I'm used to using #youtube for listening to music. Prefer to avoid giving #data
Checking other places, #rumble, or is nostr offering this? Type of #spotify for #nostr #music
And how careful should I be when when i get websites offers to connect my #nostr with? #asknostr

Focus on what?
The news?
Whose news?
i had one shit today,
I ate, walked, kissed,
I forgot things I did,
I scrolled,
Saw letters sum up to words,
Words sum up to story,
Stories sum up from experiences,
Experiences sum up from stories,
And around we go,
What to do?
Focus on..
#thenews
Tempted to see my #x,
Makes the time fly,
Yet maybe more die,
I try to stay away from my x,
Habits, a memory, a taste,
it can be hard to let go off,
but things drop
how high can you go,
a see the fall down below,
a car passing slow,
oh where did it go..
a world, a matrix of cosmic flow,
squared into blocks and raods,
mountains and sea,
the forest, snow, sun, what where did it go, i shut my eyes and darkness glows
bubbles, even here
Loneliness is a state of mind, a feeling rushing through the body. Learn to surf those waves, less tumble and when you do, let it wash you out
I tried finding Satohi's final message. Found ths being his last message I believe. "I've moved on to other things. It's in good hands with Gavin and everyone."
Did mean the devs?
An edit option or a cancel note option within the first minute(s) after posting a note, incase you spot a mistake or have a doubt. Something like what some email providers offer, that let you cancel your send email within a minute.

Learning soo much internet-slang, misreading them and not ging a damn.
Dear NoStrangers,
I feel I was a bit harsh and doomsy yesterday to all those working hard on this decentralized new way that seems to be arising beautiful. To those that are doing thing I know little of, I feel blessed to be able to use them, thank you for that. I will my best to contribute where I can.
Talking online like this to strangers is somewhat new to me, yet I am getting more that feeling that we are no strangers here when it comes to our strong desire for freedom. Freedom for you is freedom for me.
I'm learning not to get wound up to much with all the different topics of news & opinions and do my best in spending less time online and to make useful the time I do. I trust and feel the love in this space compared to an x or fb that were just bleeeh.
One love
On #nostr we're #nostrangers when It comes to #love & #freedom.#ThankYou #Developers & #Satoshi for #Bitcoin
#OneLove
This place can also hold you longer than you should let it.

You didn't ask for advice, but here you have it anyway. 😄
Get a second simple-cellphone. Just for calling and texting and leave your smartphone at home now & then. Or take times to do your online things on a pc a few days a week.
You'll be a great example to the youth and maybe the grumpy old man will leave you.
I was referring to this video with Craig
https://primal.net/e/note1xdwjt64tzjvpjnfphm4k00tyrf0ayh9w6f9nhptvdjw8kz0ppvxq7skvwa
Okay, I was writing and listening and did best to edit my words to make sense.
It is still not clear to me on what changing things in the software is. This is running a node? Building a faster chip for node tech? And does this matter?
And does it matter that I do understand, seeing most the worlds population only uses all the different tech without understanding it?
That said, I’d like to grasp it somewhat so I can put my trust into the trustless.
Saylors now talking on "playing god and making decisions that effect hundreds of millions"
( I'm not quoting nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m direct words, but saying it as “I” understand his words)
I'm just past the hour now of the video and he's still making sense to me. Saying something like "a plane flies, that's the protocol, but now someone wants to introduce a new furniture for in the plane that makes the plain crash. Don't just do things because you believe it's a good idea, be patient, think and think again"
I will need such metaphors to understand answers to my prior question.
I think he and Craig would agree. I listened this while back and I feel that in this talk with Craig, some people are sounding rushed, moving with some panic vibe. Are these the developers?
And now listening saylor,
"we need to built somethings that will last a millennia, if we choose to touch the core think that far ahead. New people will arrive (or still need to be born) to work on it. Reflect on ones ego in wanting to "help", before you go change stuff. Go improve lightning layer 2,3,4,5, leave layer 1 alone"
He still makes sense to me, because my understanding was that bitcoin was untouchable if enough people used it and hash rate grows, but now I get I'm wrong? Why carry on investing in it instead of gold?
But then I hear anyone can built on it, so how can we stop whomever in the world wishes too?
So long people don't vote, update their software/node? If it's good it will happen. So am I just following a drama of nothing on nostr? Iran, Korea, Russia, India etc also have computer geniuses right.. I’m only in the English bubble here.
I would like to run a node but don't understand github and all the files, looked at tutorials. Its unsure to me I might f up my pc. And probably need a new one seeing this one is old old. I’ll wait till the tech geniuses build an easier to use one, or point me out to one that already exists.
There are many of me that know nothing of the tech. So those who do, we need to trust you don't do stupid things. Be mindful, move without fear. Patience!
Thanks for the effort🙏 . Anyone else willing to explain to me and other tech dinos my prior questions, feel welcome to try.

- Do I understand it correct that everything we post on nostr is stored on relays, and that a relay can just be me using hardware at home?
- If I upload a one hour film every day on nostr, can it slow things down?
- Do the ones running relays need to build more storage?
- What if a youtube or a netflix decides to upload half there content onto nostr?
- is/will this be possible if more start building on nostr?
Listened to Michael Saylor on the nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk podcast. It's 3 months old, but sheds some light on the ARK funding story.
TL;DW: Saylor strongly believes in *OSSIFICATION NOW*. From that POV, protocol development is a liability.
Some quotes (and thoughts)👇
"You only get to play God once. And Satoshi played God. And you can say 'well Satoshi got to do it, why can't I?' Well the answer is Satoshi did it, the reason we're talking about Satoshi is 'cause the other 100,000 would-be Satoshis failed. If you read the history of the world, work your way through 10,000 pages of Western history, there will be thousands and thousands and thousands of episodes of 'alpha male thinks he was put on this earth, you know, to change everything', full of hubris [...] he's gotta do more, change more, etcetera.'" (53:34) "Bitcoin Core developers, or protocol developers, they want to fix something, or they want to make a contribution, because it's in their DNA, but developers are just the lawyers of cyberspace. When a lawyer shows up at the capital, they gotta make a law to save you from yourself, and the more laws they make, the more they cripple the economy, until eventually there's so many laws that the entire civilization collapses under its own weight." (58:06) "The world is full of people that need something to do. I would say, the real key to wisdom, channel your energy constructively. If you're gonna do something, improve Lightning, build an application, persuade someone to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset, educate someone… these are all constructive things. Destructive, dilutive, distractive things are: fight with random people 'cause they want to fight with you, attack the core network and make it confusing and introduce anxiety, and confusion and fear, uncertainty and doubt into the base layer. Right? And then attempt to imprint your ego, you know, on the base protocol, you know? Like, 'I gotta introduce this so my name will go down in history forever'." (2:38:55) My view: it's understandable to want Bitcoin to behave like the granite under Manhattan (his analogy); a solid bedrock that never changes. Especially if you truly believe Bitcoin will take over the world as SoV-only and "there is no second best". But IMO this is wishful thinking. While I agree it's near-impossible for an alt to overtake Bitcoin, I do think adoption could stall.
Luckily, Bitcoin isn't really a natural element. It's spontaneous order, more like language. Hard to change and no one can dictate changes, but if market wants it to change, it can.
Furthermore, despite Stephan asking a few questions in that direction, Saylor mostly failed to distinguish between protocol upgrades and general software maintenance.
Arguing against any hard/soft forks is one thing, but Bitcoin Core 26.0 can obviously not last for centuries...
Having said that, Saylor is of course free to not upgrade anymore and stick to Bitcoin Core 26.0 for as long as he lives.
What is a 'protocol upgrade'?
What does 'general software maintenance' mean, and why is this needed?
What is the difference?
Can someone use a metaphor or use child language to explain this to me and any other feeling ignorant on this subject?
And please assume that all I know about computers is how to turn them on & off.
