Its like a utilitarian argument for ignoring the factual reality. Even if you think its necessary, that doesn't make it any less theft.

In consolidation with the slaves who must toil, the masters will be taking the day off to observe.

This seems like a lost cause if I'm going to be honest, bitcoin is still too speculative in pricing, nostr is still too small, and hodlers with bitcoin have tighter purse strings than goblins with gold. I think what we need are more goods and services priced in bitcoin to support a native economy, hopefully civkit will support that. Once there's a better marketplace for goods, people will flow in to buy services they'd normally pay cash for, and adjacent services like content creators will see higher numbers. That said, I have always felt like most content creators are really chasing a unicorn, and that its only possible for so many to exist under fiat; I fantasize about making a living giving my opinions, but my opinions aren't worth my living expenses. Pay me a little bitcoin over lightning to come powerwash your driveway and we might be in business.

Falsely? We trained, armed, and funded the creation of ISIS to fight Assad, drawing us into a third war in Iraq when ISIS went rogue. We provided air support to extremists who overthrew the government and turned it into a failed state. We funded and armed the Taliban in Afghanistan to fight the Russians during the cold war, leaving their country tattered. We puppeted Iran into an Islamic revolution. These aren't false accusations, and neither is it to say that the US manipulated the overthrow of Ukraine's government, and then openly invited them into NATO prompting the Russian invasion, which we followed up with openly expressing our intent to bleed Russia dry.

Actually I don't think the military benefits from closed source, they already use hardware devices for key management to anything sensitive, and they really shouldn't be using anything that can be hacked without the keys anyways.

Yea I mean at least the US empire has been productive for Goldman Sachs and Lockheed Martin. Can't Russia see that their security interests aren't as important as the US dollar hegemony?

Cuban missile crisis? Never heard of it.

Slack does a decent job at the display for that, maybe use a similar way but group things like green checks/happy faces/thumbs up vs red x/frowns/thumbs down/puke. That said, I feel like 1 positive emoji and 1 negative emoji is a more clean model, but I'm a bit of a square.

The only realistic solution is android or Linux, I don't see how legislation could be considered "realistic".

I think your going to have to choose one. The Constitution and the State it has created or allowed violates the non aggression principle. Aren't they mutually exclusive?

I'm inclined to agree, I have a sense that things would have been better under the articles of confederation if they had played out, or maybe even less than that. The constitution seems to be responsible for opening the door to federal income taxes, a federal mint, a federal military etc. Remember that the bill of rights was a compromise the anti federalists got, and its never had any serious legal power, no punishments were outlined for its violation.

I think storage hasn't scaled at the speed we all thought, but its fast enough to edge out block chain growth. In time hopefully it will be easy and common enough to run a full node inside of a wallet app.

Funny, but damn there isn't an escape even in death, they'll punish your great grandchild for offing yourself.

What about using a user configurable script that can be kept up to date from a repo? Like, I can subscribe to a bothunter list, if I ever feel like I'm not getting the right content then I can toggle that list off.

IMPORTANT: If you are here because you see Nostr as a censorship-resistant alternative and the beacon of free speech, YOU MUST READ THIS. Something bad is going on, and you should be aware of it. It affects every user on Nostr.

First: Please, only utilize the 'Report' feature in extreme cases. Instead, prioritize using the 'Mute/Block' option when necessary. This is a humble request to all the IOS & Android users 🙏

Because we have a very huge problem and it's not a bug. Let me elaborate:

Regardless of where you choose to report, your 'report' will censor that person not just for you but "all of your followers" who use Amethyst. It only takes five reports from 'following user' to censor the individual "for you" without your intent and knowledge. No matter which client the censored user is using, they will be censored for Amethyst users after reports.

Amethyst users don't even have an option to turn off this setting. This is really messed up. Any five users I am following can censor any person for me, and I can't do anything about it. This is ridiculous.

By the way, don't make any mistake here, it's not a bug, it's by design. I raised this issue with Vitor many times. I respect his work, but there has been no meaningful response regarding this. In fact, he wants you to learn coding and do it by yourself.

I don't intend to call out any person; I just want to spread awareness. Maybe you like this feature idk but you deserve to know what's exactly happening and make informed decisions.

Btw, You don't have to share this exact post, but please let people around you know what's happening. So they can participate in this debate.

Couldn't a malicious actor generate multiple accounts and launch an attack on amethyst users by reporting content at will?

Yea I mean I'm not sure the exact context of these profiles, I don't think I'd willingly admit I was laid off, thats for sure.

Maybe an option to send a private reply with cashu? A client can automatically scrape these comments and keep it in its own wallet. That way, users that don't have a lightning wallet can still collect zaps, and convert them when they are ready. If nostr were to grow beyond the bitcoin crowd than this would help new users not feel pressured, and they won't receive random DMs with tokens they don't know how to use.

This is like the very definition of "enforcing your way out of a bad policy", I think the switch is an amazing console, but it should be obvious people want to buy their games on steam and play with a nice graphics cards on a 4k monitor.

I am inclined to agree, its frustrating to see my client (amethyst) simply not be configured to accept notes in a format that other clients push.

That said, this kind of competition is probably pushing the developers harder than anything. In the long term it would be nice to see clients that don't require constant updates, right now this might be the best thing for us.
