In Amethyst, when a note includes a medium to long URL, it gets truncated.
Ie. It looks something like "https://example.com/..." where the "..." represents stuff you cannot see.
Is there no way to preview the entire URL without being forced to click it?
A long press nothing.
And regular tap simply opens the URL.
For the sake of #privacy and #security, it's not good that #Amethyst is obscuring 99% of URLs.
Is there any way to see the full URL without being forced to visit it?

I really like Twitter/X—not so much because of the platform itself, but because of the community and the access it provides to people who would otherwise be difficult to interact with.
However, a platform that can suspend an account like nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgy0p0u5m94ne4j428mtfpy0ljtfn5kl493zrrrq96nnl6edp30zlulq5mka (assuming it's really him here on #nostr), for any reason, is a problem.
The core issue is that Twitter/X is a business at the end of the day. Management may have the best intentions, but they ultimately have to act in their own self-interest. That’s completely understandable—I don’t blame them at all.
A similar situation recently occurred when Apple dropped end-to-end cloud encryption (data protection) for UK users.
While I’m sure Apple and Tim Cook genuinely value privacy for all, as a company, they have to prioritize their shareholders’ best interests. When the choice is between removing end-to-end encryption or losing the UK as a market, the business decision is obvious—especially when viewed from a bottom-line perspective.
Unfortunately, markets reward short-term results more than long-term strategies.
Over the past few months, "unbanked" has shifted from being a conspiracy theory to an openly acknowledged reality. Some individuals, startups, and even established businesses have been restricted or outright banned from having banking relationships in certain industries. Several have talked about this including nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsqzp382htsmu08k277ps40wqhnfm60st89h5pvjyutghq9cjasuh38q7t6dtc .
When others control your speech, privacy, and money—do you really have freedom? I don’t think so.
That’s why cryptography and end-to-end encryption are such a big deal—privacy is a basic human right that everyone should have.
That’s why Nostr is such a big deal—uncensorable, decentralized speech with no way for anyone to suspend an account.
That’s why Bitcoin is such a big deal—uncensorable, decentralized money that you control, and no one can stop.
The future looks bright with these tools. We just have to embrace them and fight for our right to use them.
It makes sense why nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n has chosen this same path from cryptography, to bitcoin, to nostr.

NGU (number go up) is great and all but it's just a cherry on top.
Don't take these tools for granted.
Oh, and good morning!

"When others control your speech, privacy, and money - do you really have freedom?"
That means people zap you with lightning, but you receive cashu ecash?
The people who say, "stop spreading FUD", conveniently seem to overlook this.
For such a "promising" technology, it's sure taking a damn long time to get the thing working robustly.
That's great to hear you have opportunities to use LN with real vendors. Where is that, if you don't mind saying? Personally, I found it hard to find people who accept lightning, evenifn a country like El Salvador, where Bitxoin is legal tender.
The majority of people seem likely to remain apathetic.
Most people are likely to continue giving up their privacy so long as it gains them some amount of convenience.
Most people are likely to continue using fiat over Bitcoin as long as it's more convenience (less governmental road blocks).
Most people are likely to continue to have someone else (banks) custody their finances for the sake of "convenience.
Teaching your average person how to secure their private keys and still be able to use them when they need to is beyond what the average person wants to deal with.
Unless civilization slips into utter tyranny, average people won't be pushed to take matters into their own hands.
Consider turning off your WiFi at night. Here’s why with nostr:npub1yd2h2lrwchshvm46jq7auh65tjkxmgnapkavh7tjtqq07kknupxsa980tv
Here is a link to the study shown in the video: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29573716/
It basically just sounds like Tor.
You can use a browser wallet like nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev via Tor/Orbot or use your own lightning node
I will give coinos.io a try. Thanks.
How is that even possible?
Is there any simple/easy way to receive and send #lightning #zaps in #nostr without compromising your #privacy by, for example, giving your IP address to a centralized organization such as #WalletOfSatoshi?
It's basically just a CBDC, but in the hands of a private company instead of a Central Bank, isn't it?
That's not an education. That's an indoctrination. Public school is not a very wise place to send your child in this day and age.
Thanks. I'll check those ones out.
I've been playing around with running #deepseek R1 (the 7 billion parameters model) locally on my computer.
While it's cool that it can be run locally, the answers it provides are not particularly great.
How many billion parameters does it take to start getting consistently good answers?

Are Phoenix Wallet fees still quite high?
