Good to hear it is fake.

Sad to learn that Rabies was successful vaccine propaganda.

Credit unions watch your transactions pretty closely.

Supposed to be for "protection from fraud", which a good amount of it probably is... but credit union employees are still looking over who you spend money with and how much.

Not great for privacy.

That's just the view of nostr that is a competitor to BigTech social media.

There can be many different benchmarks of success. I'm not a fan of this "journalists breaking news" benchmark.

There's a lot more potential with nostr than the social media features.

"We have a vast ecosystem here beyond Twitter alternatives. The Other Stuff of Nostr is truly exciting."

So much potential here. I've been experimenting with integrating nostr into a 3D voxel gaming environment, both for messaging and game play.

Good morning.

... but the protocol has so much potential !!!

Thought provoking.

Physical assets, like tools, are important... but this video is comparing types of money and its purchasing power.

When I do use a mobile phone, it is usually de-googled.

I like Lineage and /e/OS

Most people people won't be using a de-googled phone, though.

I do think this is great. Good purchase! Pastured eggs are worth paying Bitcoin for!

However, one thing that I am noticing as I read more of the social notes on nostr is that almost everyone is using mobile phones for wallets and purchases.

As someone with experience with tech privacy, this seems to be a major weak point. Mobile phones are notorious for spying on the actions of the user and reporting them. If you mistakenly give a phone app the ability to record your screen (screenshot), then having your crypto seed phrase just visible on the phone could lead to the loss of whatever is in that wallet.

I just can't see crypto-currency as safe to use while using a device controlled by BigTech (Apple, Google, Microsoft).

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Microsoft OneDrive is such a pain to work with.

In addition to Microsoft being able to look at an analyze your files, the syncing and interface for working with OneDrive is confusing.

I'm helping get a customer's data off one drive and saved locally. There's not enough room on his little HP Stream laptop (only 64GB of storage that is not replaceable or upgradeable).

There's no way to just download all the files from the web interface. Have to jump through hoops to manually set the OneDrive folder to an external drive and then force OneDrive to download all the files to that. But it'll crash if uploading and downloading at the same time and it is making " - Copy" versions of all the files and uploading with no way to stop it that I can see.

So I have to wait.

Please don't use OneDrive. Save yourself some headache.

Brainstorming some really fun nostr ideas with my team.

Can't wait to start showing you some of our progress!

Agreed. Nostr does not need a token.

It was one of Anthony Chaffee's interviews that got me to take the idea of "mostly not plants" seriously.

He's been the primary influence for my decision to make changes.

I also highly recommend his videos!

Probably creating division and angst between family members. I've certainly internalized some of this and it becomes easy to become angry at my parents because of that.

That's not always right, because my parents did work hard.

My take on that is that it was more likely for their hard work to pay off than it is for people now (because of the money supply inflation situation).

It's totally okay for people to work on similar nostr ideas and goals. They may approach it from a different angle, or use different technologies.

As long as they know about each other, they will influence each other. If the code is available to look at, they can see how the other dev did something.

It isn't necessary for them to be buddies or be in tight communication.

Also, people like you (story teller of nostr) can help with that process of discovery by writing and talking about projects so that devs are aware of them.

Well done!

Such an important message.

There's likely a logical conflict in those configuration files. The solution is likely to combine them into one.

Feel free to DM me the details and I'll see if I can help.

Would be good to chat with you about how you see nostr and monero working together.

I am much more interested in the nostr network and how the protocol works than I am in Bitcoin.

I'm not adversarial to Bitcoin, but it is nostr that gets me interested from a tech perspective and Monero from a business perspective.
