You make it sound easy. I spent days trying to set up my account. DAYS. There may or may not have been screams and tears involved. I'm just glad I can finally post.
I triiied... I finally gave up. It's too confusing and I don't have any more time to spare. 😔
Hey, great to see you here! How do you like Nostr?

"Let the record show that I categorically reject the charade unfolding in Damascus. The people in this room do not have the authority to grant presidential legitimacy to anyone. 'Democracy' is somehow being exploited for power, without even the slightest mention. Coup d'état."

I’m running into a series of tech snags and issues on Primal and I’m unable to set up a Lightning wallet. But thank you anyway!
I have an Android, too! You were right. It was super easy to set up. The only problem is that the setup has a bug. At the end, the app emails me an activation code but there's no place to enter the code, won't allow me to finish the setup, and the email doesn't contain an activation link.
I tried to sign up separately with Strike, as ThatDudeLuke@lifeinmi.com recommended (also super easy) but it requires a non-Google phone number, which I don't have (I never use the phone.) I finally gave up but the built-in Primal Wallet is for sure the most user-friendly, if it only worked, haha!
Okay, I understand that makes perfect sense in your mind and it’s probably super simple and easy… but I don’t even know what an LN is and it feels like trying to figure out what a bunch of extraterrestrials are saying, lol. But thank you!
I’m on Primal desktop and Damus.
Okay, thank you. I’ll try it. Deep breath… why is it so overly technical and difficult, lol.
I do not have a lightning wallet. I have an account at crypto.com because it seemed like the most user friendly app but I couldn’t find a lightning wallet option. Is strike.me an easy set up for people like me?
I can see that Damus works better but I need a desktop client to post fast breaking news, images, and video clips. Will Primal work for that?
CALIFORNIA FIRES
LA Mayor Karen says Pacific Palisades residents will likely be able to return to their homes within a week.
Trump says that's not fast enough and that there's too much red tape slowing things down.

Also, can someone recommend the best desktop client to post fast-breaking news links and short video clips? Primal seems to keep freezing up on me. Am I doing something wrong?
I was posting on Primal desktop. I was also not getting notifications. And then Primal completely froze up on me. Now I’m replying to you on Damus. I would appreciate any help, thank you!
Thank you, I tried but it's just too confusing. People have explained it, and I still have no idea how to do this.
Can someone tell me how to turn off the requirement to enter my Pin every 3 minutes?
SHOCKING US STATE DEPARTMENT FREEZE ON FOREIGN AID
New Secretary of State Marco Rubio freezes new funding for nearly all US aid programs worldwide for 90 days. It appears to apply to military assistance to Ukraine but with exceptions to Israel and Egypt.
This means no further actions will be taken to disperse aid funding to programs already approved by the US government.
"State just totally went nuclear on foreign assistance," said a State Department official
