Would it be possible to block @ad and decline that part of the reward?

I use Bisq and Robosats exclusively to accumulate bitcoin via fiat selling. I've been leaning more towards Robosats lately though, because on the high on chain fees (Bisq doesn't support lightning). I'm in Canada, and the CAD liquidity is horrible compared to USD and EUR; it's pretty clear from the currency breakdown in your post. I typically make a buy when I see an offer within 3% above market. Or if I really want to get some sats, I would post an offer to buy.

A resource that I found useful would be Privacy tools and if you have the technical skills self hosting apps is powerful. A good thing to get started with is obviously a bitcoin node :-) a good second would be something like a private Nextcloud on a VPS so you don't have to rely on Google/Apple cloud.

My experience so far has been that there is not a singular thing you can turn on for privacy. It's more of an awareness of how we are exploited and mass surveilled by big tech/government in a digital society. There are always things to improve for anyone that cares about privacy, and many things come down to trade offs.

Darth I see your points and agree with many.

BUT. It is important not to conflate ChatGPT/OpenAI with other open source machine learning projects that not only could be completely self-sovereign but actually a weapon to fight back.

It's like saying you dislike this new "gunpowder" thing because now any idiot can effortlessly kill from a distance. Guess what? Keep your sword, and the "evil lords" will use gunpowder and wipe you out real fast.

We are not going to stop AI by complaining or hiding in a corner. Let's learn how to use their tools against them.
