I have been running it for 3 years now and it works quite well for me. I know also non technically minded people using it. The only big difference with stock Android is that you have more control over permissions.
If it was not a Mac I could agree with you 😁.
Jokes aside kudos for your efforts brother, you are doing the lord's work.
The video shows the world's population being held hostage by the centralized media and irresponsible politicians. Today one can only shake one's head at the frightening consequences of media manipulation...🤯
Hopefully these images will never come back 🦾💜

We can only be proud and happy that we managed to resist this evil.
And thank Putin for stopping the Covid 19 project.
On my first day of kindergarden I was brought to the nuns. They told me they would play a story about the angels on the projector and after that red hood. I told them "ok, I am going to play outside. When the story about the angels finishes call me please." They tried to force me to see it and I refused, so they put me in a corner for the rest of the morning. I have always been a pirate since then 🏴☠️ 🧭
### #Amethyst v0.73.1-alpha: New Private Message & Small Groups Protocol
This is an **alpha** release of the new GiftWrapped DMs. Please do not consider anything to be actually private until we have a **stable** version. This is early and there might be bugs that leak information.
You can activate this mode by clicking on the Incognito icon on the Chat screen. For now, only Amethyst supports this NIP. Thus we recommend only testing with other Amethyst users. Coracle and 0xChat are finishing their implementations in the upcoming days/weeks.
The claims of this new method are:
- Messages are encrypted with a superior XChaCha algorithm to each participant's public key individually.
- Chat participant identities, each message's real date and time, event kinds, and other tags are all hidden from the public.
- Senders and receivers cannot be linked with public information alone.
- Minimal trust in counterparties: Counterparties cannot expose verifiable details of your message, including the metadata, without exposing their entire user and all of their other messages (private key)
- There is no central queue, channel or otherwise converging event id to link or count all messages in the same group.
- There is no moderation role (i.e. no group admins, no invitations or bans)
- There is no chatroom secret that can leak or be mistakenly shared
- Messages can be fully recoverable in any client (that implements NIP-24) with the receiver or the sender's private key
- The protocol's messages can flow through public relays without loss of privacy. Private relays can increase privacy further, but they are not needed.
- The protocol is extensible to make any other event kind fully private (private likes, private reports, private long-form content, etc)
This implementation is very similar to how Slack manages direct DMs to multiple users. If three users are having a conversation and want to add a fourth person, the forth's user will not see the past. This guarantees maximum privacy: only the receivers of a message at the time of writing will ever be able to decrypt it.
In the near future, we will implement Forward Secrecy through:
- Users will be able to opt-in for "Disappearing Messages" that are not recoverable with their private key
- Users will be able to also opt-in to sharing messages with a new key exclusive for DM backup and recovery.
Details:
- Support for NIP-24 Private Messages and Small Groups
- Support for NIP-59 Gift Wraps & Seals
- Support for NIP-44 Versioned Encrypted Payloads
- Support for XChaCha encryption algorithm
- Fix: Loading of Alby's NWC URI
- Fix: Only requests notification permission once.
- Fix: Show reposts and reactions in search
- Fix: Signed byte used for array slice inside the TLV by nostr:npub1xpuz4qerklyck9evtg40wgrthq5rce2mumwuuygnxcg6q02lz9ms275ams
- Fix: Global feed only shows events from Global-active relays by nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h
- Updates Dutch translations by nostr:npub1w4la29u3zv09r6crx5u8yxax0ffxgekzdm2egzjkjckef7xc83fs0ftxcd

Agreed, these type of people are needed to make a very loud point. If I did something like that I would have to fight the security guard and probably get in trouble, old man + man on a wheelchair is definitely looking non aggressive so they walk away.
Legal tender is about a currency being valid and sufficient for the payment of **debts**. It does not apply to spot exchange.
There is no economic, ethical, or legal justification for what he did. He stole strawberries and left an ungratuitous gift in stead. Asshole move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whwyo5Vi4RA
If the merchant doesn't want dirty coins, then so be it.
The point you are trying to make is the actual issue here. This system is total bullshit. Mandating a currency on people and then leaving elderly who saved in cash unable to adapt is theft. What are they going to do with those shitty (nearly worthless individually) small coins that many of us hate?
Moreover the disgusting paradox is that supermarkets like Tesco price things 1.99 and if you give them 2 pounds they either steal the penny or at best dump on you that worthless crap of 1 penny coins so that in a few years they will refuse to accept it when you try to pay with it.
We know that the central bank considers legal tender a currency that has to be accepted for repayment of debts but the point is exactly this here, why do we have to accept anything that a government tries to impose when the currency they will offer and try to mandate on us is not going to be efficient for us when we will buy a pack of strawberries?

How do you like the Merrian Webster definition of legal tender?
Amazing, great project. I wish them to expand far beying Lugano. This is the way to make Bitcoin widespread.
Last month we moved near Lugano. Still shaky hands paying in McDonalds with #bitcoin. Thank you nostr:npub1ft69mv46akgwumcxn873948ht0jvhh89c2z95pptfhqyf26g4wnqkatx3v

Do they sell only junk food for Bitcoin in Lugano? Or is Bitcoin widely adopted?
No, but that is a very cool idea. There is the problem of fraud though.
I am neutral towards this :)
In Netherlands they refused the 100 euro note in a supermarket for fear of taking fake notes, they do not even bother to use a system to spot counterfeit.
This system is completely fucked, what is the sense of having central banks print notes and then having people not accepting them because of fear of counterfeating.
Italians hardly understand banking apps 😂
Moreover cashiers cannot count anymore...
Many in UK. But also in other countries. I think I have seen one in Prague as well. The owners do not want to deal with the complications of dealing with security with cash.
