> 🎙️ No one cares about deplatforming or censorship. No one spoke of Twitter / Brazil over the weekend.

Honestly that's what I expected. In the west we're only concerned about ourselves, truly they wouldn't even care if this happened to their neighbors, in fact I'd say that they would find some way to justify it

> Funny story. One girl had created a load of Tupperware brand.

> But oops. She messed up because people stopped buying from her coz the products actually lasted. So they bought one for life and she couldn’t keep monetising her audience.

Enshittification

> To sum up. Would’ve been super interesting to be a fly on the wall over this weekend but influencing SUCKS.

> The model is retardio and to succeed in the world of influencing, your mental health takes a big hit and you effectively HAVE to become an unbearable diva.

Truth!

But since Big Tech is doing it we just roll with it

... Imagine if a real company did this... The outrage would never end

Counter argument: we should start fetishizing privacy more

Also I'm not one for involving government into people's speech since I think that's a dangerous rethoric (I'm very much a free speech maximalist) but I'm totally for suing all of those completely irresponsible CEOs that don't understand anything about technology and may discourage the next big programmer from getting started on their careers

We've been hearing this for years, I'm sorry but a tool that doesn't know how many Rs there are in strawberry will never replace a programmer. REAL AI might, LLMs will not, EVER

I used bitrefill literally last week (not in the us)

Depending on what the bills are I'd say probably nostr:nprofile1qqsdlpj77jpsf944q8htmzph0jg02g2xn4ru2wvhxq8zyk4trv5myeqprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0llas62 ? You won't be able to pay for rent or electricity, but groceries should be fine

20% no need to go soft.

Freedom of speech is disappearing in the us too. Slowly all speech is being controlled, and the only place where you can have freedom of speech is nostr.

Consider Japan. Taxes are the only thing that will get worse (sigh), but everything else will be exponentially better

The control pentahedron:

Big Tech

The media

Big Pharma

Big Agriculture

Big Government

I've been considering going with the #carnivore diet for a while since many people are trying to convince me to do it haha what would you say are the biggest hurdles in adopting it? And what advantages so you personally see?

I know that amethyst on Android does

Example zaps to this note will go 90% to you and 5% to opensats (if zapped via amethyst and any other client that support it)

Appendix G: zap tag on other events

When an event includes one or more zap tags, clients wishing to zap it SHOULD calculate the lnurl pay request based on the tags value instead of the event author's profile field. The tag's second argument is the hex string of the receiver's pub key and the third argument is the relay to download the receiver's metadata (Kind-0). An optional fourth parameter specifies the weight (a generalization of a percentage) assigned to the respective receiver. Clients should parse all weights, calculate a sum, and then a percentage to each receiver. If weights are not present, CLIENTS should equally divide the zap amount to all receivers. If weights are only partially present, receivers without a weight should not be zapped (weight = 0).

Little tech is the best tech

Yes. NIP-57 itself

There are two types of economists, Austrian economists and those that should read a few books

Non Privacy Concious; it's the people that care so little about liberty that they'd throw it away for a pizza

Remember Big Tech (FAANG and co) companies are not real companies, they're a disease on our world. Whenever they do things like this it's because they know that their end is near and they're desperately trying to maintain their influence for just a little longer.

It just means that were winning; their methods will get more and more desperate, but in the meantime don't use Google play. Use zap.store and f-droid

it does now! (closed community network)

well, I'm working on that 😛

Oh yeah, the savagery of Nostr... all those people being nice to each other and working together to build something great, how savage. The sheer brutality of forming supportive communities and fostering collaboration. Absolutely terrifying. I can just imagine the horror of people helping each other succeed and creating an environment where everyone thrives. Such a dystopian nightmare.

smh, in comparison mastodon (and every other activitypub implementation) feels like an even worse version of twitter or reddit
