Terrible effect on wildlife and pets. https://www.treehugger.com/fireworks-have-long-lasting-impact-on-wild-birds-7089635
I see it in my neighbourhood where illegal fireworks are a weekly thing. Birds are flying in droves panicked at random nighttimes.
Of course. French politicians are notoriously shit at dealing with social conflicts. Think "fighting fire with gasoline" shit. And yes their communication skills are terrible.
And french police is notoriously bad at remaining professional and proportionate. Regardless of who is protesting. Even more since they are already exhausted from the last social strife in feb-march.
The problem is how they can restore law and order before it gets worse (like in 2005) and without causing another violent death among teenagers. Which would start a new cycle.
You weren't. "Can you please explain a bit more in detail?" would have worked better.
Others gave elements of the story. All in all, a violent crime was commited by a policeman with the victim being a teenager. Maybe on racist grounds (unclear at this point).
There was an attempted cover up with a false testimony by the policemen.
Other kids from the victim's neighborhood started rioting. A video of the events was circulated, causing shock and anger. The riots spread to the whole country.
Every other aspect of the story is politics and therefore biased or most likely ignorant.
You have no idea. Still you wrote a whole pamphlet on the topic.
Protests have taken place as far back I remember (early 80s) every time a racist cop killed a black or north african kid in france. And they turned violent about every fucking time.
Lately the violence has been getting worse. 3rd generation migrants are less peaceful than their grand parents. You could say patience has run out.
What is happening in France, in a nutshell? nostr:npub1llfht66qadyxv44q9rkmequztav07r2ufgd6ytl8w3wjs3ffa5yqy398ja
Simple. Police brutality led to civil unrest.
Everything else is bullshit sociology or party politics disguising as context.
Used brainpower and there is an algo where 11 is the next number. It'a bit cheeky to refuse answers that work mathematically because they're not the "right" answer. What is this? An art question?
Would not wantto pay to see. Pay to post would be conceivable. Also didn't want to pay for poll. I'm just a cheap bastard.
Please, no.
No bait and switch business models. First, it would be voluntary then by default then next to impossible to remove.
This would just invite forks.
So we can go back to 50 pages of terms and conditions that you consent to without reading and leave you completely exposed anyway?
Just a Nostr pleb here but isn't that setting completely subjective standards and therefore adding politics into it?
How can we have clients competing for the best experience and most features, within the rules of the NIPs, while at the same time asking for all-vs-all compatibility?
Not with this attitude, you won't.
I'm just a Nostr pleb but a client (Damus) complains about events following a merged NIP and clealry states that they won't adhere to the agreed-upon standard. On an open protocol where clients are expected to "compete" for users.
There's no way Damus devs can win this argument or this race for users and features.
If nostr was a startup most people here today would not have come. Starting with me. And so it would have nowhere near the community and tools it has. So no. This is something else altogether.
Did you know that 99.9% of all species are already extinct?
Life has existed on Earth for 3,400,000,000 years. Lots of stuff has evolved, lived, died and gone extinct. Life on Earth has survived over 50 celestial deep impacts of 10km+ impactors, each one radically and violently changing the environment.
A 1,000 times more species have evolved and then disappeared before us, than exist today.
Nature is an insanely powerful system, keep this in mind when you are spoon fed environmental doom porn or any kind of apocalyptic vision.
Earthlings are tough as hell and are pretty much as old as the planet itself.

Seems unlikely. Most species on earth are bacteria, archea ( and fungi). Many persist since several hundred million years or more. And the concept of species is anyway not clearly defined for prokaryotes.
Animals are a tiny fraction of diversity despite the huge biomass.
Lyn, why are they chosing not to settle in physical gold?
Is it because the Chinese want to import things for cheap at the risk of weakening revenue from exports?
Or is it because paper gold (controlled by Westerners) is distorting the price of physical gold too much?
Or they are willing to go to max pain as long as they weaken USD and USA's standard of living?
Thank you 🫡

- let a user download their own data for backup
- let other relays obtain the meta-history of a pubkey to reward good behaviour and punish bad behaviour specific to a relay
