a logic posit at the automatic junction

I wonder this myself. I think there are some private relays that try to focus activity or discussion.

alright let’s try a different tack then. Venezuela was a petrostate financed by burning fossil fuels. If as you say the removal from Venezuelan oil from the market resulted in declining birth rates in Venezuela we have the crux of your disagreement.

If you think pumping excess carbon out of the ground is necessary for humanity to prosper and multiply then this is your view.

If women working say installing solar panels or wind mills alongside men to try to come to a sustainable balance then that is another aspect to your opinion.

Mothers have an innate insight into the resources required for raising children that far surpasses that of men. This point your trad view should acknowledge.

Feminism and climate change research are two fields that give voice to that insight and find ways to extrapolate resources available to the global atmosphere. Having that knowledge may decrease birth rates in the near term yet perhaps there is a means to manage a transition to a more sustainable future?

Pump more oil, make more babies does not seem to have much innovative thought towards the future.

the best part is you don’t have to spend all your time fighting either

the margins are correct once I click the post so thread view seems to be ok

sorry didn’t know about recent developments since just getting back here but I have updated the app after the TestFlight expired and kicked me to the regular release

also haven’t reset up my proper relay so replies do disappear - could use a bit more caching, I think but I don’t know how the experience is for subscribers and what your plans are

read an article recently that an unintended side effect of Wall Street Bets was the financing of the building out of an EV supply chain to rival ICE automakers which wouldn’t have happened so fast otherwise

there’s protest but then there’s also next level disruption

he rationalizes it this way in this interview using the Bible app as an example but also ignores all the religious people that don’t believe that using an app is a religious experience — hooked is the mantra that apps can be gateways to religious experience the subtext being divorced from reality — hence why this contradiction can exist for him

Despite what many VPN providers advertise VPNs are useless (at best ineffective) at:

Achieving anonymity.

Preventing Google or Facebook from collecting your private data.

Preventing unwanted profiling by social networks or search engines.

Providing better security when ‘working from home’.

Protecting your passwords.

Hiding your mobile phone location (GPS).

Helping you avoid data breaches on services you use online.

Defending against “cyber threats” and identity theft.

Do not rely on a VPN to protect you in any of the above scenarios.

However, a trustworthy VPN can be very effective at:

Encrypting your data so your ISP or mobile network provider cannot monitor or log your online activity. Without a VPN, HTTPS still exposes the domain name or IP address you are visiting to the ISP.

Encrypting your DNS requests so your ISP or mobile network provider cannot monitor or log the domains you visit.

Increasing your security on untrusted public networks by preventing MITM attacks.

Masking your IP address from websites and servers you connect to.

Circumventing censorship or geographical blocks on websites and content.

When we interviewed users on Nostr or those considering using it, we heard a few key points. Many praised Nostr for being amazing, friendly, and innovative but felt the platform was dominated by discussions about Bitcoin. While people enjoyed features like lightning and zaps—even those who hadn’t thought much about payments or cryptocurrencies—there was a strong desire for more diverse content. They didn’t want less Bitcoin content; they just wanted more variety. After all, Nostr stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.

We also heard from creators and journalists frustrated with centralized social media platforms. They found the algorithms opaque and felt pressured to create content that served advertising models, resulting in a constant chase for viral hits. The money they earned from platform advertising was minimal. Some creators have already found success on Nostr, benefiting from direct payments from their audience or through subscription content.

So, how do we bring more diverse content to Nostr? We search for people, get them on board, promote them on the protocol, and figure out what they need to be successful.

To that end, we’ve launched a program for creators and journalists on Nostr. Over the past two months, we’ve been onboarding new people and publications, setting them up with multiple Nostr apps and a wallet. We’ve spent hours with each of them, learning about their needs and teaching them about Nostr. We’ve also reached out to the Nostr community and app developers to help promote these new members.

Our plan is to continue onboarding new folks, welcoming a new cohort of creators and journalists each week. Instead of relying on algorithms to promote them, we’re using the power of humans—the Nostr community. Twitter originally grew this way with its ‘Follow Friday’ initiative, where people shared curated lists of new accounts to follow. It was entirely grassroots, with people helping each other discover new and interesting content.

Thanks to everybody who put this together! So much work has gone in to finding and onboarding these folks and it’s exciting.

I want to call out thanks to npub1j60x528w2g2vkq5kae5uhh8y7sezjyj20zcsg0v9muc72cmdpu0s0md7ua who spearheaded this project, npub1uaajg6r8hfgh9c3vpzm2m5w8mcgynh5e0tf0um4q5dfpx8u6p6dqmj87z6 who did the design, npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 , npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34 , npub138he9w0tumwpun4rnrmywlez06259938kz3nmjymvs8px7e9d0js8lrdr2 , and npub1k2dmnr47ejn6uw5x5q4tdnexpwhv7zvde4zja789l8z5nh7qurhsvwv5hn who did development, and npub1lur3ft9rk43fmjd2skwefz0jxlhfj0nyz3zjfkxwe3y8xlf5r6nquat0xg who make sure the lights stayed on.

Amazing work !

Coincidentally a recent Supreme Court ruling affirms that the appropriations clause is consistent with the funding of the FDIC via bank fees.

The article points to one leadership deficit being a failure at readjusting by the agency to evolving monetary exchange mechanism.
