Reclaim Your Future in a Digital ID World @djmarkdevlin2 and I talk about how, despite the massive push toward digital ID, we still have power. Yes, there’s big money and momentum, but self-reliance is key. By strengthening local connections, person-to-person exchange, and building skills, we can reduce our dependence. The future isn’t set, we can shape it, one local choice at a time. Watch the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=KkO1rfAg… Take back control with Above phone: abovephone.com/tbot

⚡️ Data Centers and the Heat Island Effect With Seth Holehouse, we unpacked how AI data centers literally raise local temperatures. In some areas, surface heat spikes by several degrees, all thanks to these operations. Together we can organize, there is hope if we take action. There is so much power in community. 📺 Watch interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=UNoFxA2i… 💧 Get the truth about data centers: aidatacentermap.org

San Marcos vs. Data Centers James and I discussed how the San Marcos community stopped a massive data center twice. Their water, power, and future were on the line.

Download Apps Anonymously with the Aurora Store In this clip from my recent interview with @efenigson , I show how Aurora Store lets you download apps from the Google Play Store anonymously, using a pool of shared accounts. I break down how even basic apps hide trackers,Facebook, Google, and more. It’s a wake-up call to audit your apps and choose transparency. This phone isn’t just an OS; it’s a whole privacy ecosystem. 🎥 Watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=Q5JCT4xO… 📱 Protect your data, Above can help: abovephone.com/tbot/

Do you trust Sam Altman’s “orb” to assign you a biometric digital ID? If you’re concerned about Big Tech, digital IDs, and biometrics, you might want to know about this project. I strongly encourage you to read my in-depth article on Substack, which goes much deeper into this topic (link in comments). 👀🧐

Great read. These dystopian tech CEOS grew up as bullied nerds, now planning to take their pain out on the entire world. asomo.co/p/the-scouring-of-m…

Talking with James Corbett, I explained how data centers pull vast amounts of groundwater, risking entire ecosystems and local farms.

What’s Really Behind Digital ID Standards? @efenigson and I unpack how W3C Verifiable Credentials and ISO 18013-5 are quietly becoming the global backbone for digital ID. These standards let us model any claim, like your legal identity, even your car ownership, but without strong privacy safeguards, they risk being abused. As the EU, UK, and others roll them out, we must ask: can we trust them with our most personal data? 🎥 Watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=Q5JCT4xO… 📱 Take back control over your digital life with Above: abovephone.com/tbot/

AI needs water. Lots of it. Researchers estimate that by 2030, U.S. AI data centers could consume as much water as 10 million Americans use in their homes every year. The question nobody's asking: Why are so many of these facilities being built in communities already facing water shortages? Watch this. Full interview on Rumble. Link in bio.

In my discussion with @Maninamerica , we examined the threat of depleted aquifers. When data centers pull millions of gallons, it risks wells, farms, and entire ecosystems. 📺 Watch interview here above.sh/9RHVVa 💧 Get the truth about data centers aidatacentermap.org

I've been hearing the same old thing for 5 years, people recommending questionable and sketchy privacy projects. It's rarer to find both technical and common sense being used. Should I make a video and spill tea on Signal, Tor, Protonmail and others?

Bringing a home-cooked lunch when you travel is a tasty act of resistance.

⚡ Powering Data Centers In my conversation with Mike Adams and Todd Pitner over at Decentralize.TV, we talked about how some residents lose power while data centers gain priority. But local communities still have the power to push back and shape what happens next. 📺 Watch interview here above.sh/WL3Tfb 💧 Get the truth about data centers aidatacentermap.org
