I've come to distrust Google entirely with their appetite for data, user fingerprinting and profiling, and willingness to play along with government overreach, and I'd be surprised if they were the ones who made the only truly secure hardware that would undermine those appetites. No backdoors? Nothing? Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I don't like them regardless. It just doesn't line up for me that their hardware is safehaven.
This month is the planetβs hottest on record by far β and hottest in 120k years

It's amazing how ineffective this is π Publicity about a search engine refusing to index a site leads more people to that site, because it's probably got something interesting to say
After listening to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx I'm committed to start posting more here on Nostr.
And to not just repeat what I already posted on X / Twitter, but to post original stuff here and build an organic audience, same as we first did on Twitter.
I can't build this stuff. But I can contribute by using it and help more people get into it.
Twitter belongs to Worldcoin now. Bitcoin is here.
Nice to see you here! π
As does collaboration
Call me crazy but I find it highly suspicious that, of all cellphone brands, it's a Google phone that ends up being the most secure for things like #GrapheneOS
This. If you make an open protocol that let you find willing drivers in your area, for eg, that are willing to deliver/drive for a certain fee, and pay them directly with lightning, how many companies' primary use cases vanish immediately? Yet that was probably the initial prospect and excitement around the internet, and instead we now have a situation where private companies own the ability to do everyday tasks.
There has to be a better solution. Nostr can't take off with so much data usage. I feel like there's got to be some kind of merkle-tree solution to knowing what your last state was and what needs to be retrieved. Something!
Looks like some chunky 1-3sat/vB transactions were RBF'd into the 50+ category. Someone got impatient π

The way this stuff gets punted makes me stay away completely. Front page of the Play Store, when have you ever seen a pre-release ad?

Will Amethyst provide this function in-app eventually?
This is not an "us versus spammers" POW, it's suggesting that clients must provide a POW in order to submit a post, as nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp laid out here:

Does fill up the timeline though π» nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z can we get a "temporary mute/hide" until the app is opened again?
I appreciate the freedom on Nostr, but this does create a chilling effect on speech personally π¬
Why can't I make a new post from my profile? Doubling back to the home page to post feels weird. Also tapping the logo should take me home. #Amethyst
