🔏 🗝️ What is #CRYPTOGRAPHY! WW2 was won by the #betrayal of a German Soldier who passed on cipher materials that included the daily keys to Poland that broke ENCRYPTION to 📍 #LOCATION'S of #German_Submarines.
📍 It has always been about LOCATION FOLKS. Nothing else matters. Aka GPS SURVEILLANCE TRACKING. Get rid of your Cell Phones ASAP THEY ARE TRACKING DEVICES!
The 🇩🇪 #Germans lost WW2 by #betrayal of their own which marked the INVENT of a New technology called the #Enigma_Machine. aka #Encryption in its infantile 🍼 stage.
📢 #QUOTE IN 1999: "I think that the internet is going to be one of the MAJOR FORCES for reducing the role of Government. The One thing that is missing that will soon be developed is a reliable #ECASH??
~Reliable #ECASH Defined = #Programmatic_Software~ not fake Ai, not Hype, not Predictive Search.
A Method whereby, on the INTERNET 🌐 you can transfer #Funds from "A" to "B" #without "A" #knowing "B" or "B" knowing "A"?
🔏 🗝️ #Cryptography has a long and complex history, cryptography has been in existence since the 19th century!
🔏 🗝️ When we Fully Understood #SSL and #HTTPS PROTOCOLS WE UNDERSTOOD OUR ✝️ GOD GIVEN RIGHTS TO PRIVACY;) = encryption! aka cryptography 🔏 🗝️
It was like driving into #Vegas at night for the first time..
Seeing all those lights shining like dome in the middle of the desert. Anyone who drove from LA to Vegas understands what I'm talking about. Can you say #VIVA LAS VEGAS!!.. grin.
The 🔌 #Power is in the #software not hardware!
While all 👹 #Money_Worshipers #chased_the_coins LIKE #PROSTITUTES 👙 ; we were perplexed on the reasons why? Since the REAL #POWER IS IN the SOFTWARE (via #programmatic TECH) #NOT_THE_COINS!!
🔏 🗝️ #Cryptography was ALREADY INVENTED IN THE 19TH CENTURY.. CALLED #Enigma_machine in its infantile stages.
Statements like the one you see attached 'Cancel Encryption.' are for those who have never completed history in High School.
#Hans_Thilo_Schmidt was a German who spied for the 🇫🇷 #French, obtaining access to German cipher materials that included the daily keys 🔏 🗝️ used in September and October 1932. Those #keys included the plugboard settings. The #French passed the material to Poland.
The One thing that is missing that will #soon_be_developed is a reliable #ECASH. A Method whereby, on the #INTERNET 🌐 you can transfer #Funds from "A" to "B" #without "A" #knowing "B" or "B" knowing "A"?
AND GUESS WHAT AFTER MANY YEARS IN DEVELOPMENT THAT ONE THING THAT WAS #MISSING WAS #DISCOVERED 🔍🎓 🔎
.. AND ITS #NOT_HYPE, #NOT_FAKE_AI, AND #NOT_BLOCKCHAIN BUT #PROGRAMMATIC_SOFTWARE!
TO OUR SURPRISE another invention Launching Soon >>
A NEW SYSTEM THAT CANNOT BE GAMED whereby, on the #INTERNET 🌐 you can transfer #Funds from "A" to "B" #without "A" #knowing "B" or "B" knowing "A"?
🇱🇷 🐍 🇮🇱 👹 OVER ROVER!;)

🔗 All PubGLUG Services: https://haacksnetworking.dev
It is my hope that in offering a community Nextcloud with open and moderated registration ... that this will result in more users choosing #selfhosted and/or #floss offerings for groupware (contacts, calendars, etc.). Those interested in setup notes and/or seeking assistance are encouraged to come chat on Matrix (link above). This instance has the following features:
▶️ Server-side encryption ensures that content on External Storage will be encrypted whether users set it up or not
↪️ E2E encryption provides users an easy way to use the Nextcloud sync client to create shares that even the sysadmin cannot see
💾 Users are given 50GB of storage from a large btrfs platter-based pool; users may request more in DMs with valid use-cases; users may attach their own external storage.
🔦 This instance is designed to assist in pulling people off iCloud, Google, etc. and teach/persuade them how to self-host NC themselves
✨️This is early registration. Some policies are not yet finished, some bugs remain, and we might find that some things don't work. Please be patient. With that said, feel free to sign up and let me know when you've joined. We are at the mall all day, but I've got access for approvals on the phone.

I'm going on two months of using Proton's Lumo as my primary AI and honestly, I'm not looking back.
Before this, Perplexity was my main AI because I found its answers to be particularly helpful on technical subjects. It sources things very well and tends to have the best overall answers with technical topics. However, it's a Big Tech AI service: it's inherently horrible for privacy. While my Perplexity account is pseudonymous and I only ever use it for things like troubleshooting and research, it's still not good for privacy.
Before I decided to give Lumo a proper try, I had been using Venice AI. It's a privacy-respecting AI service with end-to-end encryption options and uncensored options. At its core, it's a solid service itself, but the main problem with it is that it has severe restrictions on free users: only ten text queries allowed per day. That's an absurdly low cap. Worse still, their lowest plan is $18/month. I use AI a fair amount but not enough to justify an $18/month subscription plan.
When Lumo was first launched, I found it to be pretty useless. It hallucinated constantly, the UI/UX was barebones, it just wasn't a great experience. However, when Lumo 2.0 dropped, things changed. Now, it feels nearly on par with Perplexity in terms of information and sourcing, and the UI/UX is actually excellent now. I find it to be very rare that I ever have to use a different AI, even with their free plan restrictions, and I'm even to the point where I'm considering subscribing precisely because I don't feel like I'm exploited as a free user. Their subscription is ~$10/month, by the way: significantly cheaper than just about every other AI option out there, as even the cheapest alternatives are still heavily restricted.
The fact that an end-to-end encrypted, privacy-respecting option is now truly competitive is amazing news because I love the benefits of AI, I'm just not keen on the ways it can be used against us.
