For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!

Went to the store today to buy meat. It was weird just buying meat. I had to walk by ALLLLLL the stuff 95% of the store to the meat / seafood isle.

Out of seafood / meat, a lot of it has sauces and sugar additives. For the first time my eyes were opened to just how many foods have sugar in them 🤯

Bought beef, pork, chicken, fish, scallops, oysters etc.. Did not see ANY organ meat which is odd considering this country likes Yakitori. All sausage had additives ;(

I'm not aware of any local butchers but do know of one pork processing place but it's kind of far. I think I'll make a trip down there for quality sausage at a later time.

Overall surprised by how affordable it is despite high beef prices. I think I got about 5 meals worth which should last me 5 days. Luckily I live very close to the store where I can just walk there in 3 mins and buy anything I want.

TikTok swipe behavior is so addictive. You can open the app knowing you’re be hooked and try to stop a minute in and then spend 30 minutes swiping. I don’t know exact what’s happening but it’s brain hijacking. Very weird.
