Notes by rixbee | export

 Sometimes I wonder, do service providers ever think?

Netflix: I often spend time in different countries, staying in various places for extended periods. My nationality and primary service region are clearly evident from my subscription. Yet, every time I use it in a different region, I get recommendations and programs tailored to that region. This includes suggestions based on local popularity. Not to mention, certain shows I can access in one region become unavailable back home.

The same applies to any social media platform, including Twitter (X). It recommends content popular in the local area.

Google and YouTube also push region-specific results, though at least they can be adjusted somewhat.

I’d like to point out to the esteemed colleagues that the Internet is like nature itself. Your current physical location on Earth does not override your cultural roots and preferences. 
 Dear Friends,

I would like to ask for your help for a dear friend of mine! He is Chef Ákos Lokodi, a father of many children—experiencing all the beauty and challenges that come with it—and an endlessly creative mind. In the first half of his life, he worked as a designer and graphic artist, later diving into the world of gastronomy, where he gained national recognition in Hungary.

Now, he aims to enter the export market with his self-developed spice products. Unfortunately, he isn’t present on the Nostr platform yet, so, for now, we can only support him through other fundraising platforms.

Please, feel free to check out his work!

 Heh! This must be in Barcelona at Sant Joan. In two weeks I'll check in person for sure. ❤️😎 
 Something really broke in these systems. The message behind this concept is "we can apply this and you can do nothing against".

Just saying terrible reactions happened after like this in history.

 “I’m not political” 

“Voting is a scam” 

Allow me to be blunt here. 

This most recen... 
 When two people engage in a discussion about a matter affecting their fate, we are already talking about politics. Thus, any issue that extends beyond the individual’s fate falls under the umbrella of the concept of politics. Essentially, any conscious communal activity is politics.

Politics, in its essence, is consciousness. If someone claims they do not engage in politics, they are denying their own consciousness.

Of course, party politics is a different and much narrower concept. 
 If alcohol is so bad for you, then why did Jesus turn water into wine? 

If it’s good enough fo... 
 Before modern times, drinking water was often risky. Efficient water filtration methods didn’t exist, making it nearly impossible to store and keep water clean, especially in southern regions. In contrast, wine was safer.

The following passage from the Bible supports this idea:
“Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.”

So, you’re absolutely right. 
 Keep in mind bro, what did you begin is just like stacking Bitcoin. It couldn't be just an sudden impulse. You don't have to hurry just keep pushing exercise and stacking lifelong. 🫡 
 Anyone else listen to music while they read? 🤔 
 I'm always listening music. Rather I could say I'm doing different unimportant tasks while listening music. 😎 
 THERE IS A WHOLE GENERATION THAT THINKS ENGAGEMENT IS MORE VALUABLE THAN A STRONG FAMILY.

 Many years ago, I realized that it wasn’t worth saving money (fiat). Without much awareness at the time, I felt like I was losing out, so I chose to spend on travel and creating value instead. No doubt, this approach had its drawbacks. Later, I came to understand what Bitcoin is. Even though I don’t have a collector’s mindset, I’m now stacking it.

 It is the natural recognition of Gall's law. 100% agree.

 You say GM, I zap. Simple.

 I’m starting a series to promote digital artists.

The first artist will be Paul Davey, who presents a unique blend of reality and fantasy on the same stage. His characters reflect the brilliance of their creator’s mind. The way he represents the love for his culture of origin is enchanting for all spectators.

He should also learn about #nostr as a great platform for publicity.

 Won't be appearing that new kind of crap on my devices neither 
 I don’t think this can be blamed on vegetable oil. Over the past 30 years, the food industry has focused on maximizing profits. To increase consumption, they’ve employed the most astonishing tricks, like adding sugar to meats. We don’t even know if the increase in fast food chains over the last 30 years is proportional to the growth of the population. Then there’s GMO grain, etc… They’re feeding us garbage. That’s it. 
 Moreover, the way the oil is produced. Whether it’s pressed or chemically refined... 
 I've been practicing >10 yrs to live without these shits. Avoid eating bread and grains, not to drink milk and sugar added drinks/foods, minimized having processed food. To achieve this in Europe is somewhat easier than in US I think thanks to more strictly regulated food related rules. Still... Anyway the point is that you have to know all these about for you have a chance to live healthier. And of course to discuss about freely.... by nostr 😉 
 That's true. A minimum amount of sugar added to meat is necessary because it is the primary resource for all the bacteria. Therefore it will be decomposed by the time. (in brief) 
 Grats bro! I honestly happy for your success, mainly with that horrible thing like cancer. 
It was a sort of revelation to me as well discovering it is possible to change without any serious pain. Despite I've been doing sports from my childhood I eat unconsciousness and had symptoms like returning diarrhea but lived with as like it would be normal. Later after changed I realized I have lactose and gluten intolerance because it's all gone. So it is really important to know all about and being conscious. If something hard a little to find suppliers of clean food. Mainly if you travel across countries.  
 Interesting how these early albums are so underrated. Even considering the band’s opinion as well. 
 Will have effect soon. If something that sure a new component to watch is coming.

 One of my best home movie series experience. It is a perfect vision of creators not knowing compromises. If you have seen once you got just tasted, have to dive in many times to be able to sense the multiple levels of colorful allegories. A perfect artwork! 
 I believe few people truly understand what "network effect" means. Yet, it is one of the most important factors behind why Musk didn't adapt Nostr but instead bought a platform with a strong network effect. It's worth studying and understanding Metcalfe's Law because it clearly highlights the factors that determine the value and stability of information and social networks, based on the number of participants (nodes).

Nostr presents an opportunity in the realm of social connections comparable to what Bitcoin has already established on the platform of economic independence and freedom. It is likely that Nostr has a similar long journey ahead before it can replace centralized platforms.
