Along with how many hours per week of exercise ?
Congratulations to Javier Milei for winning the Argentinian elections !
I usually have zero expectations from politicians to bring any significant quality of life improvement to their people, but I've been
proven wrong with Nayib Bukele once, and I would love to be proven wrong again.
Guarding my time by telling “No.” to people/activities that are time-sinks.
Main main point: not enough people I follow on Twitter are here.
A client like primal is already better than twitter for my own usage, so I’m not sure it’s a dev problem.
There are still not enough people I care to read stuff from here, so I’d say it’s more of a marketing/awareness/monetization of content issue.
I think I have been a bit unfair to nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq recently - respect the massive pressure of running a no kyc bitcoin custodian.
Sincerely hope there is never a rug.
Fair take.
Wow, just announced: Altman leaving OpenAI…
“The board of directors of OpenAI, Inc, the 501(c)(3) that acts as the overall governing body for all OpenAI activities, today announced that Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately…
Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”

More time to work on his shitcoins and his 🤡 orbs.
Halving on 4202024 please.
Most posts I make on Nostr feel to some extent like a challenge. And I post them anyway. I enjoy that challenge. I write them in part *because* they are challenging.
I'm putting uncomfortable thoughts into the decentralized Nostr void to anyone who wants to host what I say on their relay.
That's why I'm here. I'm adding my thoughts to this medium to help advance it. I write here the things I wouldn't post to the normies on Twitter/X. Only on Nostr do I embrace my weirdness and inappropriateness. I analyzed this ecosystem, and decided that you, and only you, yes you reading this who took the time to be here, deserved to see my real or "based" thoughts to the extent that you care about them. And that includes my weaknesses. I've shown those in some of my recent posts, and I'll continue to show you my weaknesses here. I wrote about the times I got rekt in a fight and cried. I'll type that kind of thing out here, and only here, on Nostr, again and again.
If I post something intellectually polarizing I start to think, "what would my followers think?" But then I'm immediately like, "I don't know. Who cares. If they hate my truths here then were they even real my followers to begin with? Maybe they need to be challenged."
Meanwhile, I *do* care what you all think in aggregate, am willing to disagree with you individually on certain topics, but want to hear your thoughts. And I'm willing to change my views based on you. In fact, many of my Twitter/X posts are there over the past years because I want to see what people comment with before I write my full-on reports. The same is likely true for Nostr. This is raw ground. I want your thoughts. I won't bend my truths toward you, and I'll challenge you, as I expect you to challenge me.
So, if someone takes the effort to be on Nostr and some how reads this, I want them in my ecosystem. I want their criticisms as much as their praise. Criticize me here. I'll enjoy it. Let's go. You're awesome.
And then I'm like "What about my business contacts?" I have like these various billionaire institutional close contacts that are richer than me but have to wear ties to work. But I mean, if they are reading this right now, they are fucking awesome. I think, any of my serious existing business contacts who are cool enough to be here, are likely people I want to continue to work with. If they don't like what I say, they can bring it up with me. Otherwise they can appreciate my rawness here, and recognize that Nostr is where I post my random thoughts or my deep thoughts, and either of which are my raw thoughts.
My goal is to be real, and to advanced this protocol.
The day that far more people are on Nostr, is the day I will practice more public moderation. Until then, and that's probably far away, it's the medium where I will drop f-bombs and describe weird situations and thoughts. Let's go.

I enjoy reading both “business Lyn” and “raw Lyn”, and I think your nostr profile pic should reflect that raw side too, IMHO.
Or at least be something different than the business one.
CBDCs will replace all fiat eventually, cash included.
Unless your grocery stores accepts Bitcoin, you won’t have any other option than having zero privacy when spending your fiat.
Meanwhile, if you’re unhappy with Acinq/Phoenix privacy policy, or for any other reason, you can choose to use any other of the dozen lightning wallets available, or you can always choose to run your own node and watchtowers for maximum privacy.
The current version of Phoenix offers no advantage regarding privacy over existing, hosted, custodial wallets. We (ACINQ) know the final destination and amount of payments.
What user info is there to harvest besides a throwaway e-mail?
99% of people will either run lightning through a custodian, or with some “node on the phone + LSP” wallet.
I’d like to know what more information WOS is getting vs what ACINQ (Phoenix) is getting, because I think it’s very similar (or even worse in the case of ACINQ if you try to open direct channels)
Best nostr web client ?
Primal was my go-to but it has some kind of memory leak and it kills the performance over time, so I’m looking forward to try some other options.
Lopp won’t stop asking me to talk about badminton now. Help. 
“Just close the fucking door.”
Nostr key security is a very good way to teach people how to properly secure their online identity, and how to properly handle a private key.
Many will fuck it up and get rekt, but better they learn that with a nostr nsec than with their Bitcoin private keys.
