That's one way to bake a chicken.

For most people FOSS is not a feature at all. I'd go out of my way to use something if it's FOSS, even if it donsn't solve all my problems, instead of using a more featureful app that is proprietary. Because proprietary software is a trap.

The FOSS software that is popular is not used by normies because it's FOSS, but because it's really good: VLC and Firefox come to mind. For people who have a need for it, Blender is another example of extremely high quality software.

Peertube, by it's decentralized nature, is not going to be as fast as Google's servers for YouTube, so most people would actively avoid it. The irony is that if more people used Peertube, it would be faster.

PeerTube is working great, though it does highlight just how expensive it is to do a FOSS youtube. I looked into running a small instance, but it requires more resources than I'm able to fit into my monthly budget.

The amount of selling pressure at these price levels is pretty amazing to me.

Some have speculated that 2013 era Chinese miner whales have been consistently selling into all of this demand. Some assume it is paper Bitcoin games.

It looks like a waiting game to me until all of this apparent sell side pressure decreases.

Stack accordingly plebs.

i agree, but marketplace is compelling

When Peter Todd isn't demanding WWIII, he is reacting to to Knots now running almost 14% of the bitcoin network.

Why are they seething? What happened?

Good morning ☕️

Stay focused….

That's a spicy one

Youtube is just too easy, and most people don't value FOSS tech.

Maybe there is a way to integrate with Nostr and we could just take it over?

His channel didn't advocate anything illegal and was purely educational. Insane.

The last time I quit smoking, I was miserable

By day 3, I had gone nuts

Withdrawal is nasty

Let’s see if I can pull it off this time

Sorry?

Pardon?

wife material!

A little bird told me that we have some climate activists on #Nostr. This is for them...

Sounds like a good plan, as long as you think of the house as a consumer good and not an investment!

Yes. Just pointing out their physiognomy reflects that possession

Their wickedness manifest to the outside. You can tell evil has taken over their bodies

All of those people look like shit

A very important read, take the time to look into this it affects everyone:

The Silent Command Center: Who's Really Making the Moves in the Iran Conflict?‼️

June 26, 2025

While the eyes of the world were focused on the twelve-day conflict between Israel and Iran, with the direct participation of the United States, in the background, according to analyst Alexander Sosnovsky, a completely different story was unfolding.

According to him, the decision on engagement was not made in the White House, nor in the Pentagon - but in the server room of a private American company...

"The attack was largely initiated through a software platform called Mosaic, developed by the company Palantir," explains Sosnovsky.

In his analysis, published in the German media, it is stated that this very software analyzes vast amounts of data and then generates proposals for strategic decisions - which obviously do not stay at the council level.

Palantir Technologies is a company shrouded in secrecy, whose influence is increasingly reaching into the military and political spheres. Among the shareholders is the giant BlackRock, with an almost 9% share, but even more important are the people who manage this technological colossus.

Peter Thiel, known as one of the founders of PayPal and a close associate of Donald Trump, and Alexander Karp, the company's director, media magnate and member of the notorious Bildeberg Group.

According to Sosnovsky, Karp is the creator of "a new kind of command room" - a space where orders are not shouted, but artificial intelligence calculations are quietly carried out.

"If Orwell's Big Brother was just watching, Karp's systems are already governing," says Sosnovsky.

It is even more unusual, the analyst claims, that Thiel politically supports the Republicans, while Karp is on the side of the Democrats.

Sosnovsky asks a logical question: if both wings of the political spectrum are connected to the same corporation - are the political conflicts real, or just part of a wider show?

In the shadow of Palantir is another German company - Quantum. Its engineers develop sophisticated "vector maps" that are used to navigate autonomous combat systems, such as drones.

According to data provided by Sosnovsky, these drones already use maps of Russian territories that were created through earlier projects and now enable operations that exceed the range of classic missiles such as the Taurus.

Such systems, programmed to select their own targets, represent a new dimension of conflict - where the military plan is no longer in the hands of humans, but of codes.

Cheaper, faster and increasingly accurate, autonomous drones could completely replace expensive missile systems.

Quite expectedly, German politics is not far from these structures either. Friedrich Merz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union and one of the most vocal advocates of strengthening Germany's military power, previously sat on the board of BlackRock.

When he talks about "the most powerful European army" today, the question is how much of it is politics and how much is the interest of the corporations that manage the data.

Sosnovsky says: "There is no need to panic, but it is necessary to understand where decisions are made today - not in political parties, not at polling stations, but among the lines of code in command centers under the auspices of corporations."

It is a new reality, a world governed by artificial intelligence."

If until yesterday the army listened to the general, today the software may be wondering. And it's no longer science fiction - it's everyday life.

As long as you plan to never convert a sat to a dollar, you can claim to be in phase 3 💪

The flippening I wanted to see. 15 i2p connections. 🤌

It's weird but I enjoy all the Intel on global events. I don't enjoy the bias with it that's why I follow pretty blunt accounts that just drop the Intel. Not sure if it's from my past but it helps keep le motivated. I don't miss the dead bird app, but will check out shared links. I will say FB is awful and Don't enjoy interacting there at All

TLDR: agree

First you get to the 'I'm rich in dollars!' stage.

Then you get to the 'Yes! price has gone down, I can get more sats!' stage.

Then you get to the 'why the fuck are you pricing Bitcoin in paper' stage.

Price Bitcoin in GOODS, not in arbitrary dollars.

It makes more sense to price Bitcoin in SAND than it does to price it in dollars.

Ahhh okay cool. It just sounded like a negative thing that you said before and just concerned me. All good intentions here 🤞🏼🫂

GM D3!

Don’t be afraid 🤭

What you mentioned about closing the gates and “this sort of thing”

Huh?

GM ₿loomers!

Enjoy your day

GM y’all. Getting dogs out and groceries bought early. So gddmn sweaty even at six am.

🥵☕️🔥🫠

Nostr is better during bear markets and non-volatility. It's almost time for the summer price drop and non-volatility, right? Right???

🤔😳🤨….f*ck I’m being censored on nostr🤦🏽‍♂️….and by retards no less🤯🤌🏽⭕️

Hyperinflation is demarcated by a loss of faith in the currency.

Bitcoiners are people who’ve already lost faith in the currency.

Orange canaries in a fiat mine.

Bitcoin treasury companies show that mainstream finance is beginning to believe that what they once dismissed as paranoia was actually premonition.

Fiat collapse isn’t a matter of if, but when.
