That's the US-only version. The global version will be called 'Aeroomineeum' 🤣
It's 2026 and X expects me to create an account to watch a video one of its users swiped and uploaded from someone else's TikTok account 🤡
🤣
Just thinking it would be cool to hear a violin version of one of Slash's solo pieces from the song Estranged.
Seriously, it's like buying a no_reply email account for your mortal enemy and then signing up for his newsletter 😭
Smart washer and dryer are the worst. Haven't been so disappointed with a purchase since I bought DASH at $600 🤣
🤣
Calmly and intelligently explaining the reasons private gun ownership is beneficial and necessary has done precious little to preserve the right. It will be no different for the defense of personal privacy.
The solution to government attempts to erode personal privacy is two-pronged:
1) build tools to protect privacy, and
2) poison the hearts of the people against government secrecy
If no privacy for us, then no secrecy for you. Full stop.
God bless the leakers and whistleblowers, especially the ones who've been persecuted for it.
No shortage of Meshtastic how-to videos on YT but few that go into this much detail honestly covering both the good and bad.
Mesh-anything by its nature needs mass adoption to be useful and speaking as my inner circle's designated 'interpreter' of "nerd stuff", in its current form this has almost zero chance of mass adoption by normies, even those who are into disaster prep. Based on my initial experience, MeshCore seems to have a better chance of achieving that goal and even that may be optimistic.
Just one example: maybe I was overlooking something but never was able to figure out how to share channel settings by QR code from Android to iPhone, and it's awfully coincidental that all of the how-to videos I've seen always demo the reverse - sharing from iPhone to Android.
I agree that Meshtastic is amazing when it works but not sure if that's due more to the fact it uses affordable low power hardware or because the setup process is enough to make you want to toss it all in the trash and buy a CB radio.
Don't know the guy personally but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Jack Dorsey's motivation to create his bitchat app came from test-driving Meshtastic.
Why, did YT put the 0.5X button behind a paywall? 🤣
No matter how bad things get, Ben will always be able to find work as an auctioneer or the side-effects reader in a pharma ad 🤣
Sounds like something out of a cartoon but a thief recently robbed a Virginia jewelry store by cutting a hole in both the building's exterior wall and the back of the safe.
I don't follow her socials to know but has Senator Warren been as vocal about the energy consumption of AI as she has been about bitcoin mining?
Avalon mini 3 has a mining mode that uses full power and fan speed, and a heat mode that uses less power but because it runs at a slower fan speed, the unit itself gets significantly hotter and doesn't circulate air well in the room.
Not sure if I should run it in mining mode (ignoring the 80% rule) or heater mode with a desk fan blowing on it to help move heat.
Also tried to update the firmware and it just kept throwing E-01 error.
A little bird told me if you're shocked by the Somali welfare fraud, just wait til you see what 'Ukrainian refugees' have been up to.
⚡️🇰🇬 WATCH - A schoolboy in Kyrgyzstan went viral after walking to school through metre-deep snow.
The video caught the president’s attention, who praised the boy’s determination to learn, inviting the fourth-grader to a presidential New Year tree event and personally gifting him a laptop, a football, and his own phone.

This feels like the modern equivalent of a NatGeo camera man lightning a cigarette with his Zippo while filming a tribesman trying to start a friction fire
There's a lot I still don't understand about Meshtastic and MeshCore but I assume there's a good reason that mesh-related discussion needs to take place on a centralized social media platform as opposed to just using the mesh?
⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - James O'Keefe is vowing to investigate the "PROSECUTORS THEMSELVES" if we don't get more arrests in 2026
"Next year our work will lead to arrests, and if it doesn’t, I’m going to investigate the prosecutors themselves."
GOOD! Independent media is rising up.
If the officials responsible for investigating DON'T do their jobs, they themselves must be investigated.

Attorneys General are often referred to as the 'top cop' of the state or nation, so why aren't they forced to wear body cameras? 🤔
Thanks to Flash (and a handful of news bots), I can spend more time on Nostr and less time on sites that try to frighten us into buying crap we don't need. The killer feature of zaps and boostagrams is that in this tough economy, you're not forced to choose between donating more than you can afford or nothing at all.
Maybe add a tip of the day to the feed. How-tos or product recommendations.
Keep up the great work!
What the heck is DLR talking about?
I've looked all over this Christmas stocking and don't see a line running up the back.
Is he talking about the stitching? 🤣
⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇴 NEW - Trump just clapped back at Colombian President Petro, who accused the U.S. of being on “stolen land,” in gangster fashion:
"He's gotta watch his ass because he makes cocaine, and they send it into the U.S…he’s got factories and we know where they are.”
https://blossom.primal.net/2a89c504e3097210471f3ed50ff8dfe21ea5695c7e18f20e9aca50f3081fd9f3.mp4
"Energetic people"
It's because they have cocaine, isn't? 🤣
Five episodes isn't a season, it's a miniseries 🤣
Seems like only yesterday folks were predicting 250k by EoY 🤣
"Those who know aren't saying, and those who are saying don't know."
This touches on an issue that I don't think has been given much thought. If we view the algorithmic amplification of big tech platforms as akin to an addictive substance, it would probably be best if new users weren't forced to visit those platforms in search of guidance on the use of sovereignty tools.
Hosting your nostr/bitcoin how-tos on platforms like YouTube feels a little like having your AA meetings at the pub.
I suppose we're all guilty of casting a stumbling block before our fellow nostrich whenever we share a link to content on a big tech platform but what are the alternatives, and how many years of computer science education must one have to use them? Based on my own experiences, it's looking more and more like the road to freedom lies behind an unavoidable command prompt. Maybe the GUI itself was the start of our enslavement. If so, I'm definitely a slave on the digital plantation.
Very smart of YouTube to make it difficult to impossible for users to download video files for local archiving or sharing elsewhere. That's why I'm skeptical of 'alternative' streaming platforms that do the same. They're not acting in a manner consistent with a company that wants to free the world, but someone who wants to be the new boss.
"...$50,000 | 44,327,813 sats..."
Opportunity Cost browser extension has helped me realize I'd probably be more open to accepting a bribe if it was denominated in sats 🤣
Add murder of ideological opponents to the list of services they expect someone else to provide for free.
GM Nostr ☀️ I’m learning two new Cape Breton style tunes today — the traditional “G-Jig” and Andrea Beaton’s “Calling Kaynor”. A jig and a reel, both bright and sunny 😎 🎶
And for this week’s Wednesday #ImprovGame, I’m trying something new: instead of words, drop your favorite tune, theme, or melody in the comments, along with a zap, and I’ll make a brand new improv version of the winner’s tune ⚡️
Have a happy late summer day!

Always thought the guitar solo from this song had a bit of a fiddle vibe: https://youtu.be/5fczygyP3_c
Turned off the enhanced privacy toggle in Primal and the connection error went away.
See if she'll let me post two notes in a row...
⚡️🎙️ NEW - Joe Rogan & Bryan Callen get into a HEATED debate over autism, vaccines & mandates
https://blossom.primal.net/a6c901be517a6935ddd711f9cf82c207a3f5f0291c7cfdd6c619ccc3c262a2d4.mp4
The legal immunity thing needs to either go away or be expanded to every industry.
Honestly it would be entertaining to watch heads on both sides explode if Trump promoted the idea of a special EV court to handle injuries caused by self-driving Teslas.
There's a weird comfort in having to switch to my wallet app to zap instead of it being handled automatically by the client. Feels more real.
Android display settings be like "You can have any font size you want but if you wanna see all of the text that's on the page, you'd better choose 'Default'" 🤣
Listening to a deputy on the scanner complain to dispatch that one of the local traffic lights is taking 5+ minutes to change has me wondering if traffic lights are run by the same software as Walmart's self checkout machines.
We need somebody to reboot the traffic lights! 😂
And didn't even need a phone booth, Superman! 🤣
Do you know if it's possible to start with a pruned node then change it to full later without having to re-download the newer blocks you already got?
Chat_141 - Protocols Over Platforms with Oscar Merry
iPhone users we bullied into installing it the day before 🤣
Seriously, Apple's power management stuff must be strict as hell.
