So it begins…
let’s hear the best arguments for not activating
Marginally. Your average independently wealthy person is not an independent thinker.
It is not the state, it is human social behavior. This is not because I love governments or something, I simply don’t buy this premise.
You said it yourself, “lose their standing in the community”. That doesn’t change just because the funding source changes.
Anyone have advice on establishing relay connections using python-nostr?
I’ve got #[0] running with basic functionality, but I don’t think it’s publishing to every relay in the script.
I get a WebSocketConnectionClosedExcption: Connection is already closed error. Not sure if that’s because the relays are rejecting my connection or if the connection times out before the publish() executes.
don’t get medical advice from youtube, or any social media platform where views = money
for elites maybe, but for the masses they will try to force the use of surveillance tools they control
It's healthy for Nostriches to continue to talk about our other interests, as part of me #grownostr personal series, I've talked about outdoor activities and beer. For today's chat, we'll talk about video games.

I found computer games in the mid-1900's and never looked back. I stopped playing console games immediately. Back in the 90's Quake and StarCraft were my original gaming obsessions. I still remember the IP address of my old Quake server 😆
Fast forward a few years and I spent a lot of time playing Team Fortress Classic and BF2.
And then, my fiance did something silly. She bought me a game she heard me mention a few times called World of Warcraft. I played that game a lot. I mean a lot. Way too much. The addiction was real. That game has so many mini-games to do inside it from farming materials, to gaming money in the auction house, to hardcore raiding, to achievements and so much more. From 2006 to 2018, I played WoW. I quit for a couple years at a time when my kids were born.
Eventually, I got back to my roots and started playing a first person shooter again in 2017. I became obsessed with Overwatch and played it non-stop for a few years in the evenings after the kids went to bed. I played in and organized several e-sports teams and leagues. This was a lot of fun. The past couple of years though, I didn't play as much as I was focusing my free time on other things such as Bitcoin.
I played Overwatch 2 for a couple months when it came out last fall, but stopped in December when I found my latest obsession, Nostr.
I went to BlizzCon in 2019. It was fun, definitely an experience. I would never go again though.
Some gamers will play dozens of titles, constantly switching back and forth. Not me. I find one I like, obsess with it, and strive to become the best damned player there is for that game. I'm really competitive 😆
I don't see myself getting back into gaming at this time. I like to talk about the fond memories I had over the years, but at this time, I'd father focus my free time on other aspects of my life.
I’m also a long time Blizzard fan. Spent a lot of time playing Warcraft 3 and the custom games. My friends and I played Heroes of the Storm for a good 6 years.
I am cautiously optimistic about Diablo 4

I think mute and block worked the same way, so now only mute is an option
