How it feels talking to people on Twitter

Damus code submissions no longer depends on github. Last 4 contributions were applied via patches@damus.io, and were rewarded 115,000 sats total.

Email allows people to contribute anonymously and without the need for a github account, which is important if their access to github is blocked for whatever reason (china, iran, etc). It’s also annoying to login to github, sending an email patch is a single command.

One day we can use nostr instead of email, once there are better email-like nostr clients, but for now this works ok.

Decentralize all the things ✌️

Bitcoin will take care of you if you take care of your bitcoin.

As has been mentioned by multiple others - in 2014 Apple removed all Bitcoin wallets, people smashed iPhones, Apple reversed the decision.

But if you need this spelling out to you here it is:

I used to be an Apple customer. I have spent at least $10k on their products in the past.

I am no longer willing to spend a single penny or sat with them ever again.

As the "go to tech guy" near enough everyone I know asks me what new phone to buy, what new laptop to buy... do you think I will recommend Apple to them ever again?

I am encouraging other plebs to follow my example (which they will) to show it's not only me, it is many of us they have now lost, people who are their most lucrative customers, people who think nothing of smashing an iPhone to pieces and have money that would have gone to Apple but now won't.

It is about Functional Design -- the software design implications of using a functional language. It covers the basics of functional programming, the interplay between OO and FP, design principles, design patterns, and concludes with a case study.

The language I use is Clojure, but that's incidental to the purpose of the book. I chose Clojure because of all the functional programming languages, Clojure has the shortest learning curve. Being a LISP it has an absurdly small syntax.

The book is not a Clojure tutorial; but by the end of the book you'll likely have a good working knowledge of the language. More importantly, however, you'll have a good working knowledge of functional programming, functional design, and the architectural implications of using a functional language.

My intention was to make a clear statement that would draw attention to the cause against Apple's anti-freedom anti-Bitcoin practices.

Clearly I succeeded.

By even commenting on this you are giving it more attention. Thank you.

It's about the symbolism.

I'm not so dumb to think removing a single phone from the world will itself affect anything.

It's about making a statement.

$8 would give you 26,000 sats to spend on paid relays.
