Damn

OK then... $500.000

Phewww, thank goodness!

Presidential politicians love DAY ONE! It's the honeymoon that never quite consummates the political marriage vows which ends 4 years later in divorce... or another 4 years of marriage counseling! 😁

Wow, that's some weird damage control... Issuing statements about other people's decisions and of all things using their initials in your x/twitter handle just to get the seo... 🀣

Yep. I merely got interested in the DIY law community, and made some innocuous posts about freedom and what not... BE CAREFUL those places are crawling with law worshippers all starving for dollars to pay their fiat mortgage, just like us... There's nothing they won't do to add you to their rΓ©sumΓ© and make a buck while doing it... They will doxx you, hunt you down, attack you at night and burn your only shelter down...

### What is Linux Phone Convergence?

Aside from privacy and security . . . "convergence" is one of the main appeals of Linux phones.

Convergence means your phone can be docked and used as a computer.

Linux phones are leaps and bounds ahead of Androids and iPhones when it comes to using your phone as a computer. This is because Linux phones run desktop Linux apps.

The phone in the video is Purism's [Librem5 phone](https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/), which is currently in stock for $649. It may be old slow hardware, but Purism is one of the main developers of Mobian Phosh (the Debian version of Mobile Linux), so they have things working fairly well on their hardware, but nothing even close to current Android or iPhone. DeGoogled phones are definitely the best options at the moment (Aug 2024).

Purism's other phone, their [Liberty phone](nostr:nevent1qqs056gmgknkwf4yrs3rwqdmwsxaqste7u53n6zqusndq0fcjzyx25gpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp54rfj8), is the only smart phone completely made in the USA, with the exception of its removable WiFi Card being made in India, and its chassis in China.

Here is an [overview video of the Librem5 and some if it's issues](https://odysee.com/@TheLinuxGamer:f/librem5-final:1).

I want to like it... I loved using latitude docks back in the day, but I've discovered tiling window managers like PopOS and don't want to go back... Does librem have TWMs?

### The Rob BraxmanStore

Here is the link to the [Rob Braxman Store](https://brax.me/prod/host.php?f=_store&h=rob), where Braxman offers many repurposed DeGoogled phones.

Rob Braxman is good source for learning about DeGoogling phones. He also sells repurposed DeGoogled phones for those who don't feel like figuring out how to do it themselves.

For a while he offered his own DeGoogled phone, the [BraX2 Phone](nostr:nevent1qqsfarkjsshq8pjvpxy52jmagy8q7646mczyemsrc64rtcrfyudp8yqpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp7lvfq4), which shipped new with a DeGoogled OS, but is no longer available.

His current DeGoogled phone offerings are: (as of Aug 2024)

- Pixel 7, 128GB ($685)

- Pixel 6, 128GB ($470)

- Pixel 6a, 128GB ($420)

- Pixel 5, 128GB ($417)

I love Rob's videos... I need to do more of what he says, but I'm too comfortable half-way in and half-way out of the Technocracy... It's really dangerous, the more I think about it... Billions of angry socialists, scouring the internnets, trying to find where their "revenue" went and trying to find that Galt guy... They might mistake me for him! Yikes!

Does anybody want to test this out?

https://github.com/lollerfirst/nutshell/tree/lnmarkets

With this feature, you can mint USD-pegged ecash with your LNMarkets account as a back-end. When a user decides to mint ecash, they will be required to pay a Lightning Network invoice equivalent to the US dollar amount in satoshis.

As for redemption, the user provides a Lightning Network invoice, and the minting system fetches the current exchange rate from LNMarkets' futures ticker. It then calculates the corresponding US dollar ecash value for the payment quote.

Error messages are a bit all over the place. The documentation itself is not very clear about them, either. I will work to improve them.

Is the dollar becoming a derivative?

I like Kdenlive too! Relative paths got me using kdenlive because it reminded me of relative paths in AutoCAD... That was the hook and I was using relative paths to make template projects...
