I have an old MacBook on which I might like to try installing StartOS.
I would save the contents of the computer to an external hard drive first, but here’s what I’m wondering:
When installing a new OS on an existing machine, does it replace the old OS and all the contents? Or does it create a “split” of sorts, such that when you boot up the computer you can choose which OS to run, and access all the content on the specified system?
Just trying to figure out if I’ll be able to “use” the old MacBook as it was, after I install StartOS, or if it’s a complete overhaul and “no going back”, in which case I’d be much more careful about backing up the old hard drive.

In general you would be wiping the original OS and replacing it with StartOS.
If you want them side by side one option might be installing StartOS to an external drive so you leave your original hard drive totally intact. I've done that to run linux on a mac mini in the past.
Once you experience the freedom of Nostr, it's hard to go back to closed and centralized platforms. However, for some it can be hard to abandon years of hard work and content that you've created on them. nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spzpmhxue69uhnzdps9enrw73wd9hszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4eszynhwden5te0wfjkccte9enrw73wd9hsxv8qkt aims to fix that pain point with his Exit app. This tool will help you export your old Twitter data and import your tweets into Nostr. #NostrOnly
I had the same issues with kiwi and Nos2x.
Now I'm using fennic (fdroid's firefox build) with alby and haven't had any issues logging in with nostr site, including nostr.build using nip-07
There is some serious uncanny valley happening here.
I think you need to find your Reason to stop (the kind that has a capital R). Something that's worth more to you than the next cigarette.
Mine was my son being born. My last* cigarette was outside the hospital a few hours after my wife was admitted.
(*I've had a handful over the last 20 years, usually out drinking with friends)
LINDA AND ELON LEGIT THINK MOST X USERS ARE RETARDED. MAYBE THEY ARE RIGHT.
THOSE OF US WHO CAN SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT WILL CONTINUE BUILDING OUT NOSTR. A TRULY FREE GLOBAL TOWN SQUARE IS NECESSARY.

I just.... Wow.
Suing groups for not wanting to give you billions of dollars to run your shitty platform.
If I remember right Vine died(got shutdown by twitter, so maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9uhxtnyd9nkwmm09e3k7mgprpmhxue69uhkvet9v3ehgu3wdehhxarjxyhxxmmdqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndd9jxgmrfdenjumtev3h8xtn2wqergaw8 could provide clarity ) after the popular people left because they didn't monitize and youtube and insta did.
Tiktok succeeds because it is like a skinner box for creators. Or maybe a gatcha game would be more appropriate since it's Chinese. Creators just keep pumping out content and praying to the algo that they strike it big.
Myspace died when Fox bought and enshitified it.
It's a library program that can connect to most ereaders and converts between different ebook formats.
Unless something has changed you should be able to do it with Calibre.
Yes, if you can get the fees down. I like Aqua wallet, but the fees just don't make sense for transactions less tha 2000 sats.
We just dropped a new self-custodial Bitcoin wallet. Early access details here: https://proton.me/blog/proton-wallet-launch
Welcome to nostr!
That is a very hard call. Gotta go with all of the above.
I would love this feature.
It's one of my favorite things about tumblr.
Found him :)
The letter is from 2020, when $70 could still get you a million sats.
We should have listened to this guy https://video.nostr.build/e1684f011b1076f782bac8695db0c15cd1d9b643faa26e875939c38499b07551.mp4
I can't remember his name, but he has many fantastic videos on tiktok and youtube.
For realsies tho it is The House of the Book in southern california.

It's like coding in the back of a volkwagon.
It's a mild abrasive and other properties that help keep the mouth gross away.
Easiest is a 1:1 water/baking soda paste, but there other things you can add in for taste ( it taste pretty awful ) like a drop of peppermint oil.
