Have you heard Motorola announced a long term partnership for official GrapheneOS support on future 2027 flagships (Signature/razr lines)?
This is huge!
First non Pixel devices built to GrapheneOS standards.
Privacy right out of the box?!

On Friday the 15th of May, we became aware of a fingerprinting issue affecting Mullvad users.
We have a method which changes this behaviour currently being tested, with plans to begin rolling it out to our VPN servers in the coming weeks.

Most people are chasing a better retirement account but John Burnett @truthinlogicBTC thinks that is the smallest version of what is actually possible. He believes the real goal is a world where no system can ever drain people of their time, labor, and energy again. Bitcoin is part of that not just as a way to store wealth but as a permanent lock that stops the cycle of control from restarting. The life we have been living, where everything feels scarce and nothing is ever enough, is not our natural state. It is a manufactured one.

People are waking up to big tech surveillance & control - due to digital ID push, and internet access banning (age verification, VPNs). The need for open source, censorship resistant protocols & better privacy - becomes clearer.

ποΈ How To Opt Out of the Digital Prison
Ep. 137 on @takebackourtech
Hakeem Anwar is a software engineer with over 20 years in tech, and the founder and CEO of @abovephone , a conscious technology company building open source phones, laptops, and software services that free people from reliance on Big Tech. After years of building web and mobile apps for large corporations, he walked away from corporate life during Covid. He also runs Take Back Our Tech, a weekly show covering the biggest stories in tech - always with solutions. Hakeem has done extensive research into the global digital ID rollout, co-authoring the "Life Under Digital ID" report, which maps how 90% of countries already have operational digital ID or will within three years. In this conversation, we discuss global standards enabling biometric interoperability across borders, why "voluntary" always becomes mandatory, and Hakeem demonstrates the Above Phone on screen, making the case for why the window to migrate to open protocols is closing faster than most people realize.

Google just lost its $238B ad moat to a single Raspberry Pi.
A single developer created a totally free tool that blocks every ad across your entire network, all at once.
Throughout your entire home.. even before they reach any device.
You install it ONCE on a Pi. It becomes your network's DNS. Every ad domain gets sinkholed before it reaches your screen.
- Smart TV β ad-free
- Phone browser β clean
- Kids' tablets β no ads
- Facebook pixels β blocked
- Google Analytics β dead
- Smart TV surveillance β killed
- App telemetry β silenced
One setup. One $35 device. Your entire home.
A $238B industry neutralized for the price of a dinner.
100% open source. Free forever.

The devices in this picture literally replace the fiat financial system (energy extraction system) and transfer the stolen energy back to those energetic beings it was stolen from.
All you have to do is learn how and why that is.
Being sovereign and self sufficient has a beautiful look.
Bitcoin tools should be open-source for max freedom.

Fear is the most powerful tool of control ever invented and the biggest lie keeping it in place is that the physical world creates consciousness. John Burnett @truthinlogicBTCΒ believes it is the other way around: consciousness creates the physical, which means we are all actively co-creating this reality whether we realize it or not. The people and systems that want control need us distracted, depressed, and unaware of that power. The moment enough people collectively decide to put their energy somewhere else, the whole thing collapses.

The financial system is not really a financial system β it is an energy extraction machine. That is how John Burnett @truthinlogicBTC sees it, and Bitcoin is the one tool that can permanently block that extraction at the source. But for it to work it has to be absolutely scarce, no inflation, no leaky bucket, no exceptions, because any weakness will be exploited over time.

Get ready for more of this kind of thing.
βΌοΈπ¨ ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed.
GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision.
What happened?:
βͺοΈ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated.
βͺοΈ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead.
βͺοΈ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed.
βͺοΈ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out.
The bigger picture:
βͺοΈ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature.
βͺοΈ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...

Google really went from "don't be evil" to "how can I be as evil as possible".
I don't like you Google, this is monopolistic and incredibly evil.
