"Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it." —Motto of Ludwig von Mises

The Pinephone has a hardware switch to cut power to the modem. The Librem 5 has the same, however the modem can also be removed. These are the closest that I am aware of today.

Combining zaps with reactions could be interesting. I think someone mentioned this before.

I have read that PWAs are the solution to centrally controlled application markets prohibiting features. I don't think it's a winning strategy. I think hardware devices that are supportive of #bitcoin and #nostr applications will win.

Thinking about moving websites, ecommerce, blogs and etc to be all on #nostr later this year. It should be fun.

Banks have, in essence, prohibited savings.

Bankers made the regulations to push out competition mostly starting in 1913.

The story of the monopoly in banking in the U.S. repeats in many other industries.

From reading Principles of Economics (2023), I don't think buying gold would be an investment either and would also be savings.

For electronics that already have batteries and do not use that much, solar is an okay option.

With the cost and low efficiency and batteries, it's not that great of an off-grid option. Perhaps that will improve with better ways to store that energy.

I just realized that the rotating icon that appears over the home button in #amethyst is to manually rotate the app, if auto-rorate is off. I thought it was some sort of rotating loading icon... huh.
