Strolling down the market and it’s the fifth person to say my baby is the cutest in the world.
It must therefore be true.

Introducing Following._ — a simple way to create and share follow packs on Nostr!
Finding interesting people to follow has always been one of the biggest challenges for new users on Nostr. Even experienced users often struggle to discover new communities and voices.
Following._ makes it easy to curate lists of users and share them with anyone on the web. Whether you're helping newcomers get started or building a niche community, Following._ allows you to grow connections on Nostr.
You can create your own follow pack in minutes and share it anywhere. Here’s an example:
https://following.space/d/d27a91a4-6155-4089-b4de-377e24dde08d
I spent months complaining that someone should build this... and eventually realized that someone had to be me. So here we are.
I also leaned heavily on AI during the process — it’s never been easier (or more fun) to create apps for open platforms like Nostr. If you have an idea, you really can just build it. No gatekeepers, no permission needed. Just ship it.
Peace

Could you add a “follow” button next to each profiles in the lists.
So many new follows !
Every now and then in a relationship, you get reminded that your wife isn’t the same thing as a friend. Like when you get a little too honest with her new hairstyle
If you are thinking of skipping the gym and it’s leg day, ask yourself “would I go if it was chest day?”
If the answer is yes, you are a pussy.

The EU is taping over the widening cracks with increasingly authoritarian measures. Two-tier justice and censorship in the UK, inegibility for Marine le Pen in France, upcoming ban on the AfD in Germany, cancelled elections in Romania.
All parties proning the return of national sovereignty and the end of mass third word immigration are crushed when they start to rival the establishment.
It is hard to imagine a desirable outcome at the end of this rope.

I have visited nostr:nprofile1qqsdc47glaz2z599a7utq9gk2xyf6z70t7ddyryrnweyt32z4sdarfspr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6am0wfkxgtngxdazu6ns9uq3xamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7tpvfkx2tn0wfnsh2ywm7 twice looking forward to spend some sats. What stopped me what simply Opsec. All of the Bitcoin merchants simply didn’t proactively offer to settle in bitcoin or have a “tap-on” screen option to switch to bitcoin.
Brazil is already a country where you need to be “street-wise” and I don’t want to be the gringo asking out loud “can I pay in bitcoin?”.
Regarding the outlook of adoption of this proposal, this is an idea that the Senate has already attempted to impose three times in less than two years.
The current government are reluctant, preferring the creation of a new European savings product to build a European market to finance major projects related to climate transition, AI, and Defense.
Additionally, this seems to be an overwhelmingly unpopular measure for the French, of which 54% are opposed to using their savings to finance national defense and only 29% in favour, according to polls.
Going back to the law that was voted on by the Senate, the proposal seeks to expand the list of sectors that can be financed by these accounts to include the defense sector. The proposal is pending further approval by the National Assembly.
It does not mean, the government will seize private savings to finance the war.
How it works: 40% of the funds deposited in these accounts are managed by banks on financial markets to remunerate savers, and the remaining 60% are invested by the state in public interest projects to offer long-term loans at preferential rates.
Typically, Livret A savings go towards social housing and urban renewal (hospitals, public transport, universities), while those of the LDDS finance the energy transition.
The Senate voted on Tuesday March 5, 2024 for a bill aimed at mobilising part of people’s state savings accounts towards companies in the defense industry.

For context, France historically mobilises savings for various social and environmental projects through state savings accounts such as the “Livret A” and the “sustainable and solidarity account (LDDS)”.
These are regulated by the State, which determines their operation, interest rate, and ceiling. Interests on these are exempt from income tax and social security contributions.
In 2024, according to the Banque de France, more than 80% of the population have such savings accounts, amounting to roughly €570 billion.

France’s 🇫🇷 government is not seizing its citizens savings to finance its rearmament.
This is what they mean by “mobilizing” private funds (🪡 🧵)

Bodybuilding tip to build mind muscle connection:
Do exercises that focus on deep stretch and squeeze with lighter load on days that a muscle is still slightly sore (like seated chest flies a day or two after a heavy bench day).
The soreness will make you feel the squeeze so much lot more.
Before becoming a dad, I have heard the phrase « you will only learn what love is once you have a child » several times.
One month in, and I would like to edit « love » by « patience ».

Discussing #bitcoin with Rupert Lowe, Reform MP. Rupert was very open to the idea and discussing it within the Reform Party.
We also got onto the subject of Ripple/XRP.

I have added your relay into my list of relays (settings -> network -> add a relay). I am unsure how to proceed to use Vertex (I am clueless when it comes to coding). I am using Primal on iOS.
