Why doesn't signal open interoperability with other xmpp servers? Even google talk and facebuk had it in the past.

How about we start with releasing the Epstein black book then go from there 🤷‍♂️

I know ink has been spilled on this topic ad nauseum, by writers more knowledgeable and eloquent. But something really clicked into place for me this week, and I wanted to share.

Humanity was trapped in an endless cycle of states rising and falling. The 'good times creates weak men' meme.

States are incentivised to grow their power in order to justify their existence, because each state is nothing if not a collection of people who are self-interested. But that power must be granted by the populace.

Governments are literally incentivised to break societal bonds, to sap our strength and will, -to make us weak- so that we are inclined to grant them ever more power. If the average person took maximum responsibility for their own life, family, and community, what space is there left for a government to step in and LARP like they're solving problems?

We've been driven to this abhorrent softness over the course of generations, because this is what happens every cycle, in every land, with every people. Because we're flawed, and fearful, and imperfect.

But now we have Bitcoin, and Nostr... And I think these two things will give us enough space to break that cycle and realize our potential long term.

If you have young kids - take a look at them. When we are all gone and they are spending time with their grandchildren, the world will be a blindingly bright place.

follow me, I'm a dev from brazil

What if I want to be a custodian for a small community (or family).

Somehow serious HW with raid, backups and everything, but not "enterprise" level (no isp backup, small ups just to shutdown clearly).

Public or private?

UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO RESPONSIBLY KILL MY LONGEST RUNNING LIGHTNING NODE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

TRIED TO DO IT AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE FEE RATES FOR THE SAKE OF MY CHANNEL PARTNERS.

STILL RUNNING FOUR OTHER NODES. ONWARD. 🫡

LIVE FOOTAGE OF DEVELOPERS USING APPLE'S ECOSYSTEM

Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.

The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.

To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.

The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.

I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

Please save me.
