The President is still a dictator, but he seems to want people in charge of their own lives. I know everyone is ok with him rounding up all the MS-13 gang scum, but being able to do that tells you the gov't is still under the thumb of a dictator.
I'm trying to figure out how to sign into the Client called Primal.. The site looks good, but I can't follow till signed in, and can't seem to find a way to sign in?? What am I missing?
I've got Primal loaded up, but never use it for some reason. I'll have to go see if my follow group is hiding over there. My guess, probably not because like you said, it happens across all Clients.. I won't even start using my phone.
Yep, everyone does. #[1]
I hope I'm wrong.. For the last two days, my Follow list doesn't populate. If I go to follow a new Nostr'er, I'm told I'll belete all those I follow. So where'd they all go? I tend to like iris.to & astral.ninja as my clients and neither have my Follow list up and running..
Milton Friedman,
Question to him: Who is responsible for inflation?
Quote, “ Inflation is made in Washington because only Washington can create money. And any other attribution of an to other groups of inflation is wrong. Consumers don’t produce it. Producers don’t produce it. The Trade Unions don’t produce it. Foreign Shieks don’t produce it. Oil imports don’t produce it. What produces it is too much government spending and government creation of money and nothing else. “
He had a way of explaining important economic principles in easy to understand words..
Remember these words as you watch your food prices. How many more paper dollars do you have to pull out of the wallet today, that would have stayed in your pocket a couple short years ago, for the same product?
It seems once in awhile you have to purge relays.. Could there be a bunch of Communist type relays looking to overrun Nostr, keeping your following/global feeds from populating if they don't like what you're posting?
Beautiful, but I think we can find contentment in lots of different places. This place for sure!!

The Global Green Socialist Deep State, the GGSDS, needs a war. They need a reason to continue to destroy our wealth by continuing to print money's value away. This is the way they will control you. Without your money, you are in chains. Without an emergency to keep your focus away from destroying your money, they cannot reach their Green New Deal, their one world socialist gov't.
Mentally these folks can be whom they want, but don't expect to force others to think they're any more 'special' than the next person. Don't expect you can force others to believe. Biology is pretty darn absolute. Like math.
You should get involved in getting gov't money out of the educational system, and getting rid of the Dept. Of Indoctrination (Education) altogether.

The Global Green Socialist Deep State (GGSDS) member just deciding what the citizen can see and say. It's been their plan all along. Our Constitution is protecting us from this type tyranny. Macron is the enemy of free thinking French people.
Me too.. Most every time I'm Nostr'ing
With the technology of today, toll booths won't be needed.. You'll have a chip of some type embedded in the vehicles, and you'll be logged on and off as you drive. I use a private road in my area. No toll booth and there's no chip in my car. What there is is a license plate, mine, that gets scanned as I drive and a couple days later, I get a bill of use in the mail. Free markets work and if a problem comes up, those with skin in the game find an answer.
And that ultimatum will never be reversed. Power hungry politicians have the Aussies by the short hairs.
I can't understand how Aussie folks voted away their own guns.. they're screwed if the GGSDS decides to close down their country again. Soon, your bank accounts will be under the tyrant's control. How do you get your liberty back once it's taken from you?
Once you start following a good sized group of people, ya almost forget it's followers and not the Global feed. Just lots of stuff to read through.. It's great being on Nostr.
Well, I haven’t done an #introduction since joining Nostr, and nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac said it was like confession, which tickled my Catholic heart, so here it is.
I’m a software engineer/jack-of-all-trades who specializes in industrial controls and automation software. 3D visualizations, motion control, network and IPC communication, serializing large datasets, stuff like that. It’s incredibly boring work that does really cool things.
I started coding when I was 12, and was working full time by age 14. Interesting story there for another time. I was provoked to learn how to code when my friends all got Tamogatchi’s (those digital demons) and my parents could not afford to get me one. Determined to not be left out, I endeavored to write one for myself. I started on MS-DOS 6.22, with QBasic. About two months later, I had an ASCII art creature that I could feed, and it shit all over my screen. Close enough.
With child like enthusiasm, and with an old computer, I decided to jump straight from that to programming my own version of Windows in QBasic. I’m sure I don’t need to explain why that didn’t work, but I did succeed in making a multi-modal user interface toolkit for terminals (yep, still ASCII… I learned about Turbo Vision much later). A family friend introduced me to the VP of Research and Development at a small controls company, and he hired me on the spot. My first commercial project drew 2D visualizations of data in Borland BGI - I made $500.
I was a Star Trek kid, and believed in creating technology that changed people’s lives. I’m a firm believer in the “Oooh” effect - the feeling that one gets when they hold technology in their hands and instinctively know its right and will change their lives. My first “Oooh” moment was holding an iPhone for the first time. I wanted to be a part of bringing those moments to life.
About that age I also got heavily involved in politics and church. I ran live audio for a major church in my area throughout my teens and interned in a studio owned by one of the adult volunteers. He mentored me through some rough times as I began showing signs of bipolar syndrome, which would end up shaping some of my later years. I also took classical piano through these years, which helped a great deal with depression.
Politically, I met two senators through the years and wrote a great deal of letters. I was an activist during the net neutrality era (“STOP SOPA!”) and engaged in other black-and-white thinking like nearly every young person. I was a rabid conservative youth and had a good (ill informed) argument for any adult I came across who looked like a good victim.
In adulthood, I continued my career in tech, and also interned in a photography studio for a while. I can’t say I learned a whole lot there, but I learned to love photography and to recognize good work. I enjoy pointing cameras at exasperated family members to this day.
I went through a brief but very passionate .NET and data aggregation phase, where I worked in education. We built everything ourselves due to minimal budget. The most fun was designing a scan-tron system from scratch to use a cannon copier/scanner to grade jpgs of the bubble sheets, and log scores for students in a searchable database. There were libraries out there, but we chose to do it from the ground up to learn how it worked. The entire GUI was in WPF - a gui toolkit that I still think was before its time and underrated.
Politically I’ve changed into something of a cynical constitutionalist who’s on the border of black pilled. I still work in automation, and still work in C++ (and I still miss C#). I was on the edge of giving up on social media when Edward Snowden mentioned Nostr right about the time I was planning to delete my Twitter account.
Nostr is the first time I’ve been involved in something that made me go “Oooh” in a long time. I have high hopes of contributing in some meaningful way to it’s growth. It feels right, in a sort of unquantifiable way that excites me. I’ve learned a lot of new things (server admin, stuff like that) and met some people who have challenged my comfort after 20 something years in tech - and provoked me to improve again. It’s fun and it feels like coming to life again.
Well this is long enough. There is a little about me. I hope to get to know you all more over time. Thanks for being here, and for being authentically you.
