Which class of useless office jobs will be eliminated in the next 2 years by LLMs and TTS?  
 That's why you need a VPN! 
 Guys like that never talk about the real issues: illegal trade on nostr relays (digital (CP, credit cards, bank accounts) and physical (mostly drugs)). 

Let's stop pretending that Hitler memes are any trouble, Twitter is full of them.  
 I kinda get the appeal: "I am the boss here"

But it's lame compared to charging users for hosting and not intervening. If we get enough people to pay we'll have real journalism. As much as I'd like it to happen, I'm fairly pessimistic about it. Let's wait for Letr to be released. Maybe it will be some competition for Patreon and YouTube.  
 Perhaps Bollywood doesn't make good movies because they don't have jews and gays? 
 Except for this masterpiece. No drug can make me this creative

 Free relays are supposedly known to delete posts after about 30 days. 

If I am using the #Damus ... 
 It depends. Community posts get kept indefinitely 
 /n/ stuff. Reddit style 
 Can you see this?

 After months of free coffee and donuts I am banned from my local Help Children with Autism Center because they found out that my breathing therapy device was actually a carbon monoxide generator.  
 People saying social media is as addictive as crack have never tried crack. They are so afraid of crack that they won't get addicted. Social media addiction has almost no side effects, and that's why it's worse in a way. Crack will ruin your life within months, and you move on. Social media can keep you glued for decades.  
 $5M allocated to Nostr development. Ditto gets none of that, yet leads relay development.

 Oh nice. Finally spent on something we will actually use. Do you think fedi crowd will be interested in crypto stuff? 
 I saw poast niggas donating monero and it almost made me cry how they figured out funding without grants, and Nostr just begs for zaps.  
 Brittle setup with browser extensions on Android.  
 I thought about shitting on tinygrad, but it'll be done by the author himself in 2 years. Instead I'll agree with geohot on a few excellent points.

1) Crypto needs PoS and marketing. Best money is what the Juden don't think of as money. Could be bongs with gold in them, cars. 

Cash is king. 4% surcharge on credit cards is good. 

Land is a fairly useless purchase without workers. 

2) culture wars are a losing proposition. The only culture that matters is the techno-industrial culture

3) Christianity is making a small comeback. Catholic synagogues, I mean churches, are lame, southern Baptist churches are fun. Atheism is a Jüdische conspiracy

4) energy is vital to success of civilization. If you wanna be a primitive nigga, move to Africa. People in the hood are outside because they have a culture that is realer than computer mediated culture of most modern humans. 

5) complex technologies leave little room for adventure for most. Yet conquest over nature is still the most exciting journey.  
 Are there any volcanoes near you? 
 Is there a nice national park like in Hawaii? 
 Thanks to Ditto, i am now nostr only

 He said in some newspaper that electronic cash needs to have untracable transactions to replace real cash.  
 Have to wait 20 min between tips? 
 Wasted effort IMO, but I'm not gonna hate it for the small chance it can show bitfags that other cryptos can have microtransactions on base layer.  
 Tipping? LBRY maybe. 

All of those crypto projects failed compared to patreon and substack. 

Perhaps I'll start a monero tip service.  subcrack?  😁 
 Are you sure there are consumers to reach? 

My thesis of them preferring twerking lolis on tiktok still stands solid. Folks like Bronze Age Faggot are supported for political reasons, not for their writing. In a way, it's a lame edition of bitcoin assassination pools for federal reserve kikes.  
 The other type is finance related.  
 I read old forum archives instead, or something from the royal society. 
Substack was interesting to see who got the most shekels. Political bullshit or finance. I can't make it in that scene. So it's of little interest to me, but Im curious why folks like you are into it.  
 I prefer discord and 4chan formats to microblogging. Less serious. More ephemeral. We show up, get high, call each other faggots, and raid some political or religious site. That's the fun internet. 

Royal society has high quality publications. Higher quality than Popular Mechanics.  
 so if someone dm me from bsky can the atproto.brid.gy pds admin see the dm before it gets to my e... 
 Yes. Unless you PGP it.  
 Don't use bsky. The admins can see your penis in the clear 
 Post CP, gore, memes against kikes. They'll take it down within a day.  
 No. Just a tip for him to get banned.  
 What is that? 
 I C (P) what U did there 
 Which search engine do you use? #asknostr 
 Every time you talk about inflation I picture you with a blow up doll.  
 i get to see the finale of the psyop
probably gonna be disappointing 
 Always is. Stay up real late, kick back, and spark up a fatty 
 The based flight attendant on my flight has a huge bitcoin sticker on his water bottle 
 Based? Not second layered? 
 If this nigga is not a plant, Telegram will be taken down if it gains enough popularity in the US. You have no idea if he tells you the truth. Telegram is very expensive to run, so whoever covers the costs has him as an anal sock puppet.  
 Might start a fundraiser to fund a bounty that makes an AI bitcoin image blocking bot 🤔

#askn... 
 It can be as easy as OCR for the bitcoin logo/symbol. A bit of processing first. Converting to monochrome. Downgrade resolution.  
 Remember feelingcagey.com? 
 The site is down. Put the domain name in google images. 

Also, why? Just cause I'm from the Onionland doesn't mean I'm always trying to do malice. Just in 99% of cases! 
 I don't blame you. The fedi spergs banned me. I've been called a psycho on the darknet, lol. All respectable members of nostr muted me by now. Why haven't you? 
 AI has a bigger dick than bitcoin 
 I did. Did you even notice? Haha 
 Nostr finally accepts dogecoin. 2024 colorized.  
 This next week I level up my life. 
 You're gonna sell your bitcoin and buy crack? 
 Your own island? 
 So how is it a level up? 
 Nice to have a change of scenery. Are you gonna buy bitcoin posters for décor? 
 Anthracite has been mined to extinction in Europe. This is terrifying. There's gonna be another wave of emigration similar to 1800s 
 If you want an English speaking environment like the Irish, Australia or New Zealand. If you wanna fight the darkies and restore infrastructure, South Africa. If you want cheerful and crazy people, South America. If you want to contribute to a utopian attempt of re-industrialization, the Unites States. If you wanna join a real war, Mexico.  
 The gold market is immune to sanctions. That's why Rusland chose to use it to pay for imported products. Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates acted as exchanges from gold to EUR or USD. Gold is basically cash on country scale. 

Does it mean it's bullish for small scale gold? No. The transport, security, and identification costs are disproportionately high on small scale.  
 Perhaps, but his "all females are potential scammers" schtick is wearing thin.

A universal witch... 
 How is it different from your current account? 😂

Also, I don't even have lightning set up, I'm unswindlable.  
 I'm slowly removing bitfags from my feed. Unfollowing each like pulling a weed. 
Without them it's mostly fedi posts about hating niggers and kikes which are boring too. 

Got a DM from a girl account once, thought it was a bot, but it was a human scammer. 

Overall, I dont see the appeal for a normal person. Still better than anything else (for me) just cause no bans.  
 If there wasn't that much censorship on mastodon.social they wouldn't enjoy doing the opposite. Tumblr made this mistake years ago when dealing with old 4chan. These days 4chan censors too. 

The most interesting part of fedi is matrix IMO. That's also the guys who spam us with CP 😁 
 Why does satellite.earth block Tor? 
 Must be Amethyst/Orbot bug 
 Thanks for checking. Images from them never load. It's strange.  
 They won't. Too much work for them to support verified boot. Hardware cannot be hardened, only software. Google did more for security than you and DC ever did and will ever do.  
 Noskr versuz Skruztlebutz Protocol: The Thread 
 I'd say p2p is definitely a con in the age of the smartphone 
 I’ve started asking ChatGPT things “purely as a hypothetical”

 Still not as cool as GPT-4chan 
 One thing my grandmother with a breathing tube up her nose and barley able to speak told me this.... 
 She didn't need them. Made plenty of extra cash selling oxy scripts.  
 @Yonle

Could you write a comparison between Nostr and Scuttlebutt? This one is focusing on details too much instead of practical aspects and goals. 

https://mattlorentz.com/weblog/2023/01/18/nostr-v-ssb.html 
 Thanks. I mostly wanted to confirm that skuttle is dead. And it is. So even if it's good software, it doesn't matter. At least Nostr has funding for servers (for now)
