JD Vance has called billionaire David Sacks “one of my closest confidants.” His other friends include Curtis Yarvin, an anti-democracy software developer, and billionaire Peter Thiel. It’s concerning that Vance is buddies with a monarchist; his mentor Thiel has written, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible” and anti-democracy Yarvin has stated that US democracy is a failed experiment and the US government should be replaced with a CEO dictator. When Vance spoke with Sacks on his podcast he said he would not have certified the 2020 election — “I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors” , this is also concerning for an American VP candidate to have these viewpoints about going against the rights of American voters . 🇺🇸

Ah The Verge. A tech site going through a meltdown and posting political rants. 🤣
We need an iOS 18 dark icon for Damus 😜
They updated their credentials a while back. Just go to their page and copy over the new stuff.
I live in the ghetto so I'm good.
I prefer running my relay on a Raspberry Pi. Don't have to worry about my battery draining.
New iPhone announced today with a capacitive button that is a recycled touch ID button from the iPad Air. And all of the case makers are going to leave a giant hole in all of their case rather than find a way to make it work through the case. 😢
Trump had been bragging about restricting women’s reproductive freedom for years, including earlier this year, a national ban would be his natural next step based on his past actions and he has said he would do it in past years

He was president for 4 years. You know what you're gonna get.
What is Project 2025, the Republican plan for Trump? It includes plans to take away women’s reproductive freedom in all 50 states. The plan says the FDA’s approval of medications used in miscarriages and abortions should be reversed. It also calls for reviving a 19th century law, the Comstock Act, to ban any miscarriage/abortion medications, equipment, or materials from being sent through the U.S. Postal Service.🇺🇸

Why keep beating this drum? He's denied having anything to do with them and has shown support for some abortion allowances including the emergency provisions.
The Apple event is tomorrow. Pre orders most likely on Friday with a release the following week. 99.9% of people would be fine with the 15. The problem is paying full price for an old phone the day before the 16 comes out.
Mount Tamalpais, CA. Really hot out there today. 
What’s up with these reply bots posting the same thing over and over in your notes? #asknostr
It’s incredible how the majority of people don’t really care about tech. Went to the Apple Store today and was told by one of the associates that they have been “discouraging” people from buying iPhones until next week and that most don’t care and buy anyways.
I should make a new account and pretend to be a chick. Watch the SATs roll in 🤪🤣

I bought a Backbone controller for my phone and have been playing retro games on Retroarch. Apple is slowly bringing big names over to the App store but the performance isn't there yet. AC Mirage ran like shit on both the M4 iPad and iPhone 15 pro.
It's not about followers for me. It's about engagement. Sometimes Nostr feels like people talking to themselves. "Bitcoin good, Government bad". Gets boring after a while.
