are the folks who run good and beefy paid relays generally running a profit, or are you having a hard time? I would hope there'd be enough economic incentive to keep these running by now
In my day-to-day life, I have to speak a lot of German. Social settings, the gym, the cafe, restaurants, family get-togethers, and with friend groups. It’s not my native language, but I try my best to acclimate.
I’m always self-conscious, because most the people I meet are getting only a reduced version of me: the migrant version trying his best to use proper grammar, be able to tell a story or a joke without pause, or intellectually keep up with parts of the conversation.
I feel like switching back to english is a cop-out, and as if I’ve failed in my attempt to “fit in” in a European country as a Canadian abroad
The cleavages are many, and mostly exist in our head and social media, and not in physical communities. That leads me to be more optimistic than not.
It’s wild how I tune out for like 2 months and now there are all these new V4V products

🤐Gag rules on Suspicious Activity Reports compel financial institutions to keep the fact that they're being investigated from customers.
It's also principally how you're de-banked and never told the reason why. How about Bitcoin and crypto firms that custody your funds?
A new Senate bill would apply the same for crypto institutions (+ custodians) and lower reporting threshold to just $2,000.
This means bitcoin + crypto custodians would be more regulated than fiat banks.
I will attempt to sum this up in an article opposing this bill, and I'll be sharing with the legislative staff of both of these Senators.
We won't comply.
We're excited to announce a new initiative to get creators and journalists on to Nostr. This is a project organized by nos.social with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x, nostr:npub13myx4j0pp9uenpjjq68wdvqzywuwxfj64welu28mdvaku222mjtqzqv3qk, nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955, and nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q. The goal is to get a diversity of content on to nostr and show those creators and journalists that the nostr model of zaps and the new subscription content over nostr is a better alternative to centralized advertising driven platforms. #value4value
Please share this with creators and journalists you know who are already on Nostr and also those who might want to join. This will include both getting these folks on to the nostr apps which make sense for them, setting them up with a wallet, teaching them how to be successful on nostr, and importantly promoting them through a bunch of channels on nostr so they can build and audience.
We don't have the deep pockets of meta and tiktok, nor their powerful AI driven algorithms, but we've got something that can be more powerful, people.
Creators and Journalists know they're stuck sharecropping on centralized platforms that can demonetize or delete or just shadow ban their accounts. One day their content gets broadcast to the world, the next the algorithm doesn't even show it to their followers. Their revenue is dependent on getting a cut from an opaque and arbitrary advertising system.
So, share these links, if you're a creator or journalist sign up, and when we start promoting these folks on nostr, check out what they're doing and if you like it, send them zaps. This is open to both existing nostr creators and journalists and new ones we'll onboard.
Just a note: the URL for the testflight is incorrect. You've got an extra "itms-beta" before the https

Easy tell if your politicians are about to make you poorer with anti-innovation legislation:

unsure what to think.
I use both services, Proton and Standard Notes. Disintermediating these for both my communication and notes was always a strength.
As with its acquisition of SimpleLogin, Proton is becoming more powerful as a privacy company, and integrating a lot of tools and services that could be beneficial for consumers.
At the same time, it risks becoming a single point of failure for end-to-end encrypted services that many of us rely on. Standard Notes has a benefit of being open source and self-hostable, so I do hope this remains true going forward.
