It depends on your vision of 'the case for bitcoin'. To me, it is absolutely the case. You collateralize your debt with bitcoin, to buy more bitcoin. Using your pet rocks to create more pet rocks, creates more scarcity, price goes up. It is a perfect circle. Saylor is a genius to see that, but he isn't the only one.
The problem though is that long term, I'd argue that ETH is playing this game a lot better. If you can mentally get past the DAO failure and whatever other drama, programmable money, is the absolute future, especially since they solved the energy usage issue, and soon the scaling issues.
I consider one of my biggest digital accomplishments to be moving my whole family and friendship group off Facebook to Signal. Now, I feel much more comfortable with my digital communication.
Simplex looks awesome. It has pros over Signal. In an ideal world, I'd pick it over Signal in a heartbeat. However, there is basically a 0% chance that I'm uprooting my whole situation for Simplex. Until Signal shows demonstrable negatives to my privacy and security, I'm not moving off. I'm not a brand shill. I made the decision to pick the most user friendly messenger I was comfortable with. Network effects are powerful. So yes, "still using Signal".
Highlighting personal experiences with rampant censorship on major platforms, the article advocates for the adoption of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) as alternatives, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue in digital communities.
Seems like a fresh mirror here https://gitea.eponym.info/Mirrors/youtube-dl to fork and start it over somewhere else. Gitea is a great project. Now we need someone to fork and publish it over Tor or something. Decentralized solution would be a next step.
Diff between that mirror and the one from the web.archive.com looks good. I.e. no hidden/evil things inside. Looks safe to start over.
I will give the main contributors the neccessary access for reviewing/merging/etc.. or will entirely hand over the project if you can prove you are the maintainer.
