#TBOT Power Users #3: Morning Self-Care Routine
@takebackourtech

JOIN THE NEWSLETTER

Good morning you beautiful soul,

We're taking a detour from tech today - to the most important technology of all. (human technology)

In an age where we are asked for so much by the outside world - its important to ask ourselves what we need and design our lifestyle around fulfilling those needs. This practice is called 'self-care', and I have discovered it recently but my appreciation for it has grown with each passing day.

I'd like to share my morning self-care routine with you, because its making a huge difference in my life. I hope it might remind you of something you want to do for yourself.

For me, its composed of 5 different pillars of care, you don't have to be so extensive but its nice to be able to separate and give each one my full conscious attention.

I start this routine in the morning and it can take up to an hour or more to complete - on days where I wake up late, it gets neglected. Waking up early is an crucial part, as you can perform your self-care without the pressing demands of the day.

The order of these is dynamic, according to what you need that morning. When I wake up with back pain, I'm more inclined to start with body care than anything else. If I wake up with troubling thoughts, then spirit care is the go to.

Spirit Care

Spirit Care is one of the most important pillars, it allows you to check in with yourself and gives an opportunity to 'take out the spiritual laundry'. You may choose to perform breathwork, contemplate on your thoughts and feelings, meditate, or visualize your dreams. Its a great way to dedicate time to your meditation practice. Recently I have been watching and practicing the Heart Math breathing & coherence techniques on their free program: The Heart Math Experience - I encourage you to check it out! If you're interested, I will be having an interview with Howard Martin, one of the founders of HeartMath. We will discuss the technology of the heart, and how your heart coherence can effect your experience and the world around you.

Self Care

Self Care for me is about taking care of our physical form and its complexities. Its during this time where I plan out my vitamins and supplements for the day and take what I need. I will acknowledge pains or problems, and I might even spend time researching or reading on what I could to fix them. This fits in perfectly after your shower routine, you can use it to take care of your skin, teeth, hair and so much else. So much knowledge is freely available out there. Sometimes it can be easy as searching

Body Care

My self care routine first started with Body Care out of necessity. This is where you address the physical pains in your muscles, tightness, and any weaknesses you might have. This is a great time to start a yoga or stretching practice. Rather than putting it in a timebox, I will give every muscle group its full attention until they feel stretched and active. On top of doing a regular routine, this is the perfect time to address the parts of your body you have been ignoring but are calling out for help. You may grab some books on Yoga, or specific pains you are having. Here is one book I am using that's been incredible.

Space Care

They say a clean room is a relfection of a clean mind. I dedicate time each day to picking up around my spaces, cleaning the surfaces, organizing. I find pleasure in structuring the space to better match my goals. This is also a perfect time to go out and check on the plants. 🌿

People Care

Usually the last part of my morning routine is people care, which first consists of making time for loved ones, and then responding to the many messages I might have missed throughout the week. Its time to stay connected in new relationships, be curious about others, and to share your appreciation and gratitude. I keep track of the open communication loops and try to take care of them during this time.

That's it for the care routine! The important part is giving yourself dedicated time to express your needs. If we wait till we start our day, then unfortunately our needs compete with the outside world which is often louder and more pressing.


I'd like to end this post by sharing my love & appreciation for my wonderful partner Curly. She was the first to make me realize me proper self care by inviting me to her skin care routine, which we would do together every morning. At first I didn't understand the point, but now I'm experiencing the power of loving yourself through intention, care, and action.

How will you prove love to yourself today?

I love pretty desktops. I recently switched back to the Kubuntu operating system (stripping out Canonical's telemetry) and have been impressed with the improvements to KDE's performance.

The next post in the newsletter will discuss how to have a clean migration to a new OS, and give a little tour of Kubuntu/KDE.

SEC is "Out to Damage or Destroy" Crypto Industry in America: LBRY CEO

LBRY CEO Jeremy Kauffman called out the Securities and Exchange Commission at Messari’s Mainnet conference in New York this week, as the decentralized file-sharing network continues to navigate legal action from the regulator.

The SEC charged LBRY with selling unregistered securities in March of last year. The Commission alleged that the company raised $11 million through the sale of LBRY Credits, tokens that are used to upload files and make payments on the blockchain-based platform, before the LBRY network was built. The company disputes this claim and says no tokens were sold before the network was fully functional.

The SEC nevertheless viewed LBRY Credits as investment contracts, based on the notion that buyers believed they would reap profit from purchasing the tokens. Kauffman said the company has been “fighting the SEC for coming up on five years" and soon expects a federal judge to weigh in with a ruling on whether a full trial is necessary. The verdict will have far-reaching implications for other companies as well, according to him, setting some level of precedent for companies that have raised money for their projects through an initial coin offering or ICO.

“The facts in this case would basically apply to every company in this room,” Kauffman said. “The SEC has very much demonstrated that they are out to damage or destroy the cryptocurrency industry in the United States.”

Kauffman is currently on the ballot in New Hampshire, representing the Libertarian Party in a bid to be one of New Hampshire’s next U.S. senators. Kauffman believes that his file-sharing platform and libertarian ideology are somewhat aligned, in regards to how some feel about politics and social media. “People are tired," he declared, "of having these bureaucrats, these middlemen, making these decisions for them." Just a few weeks ago, the SEC declared that all of the global Ethereum network fell under its jurisdiction

WARNING: New Type of Telegram Attacks Fool Admins Into Bot Takeovers
@takebackourtech | ADVISORY

Do you run a Telegram group? Be very careful when promoting bots to administration positions.

I have observed attackers mimicking the profiles of popular group management bots. Their plan is to sit in your group and hope you promote one of their fake profiles to become an administrator.

Once that happens they will attempt to take over your group from you. Here's an example of the attack.

Always search for bots by their exact username, confirm this on the bot's developer site.

How We First Met? Using Google Maps History To Retrace a Relationship Story
⚡️@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Ever curious about what Google can infer about you? This data analyst dug into her own Google location data. Her analysis shows how WiFi, GPS, and Cell Towers all work together to map out our movements.

Remind me again why we use Google Maps?

--

When I met my boyfriend, I sometimes felt a tinge of regret that we never got to make an adorable meet-cute story, despite living in the same city for five years and attending the same university. Our story isn’t unique from many couples in 2020- in a trough between COVID waves, we started speaking online, on Bumble, a dating app.

Thanks to Google’s location history quietly ticking away collecting GPS data in the background I thought that I could potentially find an answer to how fatefully our paths criss-crossed before we met. Just how closely did we come to potentially having an eyes-meet-across-the-room moment?

#GiveUpGithub: Microsoft's For-Profit AI Programming Tool Potentially Violates Over A Half Million Copylefted Licenses
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

You may remember the launch of Github's CoPilot last year. This AI platform could suggest code based on a short denoscription of a program, across multiple languages.

GitHub admitted that during training of the AI model, the system encountered the GPL license more than 700,000 times. This license is a copyleft license, which allows for copying and modifying the code as you wish, as long as you give other people the same freedoms.

Of course, Github / Microsoft never released any code, and are even charging to use the software. The Software Freedom Conservancy calls on all FOSS developers to give up on GitHub.



https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/

Why Give Up GitHub?
There are so many reasons to give up on GitHub, but we list here a few of the most important ones:

Copilot is a for-profit product — developed and marketed by Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary — that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to automatically generate code interactively for developers. The AI model was trained (according to GitHub's own statements) exclusively with projects that were hosted on GitHub, including many licensed under copyleft licenses. Most of those projects are not in the “public domain”, they are licensed under FOSS licenses. These licenses have requirements including proper author attribution and, in the case of copyleft licenses, they sometimes require that works based on and/or that incorporate the software be licensed under the same copyleft license as the prior work. Microsoft and GitHub have been ignoring these license requirements for more than a year. Their only defense of these actions was a tweet by their former CEO, in which he falsely claims that unsettled law on this topic is actually settled. In addition to the legal issues, the ethical implications of GitHub's choice to use copylefted code in the service of creating proprietary software are grave.

Bill Gates Push for Digital ID With $1.27 Billion Donation to Agenda 2030 ”Global Goals”

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced a $1.27 billion commitment to advance ”Global Goals” which are the 17 goals outlined in the UN Agenda 2030. As part of this, a ton of funding is going to push for global digital ID. Yes, you read that correctly. Global digital ID.

Remember when that was called a crazy conspiracy theory?

A whopping $200 million will be spent to ”expand global Digital Public Infrastructure” according to their website.

They say that this funding will be used to help countries with among other things public health threats, pandemic recovery and of course climate change. What exactly is this ”global Digital Public Infrastructure” you may ask?

Well let the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation tell you!

”This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”

There you have it. Bill Gates is pushing hard for digital ID.

Wait a minute there. Why do we need digital ID in order to help with public health threats and climate change? It certainly couldn’t be that there are plans for some kind of climate change passport tied to your digital ID, that would just be a crazy conspiracy theory…Right?
