This looks really cool, thank you!

Yes- I’ve read them. Just found out about the 4th one; “The Redemption of Time,” although it is fan fiction, even Liu Cixin recommended it, apparently made the author Baoshu an established writer.

Worth reading horseshit aside?

I really enjoyed the books, but the netflix series was complete garbage. I must have watched one or two episodes, complete trash, like most of their stuff. Yes, I really abhor netflix in case you were wondering.

Denmark is trying to pry open their centralized health records database so Palantir can use it 😂, I mean, you know for uh crime and stuff.

Antenna pod, just switch settings to change the subscriptions screen to the home screen, then put the toolbar on the bottom. Then it’s a clean and simple podcast app.

We’re already at that end of the alphabet again?

Just read Henry George. Land value taxes, etc. He had it all figured out 100 years ago. The fact that we still try to determine elaborate methods for building equality is absurd. The correct answers, and methodology is a variable that is already a known, and backed by piles of empirical evidence.

He adamantly argued two things:

1. Land value tax above all else.
2. Labor must not be considered capital.

These 2 concepts are core to the economic foundation, of building a extremely dynamic society (huge middle class, open financial systems, urbanism etc.)

Use Signal instead.

Or Graphene OS, second profile, VPN etc. But accept all chats, contacts, meta data or monitored. Sign up process using anon data is getting harder and harder, especially with phone number controls. The hard part isn’t going to be running it, in a secure enclave, but signing up with anon data.

They are releasing watch after watch with near zero differentiation. In some cases the newer models are actually worse.

It’s an impressive level or garbage and waste. I’m surprised people buy this garbage.

Third is the best. It gets better and better imo

Fear Peter Thiel and his gangbuster crew of excel homies and consultants 😂

Don’t get me wrong, they’re enablers of authoritarianists, but let’s not give them too much credit. Magic? 🫧🧐🪠

"If you’ve noticed Anna’s Archive being down or glitchy this past week, here’s what’s probably going on behind the scenes.

Big academic publishers like Elsevier and Springer Nature have been stepping up legal actions against shadow libraries, including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, Libgen, and even SLUM (the uptime monitor).

They got a DMCA subpoena from a U.S. federal court that forces Cloudflare—who a lot of these sites use for CDN and protection—to hand over info on who runs these sites.

This is part of their plan to find and go after the people behind these libraries. Cloudflare doesn’t actually host any content, but since they help keep these sites online, targeting them is a way to put pressure on the whole operation.

So if Anna’s Archive has been unstable or offline, this legal pressure is probably why. It’s also a sign the fight over these sites is heating up, and whether the sites stay up depends on how well the people behind them can adapt—like switching domains or infrastructure.

Before the subpoena, publishers also asked Cloudflare to just block the sites, but since that didn’t happen right away, they went for this subpoena to dig deeper.

What does this mean for Anna’s Archive users?

The downtime might be Cloudflare reacting to legal threats or the site operators trying to stay one step ahead.

The people running these projects usually do their best to keep things running, but legal risks cause interruptions.

Honestly, no one knows how long Anna’s Archive will keep going or what shape it’ll take.

But there’s a decent chance it’ll come back in some form—maybe on new domains or setups—to keep offering access while dealing with these legal challenges.

Just wanted to share the scoop so you know it’s not random, but part of a bigger, complicated picture."

How is Anna’s Archive under attack, the mechanics? It seems cloud flare has not actually complied yet- which is why I’m curious what is going on
