Giving me an error message when I try to zap, assumed my getalby account was linked to my nsec. Where do you add a lightning wallet on Amethyst?
test flight version of Damus?
Gonna start using my android instead of Mac/Damus and start zapping people. These $4 worth of zaps are burning a whole in my pocket!
This is the right attitude. They are mostly bluffing, and the fewer who fall for it, the weaker they get.
Very hard to plan for the future at a time where things are changing/dissolving this rapidly. Options you thought you would have will disappear, and others you can’t even imagine will appear.
The whole “where do I see myself in five years” question doesn’t even make sense anymore.
The range out outcomes is Mad Max to leaving in a plush fully self-sufficient country house. Assuming you’re alive, that is.
There is a LOT of very specific evidence otherwise. They just coerced most of the western world to inject themselves with untested pharmaceutical products for profit and covered up the side effects!
They invaded Iraq due to a WMD lie and killed a million people.
Malevolance isn’t: “I’m the bad guy, and I want to hurt you.”
It’s “This is very important for the greater good, so my actions are justified, even if they unfortunately harm some people."
And the evidence of THAT is overwhelming.
A real woman never settles for a man under 7 feet.
Just occurred to me if they shut off the fiat rails for outspoken hodlers, there will be businesses set up to pay your fiat bills for you in exchange for BTC.
I hear you, and I’ve experienced the same, but in my laptop-class circles mostly. I think regular people who were much more impacted and harmed by the measures are far less likely to comply. And even more people in my circles are waking up too.
I think the ruling class is losing power, and they’re getting desperate.
The general public is not asking for CBDCs. But they are also not asking for bitcoin.
If they get the former, it won’t be long before they ask for the latter.
They are certainly *trying* to do that. After the covid fraud though, it’s a much harder sell.
Yeah, maybe people care on Twitter, though I say it anyway every time I go on that site, but there are things people are sensitive about here too, just different ones, and you see sometimes the response is the same (though it’s not nearly as bad yet.)
Agree they will *try* to censor NOSTR in any way they can if it becomes influential, but if it can’t survive that attack, then it’s not the freedom tech it’s purported to be.
That good faith, no matter how good you support your points, isnt appreciated by a communist regime.
People straw-manning your arguments to score points is weak af. I dealt with that shit on Twitter, and though it’s rarer here, and for different topics — no one cares if you say the mRNA was poison, for example, but talk about anonymity being a concession to the censor’s frame, and people will accuse you of being a Fed or purposely misrepresent your views.
I don’t care if someone is so emotionally fragile, but I will point it out.
Have had exactly the same process (though it’s a bit different for a man), but even so, when there are several sketchy looking dudes on a dark street, you’re at a disadvantage should they come after you.
Have a similar process when boarding a flight with a bag I know they want me to check. “I own this plane, I’m your boss, I’m the person you will get in trouble for asking to check his bag.”
Impossible to say how much of a difference it’s made, but I definitely walk right by them more often than not, while other people are getting their bags tagged (and required to wait at baggage claim.)
On Day 3 of a 4-day fast. Went running Day 1, hiking yesterday, but will restrict to shit-posting today and tomorrow.
One thing about extended fasting you realize (I do it every three months) is that it’s not the hunger so much as the habit of eating.
Ever since you were a kid, you were rewarded with food, like a trained dog. You do a bunch of work, exercise, etc., you expect your reward, whether it’s sitting down to a good steak with potatoes, or just biting into a crispy apple and chasing it with a slice of sharp cheese.
It’s a pleasant part of your day you’ve come to expect every so often, and when it’s denied, you feel a bit cheated, like why am I even doing all this shit?
It’s less now than when I first started doing it, but I still find myself thinking, “what am I going to eat when I get home?” even though I know the answer is “a glass of water.”
Ultimately, it’s good — even aside from the myriad health benefits — to break the pattern of needing and expecting a reward of any kind even for a few days.
But maybe getting engagement for my shit posts is kind of a substitute reward, so please do not engage with this post.
I thought about that recently — how many places you know can’t possibly make it and yet they still exist.
Only three possibilites: (1) They’re somehow getting way more customers in a way that’s invisible to an observer (unlikely); (2) they don’t mind flushng capital down the toilet year after year (also unlikely); or (3) it’s money laundering.
I used to think (3) was the most unlikely, but after the amount of wide-scale fraud that’s been exposed the last few years in virtually every aspect of society, it’s looking like the best explanation — at least in a lot of cases.
Nah, you’re distorting my position, which is you should be *allowed* to be anonymous, but if you’re not doing anything especially sensitive (e.g, giving Wikileaks evidence of war crimes, or building the bitcoin protcol), you *should* voluntarily post under your own handle.
This ain’t Twitter — make your points in good faith! nostr:note1k4guapt605nufsqaw5ljxra2hcc88errz7rce6vs4p0k04v74jkqkf2ftn
Few are happy about CBDCs or Nikki Haley’s proposal for ID’d-only social media. But the former will send people to BTC and the latter to NOSTR.
I think people not doing sensitive work should *choose* to ID themselves because it’s far more powerful, but forcing people is not only wrong, it’ll create an explosion in freedom tech.
Huge blunder by Haley.
