Oh wow, thx. No. I'm just clueless. And there is a cultural difference, so souvereign citizens aren't the first thing that comes to my mind when reading that word... But thanks for explaining the joke to me, anyways 😅

Okay, sorry for the sarcasm. I think there is a certain overlap in the language used around general privacy principles and the more... out there, political anti-society movements.

Sometimes it's innocent and random but when I see somebody putting cryptocurrency up front in their project and using "sovereign computing" as a tagline, my internal crackpot detector goes nuts. I'm fairly sure that deep down these people would want to see the world burn to stay warm toward the end.

Hehehe. Yeah they put everything in on their site. From a canary to their company ethics, to an origin story, all necessary buzzwords, job offers (which they have none), a marketplace ... Lot's of flowery words. And honestly, it doesn't even smell like AI generated text. They've probably mastered the bullshit bingo and decided to go all in. I kinda like it (in a twisted way.)
