Oddbean new post about login | logout So literally On @primal When you buy ⚡️⚡️⚡️ It’ll take you to Apple Pay I used the Apple Cash Card & I woke up to send my mom $5 dollars for her coffee and my account was restricted. I called Apple and was told a certain purchase with an application from the App Store is what caused the deactivation. Only app I ever used on Apple Cash is Primal 🤦♂️
Wow. That’s a classic Reverse Trojan Horse move. ‘Allow’ something, then ban anyone who actually uses it.
I used my bank credit linked to my Apple account. The payment shows up as APPLE.COM/BILL. Now wondering, after Apple collecting their 30%, if they can report me and shut me down.
Yeah that’s what I’m assuming is happening
AntennaGate meets MoneyGate. Apple: From the company that told you that you were holding your broken phone incorrectly now tells you that you're spending your money incorrectly. nostr:nevent1qqs8fg8p4p8t32k9tqr8vw5yp5n587pgp7r7688v8cmqmsqt6eu799cppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsy8nxmev0ymlm78h4z4ydc289qugh4pc79vqmy5y4kfwxxtpujfuqrqsqqqqqpdd330t
I really can't understand how plebs still treat Apple as a religion, they seem incapacitated of seing the obvious
Brand name fetishism.
That's the why religion works so well. People kill and commit suicide with religion. To the outside observer, it seems insane. To those on the inside, it was a good decision
Same.
The modern world runs on cults.
Cults are not a modern invention, they're an evolutionary advantage that has always been utilized by good and bad leaders
There is no good use of cult manipulation. That's one of the first lies in the deck of cards. Cults inherently shrink the capacity of people to think, by creating phobias and addictions that would not otherwise exist, wasting their lives on shit they don't need and fearing stuff they shouldn't fear.
I suppose "cult" implies bad. With different intentions, we'd use words like charismatic leadership or movement
Making up in group ephemisms is also classic cult manipulation. Every single example I have seen in my life left damage in it's path. Psytrance parties, self help systems, Blockchain social networks. Baghwan Sri Rajneesh had a lot of useful things to say but his cars and his groupies nullified it. Bitcoin has cults attached to it as does nostr. Nothing good comes out of them. They are all on a spectrum from distraction to assisted suicide.

C'est bien un windows XP sur la note tanel ? Ça marche encore ?: j'ai un pc neuf dans mon grenier ' merci pour la réponse
the operating system still works, but as it is outdated, then there are lots of security flaws in it
Je pourrais peut-être l'user pour du stockage puisqu'avec les ssid il y a peu de capacités de stockage c'est très rapide pour l'exécution comme un téléphone mobile .. Dernièrement un de mes ordinateurs m'a planté au cours des mises à jour Edge ...j'ai dû racheté un neuf . Merci je verrais comment faire .b
I mean, I could see them being worried about fraud. Someone could steal CC numbers and buy sats and immediately send them to another wallet out of reach of recovery. I listened to the recent Citadel Dispatch with the primal dev and they didn't really get approval or work with Apple to make sure it was acceptable. They just guessed that if they gave Apple their cut they wouldn't give a shit.
Did Apple not approve it on the AppStore though? Regardless if they “got direct approval” Apple approved the app so they must know?
They also approved Damus with zaps for awhile before backtracking.
If anything this gives me a vote of no confidence to assume that Apple is actually taking measures to protect its users If they use an “approve now disapprove later after actually taking a look” model
Good point
Cash app will ban people for life for using their bitcoin "wrong". They don't tell you what it is either, you have to guess. Apple uses the same playbook. It might not be Apple, but they are beholden to the same authoritarian forces so it really doesn't make a difference.
Right. Some really smart dude pointed this out in 2009. ”The problem with this solution is that the fate of the entire money system depends on the company running the mint, with every transaction having to go through them, just like a bank."
Apple loves freedom nostr:nevent1qqs8fg8p4p8t32k9tqr8vw5yp5n587pgp7r7688v8cmqmsqt6eu799cpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyppuek7trexl7l3aag4frwz3eg8z9agw83tqxe9p9djt33jc0yj0qqcyqqqqqqg6npwfx
It’s not Apple, it’s their banking partners. Apple could very easily end up getting into Bitcoin because they actually hate this shit for their customers
Oh noooo. Try earning 🤔
I don't buy that for a second. Apple is anti-bitcoin as much as the banks.
I doubt anyone at apple knows what sats in Primal actually are, the app just came out on the App Store a week ago. He’d probably get canceled for any in-app purchase he made.
