        The EU is re-inventing the wheel with their CBDC. And they're doing a really mediocre job with it.

        And why? Because they want to remain in control (and ultimately have the ability to censor).

It's buckling under pressure from centuries of market-based social experimentation. It's failed on all accounts - our planet is fast becoming inhabitable and social structures that keep us safe and secure is fading away - it's time to put the misguided experiment to rest.

                              Tchap, the French government's messaging app, was breached in June: attackers claim ~13.5GB exfiltrated — 643,000+ messages, 876 rooms with full history, 59,000+ media files.

                              A breach that size means the server was sitting on plaintext-adjacent history at rest, regardless of transport encryption. The real question isn't "is it encrypted in transit" but "what does the server retain, and for how long." Minimize what's stored, not just exposed.

                                        It's a great distraction, which gives me a bit of hope. Especially the next guide, which will cover my favorite fediverse software - #GoToSocial (which is powering this instance) - and how to install and configure it.

                                        Surely something like this would fall outside the scope of regulation. Right? Right?
