don't follow me. I am an avid shitposter

how do people use the internet without an adblocker? i tried it for 5 minutes and i almost vomited

I've been thinking about nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a's post on looking up things you don't know. I realized it's the only thing that kept me better than my peers and well-respected at my job. I did some seminars to pass on some of my knowledge, but I realized they still wouldn't hold the torch and continue exploring further.

All of this while I have the lowest degree in education amongst all of them. Some people rely too heavily on others teaching them and giving them a piece of paper.

App for android. Open-source.

"NewPipe has been created with the purpose of getting the original YouTube experience on your smartphone without annoying ads and questionable permissions."

I have NewPipe, Clipious, YouTube reVanced, LibreTube all on my phone, but nothing for desktop other than ublock origin, i'll try invidious again and see if it got any better

invidious is cool, but i haven't figured out a way to block certain channels. there's probably a ton other features missing, but that's the one that drove me away from it

Apparently #youtube is restricting access to watching videos if you use an adblocker. I better download the videos in my account so I'm ready to migrate before they completely lock it.

Avoiding posting on Twitter at the moment. I’m just watching there. There’s enough overnight-expert Middle East hot takes and emotions are running high. The violence and scenes are terrible, and my heart goes out to all victims involved and those who will be caught up in it going forward.

I’ll instead post a few things in my lane here as it relates to global finance and todays actions relating to things I’ve already been covering but that now obviously have updates. Helps me get my thoughts together for what will eventually be my next client report.

-Actions like this show the difficulty of multinational currency agreements. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been having more peaceful relations lately as China brought them together (“enemy of my enemy is my pragmatic financial friend”, and so forth). They are both set to join BRICS+ in January 2024.

-But, Saudi Arabia has also been working with the US and Israel on normalizing relations with Israel, in exchange for US arms deals and such. Saudi Arabia was also making promises to raise oil output to alleviate oil prices if they grow too quickly, which the US wants.

-So this attack (w/ Iranian involvement and public support) puts Saudi Arabia in a weird place. Lots of division and competing goals within BRICS+. Has all sorts of implications for Saudi/Israeli relations, Saudi/US relations, and what happens in the coming weeks will affect how those go.

-Egypt and Ethiopia are also joining BRICS+ in January 2024 and they have had a multi year ongoing feud regarding the Grand Renaissance dam on the Nile.

-China and India are well known as not being on good terms. Border disputes and all that.

-Building trade and currency and military agreements between so many different cultures is a bigger challenge than doing so between US and West Europe.

there is an opinion that Saudi/Iran had an agreement, and China had nothing to do with it. But they shoehorned it at the end to give China a "win" over the US.

is it hypocritical to use #Windows and #Microsoft products when you're against #BillGate 's depopulation agenda?

i wish, but i'd have no time to check up on it. i check my instagram account once every other year

how do we know this story is real? there is many like it lying around

thanks, didn't know this existed

how do people deal with the endless #email #spam and scam?

do you create a new email?

OpenSats is proud to announce long term support for bitcoin core developer nostr:npub1s6z7hmmx2vud66f3utxd70qem8cwtggx0jgc7gh8pqwz2k8cltuqrdwk4c.

Sjors has reviewed almost a thousand pull requests since 2017, some of them in-depth reviews across many rebases. He has opened about 160 pull requests over the years in various areas, mostly related to the wallet codebase. His main focus is on thorough code reviews as opposed to writing code himself.

Joining nostr:npub1uaj9phu5lpxpczm3vaayt46m0yv0pduxzy7z6quwd2uggxue7fmqx9665u and Marco Falke, we are now providing long term support to three bitcoin core developers.
