Rumors are going around that certain interests have a "Pr0ject 2029" and with it comes Internet censorship and tracking, including and not limited to a complete Labor party UK/Australia social media ban.

How is this even remotely legal and constitutional?

The Supreme Court just ruled today that the whole war against Lisa Cook was unfounded. Does this mean Lisa Cook can now counter-sue Trump for defamation?

This morning it appears Bitcoin is going to the trash can again because Trump said he wants the US to be the Quantum Computing capital of the world. And everyone knows Bitcoin will be hacked in mere seconds when Quantum is around.

Why don't they switch Bitcoin to being backed by prediction market technology so it's quantum-resistant/quantum-proof?

I couldn't help but notice but with recent moves towards Coinbase One and tokenized stock trading / prediction markets on Coinbase, it seems Coinbase is drifting away from it's core values of crypto/Bitcoin. In fact, the Marketplace app they created now almost in many ways mocks how scammy and useless crypto is trying to turn it into a game of social media.

What happened?

59k will fall. Mark this post. It's already tested this price level now 3 times. This is not a bullish trading pattern.

48k will be tested. STRC will cause Strategy to liquidate at least 500 to 1000 Bitcoin.

From wars to inflation to a 50% drawdown, it was implied. Now that we know Kevin Warsh will raise interest rates, Bitcoin stands no chance. Couple that with no codified national reserve, the next president can easily overturn the executive orders.

Trump is the worst president for Bitcoin, ever.

I tried Grok build on my superpower 128 GB gaming rig for both several vibe coded projects, and maintaining a self-created monolithic Java/C++/Rust/JavaScript/Python API.

So it has some strengths vs Claude Code even Fable 5.0 (when it wasn't banned...)

- Grok was able to figure out some simple Atomic Boolean logic issues Claude could not figure out, and Claude stated was incorrect and "fragile" in implementation - to where Claude Fable accidentally scoped the atomic booleans wrong which ended up unnecessarily creating thread deadlocks.

- Grok figured out some serious memory issues that Claude could not figure out in relation to failing to clear RAM out after processing large datasets in /dev/shm.

But here are some serious issues w/ Grok Build 0.1 Beta on Linux:

- MEMORY USE. Where do I start. I get it - the idea is that Grok Build spins up subagents to figure problems out faster. It does this great. The problem is, it doesn't know when to stop. Memory use can easily it 50 or 60 GB and causes VSCode to become unresponsive in the shell.

- Memory use issues only impact larger projects. Vibe coding is not impacted. I'm assuming 95% of people using Grok Build are just vibecoding trash right now and not doing serious development work. When the crowd shifts to the Claude Code crowd, this will become apparent. Subagents are expensive.

- A reminder that my 128 GB of RAM setup is like $1,000 for the RAM alone. This is out of reach of most users. And good luck finding a laptop or development VM in a corporate environment with 128 GB of RAM.

- Permissions. Grok does what it wants when it wants. It totally ignores your MD file directives or even explicit instructions. It keeps vibecoded jars / Python scripts running in the background days after you close the grok CLI out. It does ask to change files, but it does not ask to run a "sudo" command. This is potentially dangerous.

In most states, you can drive after having a seizure if you are seizure-free for 6 months and have doctor clearance. My wife has a seizure condition, and she's in her 40s. She had not had a seizure for 35 years and had one 4 weeks ago. In about 5 months (by Christmas) - she should be able to legally drive again given she remains seizure free. Her meds were adjusted as a part of the seizure.

She does not want to give up driving, being as young as she is and while on short term disability, she is not going to quit working. Driving is a must.

We have umbrella insurance. Is this something that if she remains seizure free, drives, and 5 or 10 years from now has another seizure while driving - that we could be sued over if she injures someone, and should I purchase more umbrella coverage to cover this possibility?

I'm reading Android 17 will introduce Local Area Network restrictions/permissions. I'm not clear though if legacy apps that don't have these permissions baked in will fully break, or if they will still work. I use a Unifi Dream Router Wireguard VPN to secure my Android w/ LAN firewall rules and CyberSecure - will that mean Wireguard stops working and I lose all those security benefits? And will I be able to use Chrome to access my VPN private server at home for media/weather/fitness/stocks/etc?

It's amazing how the political Right has become so oblivious to the fact that the current administration is not getting anywhere with the CLARITY act, and nothing crypto-related has been codified. Even the supposed strategic reserve has never happened, or been codified, and the only thing they are doing is telling the US Marshalls not to sell the Bitcoin when they seize it.

The CLARITY act will be dead if it does not pass this session, and this session is darn near over. Banks are putting a huge fight up over staking rewards. And we don't even have a executive order in play to bypass what the banks are doing to fight staking.

Even with the seized assets, it's just an executive order. Nothing congress approved. Which means even that can be overturned by the next Democrat that takes over on day 1 of their presidency.

Meanwhile, all the right idiots are just in TOTAL DENIAL and instead focusing on fake elections are rigged BS and the 100th Iran peace deal.

Like - when are both sides going to wake up and see that the party that was supposed to get some pro-crypto actions done is just building a ballroom and jacking off?

With all the recent market crash being blamed on Strategy, Jobs report data... everyone is ignoring that the most simple explanation for this is everyone's getting their money out of the Bitcoin ATMs before they are shut down since they went bankrupt.

Why is the market so shallow?

I keep getting nagging pop-ups to upgrade my Google account to Google Workspace. I use it for personal use and cloud redundancy of security camera footage, as well as personal email. No business at all associated with it. So not sure why they want to push me to a business account.

But the cost. The cost is insane. $300/mo for 10 TB of storage???? iDrive charges $160/year for 10 TB!!!

After the most recent updates on Android 16.x, it seems the Reddit app is defaulting me to post my daily weather posts on other subreddits such instead of my subreddit. It's great for visibility and frankly advertising since my community is based off another site where I can get "donations" for my cause - but the nature of the posts I do on a daily basis may constitute violating other subreddit's rules as spam or promotional posts.

Is there a way to change this so instead of "suggesting communities to post to" it instead just posts to the last community you were engaged with?

Several months ago I requested the personal data T-Mobile has on me, and the request took nearly 3 months to complete. I was expecting a book full of text history, adult sites I surfed when single in the Sprint days.

But the personal data report is a basic lie.

I'm trying to create my own "radar app" from the National Weather Service AWS buckets. Documentation for their full slew of available tools is https://github.com/awslabs/open-data-docs/tree/main/docs/noaa/noaa-nexrad here on Github.

It seems subscribing to real-time radar data is quite a bit more complciated than Archive data. Archive data is 12-15 minutes old many times, so it's impractical for when a tornado is headed for your house honestly. The best solution I can think of that doesn't slam AWS with constant directory polling would be to get the SNS topic notifications as outlined in the GitHub documentation.

However, I'm not a business. I'm just a SWE/weather enthusiast with 3 Gig internet. Can do whatever I want but don't want to pay $1,000/mo for the data to do so. Wanting to do this if possible locally for free - maybe even in the same Virtual Machine I gather and store all the weather data in. Without exposing it to the Internet - just VPN restricted for me.

Not having much luck with Claude Pro or Googling - seems to think I want SMS text messages. I just want to get this JSON data kind of like a RSS subscription.
