Und plötzlich ist das #WLAN weg. Die Fritzbox so:

Radar wurde auf Kanal 100-128 (Frequenz 5.500-5.640 GHz) oder einem mitbenutzten Kanal erkannt, automatischer Kanalwechsel wegen bevorrechtigten Nutzers ausgeführt.

Das passiert am Tag locker seine 5 bis 10x. :/

AMAZON IS BEING FLOODED WITH BOOKS ENTIRELY WRITTEN BY AI

And it's the same story with music produced by AI on Spotify/deezer, AI generated photos flooding stock images libraries... Etc.. 😢
The end of the world is nigh my friends.

#Maduro arrives in Saudi Arabia to "strengthen political, diplomatic and energy alliances"

" We are in #SaudiArabia to continue with our productive international work agenda, which advances in the strengthening of bilateral relations, of brotherhood and respect between #Venezuela and the world, " he wrote.

The Venezuelan leader is expected to hold meetings with King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince #MohamedbinSalman.

Venezuelan delegation, chaired by the Minister for Transportation, Ramón Velásquez Araguayán, is part of the special guests at the 14th Infrastructure and Construction Investment Forum that takes place in #Macao, #China.

The space served to connect the potential and opportunities offered by China in the consolidation of investment projects with allied countries, including Venezuela.

Ramón Velásquez, during his speech at the international forum, conveyed the willingness of President Nicolás Maduro to establish cooperation and investment alliances with China, in favor of the development of new projects in the infrastructure area.

"Currently we are willing to open our doors to promote international exchange and cooperation in the country, joining the eventuality of establishing strategic alliances with the objective of achieving agreed development goals in favor of the digital and sustainable economy," he said.

Ramón Velásquez reported that during his participation in the forum he will hold meetings with Chinese state companies to discuss plans that favor the construction of new land, air and cargo terminals, under an innovative proposal for sustainable development, digital innovation and "green energy".

#BraveNewWorld
Close your eyes and sleep
Ignore all the burdens that you keep
Come whatever may
They could never harm you anyway
Stirrings in the wind
Resonates a whisper from within
Warnings from afar
Telling you to heed the morning star
Waking from the dream
Witnessing the smoke that's rolling in
The end is what you fear
The scent of embers lingers in the air
It's like a web there is no escape from
It's got you trapped and you long for freedom
Every wish every dream was granted
Never knowing what they demanded
You see the wall how it's getting higher
You want to fight but you're all divided
It's not a world anyone can thrive in
Is this the world we were meant to grow in?
Somebody tell me where are we going?
A brave new world will rise
If we do not act upon its lies
Hold your tongues no more
Learn from all the ones who came before
Catch the wind and fight the storm
Through the fury we're holding on
Take your time but not too long
Make it worth the time you own
You woke a fire inside of me
Fanned the flame and made it breathe
You woke a fire inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me

Hi, I am Alexander, I live in Russia and I am huge cryptocurrency opponent. I hate just about everything about crypto: waste of resources, technical imperfections, five billion kinds of competing coins some of which are clearly fraudulent, great involvement of crypto in scams, speculative investments and all kinds malicious usage some of which were made possible by crypto (e.g. mainstream ransomware). Also little reliability of agents dealing crypto who at the same time have zero responsibility yet require trust.

Who needs "money" like that, right? People invented banking, payment systems and other financial institutions for a reason. I swore I would never touch it.

Year 2022 came and brought War like one Horseman¹ of Apocalypse already hanging around wasn't enough.

  • Most popular global payment systems blocked Russia which was bad enough itself but what was even worse it became almost impossible to pay for services which remained operational but had no other forms of payment.
  • SWIFT bank transfers mostly stopped working and what remained became very expensive.
  • Some foreign investment accounts were frozen. So much for investing in US shares. Poof.
  • EU now forbids exporting euros to Russia and some countries (like Finland) can actually confiscate² cash on border.
  • Local accounts in foreign currency are restricted by the government which means you can't withdraw cash from them in substantial amount.
  • At the same time now they have negative interest rates so if you just leave them they will get depleted anyway. The only way is to convert them to rubles at shamelessly low rates.
  • Ruble, local currency, has about four very different rates towards other currencies (depends where, how and in which direction you convert) and suffers from high inflation (which again is very different depending how you calculate but significant no matter what).
  • Local government as well as just about everyone else tightened all kinds of financial regulations, restrictions and tracking.
  • Looks like everyone declared cold war on cash. I have some money in 500 and 200 euro notes which apparently are next to impossible to use in EU now because are you drug dealer, gun runner or child trafficker as no one else has use for these notes? Locally it is a bit better but clearly not for long.

...

So here I am standing before you admitting I broke my oath. I still think crypto is crap. So is the current state of the world and I hate to say it but the future doesn't look much brighter. I thought these cryptoanarchists had distorted perspective - apparently not. It is not that their vision is dystopian - it is our world that becomes ugly mess fitting their expectations.

¹ - Pestilence of course. Although if you like the other interpretation where it is Conquest - it fits even better.

² - As I hear they don't formally confiscate euro cash on Finnish border but "take it to be returned later on the next visit" and don't really search for it but it happens.

Two years ago I reshared this article but added my version of infographic showing how these tracking apps could work in near future. It was intended mostly as a joke. Mostly. You can see it below.

Well. Here you go: China uses COVID tracking app to block people from joining protests by changing their COVID status to red. Also it is suspected that COVID tracking system was used to identify those who intended to join protests in the first place and then to track and detain those who managed to do it anyway.

#BraveNewWorld we live in.

Coronavirus: Call for single EU tracking app with data protection | BBC News

Europe's data protection watchdog has called for a single coronavirus app to be used across the EU, instead of every country making its own.
Several countries are developing tracking apps, but privacy advocates warn of the dangers they might pose.
The European Data Protection Supervisor says a single EU app with strong data protection built in is the best solution to the coronavirus pandemic.

The longer I think about "Brave New World", the more unsure I am if Huxley really wrote a dystopia.

Today's youth seem to favour just such a world, and the media confirm me in this. Drugs should be legalized. Influencers promote Gucci and Prada for everyone. Netlix for passive entertainment in free time and Tinder for all you can f*ck. The fact that there are limited resources and that peace does not rule everywhere does not play a role for Huxley, but otherwise there is little that really speaks against the 'Brave New World'.

Vous avez aimé le passe sanitaire/vaccinal ? Ne ratez pas le prochain épisode : le « portefeuille d’identité numérique »

Envie de partager votre vie entière avec un groupe privé, partenaire du gouvernement ? En juin 2021, la Commission européenne a acté par la voix de Thierry Breton, commissaire au Marché intérieur, la création d’un Digital Identity Wallet pour tous les Européens. D’ici septembre 2022, les États membres devront en avoir établi les procédures techniques pour lancer des expériences pilotes....L’une des originalités du portefeuille numérique : « En cas de suspension d’un droit de l’individu pour quelque raison que ce soit, le gouvernement peut l’invalider en temps réel sur la plateforme » On peut donc désactiver à distance les moyens de paiement, la couverture santé ou le permis de conduire d’un citoyen...Le fait que #Thierry-Breton ait quitté son poste de PDG du groupe #Atos (groupe qui a depuis fusionné avec Thalès pour devenir Athea)... pour devenir commissaire européen n’a probablement aucun rapport.
