Encryption isn&#39;t proof against rubber hoses, but it is effective against many other forms of state repression, and it can provide a technical edge for those engaged in a political struggle.&#34;*<br/><br/><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/28/we-live-in-a-society/">https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/28/we-live-in-a-society/</a><br/><br/>#cryptography #cryptocurrency #crime #corruption 2026-05-28T15:45:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdkqzscts28x3v4yadkqdvagrhlphk7r54r6q4xa2lfqkczqne0qqzyrj0vudw3l9ehplcshu24awkd38pqy5js3x82sky5jk7pj0wcue2va53v22 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqc832k7dj5kqmemq8qhqar7s245ed7ywxcdwxrq8nmyycac6v0hs7zvae2'>nevent1q…vae2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Already side-loaded a bunch of DRM-free books from <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span> and some free theory texts I had kicking around, along with *&#34;Hacking the Xbox&#34;* from Andrew &#39;bunnie&#39; Huang, and Cixin Liu&#39;s *&#34;The Three-Body Problem&#34;*.<br/>I also bought qntm&#39;s *&#34;There Is No Antimemetics Division.&#34;* 2026-05-20T00:09:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqc832k7dj5kqmemq8qhqar7s245ed7ywxcdwxrq8nmyycac6v0hszyrj0vudw3l9ehplcshu24awkd38pqy5js3x82sky5jk7pj0wcue2vygm4h9 My wife and son bought me a Kobo reader and a couple of cool &#34;Hawaiian-style&#34; shirts for my birthday. :cyberheart_red: 2026-05-19T23:57:11Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf8xjm7f2wd5u0hk9025qt3m2jgsl2zxew2j78a35zds6gqvklj4gzyrj0vudw3l9ehplcshu24awkd38pqy5js3x82sky5jk7pj0wcue2v0ezmmv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr2q25en06ux025dvschklnumxjx2kydvf3vfmg6he242g5lk28esp3djs6'>nevent1q…djs6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My brain immediately started hearing this in the Budweiser frog voices.
