We should strive to make public key handlers far more appealing than word handlers. There is beauty and mystery surrounding public keys. I have a couple of ideas in this regard. Unfortunately, perhaps due to my autism, my daily work consumes 95% of my available time. It's really hard to focus on Nostr and work on my 9-5 job

Brazil in a nutshell:

- A bridge built in the 1960s connects two states in a poor region of Brazil.

- It’s a very important bridge for the region.

- Since 2019, there were warnings that the bridge might collapse.

- The government attempted to hold a bidding process for companies to fix it, but the price they were willing to pay (R$16 million—about $3 million USD) was too low.

- The bridge collapsed two days ago, resulting in 17 deaths. Three large trucks fell, including one carrying 76 kilotons of sulfuric acid, which spilled into the river.

- Many cities have suspended water supplies sourced from the river.

- Now, the government is discussing rebuilding the bridge. They’ve mentioned a cost of R$150 million, but it will likely double due to corruption and inefficiency.

that why he never have Christmas in Brazil

não tem taxa. mas vc precisa ter outra cidadania: vc não pode ser apátrida

You’ve started posting random pictures from the internet instead of the amazing ones you used to share here. Bad move. It’s hurting the audience you’re building and undermining what made your content special. If you want post pictures you didn't take yourself, but you like it and want to share, try creating a separed account for that.

Beautiful couple

I have said this before, but I think it's important to reinforce: Nostr should adopt a better separation of concerns. There is no reason to to marry with secp256k1. It would be better to include a few initial bytes to indicate the type of asymmetric keys being used

basically I cannot change the feed source because the menu disappears fast

Great. I hope there is support for muting people. There's this dude asking to be cut in half, and it always appears in my feed. It's the most disturbing thing I've seen here. There's also the following issue:

Such a beautiful thing to see a group of kids having fun together. Here in Brazil, children's birthday parties are not just for kids: entire families come together to enjoy themselves. These are long parties; you arrive for lunch and stay until the evening.

Sim. Basta que você tenha outra cidadania.

Continua sendo possível renunciar a cidadania brasileira. Você apenas precisa explicitamente requerer

I'd be a whole coiner by now if I didn't love Italian restaurants so much

You are the one of the best Bitcoin evangelist, Alejandra. She is such a beautiful young lady! If you orange-pilled her, she could drive real change in the long term for her country

Beautiful to see

Eu coloco em comida italiana

I had a little argument with my mom telling her that it's a little weird for her to send pictures of me to other people

he can attack me if you prefer 🌝

I like WhatsApp's features and UI. That said, it's really difficult to list the issues because, in a way, we are listing symptoms of the same cause: it's a centralized system colluding with the a centralized government.

Here are a few reasons off the top of my head :

1. It's heavily tied to phone numbers, making it easy to obtain the personal information of number owners.

2. They keep communication metadata.

3. They cooperate with law enforcement in countries without free speech rights. When they denied to cooperate here in Brazil, a judge blocked Whatsapp in the entire country. Therefore, if they want to do business in the country, they necessarily have to collude with authoritarian regimes to crush their opponents..

4. Meta integrating LLM everywhere, so it is kind hard to assess how exposed your personal data might be

Hey, I just received 10k sats from you. That was very kind of you! I hope my message didn’t come across as a plea—that wasn’t my intention. I have a good life, but I just can’t afford to give 10k to strangers frequently anymore. Thank you.

People used to be more generous with zaps, and so was I. I used to give out 10k sats to people here every once in a while. For a lower middle-class Brazilian like myself, that's a lot of money—you can pay for a nice dinner for one with it.

We desperately need something to replace Whatsapp in Brazil. It's a cancer. Telegram is almost the same thing.

I tried to read that book three times. It's a small book, but I couldn't finish it any of those times. It was extremely boring (maybe it's cool for those who are already familiar with the characters portrayed in it).

is this our first viral?

i wouldn’t have survived my teenage years with something like apple vision pro

i tried apple vision pro today—crazy shit. wild times. cyberspace is where human consciousness lives. vr is the next level of integration. huge opportunities for decentralized protocols like Nostr

I'm as happy as ever with Nostr. The new Primal version is amazing, Amethyst is getting better every day, and Olas is very promising. Bullish on Nostr.

😅

Signal can reveal two pieces of information as far as I know:

1. the last time you were online

2. your phone number.

The phone number is my primary concern because governments can track your location by triangulating it through mobile carriers.

I became an amateur genealogist precisely because of that. You start working on your family tree, and then you start to take pride in reading old documents from the 18th century and visiting old cemeteries. You might even start buying DNA kits for your family members and relatives. It can become an expensive hobby, but it is extremely rewarding.
