heart-warming. uplifting. sometimes i feel that i live in a world where "cash is king" and ego matters more than almost anything else.

idk about crypto being an option for much longer - not in 10 years, I'd think. FIDO Alliance, a NWO/New World Order org, has been working for years to put for a mandatory biometrics/digital ID login each and every time a person uses the internet on phone or PC. There have already been authorities wanting to close down or control crypto. I agree, though, that metal coins will be used to trade: gold, silver, copper, maybe nickel, and not sure what else. They'll probably be made illegal, too, but will still be used. I think we all need to find ways to work at least 5 to 10 hours off the books - a trade that is easier to hide. And, we need to start slowly to create black markets so that not only the bad guys are running black markets. Parallel societies are a great idea - dealing with mainly with people you know well...kind of like the Amish communities.

then the government must be bypassed in as many ways as possible.

well done!

or just start a campaign that costs nothing: a petition to each local politician, one to the agency that regulates anti-trust, anti-monopoly stuff. I'm kind of shocked that China hasn't sold us phones and apps that bypass some of thee American or western things we hate so much. It would seem China would encourage western dissent.

I don't know the answer for this but when I used Obsidian with the vault with Nextcloud, I made a huge mess of things. You can use the markdown/.md files (of many markdown editors like I do) in Nextcloud and use it between PCs and phones. I found Syncthing much harder to do this way, so only use Syncthing for my 50GB Music folder and for sharing PC-related things between computers such as themes, icon pack themes, wallpapers, and small programs and .iso files. And, Syncthing is no longer on Android anyway - which is good because I could never get it to work well on Android.

not all wars are bad. wars meant to defend one's own people, assets, and territory is noble. But, I am not sure exactly what you are getting at. Hopefully, you weren't being prejudiced against Germans.

me, too, but it only allows 2GB. If you plan to encrypt it for when you aren't needing it, then you can only use half that as encryption doubles files. I've been wondering if Owncloud, NC's close cousin, has a free account, too. I could use Owncloud for images, I guess.

and the USA and EU would never try to influence Poland, right? We like to think that "misinformation" is simply lies or lies-by-omission, but nearly every country does it...and probably every political party, every politician, and manyyyy individual who are not in government and not lawyers.

how much censoring do they do? Lemmy and reddit are very censorship-happy.
