After installing #GrapheneOS I am again astonished how... ugly... everything looks on Android! Still, in 2024!

Couldn't find a single calendar app that is practical and nice to look at.

Also, I think I am not fully ready to give up Apple Pay again. It's a shame Google Pay doesn't work on GrapheneOS. Using credit cards are less secure and while I do think cash is important, I simply do not want to fully rely on it.

This is actually my second rodeo with GrapheneOS. I Installed it back when the Pixel 6 Pro came out and used that for a year. Switched back to an iPhone in 2022. Damn.

After ~8 months since starting my Golf journey, I am only happy for ~30-40% of my swings. How long until it’s more like 80%?

I already hired a personal trainer and have improved a lot since the beginning, but he says I just have to keep practicing…

I started playing Golf beginning this year. #golfstr

Rate my swing!

I give it a 6.5/10 😁 https://video.nostr.build/d58cc57acccb9744d325b51264b16cda41ea89bdd0d7aefb597003dc59e47ef1.mp4

Anyone have experience with the Tesla app on #GrapheneOS?

Businesses are only disincentived while they are under the boot of the government.

Everyone wants privacy for themselves and transparency for others. Whether they realise it or not, everyone wants what monero offers. Game theory suggests that Bitcoin will adopt privacy rather than perish to something else like monero. I think the need for privacy will become apparent before it's too late for Bitcoin. Bitcoin will adopt privacy while it's still the dominant cryptocurrency and maintain its network effect. However, if the USD is still too strong and Bitcoin becomes captured, monero could grow in dominance in the alternative economy and be the currency to topple the USD.

The other threat is fractional reserve banking. Everyone wants the most secure store of value. Again, game theory suggests that every coin will be fractionally reserved as much as possible, until the risk vs reward balances. Variable block size helps prevent fractional reserves by lessening friction on bankruns. This would require tail emissions and abandoning the 21 million cap, which is not going to happen on Bitcoin.

Honestly it's hard to know so far in advance what the better tradeoffs will be. By the time it becomes apparent it may be too late. That's why I think that variable block size may be the deciding factor in a contest for dominance.

I think Moneros poor performance comes from being pumped initially, and Bitcoins dominance in the discovery of cryptocurrency as a store of value phase. I expect monero to strengthen as the transition to medium of exchange phase takes place.

… so… forever?

How do I react to a reply if it doesn’t show up in the app?

It’s **only in the iOS notification bubble**

No, other people replying to my posts. They show up in notifications but nowhere in-app.

Why the hell would it be security tho?

I feel like I’m not seeing every reply on nostr in nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955

I see them in my notifications but not in the app.

Am I doing something wrong? #asknostr

Just ordered a Pixel 8a #GrapheneOS

I mean... just look at their website! It has hotkeys for actions!

It's so geeky, I love it.
