Once you understand that the aether exists, then yes, the 'speed of light' is merely the rate of induction of this medium. That is why this perceived speed will vary depending on the medium it is 'moving' through.

As Tesla said, light is a sound wave in the aether, or an aether perturbation (disturbance) modality. It is the excitation of the medium where magnetism and dielectricity intersect.

That would suggest that I am relying solely on Occam's razor in order to draw the conclusion, but of course there is far more than that to support the former idea. I was simply using Occam's razor as a means to have people start to think about the silly ideas placed inside their heads.

You can't explain it by something material, or if you can, I would love to hear it. We only perceive a fraction of what exists because our temporary bodies have a limited number of senses that can interpret and interact with this reality.

It's all about drawing logical conclusions based on multiple sets of evidences and observations.

Spake is fake, light doesn't travel, the big bang is ridiculous, no one could explain how the "aliens" would get here within the current understanding of 'science' without violating some fundamental laws. Modern astrophysicists rely on mathematical models to fill in the gaps of their shoddy science, like virtual photons.

There is zero evidence of anything resembling intelligent life that doesn't reside on Earth. If anything, the burden of proof lies on those proposing this (misleading) hypothesis in the first place.

nice thing about notedeck is that you can leave it open for days on your desktop and let it collect notes. This is where local algos really shine: it can summarize interesting things you’ve missed since you last scrolled. all done locally without needing external providers like dvms or custom relays.

When I come back to notedeck I see that the spot I was last at was 14 hours ago, there are thousands of notes above that. I would love a local algo to highlight new notes I might find interesting in that set.

This is 100% true in my experience and also why I’m often a silly goose myself🪿helps weed out people who are overly concerned with prestige or status.

Voluntarism vs Statism

The people might voluntarily support a philosopher king like Liechtenstein or hopefully El Salvador.

The original design of the United States gave veto power to any single State on all federal laws.

Otherwise Liberty will be found only in the sovereign individual thesis.

Thoughts ???

did not know that, thank you. so i dont need an extra container app?

If you turn on airplane mode it disables the cellular modem, also if the modem is compromised it can't affect the OS because it's isolated via IOMMU. The only thing a compromised modem could do is ignore airplane mode commands.

What phone do you recommend?

This is why my Phone is Graphene OS, I use VPN, and my computer is linux based.

Yeah, I use a non contract carrier but I know it still goes through Verizon towers.

we can't get inbound connections, so that part will be naturally less distributed but proxy-only network routing services with subdomains would be a thing

it's something i've been thinking about doing as a side gig, just need to set up payment rails and advertising, probably running a relay with paid write privileges alongside it would be a good vehicle for marketing it (by adding this small text to people's subscription DM messages about the service)

Small online communities > online discussion squares

This could be the reason for toxic discussions about topics where it’s almost impossible for all to find common ground. Why not rather concentrating on people and solutions you feel good with?

X is the perfect definition of that townsquare where everyone shouts their opinion to everyone else instead of working on solutions in their everyday life with their fellows. People on X may feel like they can’t to anything but that, but that’s simply wrong.

There will be a moment where nostr will be huge, it may start to feel like a townsquare. Simply because of the big amount of people, impossible to listen and to understand everyone.

What do you feel?

Good. I can be friends with you 🫡🔥
