This is great, but just to be clear some of these things I don't understand.

Clone a repo - that's a GitHub thing right? I'll add that to tools I have to become familiar with

What is an ide?

Some code is relatively easy to understand, but much that I've seen is very opaque and requires a baseline understanding of programming concepts that I'm not incredibly fluent with.

find an existing project you are interested in.

clone the repo.

load in your favorite ide.

dig through the code to understand parts.

make small changes, build, test.

get more familiar.

start working on issues.

submit prs.

this is language agnostic. mainly requires passion, willpower, logic thinking

Governments speaking out against non-KYC money and making AN arrest is a complete bluff.

If .5% of Americans are using censorship-resistant and permission-less money that can’t be stopped, then that’s ≈1.65 million people they would need to stifle.

The federal government is fully incapable of enforcement on even a fraction of that number of individuals. The Federal Bureau of prisons is already at capacity with more than 100,000 murderers, gang members, robbers and rapists. There is absolutely no room for a new glut of non-violent prisoners and they will never take it there.

They are trying to scare people into compliance because they know they cannot enforce it. I absolutely don’t give a fuck what these agencies say. I’m not changing a thing about what I do. Fuck them and fuck every single one of their decrees.

I grew up within and participating in the illegal #cannabis movement. A movement where hundreds of thousands of liberty-minded individuals decided to disregard decrees (at our own peril) and simply overwhelm the establishment and their unjust decrees. It worked. I will do the exact same thing with #Bitcoin and you should too.

If you’re scared, stop it. If you’re thinking of changing your behavior, don’t. Just move smart and continue to do what you know is right. Moral law > everything else.

Twitter makes me sad every time I go there. What makes me even more sad are those people I love and respect refusing to even try nostr. They stay on twitter just being basted in hatred and negativity.

The Yuppie Elite fully believes they can comply their way out of tyranny.

Quit the victim blaming. The First Amendment is a thing, did you know that?

I think I finally understand nicotine addiction. Damn. I know I've said it in the past that it's bad for my lungs but I think I actually actually have to stop smoking blunts because I'm starting to smoke them for their nicotine content rather than the weed content. I'm probably gonna be grouchy for a couple days.

And why is that an issue? Lol

Started carrying with one in the pipe a few months ago. Now feels natural and not a big deal.

There was an initial hesitation about having a loaded pistol pointed near my junk but if I can't trust the gun not to fire without a trigger pull I shouldn't be carrying it.

Bitcoin is so much more than a currency, investment or measurement.

It literally changes people.

And the deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the more it changes you.

It’s wild to think about.

All of us here today will be our own boss within the next decade.

At what age are you considered old?

A few days ago I posted about how 17 years later I still have genuine heartbreak with the last scene of the Sopranos. With BSG it happens more than once. The characters and their interactions are so well built... that's really what the series is about.

I'm a complete, staunch, irredeemable atheist and I don't know if that's where you're coming from in regards the "theological" angle.

I just took it as part of the storytelling, it's just another element that adds to it. Most people are not atheists, at the end of the day, and again, it's a show about people.
