It appears that if you don’t do the digital ID when going through the airport security, you’re then harassed on the way back through.

“Random screening,” my ass.

Need a class action for this bullshit.

If even one person on here decides to look into #Bitcoin and/or the philosophy of Alan Watts, my time has not been wasted.

We are told we need mass surveillance to protect civil rights.

We are told we need censorship to ensure free speech.

We are told we need bank bailouts to rescue the free market.

We are told we need compliance to protect science.

We are told we need rigged elections to save democracy.

We are told we need forever war to secure peace.

We’re at the state in nostr clients where “you can move between clients “ with the same key is no longer true. Logging into other clients can easily break your account on damus because many will wipe your relay list. Damus strictly follows your relay list when pulling data so that you have ultimate authority of what is received in your feed.

This is not the only way to do it, the gossip model model will pull data based on what other users define in their relay read/write descriptors, but then the user has less control on what is displayed and from where, as it becomes a decision that other users make on your behalf. This is actually good for decentralization but it doesn’t mean its the best or only way to fetch notes.

because this is not defined by the protocol, many clients make assumptions about how data is pulled. Many just used a fixed set of relays or use their own cache relay. Some use gossip model. This means logging into different clients might give different views of the data.

So if your damus account is broken by another client, sorry. All i can say is “warranty is voided if you put your nsec into another client”. And that is pretty sad :(

Having different views in different clients is a feature, not a bug.

Obscure virus with very few documented human infections suddenly gains virality in humans, and coincidentally starts to cause birth defects. WHO declares a pandemic. Mosquitos spread to Europe and USA.

Think i saw this movie before. 🤔

After what they have done to our children, handcuffs should be clicking.

I'm getting extremely upset when reflecting over all the harm the corporations and governments did during covid. Everything from stealing years of our lives, to manipulating our fears with propaganda, pit us against each other, witch hunts, silence and deplatform us, locking us down using vaccine passports and surveillance, covering up the origins of the virus, faking research, to mandating medical products or face repercussions such as losing your job, unsafe medical products that caused alot of deaths, injuries and suffering.

Its like i woke up from a hazy dream, but it was all real. What the hell happened?

I am pissed off.

Stablecoins are ticking time bombs of custodial risk that will end in massive regulatory rug pulls at best and rails that will become completely co-opted and controlled by the state at worst.

Not very interesting in my opinion. No matter how much traction they may have.

If miners decided the rules of the #Bitcoin network, we would still be mining 50 BTC block rewards. During the very first halving, some miners didn’t agree with the concept of the halving and created their own fork that still rewarded 50 BTC. It was an expensive lesson.
