What's on that forbidden street? 🧐
This why I rock offline local maps, so I always travel the shortest distance without relying on big tech services.
OpenStreetMaps is really the last alternative we have. The CoMaps app on F-Droid has a great experience, uses OSM, and let's you contribute geodata back to the map to crowdsource info.

💻 Reclaim Control with Above Book
A Linux laptop gives you something most mainstream systems no longer prioritize: control.
Instead of being locked into ecosystems built around data collection, subscriptions, forced updates, and silent tracking, you get an operating system built around transparency, customization, and user ownership.
The Above book is ready to use out of the box, with open-source apps, full disk encryption, active firewalls, a privacy-hardened browser, and no big tech integrations.
Switching isn’t just about choosing a different operating system. It’s about reclaiming your digital sovereignty and using a device that respects your privacy by default, not as an afterthought.

#TBOT 23: KYC for Your Phone, New ReCAPTCHA, UK Digital ID, Decentralized Social Media - NOSTR
Here are this week’s stories:
Bye Bye Burner Phones?: A new FCC rule threatens to end phone anonymity by demanding IDs when getting a phone number. Why? To stop robocalls. We only have 7 days to comment, so let’s look at their featherbrained reasoning and strategize a pushback.
reCAPTCHA Hypocrisy: Google’s new reCAPTCHA was just pushed to 14 million websites. This new version uses a QR code that must be scanned by your phone.
UK Digital ID to Work: The King and UK government are moving forward with Digital ID even after public outcry and a petition. Is it still going to be required to work? Yes, in a way.
Decentralized Social Media with Nostr: I tried a new social media platform and liked it. Nostr is a protocol, not a platform, and it shines at social media.

⚡️KYC for Your Phone?
In 7 days, anonymous phones may as well be dead. A new FCC rule demands cell service operators to ask for their customer’s government IDs, personal information, and past phone numbers. This goes for SIM cards, eSIMs, and VoIP numbers.
All supposedly to protect you from automated scam calls.
Let’s get this straight; we’re going to create massive new loosely-protected databases of people’s personal info to protect people from scams?
Its a data breach waiting to happen…

I'm sensing a shift towards open resistance against harmful technologies like data centers and surveillance cameras, and I'm not the only one.
But to understand where its going we must look to the past. James Corbett breaks down the Luddite movement in its historical context, looking at sabotage and assassinations, and its representation in fiction like in the Dune series.
I'm honored to join James for the last half of this episode to discuss the AI Data Center Map & solutions.

⚡️ReCaptcha Hypocrisy
Ever think internet captchas could get more annoying? Well hold on, because Google just updated their new reCAPTCHA across 14 million websites.
It has ‘AI-resistance’ by requesting the user to scan a QR code, which can only be done with a certified Google device, or Apple device. Google purposefully excluded the users of alternative operating systems, not to improve people’s security, but to ensure the big tech oligopoly remains in control.

Anytime I feel stressed about the future, I remember these words by Alan Watts.
The future is not simply happening at you, it is arising with you.
Life offers participation before certainty. It says come, then I will show you.
Trust ... And then you will see.

Why You Should Stop Fearing the Future and Trust Life Instead
Why do we fear the future so deeply? And what if the future is not something to fear at all, but something to meet with trust, presence, and quiet courage? This deep reflective talk explores the hidden nature of uncertainty, the illusion of imagined fear…

⚡️God Save the Digital ID (U.K)
Despite massive backlast to the U.K Digital ID program, the King and current administation are marching forwards. Instead of ‘Digital ID’ required to work by 2029, they’ve given everyone a break… now its just ‘Digital Verification’ required for everyone to work by 2029. So there’s no getting out of biometric capture.
A panel of 100 Britains will be chosen for a ‘People’s Panel’, the U.K government is interested in how they can get Britains to ‘love’ Digital ID as much they do.
Good luck with that.

i finally just finished writing a 23,000 word report on AI data centers. 🫠 the second longest piece i've written thus far.
it covers everything from who's behind the push, damage to our environment, our health, how to make reasonably accurate estimates for usage, how our actual water systems work, who owns the water, and my theories for why the hell any of this is happening.
and no I didn't use AI to generate any text.
now moving into final editing, but i'm proud of myself for sticking through it. i hope its comprehensive enough to be a resource for years to come.
you're going to help me share it everywhere right?
it'll be updated at https://aidatacentermap.org when its done. stay tuned. <3

⚡️Decentralized Social Media - Nostr
In this week’s #TBOT solution, I get started with Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays).
Nostr is a censorship-resistant decentralized social media protocol. In this video, we’ll do a short overview and show you how to get started in less than one minute.
Thanks to Efrat Fenigson and several members of the #TBOT community who continued to urge me to try it.
If you want a great introduction on why to use Nostr, check out my latest interview with Efrat Fenigson: How To Opt Out of the Digital Prison - Hakeem Anwar | Ep. 137

🙏 Kenya's New Data Center Will Require Shutting Half the Country Down
Announced in 2024, Microsoft is planning to build a 1 GW data center in Kenya.
“We would need to switch off half the country for the data center to be powered,” President Ruto said.
Once again, governments and big tech companies are trying to create power out of thin air, putting everyone else at risk.

🚫 The Power of Saying No
I recently talked about habits with Web3 Privacy Academy.
A really important habit to build is saying no.
At the grocery store. Rewards card? Phone number? No. I don’t have one. I don’t even have a phone.
They’re trained to ask. You have to be ready to push back.
It’s about setting boundaries.
