is the 100 dollars a year for a developer account more or less than 30% of where you see your zap income in 10 years from now?

What about just not paying anything else to Apple on principal and buying a phone that's actually yours?
because this is a more nuanced point that smash a phone
Smash a phone is just a bit of fun a little running joke.
Voting with your wallet however is the basis of a free market.
Apple fucks you over and your solution is... give them more of your money?
One can edit a plist and export an .ipa file… safer than trusting a builds you find on fdroid… but continuing calling yourself a maxi while you trust but not verify.
Wtf you talking about F-Droid is open source software. You can literally read and build it yourself. On an open source OS.
Apple products are locked down so much you must blindly trust them. Which you are, because iOS is not open source and those tracking controls in your settings don't stop Apple's own trackers.
Whereas you can use de-googled Android or even sandbox Google Play Services.
moving the goal post. you can edit a plist and compile open source code into a .ipa for free and side load it with a tool that with automatically resign if you on the same network. This way you know that code is what it says it is.
Your other criticisms are valid but is changing the topic.
If you build a house on sand, it doesn't matter how well built the house is, it has a weak foundation.
You talk about don't trust verify but I'm using an open source OS, an open source app store, and open source apps.
You are putting an open source app on a closed source OS running on a locked down device you have no control over.
It is you who isn't verifying before you trust because you can only verify Damus. But if it runs on top of a locked down closed source OS, what does it matter?
Every element of my software stack is open. Only one of yours is.
You are trusting without verification.
moving the goal post yet again. Yes or no do you see yourself making the equivalent (adjust for inflation and bitcoin price) over $333 usd in zaps ten years from now? you seem to be arguing that you aren’t that bullish on nostr.
No I don’t talk that way, you do. Did you compile your own graphene? More props to you if you did.
I am actually in the process of creating a fork of Graphene so yes to answer your question.
Probably much more.
But again it's irrelevant because I refuse to give a single dollar to Apple.
I will however take donations of unused iPhones.
To smash on livestreams.
