Commentary from Gregory the Theologian (390 AD):

Do we commend hospitality? Do we admire brotherly love, wifely affection, virginity, feeding the poor, singing psalms, nightlong vigils, penitence? Do we mortify the body with fasting? Do we through prayer take up our abode with God? Do we subordinate the inferior element in us to the better—I mean, the dust to the spirit, as we should if we have returned the right verdict on the alloy of the two which is our nature? Do we make life a meditation of death? Do we establish our mastery over our passions, mindful of the nobility of our second birth? Do we tame our swollen and inflamed tempers? Or our pride, which “comes before a fall,” or our unreasonable grief, our crude pleasures, our dirty laughter, our undisciplined eyes, our greedy ears, our immoderate talk, our wandering thoughts, our anything in ourselves which the evil one can take over from us and use against us, “bringing in death through the windows,” as Scripture has it, meaning through the senses? No. We do the very opposite: we offer freedom to the passions of others, like kings declaring an amnesty after a victory, on the sole condition that they give their assent to us—and thus rush against God more violently or more “piously” than before; for this discreditable purchase we pay them a dishonorable price, license in exchange for impiety.“ nostr:note1qqqq0r8sjd8jaaeq7uwqh4edfjw4x6nn2xrqhpt57n453q5v9wcswcud8s

Does a father not correct his son, whom he loves, to ensure that he does not harm himself by doing something dangerous out of ignorance?

What you perceive as judgment, is in fact done out of love, to prevent future pain that will result in the sin that is pride.

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

- Proverbs 16:18,19

If we are going to push for microapps on Nostr, would be great to have a Nostr app store of sorts.

Probably a web app that serves as an inventory of all Nostr apps and microapps, with the ability for people to leave reviews, ratings, and more.

First time running Gossip in probably 4 weeks. Latest version is looking really good nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c !

Very cool

That’s because you’ve experienced more of it.

Example:

1 year when your 10 years old is 1/10th of your life.

1 year when you’re 30 is 1/30th of your life.

This is why 1 year (or any time horizon) feels shorter and shorter as you live your life.

That makes sense. Appreciate the work y’all are doing!

I think I signed up day 1 and am still on the waitlist. Have you guys started working through the waitlist yet?

It’s getting to the point where 17 hour drives aren’t even that difficult anymore

Anyone got that Primal TestFlight link?

Not as secure. Pixels have secure elements for the seeds.

RoninDojo is the best for Samourai wallet. However, it doesn’t support running a Lightning node out of the box. If you NEED Lightning too, I’d recommend Nodl.

Will you be using samourai wallet? Do you want to run a lightning node?

I heard they’re making native mobile apps.

I have a second phone, an older Pixel 5 running GrapheneOS. It’s a very good private phone option.

Full node recommendation will depend on your technical abilities and what specifically you want from your node.

Also depends on if you’re gonna build it DIY or buy a pre-built node in a box.

Look, if you’re gonna use iOS devices, just expect Apple to abuse their App Store walled garden.

I’m surprised Apple allowed zaps in Damus in the first place.
