I’ve been told the following is a conspiracy and not aligned to the broader progressive movement

Well maybe the progressive movement needs to change, because that’s pretty fucked up 🙃

Here’s what I said to elicit this response

“The cover up of Epstein will continue. Everyone knows he was a government asset (multiple governments) and details involve at least hundreds of powerful individuals and institutions from around the world.

It’s a disgusting and grave injustice, get louder. #Epstein #Epsteinfiles

All my comments seem to be censored from primal 🤣🤣🤣 youll have to use another client, primal isnt nostr

8s are fine, especially if you have it already or want the cheapest option.

Both 9 and 10 are marginal improvements in build quality, performance, battery, and they will receive updates for one or two years longer (standard is 7 years official support from google, Graphene usually supports even longer)

This is incredibly concerning. He was essentially working on a etheric energy research similar to Tesla.

He was shot to death in a wealthy neighborhood in Massachusetts, in his home.

This was a targeted assassination not just a random robbery

It appears now that the enshittification of X is absolute and irrevocable – more than it has ever been in the past. It is the poster child for the dead internet theory.

To the bitcoiners who still spend more time there than on nostr, I have a very simple question: why?

Why are you clinging on to the last vestiges of your spent influence like driftwood? It’s over. The music has stopped.

When you level up your tumbler game but it’s hard to let go of your old bottle 🥹

You think this is a real game? 🤣

How can/does Nostr add lasting value to people's lives who choose it? #asknostr

With geographically dispersed keys

when a vibe coder shows up a dev meetup

You think this is a real game? 🤣

Steam games are getting a bit too real.

Ooof sounds tough. Thinking of hot rocks I am sure helps. :)

Not really. Holding a prayer. Trump did say they will look into it tho.

It will have its impact, but nothing compared to Bitcoin because decentralised protocols require more time to upgrade, and signature size impacts Bitcoin a lot more.

It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switching to a different VPN or switching the country of the VPN works; other times it does not. Oh well, I guess I'm not going to watch that video, or read that article, or look at that picture. Whatever.

In addition to that, if I'm not blocked completely, I have to prove that I'm human every step of the way. Captchas, re-captchas, Cloudflare checkboxes, the whole shebang. I am human. I promise. And I am very annoyed. Outright angry, even. I doubt that any robot will ever be as annoyed as I am right now about the current state of the internet.

What annoys me most, actually, is that all these measures don't really work. There's bots everywhere. Robots get access to the stuff anyway, using farms of humans, just like in the good old days of WoW gold farming. The centralized "safety" nets of Cloudflare et al brought down large swaths of the internet multiple times in the last couple of weeks alone, and as things centralize more and more these outages will happen more and more.

I'm very close to breaking up with the legacy internet. I'm human, I can cryptographically prove that I'm human, and I have sats to spend. But the legacy internet doesn't care about that. It cares about farming me and my data, while annoying me to no end. I've been nostr only for a while now, but that was only on the "social media" side. 2026 might be the year where I go nostr-only for everything, or to phrase it slightly differently: permissionless for everything.

No more "are you human?"

No more "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No more cookie banners, paywalls, and AI slop.

No more being treated like a child.

Even if it means that I'll have to self-host everything.

Even if it means that I'll have to build & maintain stuff myself.

Even if it means that it's a lot of work and pain.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

But the easy stuff is not worth having in the first place.

Here's to the year to come, and the new corner of the internet, build on cryptography and webs-of-trust. Real value. Real connections. Real humans.

Here's to nostr.

Sounds cold. What do you use for heating in the cool seasons?

welcome back to nostr, security-conscious bitcoiner with a security key who just got locked out of X 🙌

I miss it. It's been a while since I was there. Why you cold?

Did I ever state how much i hate shopping for clothes.
