Yes, in a good organized prison aka Apple things may be working well. If you want freedom then you have to take responsibility yourself and don't complain.
Things may go south and such information may be useful in this situation. Nothing is more annoying than a spinning wheel when the process has long silently died before.
Hm, the country in which a bail-in actually once happened is the least tyrannical? I guess this list is not trustworthy.
An open app store where you discover great apps through your social connections based on nostr. See nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0
High time preference behavior over decades accumulated so much technical debt in the software systems of many banks that there is only one migration strategy left for society: Turn it off without a replacement and switch to Bitcoin.
Do we really need Don Quixote's schwarmerei (excessive enthusiasm) for chivalry in the Bitcoin social layer? The knights followed their own unholy business and if they did so with virtue in their circles doesn't make it just for society.
git ≠ GitHub
Linux kernel development is not using GitHub.
Nostr is to Bitcoin what git is to the Linux kernel. It started as a necessary tool to develop the latter and now it is a thing of its own.
Not only are Github etc. centralized platforms but they also violate the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and do it well. These platforms suffer from feature creep and nowadays they have become issue tracker, continues integration/deployment (CI/CD) platform etc as well. Therefore it is refreshing that there are activities with ngit to combine and connect existing simple tools (git, nostr) to work together seamlessly.
"Perhaps it’s no surprise that Switzerland remained one of the freest countries throughout Covid because of this more localized governance model. There was much less room and tolerance for central government decree" from "Parallel: The Bitcoin Social Layer" by Brian De Mint.
Unfortunately this was not true at the end of the Covid scam. The mandates were centrally planned and applied to all cantons and one could say that the federal system died with Covid. The states in the US have far more freedom in such concerns than the cantons in Switzerland nowadays.
Looks like this https://initiativebtc.ch/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Signatures_FR.pdf
It is a signature sheet to collect signatures (100k required) for a referendum vote in Switzerland.
If passed the Swiss national bank has to add bitcoin to their reserves.
But you learned something for life now. Given that vi has been introduced in 1976 chances are high that it will be still around another 49 years. These memorized keyboard shortcuts are useful forever.
nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 is clearly an improvement over F-Droid and Obtainium by combining a user friendly search for app discovery with the installing of the app from source signed by the developers.
As euphemism has to be considered clownish as well (aka disguise ugly things in nice words) you consequently find some some explicit language in "Bitcoin: The Inverse of Clown World" by nostr:nprofile1qqsf9jl9scw0c5snmkylpfhkppzgd7z7dupul6ms5yl52kfcz9jr8wqagxgle and nostr:nprofile1qqsymrmayr3t54hru0q5w4pfxn6s4pz6j7q60ugsxutajk2ahs0dh8g8n8gqk
Inconsistency in the user interface on GNU/Linux is my daily visual reminder that there is a trade-off between privacy & security versus beauty & convenience.
The progression from "Auctoritas, non veritas facit legem" into "Veritas, non auctoritas facit legem" as mentioned in Cryptosovereignty by Erik Cason is quite a profound idea.
