Go to CVS and buy a prepaid sim card with cash

I have very little sympathy for someone who loses their job to cheaper technology. They now have an opportunity to find a better job, and have funds that can be used to either relocate or retrain. It is a shame its government funded and run but you play with cards your dealt. If they don't like the cards in this country they can look at other countries. Its probably simpler to just relocate and/or retrain.

The real problem with California is that it is much easier to just milk your unemployment insurance as long as you can and just get on welfare and squat. That's why I truly believe unemployed people in California that want to work should look outside California. Or maybe just relocate within California. People lose jobs and have to relocate everyday

Unemployment insurance is exactly that—insurance. I have worked for these offices in a contract role, and it operates like a not-for-profit business. While the losses are picked up by the taxpayers, employers are forced to pay premiums for all of their employees if they are of a certain size. This used to be a choice. When you got a job, the benefit package could include unemployment insurance with a specific provider, or if the employer didn’t offer it, you could choose to pay for it yourself.

The issue arose when those private insurance companies would go bust after government policies led to mass layoffs, like the current situation in California, and people wouldn't get paid. As a result, the government formed a monopoly to "protect" the people from the "greedy" insurance companies.

My advice to unemployed Californians who want to work is to look outside of California for job opportunities. Leaving would reduce the strain on the welfare system and the state unemployment office. People caravan from El Salvador to the U.S. border for jobs. The guy at Taco Bell can buy a bus ticket to Jackson, Mississippi. Maybe they need someone to man the registers at those Taco Bells.

Anything is better than falling into the welfare trap because, statistically, it's very hard to get out of it once you're in. Moreover, the more people that fall into it, the less effective it becomes and the greater the strain it puts on the already incompetent system.

Unemployment insurance is not welfare. Your employer pays premiums on the policy. If the government didn't have a monopoly on the industry there would be a lot more options available for consumers to choose from.

If one goes through the unemployment process and does not succeed in finding a job they can then potentially fall in to the welfare trap and become a product of the state or leave and find a job outside of California. Somewhere potentially more affordable where they might be even more comfortable.

Let us not also forget about all of the private charities and crowd funding sites out there designed specifically to help people down on their luck

Sounds like they should probably leave California to find a job

Now they can collect their unemployment insurance and go through the process of finding new jobs. Potentially better jobs. If I'm not mistaken California has very generous unemployment policies

It will likely become standard in privacy focussed clients

This is going to be in high demand one day

My grandparents rode on that thing like 20 times. My grandfather still never shuts up about it. Said nothing has ever compared to that experience. Not even private.

I get what you’re saying about relays just passing data through, not storing it. But as a relay host, I still worry about what goes through my relay. If something bad happens, I’m the one who could get in trouble.

The idea of having notes that disappear if you miss them sounds interesting. It might make things easier for relay hosts. But we’d need to make sure it’s doable and doesn’t mess with the way Nostr works.

We also need to find a balance between keeping things safe and making sure it’s still easy to use. Full encryption can help protect relay hosts, but it can also make things more complicated.

At the end of the day, we need to make sure relay hosts aren’t unfairly burdened. We need a solution that works for everyone and keeps Nostr true to its principles.

They also want good data. They don't want to waste space on spam and "misinformation" that makes its AI confused on who won the election and if glue and rocks and nutritious foods for one to consume

If someone forces you to censor your relay, that's a tough spot. Remember when Elon faced a similar situation with Turkey? He had to choose between censoring Twitter or having it blocked completely. It's a difficult balance, but in the end, we have to weigh the consequences and decide what’s best for the platform and its users

Very true. And anyone can have any kind of experience they choose.

But if you own a computer you are responsible for all data on that machine.

I would guess most #nostr relays are hosted on AWS servers. That would mean they would have to follow their terms of agreement and ethical guidelines. All of which were established by local and federal laws as well as market demand

That could happen one day. Who knows? My mother taught me talking about money is tacky

#Nostr gives everyone a choice. That's what is so pure about it.

They have choices

You simply use #bitcoin and buy a republican check mark on #nostr

It I host a relay I should just allow anything and everything on it? What if I don't like Republicans and don't want them on my relay. I should just let them? Why not transfer the burden of storing that data on to someone else? let them eat the costs?

It really feels like you believe relay hosts should have zero power. Relays are not free you know.

"Reporting is censorship." Pretty clear 👌
