If you’re being influenced by someone on twitter or any other social media platform, you’re already a moron and deserve whatever you get. 😂

When I was growing up, astronauts, Olympic medal winners, Nobel laureates and pretty much anyone who made it to the cover of the wheaties box, were considered influential. These days, acting like an idiot on TikTok is all you have to do to be considered influential. 🤷🏻♂

Also, how does one LARP on twitter? 🤔


That was kind of the point, I would probably lose nine years if I went to a Metallica/ Godsmack concert that often. Not to mention loss of hearing. 🤣


Well said. So much that I am willing to forgive you for using a Pixel. 😝


God, it would be nice if people didn’t focus on such trivialities. 🤦🏻♂

Do you feel like having 1,000 followers makes you any more relevant than someone with half of that?


Not this kind of concert, maybe Simon and Garfunkel. 😂


Yup. The fediverse was well intentioned but it also suffers from the same censorship as the bigger platforms.


If you choose to purchase an iPhone, you’re not being “locked in” by anyone but yourself. I don’t understand why people can’t grasp that.

It’s also only the “walled garden” when you’re on the outside looking in. 🤷🏻♂

For the record, there isn’t one iOS Nostr app that fully functions either.


This joker actually tried suing nirvana for this pic.

If you’re lazy and don’t want to work for a living, just sue someone. 🤦🏻♂


No, lol.


How does one get logged out of a Nostr app? I think it was just coincidence.


300, that’s all?


Next level chef is pretty good, it’s different, nothing else like it out there.


Beautiful


Does anyone watch cooking shows, like Masterchef, Top Chef or Chopped?

After binging Masterchef, I noticed a few things. For whatever reason, they feel like they have to manufacture drama and it gets quite repetitive.

Top Chef, however, is everything you want in a cooking show without the manufactured drama.

Oh, and don’t forget to buy #bitcoin.


Freedom is not cheap. 😁


Yeah, I got an email almost a week later, after sending a message that I was getting an error when I tried to turn it on, that it should be pushed to TestFlight either later this week or next.

Their app is great but their customer support is trash.


Very true. As much as I may think the dev is a douchebag, he certainly knows how to code. 😝 As you’ll see by the star next to my handle, I don’t let my emotions affect my judgement when it comes to what apps I use.

Now, we just need him to figure out how to make push notifications work like current and YakiHonne. Honestly, I REALLY like YakiHonne, it offers so lush more, but I can’t change the font size and it’s too small for my old eyes. 😅


So, they’ll be ok with being told what they can spend their money on because they don’t want the hassle of switching to another bank? You’re not giving them very much credit. No pun intended.😌


Well, they’re not going to be open very long then. Dumbasses🤦🏻♂


Good morning.😊


It is a great app but suffers from the stutters, just like #nos. There were a bunch of mastodon apps that acted the same way, so I am not sure what code they are missing to smooth out the experience, but it seems like taking a look in someone else’s git would shed some light on it.

iOS devs are weird AF.


That is sad, but I don’t see how it ascots as a deterrent. If you’re drunk, you probably don’t care where you piss and would be just as likely to piss on the nearest bush as you would be to using one of these. Hahaha. I’m glad I don’t anymore.😅

I have no problem with it, I just with America didn’t have a stick up their ass when it comes to this subject, lol.

We basically have to be barricaded in a building that smells like shit and piss.

Thinking about it, I suppose that gives females over there one more thing to hate men for. 🤣


Yeah, religion is crazy. 😅


This is gold. 🤣 And yet another reason I would like to visit there, other than smoking weed legally.


There is even more interestings ones in Amsterdam 😆 you can pee with your crew https://image.nostr.build/126d2553b6a0207786b11428afc8dd12bfe627b938c82f756c815dd992f9e222.jpg https://image.nostr.build/234698b76e921ad890bd46dcc820f1310fb4a12f47b785102388e90eb7e95b9d.jpg


Well, at least they offer you some privacy when you gotta drop a deuce, LMAO.

I’m not sure if that would even be legal in the states. People have been put on sex offender watchlists for simply pissing outside.

Personally, I like the idea, you almost don’t have to break stride. 😂 Sometimes I hate walking into public restrooms, I feel so dirty afterwards, which probably isn’t too far from the truth. 😱 Not to mention the smell.


Good morning.😊 That’s always a good thing.


Right on.


What does that have to do with anything?

Github is used by pretty much every Android developer and I would imagine most iOS developers as well. It’s not in any jeopardy of being kicked to the curb until you can find a suitable replacement that every developer will want to use. Until then, GitHub’s not going anywhere.


Could you make one that fits a mobile device?

Every time I modify these to a different aspect ratio, everything gets all wonky looking.


Y’all are killing it with the graphics today.

Agree 100%

I see videos on YouTube of people helping others, usually homeless people, and that is really nice. However, I am curious if they would do the same thing if they weren’t being recorded and posted for all the world to see.

Hell, a lot of them are taking their own videos . Like, WTF?


Yeah, I don’t think I have ever seen a female back up to one of these, but that would be fucking hilarious.😂


Outside, in plain view? I would think not.


It sounds like you may need a 420 session. 😅

Faith is a powerful thing, even if it’s misplaced. He is responsible for getting himself to the Olympics, not some imaginary deity.

I don’t understand how the dollar is worth anything. If it’s backed by the gold in Fort Knox and that gold has already been spent, several times over, then the dollar isn’t really worth any more or less than digital currency at this point.

That being the case, I would certainly rather invest in currency controlled by everyday citizens rather than a bunch of corporate pigs.😁


I did not know this. So, it could be said that the Olympics is the birthplace of bling as well, lol.


I understood what you meant, but that doesn’t change anything. 🤣


Clearly.🙄


That’s a nice view.


Yeah, that’s not gonna happen, LMAO.


Good morning.😊


Bitcoin is definitely at the top when it comes to making transactions. Ethereum is at the top for everything else. At least, that’s how I understood it.


I’d like to ask for some help for one of my closest friends.

She has a geology degree and currently has a job in a lab detecting asbestos. She’s had professional training and experience in several different microscopy techniques.

She really enjoys what she does, but the management situation is a complete shitshow. She’s doing the work of three people, has to beg for help from other departments, has a manipulative psycho over her, and on top of it, despite being the longest remaining employee in a position with rapid turnover because of this toxic work environment, isn’t making enough money to ever retire.

She is looking for another laboratory, or possibly research, position of some kind that will hire her, pay enough, and have a team that functions at least barely.

If they will consider her, it could even be a chemistry lab. She actually really enjoyed and was good at chromatography and many other chemistry techniques, but many employers see “geology degree” and don’t realize that means she’s qualified to work in a chemistry lab as well.

She is willing to move, so it doesn’t matter where the job is.

She has been working hard trying to find a new position, but there just aren’t that many. Trying to help her with reach.

Please pass along potential leads if you know of any. Thank you!

Good morning. 😊

That’s a nice sentiment, but it infers that you weren’t at your best yesterday and that can be counterproductive to reaching your overall goal.


nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm are y’all planning on creating your own wallet app at some point?


Well, paper money is/was backed by gold, bitcoin is/was backed by nothing. Now that we are trillions in debt and people are realizing that gold in Fort Knox is worthless, it seems logical to look into alternatives.

Bitcoin and all other forms of crypto, only exist in a digital space and that can be difficult for people to put trust in.

I’m just now coming around and I helped to build a mining farm. While those investors had no problem putting up cash to invest in, I still wasn’t sold.

And if I am being completely honest, I’m still not completely sold, but willing to give it a try since the dollar isn’t treating me any better at this point.


I always wished I could ride one of those, that looks like so much fun. Unfortunately, I have a slight problem with having to break bones in order to get that good. 😂


Very nice. Unfortunately, I can’t look at a rainbow anymore without thinking about the alphabet people that appropriated it.😅


NPUB’s are nice, the downside is, everyone can use the same name, which could get confusing. Or, someone could pose as someone else. If you don’t have the proper NPUB, there is no way to determine who you’re talking to.


Hell yes. 🤤 nostr:note1t57pcq9ft96ahsdq0dlt47uuu6ructzan6kfdcr6zkuvjp72j4ms007snm


Wait, are they from Alabama or Louisiana? I think it’s Louisiana, oops. That’s what happens when I start posting before my morning coffee😅


Any Americans ever follow The Duck Dynasty show?

I usually binge the show once every few years, but I have recently come across a better way of surrounding myself with those crazy Alabama boys, the podcast.

Phil has his own podcast called “Unashamed”. I assume it has to do with religion, since he was actually booted from the show for a short while for saying that being queer is a sin. Whether or not you believe that, it’s his opinion and he has a right to it. Apparently, A&E didn’t feel that way so they removed him for awhile.

So, that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I read the name of his podcast. He is unashamed of his opinions and rightly so.

Anyways, his brother, Silas, also has a podcast and it is fucking hilarious.😂
This man is a trip and I feel like whenever you’re having a bad day or are in a bad mood, hearing his voice will brighten up your day. #nostr.


Even if Germany believes in bitcoin, everyone they do business with may not. That being the case, regardless of which is worth something and which is worthless, they still have to do business with paper money.


I’m sure they have a reason, Germans aren’t dumb.

But yes, at this point, you would be better off backing bitcoin since paper money no longer has anything backing it up either.


Apple. It’s simple and effective. It’s also integrated into my operating system better than any third party app.

I have tried to use third party apps, but they always come up wanting.


Facts. Now if we could just get the millennials to stop blaming everything on the boomers, we may actually get somewhere.

If your life is tough, it’s because of decisions you made, not your parents.


It’s hump day, it’s almost obligatory to take today slow. 😅


Have a good day. 😊


Good morning, #nostr!! I hope everyone has a happy hump day. 😊

Oh, and if you’re one of those people who likes to blame everything on their parents instead of taking accountability for your own actions, do yourself a favor and mute me now and save us both the trouble.

Zoomers.🤦🏻♂🤷🏻♂😂


My, you really are a sad little man child. You’ll pardon me if I put you back on mute, I thought maybe you would have something relevant to say and that was my mistake.

Take care, kid. When you head back upstairs, make sure to tell your parents  that we are proud of you for using your words.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, proper grammar and reading comprehension are two completely different things. You would know that if you could actually comprehend anything.

Autocorrect changed one word, you still think I’m a boomer because you’re so easy to make a fool out of. Do I need to draw a picture for you? LMMFAO

Mic drop, see ya…


It’s basically your word against theirs. Are there CCTV cameras in the area that might have caught it?


Every other platform, including the fediverse, suffer from one common problem, moderators.

There is no actual free speech while under the thumb of someone else’s virtues.


I think it has to do with relays.I’ve seen mine go up and down in the same client.


The only gold worth anything, is whatever you pull out of the ground yourself. People buying gold because they think it’s a solid investment. What they don’t realize is that the government has already spent that gold ten times over so it’s basically worthless.

Maybe if you tried in a foreign country.🤷🏻♂


To a degree, yes. You’re assuming everyone who had control of something, were also parents. My parents are boomers and I can assure you that they had nothing to do with making future generation’s lives worse than theirs.

Personally, I think it has to do with work ethic.


Well, if your only proof that they had it easy, is a meme, it’s kind of difficult to take anything you say seriously, LMFAO.

Yes, things cost a lot less back then, but you also made a lot less as well. They also didn’t have the benefit of our current technology. How about you go outside, touch some grass, than fuck all the way off, back to your mom’s basement.


I meant about it being the parent’s responsibility.


Well, that is certainly your opinion and will agree to disagree.


Well, I can see that reading comprehension isn’t a skill you have mastered yet either, so I will end it there. Buy bye


I’m actually Gen X, but thank you for confirming you’re not capable of being anything other than someone’s parrot. 🤣


Yes


Gen X seems to be doing fine to me. The ones I hear that are moving back home, are Gen Z and younger millennials, and I still wouldn’t blame that on their parents.


I don’t know, it feels like Elon could’ve said something more relevant rather than reaching for something people would consider ironic or funny. For example, if he said something like, Now the path is clear for Stephen to run.


LMAO. That’s not gaslighting, that’s a fact.


It means they were more responsible.🤷🏻♂

I’m curious, if you took that shot using the selfie camera, would the writing come out correctly. Since the selfie cam reverses the image, taking the picture through the mirror, should reverse it back. 🤔

Yeah, I really wanted to enjoy it. I quit smoking, thanks to vaping and wanted to completely cut combustion out of the equation but it was too difficult to hit. It was a nice setup, had an app and everything that you could control it with, just too hard to get a pull off of. Definitely is a different experience when you’re not just incinerating it, lol. Tastes a lot better. Also, what’s left after vaporizing, can be smoked again, so it’s like a two for.😂


How restrictive is it? I had a Davinci and it always felt like I was going to suck my face off.😂


I’m not even sure what that means.😅


I was nosing around that earlier actually. I guess that answers the question about having a dedicated app version of it, lol.

Thanks.


Does anyone know of a #nostr centric news app for iOS, is there even such a thing? #asknostr


Neither is/was more important than the other. Without one, the other is useless.

In the 80’s, digital tech was still in its infancy and it was a lot easier to trust in something tangible rather than a bunch of 1’s and 0’s, which is why, at the time, hardware was so coveted.


Definitely a bull, it won’t maul you to death.

You’re using hashtags to attract people to a post they most likely don’t give a fuck about, I certainly don’t.

No one gives a shit about the global feed, your post showed up in my curated feed because you hijacked two hashtags I follow.

If I want to hear crybabies, I’ll subscribe to that hashtag.


#fountain, could use an iSync option and/or a way to ignore downloaded episodes when making a backup. I just backed up 16gb of shows.😅


What does this post have to do with either of the hashtags you used?


No worries


I am currently using Damus, for iOS. Click the magnifying glass, then universal. The feed should only be in the language of your choice.

I do feel like they should give you the option to filter your personal feed as well.
I think the assumption is, if you follow someone, you can understand the language they are using, which is correct. However, that does not account for who they follow and repost. If I have a foreign language message in my feed, it’s usually a repost from someone I am following.


No widget for the #fountain app? 🤔

Also, adding hashtags, like #bitcoin and #btc, will help you reach more people.


So, #nostr, after celebrating our independence from those dumbass Europeans, I’ve had time to reflect on our current events.

We have a sitting president that, before completely losing his mind, has managed to erase womanhood off the map in favor of pandering to the queer community.

And his opposition is a convicted insurrectionist with well over thirty felony convictions against him. A proven racist and a man who has no problem gassing his own citizens for a photo op with a bible.

I see a lot of other countries holding their own elections as well. I can’t help but hope they are prepared to deal with whichever of these idiots is re-elected.

Devil’s advocate. It is still illegal, federally. That’s never going to change, for two reasons. 1) you can’t regulate it if it is completely legal. 2) that would mean they would have to admit that they have been wrong all this time, releasing everyone who had been locked up because of it and potentially opening themselves up for lawsuits from said individuals.

Good luck with that. 😅

I completely agree. Didn’t mean to come off sounding like “that guy”, the killer of joy. 😅


Facts.

I had a rather nasty accident with fireworks when I was 15, so I am particularly weary of them. Not to mention, my poor dogs go nuts. It’s not even just the 4th, I’ve been hearing them for a few nights and will probably go on a few days past the 4th s well.

I get it and I don’t want to sound like “that guy”, but I really love animals and when I heard that the other day, it made a lot of sense. People spend hundreds of dollars for a small amount of excitement when that money go do so much more good if we gave it to our local shelters.


People would rather spend money on fireworks than support an animal shelter.

I heard someone mention this a few days ago and it is really hitting home.

The two children who told of Satoshi's great find,
Realized that they had put him in a bind.

They meant no harm by telling the tale.
Satoshi was kind. They felt they had failed.

They went to his cabin the very next day
Expecting Satoshi to be in dismay.

Satoshi was glad to see the two boys.
He offered to carve them some new wooden toys.

They cried at his kindness and turned to go 'way.
He was concerned, and he told them to stay.

"What is it, my friends, that would cause you to cry.
I won't let you leave without telling me why."

"It's our fault that your stone was stolen away.
We told all our friends after you left that day."

"Oh, little ones, don't think of me.
All that I truly love is free.
Natural beauty, a meal, loved ones, a song;
Life's true treasures can't be stolen for long.
Even without a coin to my name,
I make what I need with my hands and my brain.
Money does not make a meaningful life.
Believe it or not, it will often bring strife.
Great piles of gold always bring dragons,
Friends become scarce, and so do one's passions.
A vibrant life, pure soul, and good friends,
Thieves gain none of these things in the end.
I sleep like a babe every night,
But now Arepo must sleep with a knife.
I've had no loss. In fact, my hopes doubled.
It's that crimson lettering that's causing me trouble.
I wrote it all down, for I love to write.
I've never seen a language the like."

He showed them his scroll, mostly for fun
But the children could read it, either the one!

"That is impossible, my young friends.
I'm a master of words, and I'm at my end."

"We can both read it, clear as the day
Ask us in separate; we'll tell you the same."

"That won't be needed, go on my friends.
Tell me what's written. Please don't pretend."

"This stone was enchanted by the Greatest of Mages.
Passed through the gate at the top of Mount Aegis.
Hidden from merchants, priests, and sages
As a guide to land free from theft or invasions.
It is obscure to those who would take it,
Revealing itself to those able to make it.
This cypher will guide you to that strange land.
Pass through the gate, but leave what's in hand."

Satoshi knew then that the gold he had tossed
Was only a vessel for knowledge t'was lost.
He set his resolve that very same day
To go to this place and pass through the gate.

Good morning all you amazing #nostriches and a happy #coffeechain and #baconstr infused Independence Day ‘Merica. Let’s not blow any fingers off today with firecrackers 🧨 🎆🎇☕. What is everyone’s favorite type of firework? #gm #plebchain #gunstr #gmprotocol https://image.nostr.build/9a13890c1479c8d7cfebade7891cf953174e0d7250ff7a602b4edfba55167ce7.jpg


Cigarettes


That’s what I’m worried about. Not to mention what it would do to our foreign policy and diplomatic relations with other countries.

They already think we’re a joke, if the tangerine turd is re-elected, we will have confirmed this for them.


#nostr, what is everyone’s wallet of choice? I’m new so I don’t need anything over complicated. Coin base, metamask?

Thank you. #asknostr


Nom🤤

A bare monstrosity carved of me,
Willingly blind, I lurk oblivious into the inner depths
Lost to the haze of the now
I wish I yielded, melted, wish I shivered
I have pleaded.
So terrifying this transcendence


Noice.


I am starting to believe… nostr:note1yq8ddhydvxspncn08akvxuu2m6f3d9mr7lgjjwjcu6h5wzmapcgs0ggccs


Agreed. I wasn’t trying to disagree, just keeping full disclosure.

People rave about grapheneOS without also mentioning the downside of using custom software.


That’s asking a lot of the average user.

This is a great device that you can make that will allow you to pair a bluetooth capable ham radio to an apple phone or tablet in order to do APRS, emails, sms and other ham radio digital modes over the airwaves.

Good morning. 😊


That was a hell of an opening? 😂

These days I try to stay away from fireworks. When I was 15, I lit of 36 jumping jacks in my pocket while visiting my brother at his work. I shit you nit, if we had social media, I would’ve gone viral, no doubt.

Picture this, you and your fellow college students are in line for dinner, you have your tray on the rails and your slowly working your way to the end, when all of a sudden, this really tall dude who was standing behind the line, next to the cook, starts screaming and jumping up and down?

It only took a few seconds to get their answer, as the jumping jacks burnt away my pocket and fell to the ground, causing quite a display. Between the light show and my tall ass, trying to strip the shorts off, it’s safe to say this was not what you would normally expect to see at the dinner call. 😂🤷🏻♂

In case you’re wondering how they got lit, well, I had also just started smoking that summer and having a lighter in my pocket was a new thing so I would play with it often. Karma, life lesson, all of the above? 😝


Hahahaha


Halfway there. https://image.nostr.build/ba4ad2a1a6da82b3f97049fe81843fbeb82fab7013866b1799116d1e72dbc06e.gif


I really like the colors and the texture pops.


I think that shadow came out really well, looks very accurate.


This is actually really cool. I was involved in a mining farm startup and I couldn’t believe how much energy was used and wasted with mining. Instead of coming up with ways to utilize the heat from the units, we wasted more energy using oversized AC ducts to keep the space cool. 🤦🏻♂


I never understood why they left those warnings in the feed, it makes it look like crap. It’s not like they serve any purpose.


I can’t stop smiling.😊


GrapheneOS is nice but you also need to educate them on what they would be giving up if they use a custom Os.

First and foremost, whether you like them or not, it only runs on one brand of device.

Any past, present or future proprietary features will no longer work.The time is better spent on hardening the Os rather than reverse engineer features not everyone uses anyway.

A lovely warning message on boot up that could put some people off.


Good Morning, #nostr. 😊 https://image.nostr.build/7d481a21117912c847f1db90d3f9612c2a73fe24838e219d0f56995bc5217b06.gif


Switch to iOS. It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly better than anything Android can offer.

At least without having to be tech savvy, forced to use one specific brand and learning how to flash custom software. Not to mention, losing all proprietary features. Oh, and did I mention the lovely message you see every time you boot up? 😂
