Cool website with open source alternatives to most known software. I found it very useful. Funnily enough, they don't mention Nostr there yet!
Agreed. It's a pity more Android apps don't allow apps like nsec.app . Same thing with primal. I don't know why
Obtainium is good, but don't forget to verify the signatures of the release before you install stuff. Most people put the SHA256 hash of their release on their GitHub. You can verify with Hash Checker on Android for example. Don't trust, verify
Another excellent episode of Citadel dispatch by nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx with nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg. Updates on Bitchat, Whitenoise, cashu, etc. Highly recommend. And stream some stats with nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 while you listen!
"The Nazi metaphysics and epistemology preach mind-sacrifice, thereby removing facts and thought (reality and reason) from the Führer’s path. The Nazi ethics completes the job: by preaching self-sacrifice, it removes morality from his path. The result is the destruction on every level of the possibility of individual self-assertion. The graduate of the Nazi epistemology asks: “Who am I to know?” His counterpart in ethics asks: “Who am I to know what is right?” Both give the same answer, the one absolute of their anti-absolutist mentality: “No man is an island. The Volk, or the Führer, knows best.
SS Captain Josef Kramer, the Beast of Belsen, was asked at the Nuremberg trials what his feelings were on a certain day in August 1943, when he had personally stripped and then gassed eighty women at the Natzweiler camp. He replied: “I had no feelings in carrying out these things because I had received an order to kill the eighty inmates in the way I already told you. That, by the way, was the way I was trained.”43
If one fully understands this answer of Josef Kramer, in a manner that Kramer himself perhaps did not, if one understands “the way he was trained”—trained on the deepest of all levels, at the core of his person, i.e., trained philosophically —one need look no further for the explanation of Nazism. What other practical result could anyone expect from a man or a culture shaped to the roots by every imaginable variant of the soul-killing ideas of a century of mind-killing, ego-killing philosophy?"

"You cannot force intelligence to work: those who’re able to think, will not work under compulsion; those who will, won’t produce much more than the price of the whip needed to keep them enslaved."
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957
I’m so happy to be here with you, Nostr.

Welcome! 🫂
I just want to point out that 116k = 2 x 58k
Ayn Rand on 1962 on the need for deregulating the economy as much as possible, as fast as possible, wherever possible, but warning about the disastrous consequences of doing it overnight when already so many people are dependent on the state. 63 years later it is so much worse. It's very interesting to see Milei being the closest embodiment of this principle in Argentina

Thanks for this review, very interesting
Stay safe out there folks.

Though, I don't believe nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg has listed this on Google Play. I believe it's only on GitHub and nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8.

Incidentally this is also a great follow lost in the comments
I deactivated my X account yesterday (partially) because I needed a mental health break
But the main reason, was because bull market twitter is so fucking gay
I spent 10 minutes scrolling yesterday. I kid you not, every single post was either a bunch posers gooning out in all-caps over the price going up 4%, or it was a circlejerk of scammers spamming "Paper Bitcoin Summer" over and over and over
There's no signal over there anymore. Yesterday was the moment I realized X was no longer bringing me any value to my life, so I just deleted it
Maybe I will come back to X in the bear, when all of these carnival barkers get wiped out. But until then, nostr:npub1glqqq2czzjlzc4rqq5lsccllk3xq3q00l76yu3j28hednk7yvdmqlq7jxa is officially on a hiatus.
That's nice now please set up some zaps so I can zap you 😄
Wait when did Odell stop posting in all caps? Wtf? This is not what I paid for
Very excited about Blossom. Heard about it on nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, and want to find out more about it
The man is a phenomenon. Has over 1000 publications including books, articles and chronicles. Now at age 95 launched a website to promote critical thinking. Unbelievable

By 1923, things were really already out of control. That menu has too few zeros... I recommend "When money dies", great book about the Weimar hyperinflation
Nice to see. Despite other poor takes, he is a physicist after all, he knows energy is abundant. He also knows miners don't pollute the air. People don't give him enough credit for that
It's always a pleasure listening to it. Congrats!
It's a Christmas miracle folks! 🎄 🎁
Celebrating my 2 year anniversary of creating a Nostr key pair. Insane to see how much it has improved since then!
Wow. Thanks for sharing
Not bad 😎 keep em coming!
Great news, I love fountain but was also experiencing issues on my Android. Reported the issues, and got feedback the next day. You guys are awesome. By the way, any chance you can lower the minimum sat streaming threshold to lower than 10 sats/min? I listen to podcasts every single day and I'm going bankrupt 😂
Who is John Galt?
PSA: read the book Atlas Shrugged. Do it, right now. Do it like your life depends on it
