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?

Smart Homes Get 'Smarter': Big Tech Put Their Collective Support Behind Matter
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Is your smart home too decentralized? Not to fear!

Matter is the latest Unified Smart Home Standard that attempts to unify how smart devices communicate. Yes, that means all the home assistants, lighting, and thermostats.

The Connectivity Standards Alliance just launched Version 1.0 of the standard, now its 280 member companies can begin testing and certifying their devices. Members include Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, Huawei, LG, Samsung - and many more.

—
Rather than introducing any entirely new technology, which would slightly defeat the object of being a unifying force, Matter uses only existing standards: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy for initial pairing, and Thread – a relatively recent networking protocol that connects products from different brands without the need for a hub.

You won't need a new Matter smart home hub though, the tech can easily be baked into existing devices. Smart speakers, routers, digital displays and the like are all prime candidates to be Matter controllers; the likes of Google, Amazon, SmartThings and Apple have already stated that a bunch of their existing devices will be upgraded to become Matter controllers.

The list of devices that Matter will cover is pretty exhaustive – lighting and electrics, heating and cooling, locks and security devices, windows and blinds, and TVs are all included – and the line-up of alliance members and participants reads like a who’s who of the tech world: Huawei, Oppo, Logitech, Xiaomi, iRobot and Panasonic are just some of the names on the 240-strong list.

—
My take: You remember when smart thermostats began turning themselves off? Now we can look forward to lighting and electronics doing the same. Perhaps if there's another lockdown, the locks will do us a favor and lock themselves.

Although technology and home automation doesn't have to be evil - it will likely end up that way with these companies leading. This smart tech is smart for whom exactly? For governments to enforce arbitrary limits on us? For corporations to spy on us continuously?

Your smart tech is evil, my dumb tech is wise.

How can we resist smart technology as it gets pushed on us?

Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo Issues New mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance

"This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. 

As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Those with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision."

EU Bans Crypto Services From Being Provided to Russia
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

In a recent press release, the European Union announced an eighth round of sanctions against Russia. These include the ban of crypto-asset wallets, accounts, or custody services. It also bans professional services like IT consultancy, legal, architecture, and engineering.

This could come as a response to Russia's legislation to accept and regulate cryptocurrency within its borders, after reaching agreement with the Bank of Russia. You may have not known the Russian Federation ranks 3rd in the world by mining power.

Cryptocurrency Exchanges in the EU are expected to follow the sanctions and ban Russian users from using its site. These exchanges would include Binance, OKEX, BitBay and others.

Will these sanctions give rise to the upstart of decentralized exchanges?
