There is no way to force a man to be free. Freedom always comes from within.

Do I understand correctly. that I can set to which relays I post and which relays I read from globally and also can ad hoc manage where I send notes to, for each one of them?

Now relays finally start to make sense.

Plebstr really needs to work on this.

How did you post to only that relay? Does Amethyst have a feature for that? Did you just remove all the other relays?

I have seen the tag several times, but am totally clueless about the context.

It's not first. It's the first to implement payments with LN, but direct payments for posts on eocial media have been tried and failed before.

Most famous would probably be Libra by facebook that didn't even make it to launch iirc. Less known. but still applicable would probably be Steemit, which tried a similar concept, except that they created their own shitcoin for that.

And given that LN is a relatively recent thing, It's not thst surprising, that there isn't anyone else doing it yet. (sic!)

If you know the drug, I have likely at least had a taste, but Heroin and opiates in general is something I strictly avoid.

Please do share your experience when you do. I am extremely intrigued, but I just finished bullying my social bubble into using Signal and cannot make them switch to SimpleX.

You are both correct to a point.

Wedding and engsgement rings date back literal milennia in some cultures.

Diamonds as an obligatory part of an engagement ring is a pure marketing scheme, iirc, from early 20th century to artificially increase demand for diamonds.

That depends on how loose definitions are you willing to accept.

It definitely is a fallacious debating tactic, but strictly speaking, ad hominem afaik only refers to that one specific use case.

Sadly, nowadays even dictionaries allow looser definitions on various terms to accomodate colloquial usage, which is yet another great debate to be had, bc it leads to a myriad of problems. Especially economics and politology are plagued by this.

And also while I generally agree that when you start with the insults, you have already lost, I don't think the situation was as hood back in the day. Public debates have been plagued by logical fallacies, emotional and immature since speech itsrlf became a thing.

I hate being that guy, but...

Y'all are using the term "ad hominem" wrong. It's not a stand in replacement for a smearjob, an attack on character or just a general insult.

Ad hominem is a logical fallacy where you attempt to invalidate your opponent's argument BECAUSE OF their character.

"You are an idiot and you are wrong." is not an ad hominem.

"You are an idiot and that is why you are wrong" is an ad hominem.

Thank you for listening to this public service announcement.

For what use case? Messaging? If so. then Signal and SimpleX exist. Also iirc TG has opt-in privacy for messaging, so...

Please do, if only to see how that works. Haven't received any DMs yet.

Ještě jsem nabral nějaký follows a až uvidím, že něco postnou, mám walletku proklatě nízko. :D

What are the supposed conspiracies there?

I have read up on both and see a botched marketing scheme and a scam project where a guy wants to buy iris scans for eventually worthless tokens. What I see is just bullshit, not a grand conspiracy.
