I already did that due to the search rate limiting. This is different, the app just stays in the splash screen forever

You can also try setting up your settings to install with aurora store by default. It's the search function that Google is limiting

Came back to give Nostr another go after all the buzz at BTC Miami and I have to say getting first zap was much more enjoyable than I had anticipated!

Now I need to try to wrap my head around what Relays are.

Wife gave me a new sauna robe 😍

Remember the days when all phone calls were made on copper lines and it was easy to trouble shoot. Now with VOIP there are so many variables it takes multiple engineers to review the problem.

My sister finding out the hard way “Not your keys not your coins”.

Wirex app demands KYC to restore functionality 🤮 fortunately I got her to move most of it a few years ago but she insisted on keeping some on the app.

Does this KYC the rest ?

Is it worth the hassle for £70 ?

On track to finish this book a few days before the A+ Core 1 test. 400/1240 pages

Want to know why they didn't list SeedSigner?

I'll tell you why;

Because flagging raspberry pis would be a nightmare.

Same reason why supply chain attacks are unfeasible.

Hide yourself in the laws of large numbers, just like Bitcoin allows you to hide your seed.

There are many moments where my biggest bear case for Bitcoin is that an idiot like me couldn't possibly be right about this and still see it before so many others.

The judges at pitch day thought an ordinal wallet was better than nodeless 🥲

As always, it's great hanging out with high signal bitcoiners.

As we all know the most signal and best moments existed outside of the main stage at the conference.

Between the Open Source Stage or just hanging out around PubKey in the expo hall, and especially the various side events... That's where the magic is.

The conference is just a motivating factor to get us all in a common place.

Has been a great time having it in my own back yard the past few years.... But also excited to see what it'll be like in Nashville... Although I gotta admit it won't be the same without a beach party.

Love all of you weirdos!

Who are we kidding it's el Salvador for all of us at this point

One common theme I saw on Twitter and LinkedIn is people saying how much better they felt after taking a break from those platforms. It’s sad though because they don’t seem to realize why they need a break in the first place…

Algorithmic feeds hone in on very specific types of content that on a larger scale over millions of people boil down to a handful of formats. Because people mimic success, content rarely changes in terms of the “script” it follows.

These users who need a break are essentially looking over the same type of content day in, day out. To stay relevant they must also feed the algo with new content to make it happy and show their posts. It’s a never-ending hamster wheel of working for the algo.

Most of these people are also there to build up their followers. Since this metric drives everything, people are modifying their own behavior to act in ways they don’t typically act. This is especially true on LinkedIn where you want employers to think positively of you. This is mentally fatiguing and people are burning themselves out without giving much thought as to why.

The never ending hamster wheel of always trying to reach for more likes and shares has another negative effect when you don’t achieve your desired goals to grow the following or hit an X number of likes / shares on your post. People start judging themselves and wonder why their stuff is not doing as good as this other person. It’s human nature to compare to others. If they stepped away and thought about this for a moment they would notice the pathetic nature of this meaningless endeavor.

Finally, the fakeness of it all, the constant self-filtering and putting on a face tires them out. People become slaves to the algos, slaves to people they don’t care about and slaves to their own fake behavior. It is no wonder they burn out and require breaks.

The saddest part is once they are back from feeling good, they go right back to it.
