 this is just an observation.

when i see a project go silent on the public repos, and then cut a ... 
 its all open, the development is just happened in the dev branch (accessible from anyone on guthub) 
 guys, are you understand the concept of branches? It has been all public in dev branches, I lurked commits real time during last months 
 caching service is not supposed to be delivered as binary and its possible it has not been uptated at all. The source for all platforms where they release binaries have been updated real time. I'm at least 100% sure of android as I followed development directly for last months 
 yes, at least android was all open in dev branch, every commit has popped in real time in the past months 
 yeah, partially agree.. 
 so hiped to have kids, how can someone be positive about future without thinking about bitcoin and to have kids. No surprise of how many depression for the younger generations.
Still everyone needs to find their desires and do their choice, I respect everyone that dont want kids or bitcoin. Its just crazy how many they are. It should be a strange divergence to choose to being poor and end your bloodline, not the mainstream majority choice. 
 incredible how quality and quantity is improving  in nostr clients ecosystem, new @primal is freaking good, smooth battery-included experience. 
Then also the "android microapp ecosystem" is something amazing to have, amber-amethyst-citrine-pokey-0xchat are fantastic. Nothing can compete with nostr, its wonderful. 
 feeling annoyed, lost, void or "without a scope" is the best thing can happen to you if you are able to manage it. 
Facing this low-noise / low-fun states you can really understand and act on a profound level of cosciusness. 
Dont distract with meaningless habits, embrace whats happening, embrace meaning in life.
So good for the spirit, and by a purely pragmatic perspective, so good for "being productive" in the long run. 
 @miljan so cool update, still not possible to "zoom" profile pictures 🙏 
 thanks for this, really amazing work man 💜

 Imagine after bitcoin will surpass 100k$ laser eyes will be adopted by Peter Schiffs & Co. until 100k$. 
 the sad thing is that they will destroy themselves with their bad choices and decisions, they will not even be a decent adversarial and dialectic opposition.

 nah, diversification as a concept is good. Diversification when we talk about bitcoin sucks, because everyone talking about that misrepresent bitcoin e dont consider it the best asset in the world. I'm a big fan of 95-5 portfolios, where 95% is in bitcoin self-custody in privacy, and 5% is in fiat nominal assets, home and goods, its a good diversification IMO.

 lurking on primal codebase I see they are working on something potentially controversial. 
Premium subscriptions with reserved-names and paywalled feeds. 
Prepare yourself, next releases will be spicy. 
 still dont know frankly, it seems a nip-05 like service but it seems very rich in terms of options and possibility. 
 maybe all non-controversial stuffs in the end, we will see. What could make it controversial is the amount of people using primal; it would be the first time we have a so centralized and big pot of bluechecks.

 strongly agree 
 being on meth is probably healtier and wealthier than being on eth. 
 being a bitcoiner in bear market is easy as fuck, theres only one thing to do and the recipe is so simple. 
Being a bitcoiner in bull market is another class of stress, is now that existential threats start:
you should abandon the hated fiat-mine you hate to find a better job for you? Its now time to start a family and make kids, or wait for another cicle of staking? Even simply, what the fuck doing with the money from the fiat mine? Still dcaing at higher high? Sell something at the top for future expenses?

Bear market was a joke, bull market is where you need to be really strong and smart. 
 and, most importantly, humble 
 agree with you, but time is a more scarce asset than bitcoin and its difficult to deal with it 🙏

 nah, microstrategy is irrelevant in the bitcoin scenario. When it will fail, someone else will buy his bitcoin. 
 You’re being judged by people that have less knowledge than you. 
 always has been, best decision of my life has been give them a fuck and do my own errors.
Now I've not only more knowledge, I'm even happier, wealthier and have biggerand harder dick than them. 
 rational coscience thinking is a set of tests for decisions that is useful to detect evidently extremely bad and good scenarios.
Decisions should be made out from the hinner intuition, capable of computing a lot more than coscience.

 every user is distribuited on planet earth in multiple client instances and the idea of facebook as a semantic entity has colonized many human minds, replicating itself everyday across billions of people. its probably the most decentralized. 
 grapheneos is everyday better, is incredible the attention to details. Even UX is perfect in my opionion, its not like many "custom android roms" were things seems to work unless they dont.
Grapheneos is really fantastic.
I'm a fan of "gran baazar" unix-like softwares, and I fear that android will abandon all us freedom lover users when we most need it.
Its a monolith, and when google will do his corporate bullshit move we will need "another google" (in terms of resources needed) to fork this giant mess.
So I always look at alternatives, like mainline-linux + desktop-toolchains phones, like the pinephone, but they are FAR away from being even decently usable everyday.

I enjoy grapheneos, and we will see what will happen. Theres nothing worse than "optimize fro the future".
Use grapheneos today, its foss, its fantastic, Its the best tool available for the job.

 on windows absolutely brave. On a more clean unix-like os I'd go with ungoogled-chromium. It requires 10 minutes on first setup to have all things in the right places, but then it offers the best experience to power users.

 the way you are supposed to compete is making a better product and/or a cheaper one.  A clone cant damage your sells if its a bad clone. A good clone, better than the original, would.
You have based the success of your company selling hws to a niche that understand the quality and the value of products, noone will benefit by your bad fiat move, noone needed this paternalistic intervention except you. The same people that appreciated and respected coinkite are the same that could loose their respect after a move like that, you know, bitcoiners love free markets and fair competition. 
 What’s the block clock drama? 
 seems nostr:nprofile1qqs9v9et20mnqagtgrnrc5qmzcrgmkt2y3087p23vawqlmyczlhfdcqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7wq5uga sued the btcclock project someway. 
Btcclock trying to do a sort off blockclock, the clock from coinkite, but fully FOSS and buildable with generic hardware. Btcclock is mostly speech.

 it seems that the reason they shut down the github was because the site that hosted the website selling the btclock was hosted on the same domain of the codebase. If that was the case, the situation is slightly less bad.
Attack a direct competitor seller and attack "speech" are two different class of evil.
Still a lame move. 
 I dont have one of this, but if its so good why coincuck needs to sue the cheaper foss one? To protect costumer from open scary cheap foss clocks? Thanks for keeping the market safer for all 🙏🙏🙏😭 
 proud that part of sats paid for the expensive signing+board I bought has been useful to legally sue a foss project.

He's loosing respect and a client this time, and maybe many others are doing same thinking. This business move can be good with fiat sheeps, not with bitcoiners. 
 it seems we are 4 people trying to download and 0 seeds 😢 
 taxation require stupidity of people, it seems they are all retarded, they talked of (their) tax like something necessary and good. 
They have educated them to love satan and hate their mother, to hate freedom and love slavery.

Many "bitcoiners" are also retarded statists.
