 My name in Arabic is Facebook Messenger, but I refuse to use it!

 Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsp2wdswcnnykz6jg5skv34tth9qw34x22ev4l42jcje25hjzt5yxspzemhxue69uhk2er9... 
 Fun chat, glad I joined 🤘 
 Just tuned in. I think your headset mic is not on, you sound roomy... Just an FYI! 
 Yeah her mic was insanely good quality, it was like an ASMR video, then all you guys on the Alibaba mics in the background 🤣 
 The government is now intentionally inflating DOGE. What a joke. For them, it's just entertainment while desperate retail traders risk their life savings and homes. Why not? Most people likely realize they’re in trouble for retirement anyway.

Many will get rekt when the price crashes back to reality.  
 It's wild. WILD!!! 
 Hah, good point! 
 Try not to get mad at me but

I've never seen blade runner

 Bitcoin just crashed to 91k 
 Ok, Bluey needs to f-off. Theres only so much wholesome I can stomach. 
 Haha oh for sure 
 Loool, you nailed it. Yeah "Bandit" can fuck right off. Like, why am I being made to feel like a failure because of an animated dog 🤣🤣🤣 
 What are everybody’s plans for $100K ? 
 No changes, carry on 🫡 
 Silent gloating and evil laughing when I'm alone similar to this

 I know this might come off as a bit nerdy, and I’m not even a gamer anymore, it's been many years - but does anyone else feel a sense of nostalgia for certain game worlds where you spent a lot of time, almost as if it were a real phyical place?

It's like you've tricked your brain in to believing it's real. 
 Haha looks like a nice place 💜🤣 
 Oh man, yep Minecraft is a great example of this 
 Oh damn, yeah I have a "memory slot" for some of the early Jedi Knight games 😍😍😍 
 Oh man, yeah those open world games are so detailed. I used to play a lot of Ghost Recon Wildlands. Pretty certain my brain thinks I Iived in Bolivia for a while - the map was VAST 🤣 
 Creating 300 jobs, disabling and reducing the productive lifespan of tens of thousands though obesity and disease. 

Seems worth it! 🙄

 The whole of the internet is becoming like this. Walled gardens everywhere, it's sad.

It's a huge reason for being here, personally. 
 NOSTR POST 1000!

Here's a photo I took on my Minolta X-700.

 Haha, next stop - 2000 notes. See you in 2027/8 🤣 
 I really need to get out with the camera more. It's so satisfying.

No, I get them developed by a company called The Darkroom but I always wanted to develop at home,. especially black and white because its so much easier. Also the contraptions you can get these days to help you develop the negs are amazing.

I'm certainly no expert on cameras, but I've always bought Minoltas, any of those X series will probably be great. Another poplur one is the Canon AE-1. The main thing is to hunt around for a bundle that looks like it's been well loved and taken care of. Worst thing is getting something that has a moldy lense from being in damp storage or something.

Recommend this very long running podcast as inspiration. They also have a webstore and make their own variations of film stock: https://fountain.fm/show/TfGe3iQT1SU2mIlf7oUp 
 I guess I reply more than I write notes. Here since Jan 2023, and I'm only just about to post my 1000th note. I need to try harder.

Note 999! 
 You're right, it's good to have a healthy note/reply ratio!! 💪💜 
 So, with Alby getting out of the custodial lightning wallet game, I wonder what people will switch to en-masse for zaps?

Obviously, some will switch to Alby Hub, which looks awesome btw. But many will not.

Remember the mass exodus from WoS? 
 I've always assumed you are Canadian. If that's correct then WoS is still an option 🫡

 I like the look of this option but alas I have no node... Shame on me, I know 😳 
 I really hope Alby gets the a ton of people switching though, and paying the subscription. It's crazy what they've offered for free up until this point. 

Actually, I created my first nost key with Alby 🥲   
 Ohh thanks for the reminder. Forgot about that one! That was a really nice app if I remember correctly, nice interface and supports ecash I believe 👀

 My man!! 👀👀 
 Dude, this is awesome. Would buy.

Would buy one that says

I WANT TO BUY RECORDS

And another that says

I WANT TO BUY BTC 🤣

 Ah I see, thanks for the reply. Ended up grabbing it from GitHub, still find it useful to do small tasks for apps that don't support Amber. 💜 
 That would be awesome!  
 Dear people I've zapped, any chance I could get that back? 
 Well, that's embarrassing  
 Bah, gotta do some fixin'  
 When I first discovered Bitcoin (and shitcoins) the price was doing similar stuff - always going up. Clueless about anything, I thought it was always like that. Then it suddenly wasn't. 

You learn quick 😂😭🤣

 Did you ever try LightSats? Works well for stuff like this. Takes care of the "here's how to install wallet XYZ" and you don't lose any sats if they don't bother doing it: https://lightsats.com/ 
 RoboSats is amazing. I especially love the Android version 😍

 Haha... 200 pull-ups to 200k?

Guy is gonna be a damn machine 😂💪 
 Hah! Don't have too much of a break, you'll waste away 😂 
 How quickly after $90k does the coin hit $100k?  Price is right rules. Whole days only. First to ... 
 3 days!  
 I think I'm going crazy, can someone tell me where notification settings are in Fountain? Its like I'm UI blind... 
 Man, I swear there was a "per show" notification menu 🫠 
 Oh, found it! Go in to show details > cog icon > notifications

 This is actually where nip-05 comes in handy, for orgs and company accounts.
