 Who knows.  If it weren't for Non-American President Eligibility, he may have ended up being the next Republican candidate... 
 Get ready for the election of the next president of the "greatest nation on earth!"

This is the cream of the crop they came up with people.

 Follow someone you vehemently disagree with.
You will find many things you agree with.... 
 Why would you use such a crappy browser?
Im not sure if thats the problem, but do you know what a VPN is?

Obviously your country is censoring your access to free information 😟

 🇫🇮🇷🇺 Linux was accused of Russophobia: the company fired 11 Russian developers

Linux founder Linus Torvalds has dismissed 11 Russians responsible for the development of the operating system's kernel, according to media reports. The reason for the decision was "non-compliance with some requirements", but it is not specified which ones.

✖️ The Finnish company was accused of Russophobia on the web, after which the Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds himself commented on the situation.

📝 "It is quite clear why there was a change. It won't be cancelled, and using a few random anonymous accounts to try to "sneak" it through Russian troll factories won't change anything. <...> Please rack your brains, as you call it. I'm Finnish. Did you really think I would support Russian aggression?", he wrote.🤯

 Even better is the Libre Kernel with VirusTorvald blobs removed... 
 Just use a client that supports them like amethyst or nostrudel and add them.  :)

 Foer example? 
 Im super curious. What's your #nostr elevator pitch?  
 "Hey bro, I love your shit posts, wanna get paid for it?" 
 Oh I thought this was a sales pitch, not a moment of truth lol 
 Lately, when I fall asleep, I hear voices -either shouting at me or whispering in a creepy ghostl... 
 If you think about it, are they really not just a part of you just like everything else? 
 Man, I think more about this meme than I probably should. Kinda hits different.

 Hows Juan Guaido doing these days?
Still the self declared interim president? lol 
 Your desire for freedom is incompatible with iOS 
 atleast you can remove the OS on a phone built by google and put something like GrapheneOS  on it 😃  
 #btc noob here and please be kind with my curiosity!

#### how do you measure the value of #btc?
... 
 If you have one BTC, you can measure the value of it by what goods services or money somsone is willing to give you for it. 
 Same as stock market or price of gold or oil/gas.

Nobody decides.   The market decides.
The exchanges calculate what buyers are willing to pay, and that becomes the price.  Same as groceries at the store.


But soon everything will be priced in Bitcoin, even dollars will be priced in Bitcoin. 
 That is awesome.
But Bitcoin is crypto.
Its actually the only one ;-) 
 Thank you!
Please boost my humble effort! 😄  
 aye captain! 😃

 Literally the whole point of bitcoin is self sovereignty. Removal of third parties. Your own keys... 
 That's sexy energy! 
 From now on I am only zapping using my own lightning node.

Is there yet a RELIABLE way to receive zaps to your own node?

I am expecting this to be a long thread.....

#asknostr 
 Yes this works for zapping but not for being zapped.... 
 Yes but what about the zapping address? 
 vanity address to receive zaps directly to my own node. 
 I am a firm believer in the old adage "it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool ... 
 What did he say now lol? 
 Omg. Totally missed that.
Wtf.  Do you think he was threatened or he is really such a pansy? 
 Sad. :( 
 Buy land in secret. Build the house in secret. Then do the house warming party with publicity. Date in secret. Propose in private. Then marry in front of a crowd.

Let your haters only see your reality, never your vision, or you will have division.

In a game of chess, you don't speak. You just act. The only time that you ever speak when playing chess is to say checkmate. Life is like chess. Don't broadcast your intentions. Act quietly.

Keep achieving. Your achievements are your checkmate. 💯 https://i.nostr.build/SvHKUaFlIqRcBsLw.jpg 
 I think I'm okay with pay to read relays, but pay to write, free to read still seems silly and ba... 
 No thanks.   Nostr should be fee for everyone. 
 Threema vs SimpleX Comparison
Anonymity

Threema: Users can sign up without providing a phone number, but it’s still possible to link an email address or phone number to the account. This leaves a paper trail, making it less anonymous.
SimpleX: Does not require accounts or user IDs. Users create profiles and databases stored on their devices, ensuring complete anonymity.
Decentralization

Threema: While Threema decentralizes some data, such as contacts and private keys, on user devices, its servers still transmit messages using end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
SimpleX: Decentralized messenger that doesn’t rely on centralized servers for message routing. Messages are routed using temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers.
Cost

Threema: A paid app with a one-time fee (currently $3).
SimpleX: Free and open-source.
Features

Threema: Supports voice and video calling, group chats, polling, and file sharing. Requires a mobile app installation for desktop use.
SimpleX: Supports group chats, voice messages, and sending file attachments. Does not have video calling or desktop app support.
Security

Both Threema and SimpleX prioritize security and use E2EE. However, Threema’s reliance on centralized servers for message transmission raises concerns about potential vulnerabilities.
Conclusion

SimpleX offers stronger anonymity and decentralization, making it a more suitable choice for those seeking maximum privacy. Threema, while still a secure option, has limitations in its anonymity and decentralization. If you prioritize complete anonymity and decentralization, SimpleX might be the better choice. If you’re willing to compromise on anonymity for a more established and feature-rich messaging app, Threema could be a suitable option.

Key differences:

Anonymity: SimpleX offers complete anonymity, while Threema leaves a paper trail.
Decentralization: SimpleX is fully decentralized, while Threema relies on centralized servers.
Cost: SimpleX is free and open-source, while Threema is a paid app.
Features: Threema has more features, including video calling and desktop app support, while SimpleX is more basic.
