Many thanks to Bert for shipping me a Jade despite some challenges. Shipping to Italy sucks.

I am in full support of NIP-62
THE RIGHT TO VANISH
"This NIP offers a Nostr-native way to request a complete reset of a key's fingerprint on the web. In some jurisdictions, this is a legally binding procedure and thus supporters of this NIP MUST trully delete events from their database."

I support this as well, despite no guarantees on compliance obviously, a mechanism like this should exist.
Man the Blockstream Jade is absolutely tiny! It's so compact that videos don't do it justice.
You don't need to be very brave to smuggle this into certain places ππ«‘
27.1 is already installed:

Last build is 2 months ago to 27.1: https://flathub.org/apps/org.bitcoincore.bitcoin-qt
Why is am I getting an update today...?

Odd behavior with the bitcoin-core flatpak from flathub - I don't see any new updates or changes to the packaging github.
Version 27.1 currently installed. And yet, today I see that there is a <30 MB update available.. to 27.1 with no possibility to see what changed or what it contains.
Huh?
obviously a lot of people in this space dislike state encroachment and prefer smaller governments, but that isn't reality and will not be your reality in Europe.
Opinion from a Non-EU observer:
You know, people shit on the EU a lot due to a lot of their regulations sounding (and well, being) a bit dystopian. But if you look into it without preconceptions, the regulations make sense a lot of the time **as long as** EU institutions are democratically run and reflect the will of the people.
So the solution is simple, be more active in EU elections and EU institutions, make sure you're actively participating and don't just disregard them in favor of local elections. If more EU citizens actually understood the importance and took them as seriously as national elections, the system would work a lot better.
You can't opt out, you're simply silencing yourself.
Please note: we do NOT control the domain simplexchat.org
It might be a phishing site to collect the data (it has an exact copy of our website https://simplex.chat).
We submitted the complaint to the domain registrar (GNAME).
Do NOT download anything from simplexchat.org, obviously.
very odd, their downloads simply point to the github π€
perhaps an (unauthorized) good samaritan? suspicious nonetheless.
using nostr private keys to custody bitcoin is probably the most reckless thing you can possible do knowing how people treat their private keys
without safe secs keep the nsec away from your corn
OMAD + ADF is honestly the best lifehack
I spend less time craving food, less money on food, and it is pretty much impossible to pass my calorie limit

I moved most funds through swaps to Liquid. All leftovers with high ppm paths to the swap service back to onchain after closing channels.

The least companies can do is block access to settlers in illegally occupied territories, but that is difficult to do without blocking Palestinians.
Tried stamping your note and it worked, took a while to confirm but the app didn't crash.
It's regionally dependant. 30C in Qatar is pleasant spring weather. In some European regions it's a risk of death for the elderly. If you're not used to weather extremes / acclimated (hot or cold) you're vulnerable. Construction designed to hold heat and deal with harsh winters adds to this and turns homes into ovens + lack of air-conditioning.
Learn to communicate respectfully, grumpy old man.
