Another thing I used to believe, but now realize isn't true, is the origin of the expression "to go south," meaning that something is going wrong or failing. For many years, I thought it was related to the American South or the Global South (often associated with poorer countries). So, every time I heard that expression, I thought it was a really cruel way to convey that meaning.

For a non-American like me, it's crazy that 911 is still the default emergency number in the country. For many years, I also thought that these things were somehow related.

But ads, paid reposts, paid mention to subject/topic etc etc can be done that way

Because it's all JSON (please correct me), we can create a list of validators for matching value in specific paths of the event JSON. Operations like "Contains", "Equals" etc can be used... Okay, it's looking like a smart contact, so maybe I should stop right here.

I was thinking about this. Actually, would be even more interesting the generic case: we can pay a user to publish and sign any arbitrary event 🤣

Inacreditável! Que nostalgia. Espero que eles implementem bem a parte de comunidades.

Who won the debate?

(I'm not asking for your opinion on who is better. Politicians are all a piece of shit in general. I just want to know which of them is likely to see a more positive shift in votes.)

Applauses for this guy. Native onion relays are a next level cypherpunk move.

Nevermind, I just saw your precious post.

Cannot read the PR right now.. What that does? Route everything all Amethyst traffic through Tor without orbit or other apps?

We need real human connection on the internet, but if I upload a picture of my face on Nostr, that picture could be available to everyone, forever, across multiple relays. Because of that, I'm always extremely selective about what I post here. That hesitation creates a negative incentive to share at all. You might argue that this applies to every social network, but their more closed nature makes data harvesting much harder. Plus, when you update your picture, you can trust that your old one will no longer be visible. The consequences feel smaller—at least psychologically.

When I see stuff like this, I start to think that Nostr only works for avatars/ anonymous profiles. Sharing personal stuff here seems too risky.

I see some privacy issues here. Someone might start giving more value on their privacy and change the picture to something more low-profile. Respecting the user's decision is a better choice in this case imo.

Is there any nip or proposal for boosting notes by paying relays to prioritize your posts? CC:

For those interested in Brazil: our Supreme Court (yes, the same one led by Alexandre de Moraes) has decided to end banking secrecy in the country. Now, the government can access any banking data they want without a court order. It's really sad what Brazil has become.

Não faça essa associação dela com aquele vagabundo

Fuck it, we need a pixel perfect TikTok clone on Nostr to maximize cheap dopamine addiction.

É muito fácil se manter calmo e racional quando não estão tentando esmagar você e sua família. E também é muito mais fácil estar tranquilo quando se tem um patrimônio gigantesco em Bitcoin (palmas para as escolhas acertadas do Renato!).

O Allan foi o cara que ficou três anos sem ver a família, teve suas fontes de renda tomadas, foi caçado de toda forma, sofreu processo de deportação e venceu.

Ele errou ao perder a temperança naquele momento, mas é inequívoco que ele continua sendo a pessoa naquela mesa que mais sacrificou e demonstrou coragem para enfrentar o regime.

Ainda que comprar Bitcoin e fazer

"opt-out" do sistema fiat seja SIM a forma mais eficaz de combater o sistema, isso, no presente momento, representa pouca ou quase nenhuma preocupação para esse mesmo sistema (sorte a nossa!). Prova disso é que o Renato não foi preso uma vez sequer, não teve redes sociais banidas, não foi citado pelo Alexandre de Morais ( mesmo tendo passado por todos os grandes podcasts brasileiros). Ou seja, do ponto do sistema, o Renato é uma figura absolutamente inofensiva (estão errados!). Suspeito até que ele tem simpatia de alguns desses crápulas na medida em que ele aponta as contradições do bolsonarismo.

Não estou desmerecendo o Renato de forma alguma. Acredito que ele tem razão na parte das vezes.

Continuo admirando e seguindo os dois.

Não. Mas é um front muito importante pra se perder por W.O.

Entendi. A minha VPN é paga, daí nunca senti problema com velocidade. Forte abraço
