Got talking to my mechanic's wife here in commie eu land.

Their accountant just came back with a shit ton more tax to pay. They can't raise prices and even if they did they'd just be pushed into higher taxes. They're doing some cash on the side but it's not enough. It's a family business with three of their sons. They're highly skilled mechanics with a long-standing reputation but they're completely and utterly broken.

It's not just them. They're seeing similar businesses closing around them. Established and successful but they can't keep up with the tax burden and inflation.

This is what governments are doing to the productive class. Anything smaller than Amazon is ground into the dirt.

Have no doubt, these are drastic times.

You don’t know what you were referring to when you said hits hard?

Snort name is too weird for some

Imagine thinking a pendant can protect your blood-brain-barrier from those Airpods

Vulture capitalism’s one hell of a salesman

The more I work on building some kind of functional outbox model for noStrudel the more I'm convinced local relays are the way to go. something that runs on your computer and does the hard work of fetching the latest events for you, then makes them accessible to all other nostr apps

And for those who will ask, my goal with adding outbox support to noStrudel is so I can finally get rid of the hard coded relays and to use it as a way to learn what works and what doesn't work

Did #Bitcoin fall apart yet?

Wow. Most AI agents already refuse to discuss "controversial" topics. They just state I can't discuss that. Absolute censorship is almost here 😬

Kaspa fixes this.

FIRE is cringe.

This is demonstrably wrong. Ethereum, for example, had a 70% pre-mine that went into the pockets of the very few. That's the opposite of neutral and incredibly immoral.

This dude is not Flash 😅

I ain’t even mad 😂

The lack of cheese is alarming. I've been so conditioned on the cheeseburger that any burger without a slice looks naked

Eventually, but we are now seeing the slow evolution of Tether into a mini central bank

I haven't Googled anything in 10 years.

I have installed and run GrapheneOS on a few Pixel phones in my family ... including my kids and in-laws and their kids.

It's very telling that spammers are using block space. Bitcoin is a scam. A pyramid scheme.

Why not just staying on core v28/29? Why the need for a sudden change?

What is this?

I prefer pastasciutta al pomodoro, but I like the spirit.

Why not?
