Epic Games sues Google & Samsung for blocking it's new store
Epic Games makes the fun Fortnite game,
Samsung made the physical phone,
Google made the Play Store to leech huge fees, like 20%
Originally Epic sued Google, and Epic WON for their Monopoly of the Play store and ridiculous fees. So Epic made their own "store" to distribute games. [1]
Despite the court ruling against them, corrupt Google and Samsung automatically block the Epic Games app, unless the user is smart enough to figure out how to turn it on in the settings. [2]
Google's propaganda team spews dribble about this being for security purposes, but as we reported earlier, the Play store has such rampant malware, that Google had to abandon it's security bounties because it couldn't afford to keep up. [3]
Now Epic games AGAIN is taking Google and Samsung to court to sue them over blocking their new store.

The run a website which serves you the password prompt.
Do you inspect this source code every single time you login?
logic is to point out that proton encourages centralization
and they are not doing "real" PGP
trust it for what?
private payments, no
metamask, no
but for DNS or apps, maybe. would have to see the use-case
Protonmail & Monero both have the motto of "Privacy of Default"
The difference is that if everyone used Proton,
It would be centralizing the metadata to a single legal entity that responds to requests, and controls the web app’s password prompt.
While as if everyone used Monero,
well...
privacy by default
Do you struggle to convince politically-left normies to use Nostr ?
Do your left-leaning friends insist you talk to them on WhatsApp?
You try to explain that it’s censorship resistant, but they are so brainwashed that they think anything being censored must be fake news. Well guess what, now even criticism of the right is being censored!
Hackers got new documents on the Trump campaign. And in there is controversial material on JD Vance. Now Meta is blocking all links to the documents. While you can point out to your friends that when Wikileaks had dirt on Hillary Clinton it was allowed to stay up.
Tell your friends that you want to send the link, but you can’t. And if they care about the “fabric of their democracy”, they have to join Nostr and encrypted messengers like SimpleX, Session, or Signal.

Actually you'll be happy to hear, that it's use is nearly identical to a regular Android. I know you said you use an iPhone, but Android is not that difficult, it's just F-Droid and Google Play for the store. And most of the same apps.
You would benefit from this educational video from our team:
Never talk to the Police
In his viral video with 20 million views,
James Duane makes the surprising case for why you should never talk to the police:
A few of his many arguments are:
--They can and do lie about anything, including the law
--They can and do take things way out of context to hurt you, including exaggerating even your tone or pauses
--Even if you think you've done nothing wrong, it can and does lead to convictions:
--You may have unknowingly committed a crime, and you just admitted to it.
--You may bring up erroneous but believable evidence even if you're innocent
His core thesis is:
There is NOTHING TO GAIN by talking to the police, You CAN'T talk your way out of being arrested.
What you say CAN'T be used to HELP you, it CAN'T be submitted at trial, the judge would dismiss it as "hearsay". Police and lawyers have confirmed, that NEVER ONCE did talking to the police help avoid an arrest.
But there is EVERYTHING TO LOSE, as they can twist and contort literally anything you say into a crime.
Numerous legal scholars and even police officers have agreed with his views, causing it go viral even though the mainstream media will never tell you about it. Get this suppressed knowledge now, and smash the repost to help our fellow nostr family members,

It's their god-given right to say it.
Mastodon:
If you don't ban that meme, we will isolate you from society
Nostr:
So? Just don't follow that guy. Why should I accept a moderator for MY content, just because THAT guy is dumb? If you think about it, taking away my freedoms over that guy, is like the very slavery you claim to be against.
BlueSky:
We've got a meeting next week to decide IF we'll either ban you, or actually federate the servers. And then we'll send out emails apologizing on your behalf.
Farcaster:
We're developing a new decentralized-AI-moderation protocol powered by pooping-llama coin. This revolutionary new coin is hosted on users' computers in return for rewards, and cracks down on racism. Buy it now!

The CIA kills brown-people every day and nobody cares. You care about typing words, more than actual genocide?! I'll use any language I have to for you to read it nigger.
Yes we can do 256G, but not at the exact same discount. If you're serious about ordering, send me a DM with your country and I can get a price quote for you. Thank you
Sure, but not sure when or what the pricing would be
