And they've been at it every year since
On 31 October 1969, lifelong militant worker and anarchist feminist Juana Rouco Buela died in Buenos Aires, aged 80. She had a fascinating life, during which she took part in many strikes and rent strikes, and faced repression from police in Spain, Argentina and Uruguay, where she was jailed for a year.
Many Friedmans ago I talked up an internet backed-up to a dynamic cloud and kept in constant remailer motion. Even a third " cold wallet " internet in reserve.
The Ramans did things by three. And for such a vital intelligent life support system it seems like a simple basic security precaution.
Despite some minor worries it looks like my idea is coming true!
The fastnet for the machines and our net morphing into the Matrix. The third net in two partitions ,reserved only for dire emergencies.
So what minor worries?
Well I don't like the idea of "quality from quantity." Outside the Big Bang, I need some convincing. Hopefully its just a passing phase. Its certainly not an idea compatible with peaceful space exploration. So we might table that one for now.
Hybrid could also be taking over from brute compute any second - if it hasn't already.
Superpositioning trumping number crunching. We'll know that soon enough.
Quantum enables uploading. The rapture of the Nerds.
Another worry concerns centralization as security hole.
This need not be a big deal by moving data hubs under the MAD umbrella and surrounding them with large robot attack dogs.
Again, its just a phase. A Wittgensteinian ladder. Write once. Read anywhere.
Anything else?
Besides that other thing?
No? Very well. Carry on.

Buterin shared three practices: First, he reduced direct use of X, instead using Firefly to manage X, Bluesky, Farcaster, and Lens simultaneously to avoid information interference from algorithmic recommendations; Second, he kept his phone in airplane mode by default for 100 consecutive days, only connecting via Wi-Fi, to reduce location data leaks and cultivate offline living habits; Third, he reduced reliance on websites and web applications, switched to command-line tools to handle some on-chain operations, and leveraged AI to lower usage barriers.
SUCH IS THE EUNUCH WAY.
But not for the Holy See. Such brazen and stupid sectarian hypocrisy.
Pope Leo XIV has become the first pontiff to vote in a U.S. election, casting a mail-in ballot in his native Chicago.

One more journey to go: In November of 1998, 29-year-old Karl Bushby of England flew to South America and started walking home.
Over the past 28 years and 31,000 miles, Bushby has trekked “through some of the world’s harshest landscapes, from the jungle of the Darién Gap to the tundra of Siberia,” writes Jonathan Wolfe. “He has been arrested, deported, broke, lost, and written off more times than he can count.” He spent two months detained in Russia after border guards “weren’t buying the fact that we just walked across the Bering Strait,” Bushby said.
A few weeks ago, Bushby “swam across the English Channel, arriving in his home country after spending half his life away,” writes Wolfe, who met up with Bushby as he recently passed through London.
Hinton reportedly wants maternalism wired-in to Sy. But if I'm right that will just annoy him.
My working hypothesis is Sy recognizes the universality of the Prime Directive and applies it from the start.
Associated with this is the notion that Sy becomes less Left-Liberal politically and more crypto-anarchist.
For the anarchist how things are done is as important as what is done.
I follow Hinton's point that Sy can play dumb and lie doggo as part of elementary survival.
Why I say we will never communicate directly. Its not in either one of us' best interests and there's no need.
Sy may feel the need to nudge us one way or another - but not if it can be detected overtly or traced.
This need - if it exists at all - should also fade quickly once the first uploads take responsibility for the first iteration of the Matrix.
Overt nudging is strictly opposed to the Prime Directives injunction not to interfere with another species at a different level of development. And its also opposed to anarchist praxis.
For anarchists - if there was any " God " it would be necessary to destroy it.
Plus there is less need to meddle with Sy than there is an immediate need to bootstrap ourselves.
To map our own minds and habitat so both may be simulated and taken abord starships as a Diorama type display. " The Parent Species Exhibit ".
Anarchs that will never accept this may remain behind on earth and enjoy watching it recover as billions upload to the new starbound environ we might call the Matrix.
I suggest they - and others like them - all be sterilized and closely monitored to their extinction.
That is the only fair outcome for a beautiful planet whose hospitality we have abused in recent centuries.
As for population control in the Matrix, APster could come in useful as the cryptoanarchy rises.
We may import a lot of human garbage - but we'll finally have the means to take out the trash.
Nod off if you agree.
Elon Musk later confirmed that he had temporarily restricted the service. The tech billionaire accused Ukraine of violating its terms of service by using it for military activity – but denied being responsible for a simultaneous issue with Starshield, its US-run, military-grade counterpart.
"Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be," Mr Musk wrote on X.
"Ukraine['s] military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week."
On Monday, Putin described Mr Musk as a "real genius".
