It seems that it will be very hard for Brazil to identify and enforce the fines on VPN usage for Twitter/X. But it’s a powerful scare tactic.

When the United States banned gold ownership in the1930s (which lasted for four decades all the way into the 1970s btw), they didn’t really enforce it at the household level. They just had large prison terms that were rarely ever applied, which effectively dried up liquidity in the gold market.

Some people have pointed out that Nostr relays could be blocked by Brazilian internet providers if Nostr was big enough to matter. However, more relays could spin up, so they’d have to keep adding to the list.

Brazil’s government could then say it’s illegal to use VPNs for any Nostr app around internet censoring. The defense against that is to make Nostr as ubiquitous as possible. The more apps that tie into Nostr in some way, the harder it is to ever ban it in practice. Some people might not even know their favorite app uses Nostr. Imagine if everyone’s favorite short form app, long form app, podcasting app, reviews app, wallet app, recipes app, picture app, music app, and tons of other stuff are tied into Nostr, and how hard that would be to ban.

If Nostr becomes big enough to really matter, it’s because it’ll be tied into so many different things. That’s super powerful. And the devs keep building rapidly.

one of my fav features is the phone call recording feature, so good for meetings.

I switched to Kobo readers and Calibre with DeDRM plugin. I was able to finally own all my past Amazon books.

I was not using anonymous even. I even had to KYC with an ID for marketplace order, because that would make them money transmitter.

How did you manage an anonymous account though? I think they need a credit card that's on your name and prepaid cards don't work. Before you can use an anonymous payment method.

Thinking about kissing. My first kiss was with a bully. That sucked. My second kiss was with my first love. That kinda sucked too. I was expecting something like magic or passion, but I felt nothing but his stubble.

I wonder about my last kiss sometimes. I hope that doesn’t suck. I have a feeling it won’t.

That's why I immediately removed Google's operating system and installed GrapheneOS on it.

I probably say 40-50% of what I wanna say on here cause I'm scared of the permanency. Nothing controversial I just wanna talk about my feelings 😅 But by nature those should be fleeting... What I personally want in social media that's hard to find (unless I hide my identity I suppose, but I don't want that either) is the ability to talk more freely and openly about my personal experiences, but as someone with a lot of self-criticism, the willingness to be open certainly feels hindered by #nodelete

On X, the people who make #Bitcoin price predictions and “analyze” get the majority of the attention and followers.

On Nostr, the people who are too busy *building and creating* to make price predictions or “analyze” get the majority of the attention and followers.

This tells you a lot about value and incentives.

Anyway, good morning to the builders and creators 🤙
