Imagine: You wake up, and all your social media accounts are gone.
Deleted. Banned. Cancelled.
Everyone on social media faces this risk, not just those on the fringe writing controversial content.
What if there was a better way?
A new "social protocol" where you cannot be banned, where you cannot lose your audience, and where you cannot be censored.
Meet Nostr ... Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Reach.
See this 👉 post for two good Nostr apps, one for Android and one for iOS. Other apps are also available.

Great American Family
(Non-Woke Christmas Movies)
Tis the season for Christmas movies.
Unfortunately Hallmark started putting woke Marxist LGBT queer debauchery in their movies a few years back, ruining their Christmas movie tradition.
When Hallmark announced they were going to add filth to their movies, the "Queen of Hallmark Christmas," Candace Cameron Bure, announced her move to Hallmark's competition, Great American Family, which Hallmark sometimes gets their movies from.
Great American Family is now producing a lineup of Christmas movies every year, just like Hallmark, but without the homo debauchery. It is a great alternative.
They also have Christian based faith films.
The app for watching Great American movies is called "PureFlix". They offer a 7 day free trial if you want to try them out.
You can create a PureFlix account at PureFlix.com. You can also get their app onto DeGoogled phones using the Aurora Store.

### Japanese Police Hunt Down Criminals by Tracing Monero
https://cointelegraph.com/news/monero-transactions-japanese-authorities-arrest-18-scammers
The crime is the crime. There is no such thing as money laundering.
Encryption is not as secure as people think.
- Cash is not traceable.
- Cash doesn't leave a permanent history on a blockchain.
- Cash does not charge a transaction fee.
- Cash does not require high tech electronics and a complex computer network to function.
- Cash does not require permission from 3rd party verification.

Just having a phone nullifies the privacy of privacy phones ... given that the spy agency can get access to the cell tower's phone location data, which they all can do.
"If you take your phone between even just your home and work —doxxed locations— it is trivial to associate it with your true-name identity..."
From Edward Snowden's Nostr post:

Set Up Fingerprint Reader in Linux Mint
(This is not a good idea if you want to keep you device more secure) 🤷🏼♂️
Note: This works on the Dell XPS-13 9365 2-in-1, and on the Dell Latitude 5400 fingerprint readers
Note: For XPS-13, swipe down over sensor. For Latitude 5400 press ... or swipe. The XPS-13 usually takes a few tries.

5. Enable the fingerprint option in pam. Hit space bare to enable an option. Make sure to leave the other options enabled so if fingerprint fails you can still log in.
6. Set max fingerprint tries to a larger number, such as 5 or 10
