I bought a cheap Android tablet the other day. It wouldn't allow me to sign into Google Play with my gmail account unless I pay $1.99 ransom for storage every month.

Then it occured to me, I don't need google.

All of the apps I need are on zapstore, obtanium, or aurora.

So I don't need to pay $1.99 to Google every month.

I know it's only two bucks a month.

I just don't want to support surveillance capitalism.

I don't know, but I'm interested in other people's answers.

Jaron Lanier's name appears on the same Wired Magazine cover the Cypherpunks issue.

Today, I started reading his book, Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts.

Has anyone else read this book?

I wonder what he thinks of nostr.

Awesome video.

This is the real problem with social media. You only see what they want you to see, especially when it comes to politics, but your eyes stay glued to the screen like senior citizen's ass glued to a seat in front of a slot machine.

I never even knew Pixel made tablets until the other day. I bought a cheap tablet online. Is it possible to install CalyxOS on it? There's no secure element. I just don't want Google crapware on it.

Happy birthday.

What's Farcaster, web3 blockchain bullshit?

He's cuuuuuuute!

Zapstore is mind blowing.

Thanks. I didn't even think about that. It's just like a phone. Duh 😏🤣

Good morning.

Is there a way to de-google tablets?

#asknostr

Awesome.

My made this with spray paint.

#artstr

No problem.

Right.

Running Mealie on an old laptop because it sucks on my phone.

Does anyone else use mealie on Umbrel?

#asknostr #grownostr🌱

That's awesome. Thanks.

You can name the rooms?

I wasn't able to zap you so I sent a message, but it was on my end. Sorry.🤦‍♂️

"I didn't have sex with a porn star.”

What a shitshow.

Don't worry. They say unemployment is only 4% and inflation is only 3%. Trust, don't verify.

There is at least a 1% chance this debate is an AI video, but if there is no audience we must trust, can't verify.

Me too, but the lightning address broke.

Seed oils?

I haven't tried it yet, but I heard speechnote is good on Linux Unplugged.

I'm not sure id it uses hugging face either.

I host it, but I haven't used it much. How is it?

Shill me your favorite bitcoin themed songs. #asknostr #music

😢

Apple only?

Thank you. That's a great answer.

What's the average lifespan of galvanized steel garden beds?

Yeah, but he has some great articles. I've also been looking for a bill pay service in the US since Bitrefill discontinued the service. He's also not wrong, but there's only so many hours in the day. You have to choose your battles.

I have the app, but I'm looking for a re-loadable prepaid physical credit card. In a perfect world, we wouldn't need credit cards, but this is not a perfect world.

I've been pondering the first sentence of A Cypherpunk's Manifesto these days.

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the digital age."

From what I can tell, an open society is a term coined by Karl Popper. An open society is a free society. People are free to do as they please and talk to whoever they wish to talk to.

When the going gets tough, the tough get authoratarian. They demand, "papers please." Businesses with NO CASH ACCEPTED signs are subtle ways of refusing service to those without papers. Did AI find your face at the trucker protest? Bank account banned. NO CASH ACCEPTED.

If history rhymes, as Mark Twain once quipped, we can expect the world to become more authoritarian while the money continues to break.

Darthcoin makes some good points, but I'm searching for solutions to live free in an unfree world, not knock on door doors and preach the good news of Satoshi. People will accept bitcoin when they need to, but first, we must show them. That's why I'm so bullish on nostr.

Sorry for the long rant. 😅
