Anonymous but sincere; Cypherpunk and never knew. Be kind, be patient, seek understanding. Making real connections to people and the world is how we resist. Encrypted chat on White Noise. [Insert warrant canary text here]

And, the Church Committee was totally black-holed from the nation's memory.

Vigilance is the price. Teach your children well.

I'm hoping the evidence will be so overwhelming and widespread that there will be something that resonates on an individual level with a good amount of people.

COVID lockdowns, censorship, and propaganda did something similar and opened a lot of people's eyes.

This exposure is the next step.

It is a forever battle, but don't underestimate momentum.

Expose it all. I don't care who it blows back on. Left or right, who cares.

Everyone in the world needs to know the vast fuckery the US gov't (I'm sure others) has been up to. All the lies, manipulation, media propoganda, BS spending, coups; everything.

I don't have confidence those responsible will go to jail. But, if everyday people are forced to see how they have been manipulated and used and start questioning everything, it's worth it.

This is the reset we needed.

USAID, today. Great! What's on the chopping block for tomorrow?

And, if they're exporting it around the world, I don't think they could possibly be responsible for its popular explosion in the US...

StartOS documentation is pretty good and they have great customer support.

Let us know how it goes. I'm starting this journey, as well.

OOF, this one hits a little close to home.

NordVPN is working on a new protocol, NordWhisper, that works over networks that block traditional VPN traffic.

So, I might be able to use Nostr over work wifi and posts will actually load! The building is basically a giant Faraday cage. Maybe less captchas, too?

And, dissidents will have free expression or something πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

And everybody laughs. Almost like humor isn't serious.

Everyone in that room would probably throw him under the bus to save their own butts, these days. Or HR would just can him with cause.

Especially, since he doesn't tow the leftist line.

Looks like Robby Starbuck is making a big impact on dismantling corporate DEI just by exposing their policies to the public.

Walmart, Target, Meta, Harley... πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

At some point, I made the decision that "influencer" accounts were a no go. They are more than likely a fake account. If they are real, they don't contribute in any meaningful way, just cheerleaders making an easy dollar being pretty.

Being "influenced" is just marketing propaganda, anyways.

What do you think is the long-term harm, though?

From my experience, people come to Nostr because they want real social engagement with people they have something in common with. Nostr is generally a very friendly and welcoming space where people help each other and let their guard down a bit so they can be themselves and have a laugh.

Yeah, pretty convincing fake accounts will take advantage of that. Fake female accounts will get a bunch of zaps, for a bit. But, unless they are pulling some big scam - I'm not aware of any - the damage is minimal. Sooner or later they will be found out. Sincerity is hard to fake for an extended period of time.

I have gut feelings about accounts, but generally I give them the benefit of the doubt until the evidence becomes clear. When it does, I don't get mad at myslf or anyone else for not seeing it earlier.

I don't know if we can keep what we love about Nostr alive, if we treat new accounts with open suspicion and are all on guard making it hard to be welcoming.

That being said, we do need to watch out for each other. Call it like you see it. I think, luckily, the small technology barrier with Nostr onboarding works in our favor as a filter in this regard.

Looks like he didn't show proper deference to the Bitcoin gods and the idolaters came out with their pitchforks and torches.

Can you buy BTC on-chain in RoboSats? I've only been reseaching it, but I thought it was Lightning only.

I've been wanting to try something similar, but I keep getting a little hung up.

Strike requires a cell phone number. And, adding funds to your balance requires a linked bank account or debit card. All pretty KYC.

Are you spoofing a phone number?

Can you use prepaid debit cards (paid with cash) to fund your Strike balance?

Are you confident in the privacy from Lightning to on-chain without a mixer?

To defend the Evangelical, I've heard John MacArthur explain his philosophy. That the pusuit of God should be an intellectual one. That fancy buildings, stained glass, and grand music are an emotional appeal that distract from that mindful pursuit.

I tend to agree. I also think that churches should be pretty practical. That their money is better spent helping the needy.
