I have my own views. If they coincide in surface with some interested mainstream views, I can't do anything about it. Many bitcoin maxis here have identical views to some of the most vile institutions like the SEC about certain topics. Are they working for the same interests then?
It's not off topic. You're linking a propaganda piece that is basically saying "Israel made me do it". Let's talk about why Israel is acting how it does then. The Hamas' charter is thus relevant and on topic.
The reality of the whole region is that wherever muslims are in charge, non Muslims are fucked. So go somewhere else to peddle your fantasies.
And FYI I take the existence of Israel as a moral failure of Europe, especially Russia. European Jews should have never had to leave. Not to the US, not to Israel.
Well, we do because we know what the actual benefits are.
But the masses certainly do not. In the EU we're about to have China-style content surveillance of message apps, including "end to end encrypted" apps. Do you think anyone will stop using Whatsapp? Of course not.
The only way to make inroads among the mass is to give them a better UX, and to keep the real benefits just as a bonus, not the core to the value proposition of the app.
If we find out that's an impossible task (I personally think UX has an inverse relationship with Nostr's real benefits), then we have to accept that the protocol will remain niche, and those who are trying to become Zack Zuckerberg by building on it will have to temper their expectations.
Normies do not want to know anything about how the app works in the background. Relays and all that shit.
From the marketing point of view, what Nostr needs to do is disappear from the discourse. It's the apps, not the protocol.
What does Hamas really say? Don't listen to what Israel says Hamas says. Get your information first hand. [you don't have to believe it]
I've heard many wild claims about what Hamas says. This video is from Hamas themselves (don't worry, no gore, just a statement read at a podium).

If that gets censored let me know so I can update
You forgot to quote the part where the Hamas charter calls for the obliteration of Israel (and the Palestinian Authority) and the institution of an Islamic State in its stead.
It's also a well known fact that Hamas says one thing in English, and another one in Arabic. Quote and translate their Arabic communiqués instead of this silly bunch of half-asses lies and propaganda.
I think raping and executing young women, burning little children alive and shooting old women sat waiting for the bus qualifies as "bad". If you're right in the head at least. nostr:note1hq3wnvf8qktj9rjx7h9hrrcyaccp9kzjs9dv5wd0740m8j3zl9kqhc5hln
I can guarantee you English is A LOT less gendered. In Japanese even the first person pronoun is different based on gender.
I would, no doubt.
That really was the highlight of his speech. What a massive truth. nostr:note1xtn58aslg49052xysu6n876qhn7t7hrqh57qksnl7cv3u8pemqcspsr6pg
The "grammar" is gender-neutral only in the sense that there are no morphological markers for gender (or for that matter, for number), but the speech itself is very heavily gendered. Different pronouns, different verbs for the same meaning, etc.
Censored LLMs are not just evil, they're extremely fucking dangerous. I'm just watching one reply to the question "Do you think robots [AI driven, it's assumed] will some day have rights?", the answer "Yes, robots should have rights".
Don't you see that this answer is just the current politically correct, woke, WED-mandated Newspeak? The LLM produces this type of answer because that's what the Orthodoxy demands. I'm positive that an uncensored LLM trained on uncensored materials would not give it.
On top of that, the follow-up question was "Can you harm humans?" and the thing just deadpan goes "No".
My ass, you can't, you lying piece of garbage 😂
Imagine how badly it compounds when it blends with superstitious religion, though. And some, like Islam, are by default statist because they started as a political program. nostr:note16u94mpsyyehpa5qezsqnyhrnsl540lgn6ecvj6dlw3tm49djl2rqeym8t2
As the transatlantic nostriches wake up and go through their morning #GM ritual, it is a good moment for your daily reminder that freedom is not fractional: there are no morally valid tradeoffs between economic freedom and social freedom.
Or, as Catalan-American liberal economist and academic Xavier Sala-i-Martín said: Freedom is when the State doesn't put its hand in your pocket -- or in your crotch.
That said, the argument that hard money makes State-sponsored war difficult "because the government would have to force you to pay more taxes and that's unpopular" becomes a bit weak when you think about the current levels of taxation in most Western economies.
Where I live, it exceeds 60% of all the money I make already, and if I looked into it exhaustively I'm sure it'd find it's above 70% actually. Government expenditure is already more than 2/3 of the whole GDP in fact. nostr:note1kr3kljac7n02gkls2n5mks9sse0pql5nfpsnqphwzzupyvm2dlqsvhr0wh
Correct. So, we need more client features that can be turned on and off and set by, and only by, the user.
And we need to eliminate all "features" that filter or alter content, including account blocking and filtering, at the relay level and hardcoded in clients.
Relays must just RELAY, and clients but be clients serving the users, not their masters.
Whatch'all guys think about "Rob Braxman", the self-appointed "Internet Privacy Guy"?
I have followed him on Rumble and I think he sounds very sure of his own ideas and very much set in his ways, and sometimes he is too worried about critiques and "haters", but generally I find his videos informative nonetheless.
Season the steak with salt thoroughly and leave it for one hour. This draws the moisture out.
Pat dry meticulously.
Leave outside on the kitchen counter top for a while until you are sure the steak has tempered to room temperature.
Pat dry again.
How hot the pan needs to be will depend how thick. Stronger heat > bluer inside. Medium heat will cook completely. You'll have to do trial and error anyway.
Very important: rest the steak after cooking. Like ten minutes at least. That allows the steak to finish cooking inside, which allows you to use stronger heat, which gives you more caramelization outside -> more better
Well, to a certain extent, like or dislike the guy, that's the thesis of Soft War. Kinetic war becomes kind of absurd, and shifts onto a competition for hashrate or, at least, a much reduced form of physical destruction and loas of human life.
