OPENSATS SENDS YOU A SHIT TON OF BITCOIN EVERY MONTH AND HAS FOR YEARS.

WORK MY ASS OFF TO GET YOU FUNDING AND YET ALL YOU DO IS TALK SHIT ABOUT ME.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

— Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

WELL THAT IS FUCKING BRUTAL PRESTON.

The damus lightning node made $116 from routing $18,194 worth of payments this year. We also made $21,000 from lightning purple subscriptions, which helped paid a portion of daniel's salary (our only part-time employee).

It aint much, but it's a start. With purple, HRF, and OpenSats, Damus has been able to build out slowly without VC funds. Hopefully we can keep this up. I thought this was going to be our last year but the LTS funds kept the dream alive a little longer.

Clients have got a *lot* better, but we're still insanely early. nostr is going to continue to get better and better. People will continue getting deplatformed on bluesky, activitypub and the big tech silos. We are one of the few lines of defense against internet censorship and government tyranny, and the first large scale experiment that enables true value for value transfer between sovereign individuals online.

This movement is just beginning, and ya'll are on the front line.

️Looking forward to spending another year with you psychos 🫡

Having the same thoughts and opinions as the majority locks you into some sort of mental pattern where you can’t deviate. You become locked like an npc, but it also becomes easy to route around you.

My husband and I flew back from Dubai to Cairo today, on Christmas.

When we got home, my mother in law and father in law (who are Muslim) had a surprise waiting for us: a Christmas tree set up in our wing of the home.

They took the time to decorate it themselves, too. The whole place feels so festive now. People can be so cool and thoughtful.

Anyway, GM and Merry Christmas.

I MAY NOT ALWAYS BE RIGHT BUT I WILL ALWAYS CALL THINGS AS I SEE THEM AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN I GET THINGS WRONG.

it would be nice if any list would have a way to filter it by user post frequency. this would be like an algo modifier for a list 🤔.

for instance, lets say I have a list of interesting people but one person posts wayyy more than the others, I don't want to drown out everyone else, but I still want things contained to a list/column. there should be a way to add an algo tab/filter that organizes based on user post frequency.

having to manually manage this would be annoying, so it would be nice if this was just a modifier on any list.

started working on this in notedeck today!

During the bear market I stopped drinking alcohol, stopped watching porn, deleted Twitter, stopped playing videogames, and stopped going on dates with women I wouldn't want to marry.

I started meditating, praying, going to the gym, focusing on my health, focusing on relationships, and focusing on training my dogs.

In the process I accumulated more bitcoin than I have ever had before.

I am grateful and I deeply appreciate all of you 💜🧡

WOULD STACK THIS DIP BUT ALREADY ALL IN.

Hey guys!

My name is Anna!

I‘d like I use this tool to give a meaningful insight into my work as a full-time somatic bodyworker. To share about my experiences, things that are mirrored to me (… and things I can hardly tolerate).

Just to let you know: Behind this profile is a woman who has a hard time to come in terms with how little is done for us (wo)men to be able to thrive and to stand in our power and crystalline clarity - in a strong yet gentle and soft way. So, it is a great wish of mine to give those (wo)men a voice.

I am here to accompany you on your journey out of survival mode into creating and living a life where you are not afraid to feel deeply connected to everything. To reconnect to your body, your emotions, your feelings. To be able to lean in into the full range of our emotions is what makes us feel alive and free - even if it sometimes appears to you like a mess. When you are able to access this freedom within, you can radiate it out into the world and to your loved ones. It all starts with yourself.

Thus, this is a place where I give myself permission to express freely. And I am happy to read about your comments, thoughts and respectful criticism. This is the way we grow together as a collective. So show yourself!

For the purpose of clarity: This page is not intended to serve as an individual guideline for you. Please question everything, observe where your mind goes and feel into your heart if it resonates with you. Stay in your sovereignty. There is not such a thing as “being wrong” with your feelings and insights. We are all on our individual journeys, yet we all want to feel wholeness. And this wholeness manifests in many different, beautiful ways. Let’s appreciate this vastness!

So here we go! I am happy to have you here.
