What are the most promising ways for bottom-up networks to share financial resources in an anonymous, *sovereign* way, without e.g. the interference of Zionist, fascist, bootlicking intermediaries? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Thank you. Monero looks interesting.

Oh yes, I can see how that looks bad.

I was referring to the article I shared. How Zionists and Zionism-supporters in the West prevent grassroots money from flowing to Gaza (while our big money has no trouble finding its way to the Israeli genocide machine).

But I guess people generally only read the title.

Or are Zionists themselves maybe.

Does anyone have any idea why this is being downvoted? I'm not hurt or anything, just curious.

PoS, NixOS, desktop wallet: where to start? (mander.xyz)

I am interested in buying some PoS coin like Cardano's ADA.

I do not want the wallet to be tied to some browser. A simple desktop application would be best. If necessary CLI.

I am running NixOS.

I would like to remain completely anonymous.

What do you recommend?

So you send some person/ organization cash, and they send you crypto coins back? That's the idea?

Reading this article reminds me how much our ability to send each other money relies on the willingness of the institutional middlemen who control our money.

Although I believe there are good reasons to control the flow of Big Money, I can't help but feel that it is especially Big Money that manages to escape all institutional control, while it is small money - e.g. the money supporting bottom up resistance and solidarity networks - that is facing all the suppression.

Given all of this, what are the most promising ways for bottom-up networks to share resources in an anonymous, sovereign way? Without e.g. the interference of Zionist, fascist, bootlicking intermediaries?

Is it sending envelopes with cash? Or is this maybe a reason to (cautiously) get into crypto? If the latter, what would be the way to go?

Yes. But "America bad, China good" is also brainrot.

Name showing in log in? (mander.xyz)
 

Small question: I am on Debian and use Gnome. I'm the only user on this laptop.

Is it possible to hide my username from the log in screen? So that only the password field shows?

The point is, my login name is my first name, and I don't like it ...

  1. ... when people in public transport can see my first name when I log in
  2. ...that if I lose my laptop, the people who find it can easily know my first name

I realize I could also simply pick a username that is not my first name, but it would save me a lot of reconfiguration if I could simply hide the name from the login screen.

Is Bluesky (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon? (mander.xyz)
 

Reading this article, and especially the end ...

CEO Jay Graber told The Verge that the plan is to hand over control of the AT protocol to a web standards body like the Internet Engineering Task Force.

... it almost sounds as if Bluesky is (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon.

But I'm suspicious. What is the catch?
