 I use grapheneOS, but I still use Google Play to manage updating (most) of my apps.

I have a Google account soley for this purpose.

Suddently tonight - locked out for "unusual activity". Good reminded that these cetralized app stores can do whatever the fuck they want. 
 Yeah I was using Aurora previously to get around having one. I read that its technically not as secure as Google Play has some extra checks in place to help avoid malicious apps. It convinced me enough to go the route I did.

But this is exactly the problem - getting randomly rugged with no appeal. 

Back to Aurora and Obtainium it is!  
 What sort of adversarial interop can nostr implement? 
 Pirate all the good written content on the web and spread it across relays. Make really nice apps to cosume content... wait for them 
 as a side note, it would be great to make that content zappable, and hold the zaps in a way only the rightful owner can claim [once they realize what they're missing] 
 books, long form content, news behind paywalls 
 shit maybe even audio/video files one day. 

Do a Napster, disrupt the income stream until people pay attention

 When you see me in the back of the conference NO pictures please 

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 
 Who's that guy at the back smoking a massive joint... oh nevermind its @Deleted account 
 Wait you guys are paying 🤔 

😆😅😆😅😆😅😅😆😆😅 
 I paid and renewed for Wine relay too, mostly because Mazin seemed to be one of the earlier guys experimenting with different ways to run and setup relays etc.

Of course there are free alternatives, but someone's gotta pay the bills otherwise we'll be back at "if its free, you are the product" before you know it.

I feel sometimes there are wealthier people NOT paying to push things forward though, which is annoying to think about. 
 wtf, is this a bootleg of the bootleg? font is too thick 😆 
 haha no I think its kinda peferct. Remix the remix.

I guess I think of the Lightning Store version as the "original bootleg" but you make a valid point 😂 
 When #WikiLeaks on #nostr ?! 
 Even if sources like Wikileaks choose not to use nostr, I guess content can still be bridged across to nostr relays by a third party, as long as the content is freely available  
 A journalist without a criminal record is like a pub without beer 
 Way too many of those out there! 
 Is Amber app just Amethyst with everything stripped out? #AskNostr 
 is notepad.exe just Microsoft Word 97 without fonts?

 Such a nice little remix 🧘

Also highly recommend the artist, Hiatus. If you like chill electronic like Jon Hopkins you'll love this guy's stuff too.

 awesome! 💜 thanks for sharing! 
 I've been using Primal for a bit on Android, feeling like its time to get back to Amethyst. Its still the superior client imo. 

Kinda can't be aresed to setup those new relay settings though, cant imagine how new users feel when they see that tbh 😮‍💨

Yeah I dont think it should feel like a chore 🫣 
 hah yeah nostrudel is a beast 👏
