Compare the projected population trends of the US and China. China is in for some rough times ahead.

This is the 2024 Presidential Election match up I’m expecting to see.

Glad to see the US Dept of Energy encouraging discussions like these about removing roadblocks towards expanding nuclear energy

IMPORTANT: If you are here because you see Nostr as a censorship-resistant alternative and the beacon of free speech, YOU MUST READ THIS. Something bad is going on, and you should be aware of it. It affects every user on Nostr.

First: Please, only utilize the 'Report' feature in extreme cases. Instead, prioritize using the 'Mute/Block' option when necessary. This is a humble request to all the IOS & Android users 🙏

Because we have a very huge problem and it's not a bug. Let me elaborate:

Regardless of where you choose to report, your 'report' will censor that person not just for you but "all of your followers" who use Amethyst. It only takes five reports from 'following user' to censor the individual "for you" without your intent and knowledge. No matter which client the censored user is using, they will be censored for Amethyst users after reports.

Amethyst users don't even have an option to turn off this setting. This is really messed up. Any five users I am following can censor any person for me, and I can't do anything about it. This is ridiculous.

By the way, don't make any mistake here, it's not a bug, it's by design. I raised this issue with Vitor many times. I respect his work, but there has been no meaningful response regarding this. In fact, he wants you to learn coding and do it by yourself.

I don't intend to call out any person; I just want to spread awareness. Maybe you like this feature idk but you deserve to know what's exactly happening and make informed decisions.

Btw, You don't have to share this exact post, but please let people around you know what's happening. So they can participate in this debate.

Ironic that this move basically makes it so a client acts like a mastodon instance Admin. I’d much rather we let users choose who to mute

A depiction of Italian cartographer Toscanelli’s speculation that the Chinese (Cathay) mainland and Japan (Cippangu) were a straight shot across the Atlantic.

In light blue you see the real landmasses that the Europeans would soon learn about.

Columbus used this map as one of his sources for why sailing westward would allow a direct trade link to East Asia

The Isabella Gardner art museum is super cool, and at night you should check out the Improv Asylum in the north end! It’s so funny and always a good time. a nice bonus is you’ll already be near the north ends awesome restaurants and bakeries
