I've been struggling a little to convey that it is all sorts of things. Many people work for Boss 24/7 both for-pay and without-pay. Some people, like the experimentees, have been automatically encouraged to work so strongly that they are mostly doing random things to meet details of the automated productivity and political protocols, rather than anything actually productive. Other people do basically nothing for Boss, and have relations with the control patterns so as to do and cause arbitrary things they prefer themselves. Some people aren't mind controlled any more than most people, and live roughly normal lives. But in the story, people go to the rebel cafe of spies, rescue workers, etc, for fun, and make fun of Boss or plan to cause great good in the world. It's probably an analogy for internet lists like this one used to be. And maybe write it in a style > that isn't simply experimentation with cliches.

Phys.org: Quantum cryptography: Making hacking futile
by jim bell 01 Aug '22

Phys.org: Quantum cryptography: Making hacking futile. https://phys.org/news/2022-07-quantum-cryptography-hacking-futile.html The Internet is teeming with highly sensitive information. Sophisticated encryption techniques generally ensure that such content cannot be intercepted and read. But in the future high-performance quantum computers could crack these keys in a matter of seconds. It is just as well, then, that quantum mechanical techniques not only enable new, much faster algorithms, but also exceedingly effective cryptography. Quantum key distribution (QKD)—as the jargon has it—is secure against attacks on the communication channel, but not against attacks on or manipulations of the devices themselves. The devices could therefore output a key which the manufacturer had previously saved and might conceivably have forwarded to a hacker. With device- independent QKD (abbreviated to DIQKD), it is a different story. Here, the cryptographic protocol is independent of the device used. Theoretically known since the 1990s, this method has now been experimentally realized for the first time, by an international research group led by LMU physicist Harald Weinfurter and Charles Lim from the National University of Singapore (NUS). For exchanging quantum mechanical keys, there are different approaches available. Either light signals are sent by the transmitter to the receiver, or entangled quantum systems are used. In the present experiment, the physicists used two quantum mechanically entangled rubidium atoms, situated in two laboratories located 400 meters from each other on the LMU campus. The two locations are connected via a fiber optic cable 700 meters in length, which runs beneath Geschwister Scholl Square in front of the main building. To create an entanglement, first the scientists excite each of the atoms with a laser pulse. After this, the atoms spontaneously fall back into their ground state, each thereby emitting a photon. Due to the conservation of angular momentum, the spin of the atom is entangled with the polarization of its emitted photon. The two light particles travel along the fiber optic cable to a receiver station, where a joint measurement of the photons indicates an entanglement of the atomic quantum memories.

Cryptocurrency: Israel Implements Brutal Ban and War On Cash
by grarpamp 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Gimp countries of the WEF Bilderburg Davos and US are rapidly rolling out criminal charges for using cash, up to and including firm plans to completely kill and end cash... You fools were warned about this coming of 1984, and to fight it, and you ignored it. Very soon the big G-5/7/8/10 countries including the US will do this, and you will be fucked. Israel's War On Cash Gets Drastic https://themedialine.org/by-region/israel-bans-use-of-large-sums-of-cash/ https://y-tax.co.il/en/cash-reduction-law/ https://www.pymnts.com/cash/2022/israels-lower-threshold-on-cash-transactio… https://schiffgold.com/key-gold-news/creepy-imf-paper-teaches-governments-w… https://www.ledgerinsights.com/israel-cbdc-blockchain-privacy/ https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-middle-east-health-jerusale… https://www.biometricupdate.com/202201/israeli-interior-ministry-asks-to-ex… https://www.zdnet.com/article/eight-countries-jointly-propose-digital-id-pr… https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20211110-how-israel-uses-facial-rec… https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1457799945344339977 Starting Monday, it will be a criminal offense in Israel to pay more than the equivalent of $1,700 in cash to a business or $4,360 in cash to individual, as the government intensifies its ongoing war on tangible money. It's a war that began in earnest with the 2018 passage of the Law for the Reduction in the Use of Cash. Israeli businesses and individuals began facing limits on cash transactions in January 2019. However, on Aug 1, those limits are being slashed nearly in half. “We want the public to reduce the use of cash money,” Tamar Bracha, who's responsible for carrying out the law for Israel’s Tax Authority, told The Media Line. “The goal is to reduce cash fluidity in the market, mainly because crime organizations tend to rely on cash. By limiting the use of it, criminal activity is much harder to carry out.” Israel also limits the extent to which cash is used in transactions involving multiple payment methods. If the total transaction value is more than the above thresholds, cash may only be used for 10% of the purchase. Car purchases are given a higher, 50,000 NIS (New Israeli Shekels) limit -- about $14,700. Violators are subject to penalties that can reach 25% of the transaction for individuals and 30% for businesses. According to Israel National News, the government has amassed the equivalent of $5 billion in fines since restrictions began in 2019. Not all transactions are affected, as The Media Line explains: There are some exemptions to the new law: charitable institutions, which are most common in ultra-Orthodox society; and trade with Palestinians from the West Bank, who are not citizens of Israel. In the case of the latter, deals including large amounts of cash will be allowed, yet they will require a detailed report to Israel’s Tax Authority. However, in Israel's phased approach to eliminating cash from society, those exceptions are destined to expire. Next, Israel's finance ministry plans to deliver a proposal to parliament to criminalize the mere possession of cash exceeding a certain sum. One version of the proposal set the possession cap at the shekel equivalent of just $14,700. Limits like Israel's are just one way to work toward "de-cashing" a population. A 2017 International Monetary Fund paper outlined other tactics, including abolishing large-denomination bills, imposing reporting requirements on cash transactions over a certain threshold, requiring the declaration of cash when entering or leaving a country, or applying an additional tax when cash is used. Various countries and economic blocs have already started implementing measures from this menu. A war on cash isn't the only way Israel is leading the way to an authoritarian future; it has also: Started technical trials for a central bank digital currency, which could help eradicate cash and maximize control Implemented digital vaccination passports that helped bar the unvaxxed -- including those who were unboosted -- from participating in various aspects of life. Maintained a controversial database storing the biometric data of millions of citizens. Joined a group of eight countries working toward development of "digital identities." Aggressively implemented facial recognition programs. I once warned that the architecture of oppression was near. It has arrived.https://t.co/Ph9s3qhlwH — Edward Snowden (@Snowden) November 8, 2021

I'm on my trebled hot pepper serrano phone with k-9 mail. I'm having some trouble using k-9 mail. In addition to the interface being unfamiliar to me, different sets of emails show up in the search results and in the folders than on Gmail. This may be mostly due to me not configuring it to behave like Gmail, not sure. I'd like to get off closed source mail clients where reasonable, so I'd like to stick to k-9 mail unless there's something better (like mutt ;p) but these difficulties will be slowing me for a bit. I've been using my mail client to influence my life, by spamming stuff. The name of k-9 mail is unpleasant to me. During my psychotic political targetting experience, I developed the belief that the phrases "dogs" and "cats" referred to men and women respectively who had their lives taken by organized crime or similar in some way. I'd ideally like an email client that resisted these labels. I wonder if there is something I could debug without access to a desktop system.
