 ### The Obama/Biden Marxist Regime's "Title IX" Ruled Illegal

From Liberty Council:

"The U.S. Supreme Court voted 9-0 to uphold the preliminary injunctions that block the three provisions of the Biden administration’s new Title IX Final Rule. These provisions include the new definition of sex discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, sex-segregated spaces, and hostile environment harassment.

Biden’s new Title IX Final Rule infuses “gender identity” into the definition of “sex” and would apply sex discrimination protections to those who “identify” as the opposite gender. The rule would force women to share private spaces with gender-confused males while mandating the use of “preferred pronouns” in schools and colleges receiving federal dollars."

 I USED TO COMPLAIN.

NOW I FOCUS ON DOING MY SMALL PART TO ENABLE SOLUTIONS. 
 Socialism is a society where democracy has taken hold. 

Socialism (aka forced collectivism) is always justified on the name of Democracy.

Democracy robs freedom of choice from minorities.

Unalienable rights guarantee the rights of minorities and individuals.

An unalieanable right is a right that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority vote. Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court. Government institutions cannot add qualifiers to unalienable rights.

America is a country of unalienable rights. The Constitution does not grant those rights. The Constitution explicitly tells the government that it cannot, and shall not, infringe on those rights.

 This is one of the most profound things I've read in a while.

Goes along with Marxist Herbert Marcuse's essay titled "Repressive Tolerance" where he says the leftists must suppress the thoughts of the right to the point that the thoughts of the right do not enter the mind, while extending tolerance to the left, even if the left is violent.

 “If its free, then you’re the product”

Does this remain true for nostr? Discuss 
 This is generally not true with open source . . . because the minute open source projects start collecting data, they get branched, or people abandon using them.

For example, the [Simple Tools App Suite](https://simplemobiletools.com/), which was bought out to a company known to collect data, so it was immediately branched to the [Fossify App Suite](nostr:nevent1qqsx0fl5rxzvgz89jctm26ze64hxyeskmmrw3yw290xfjwzms8e9tdqpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqpayf9jw) 
 Well .... technically it is more of a coal emissions vehicle than your desiel. 
 Electric vehicles use electricity that cones from coal power plants, therefore they are coal emission vehicles.

Desiel trucks use oil, so they are oil emissions vehicles.

So technically EVs are more of a coal emissions vehicles than a desiel truck.

### What is Linux Phone Convergence?

Aside from privacy and security . . .  "convergence" is one of the main appeals of Linux phones.

Convergence means your phone can be docked and used as a computer.

Linux phones are leaps and bounds ahead of Androids and iPhones when it comes to using your phone as a computer. This is because Linux phones run desktop Linux apps.

The phone in the video is Purism's [Librem5 phone](https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/), which is currently in stock for $649.  It may be old slow hardware, but Purism is one of the main developers of Mobian Phosh (the Debian version of Mobile Linux), so they have things working fairly well on their hardware, but nothing even close to current Android or iPhone.  DeGoogled phones are definitely the best options at the moment (Aug 2024).

Purism's other phone, their [Liberty phone](nostr:nevent1qqs056gmgknkwf4yrs3rwqdmwsxaqste7u53n6zqusndq0fcjzyx25gpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp54rfj8), is the only smart phone completely made in the USA, with the exception of its removable WiFi Card being made in India, and its chassis in China.

Here is an [overview video of the Librem5 and some if it's issues](https://odysee.com/@TheLinuxGamer:f/librem5-final:1).

 I don't know how SIM-swapping works.

How we prevent it? 

Can an eSIM be SIM-swapped?  
 An eSIM is a programmable chip soldered to the PCB.

That's what I use when I set up my locked down kids' DeGoogled phones. That way they can't pull the SIM out and throw it in another device that isn't locked down, to gain Internet access. 
 🚨 It appears that app stores are complying with a secret order to block access to VPN apps.

D... 
 Stay steps ahead of them.

Run Nostr. Run DeGoogled phones.

People like to compare Bluesky and Nostr because they are built ar... 
 💯 Nostr is definitely a movement.

If Bluesky were a movement it would be of the bowl variety. 
 What's the best Open Source currency converter for Android? 
 Do you mean how much of one is worth in another, or do you mean convert from one currency to another currency like an exchange house? 
 I don't know of a dedicated app.

The Cake wallet has conversion built into it's "Exchange" pane. 
 Anti capitalism? Crony "capitalism" is more fascism than capitalism. The merger of private business with government is fascism, whether it be by force, or voluntary, it's still fascism. By force is much more obvious and worse. 
 ### How to use Nostr without a phone number or email.

1. Install any Nostr app, such as [Amethyst](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vitorpamplona.amethyst), [Damus](https://damus.io/), or [Primal](https://Primal.net).

2. Create an Account.

That's it. Enjoy.

Switch to Nostr.

Additional steps (not required)

3. If you want to get Bitcoin tips (zaps) going, install the [Minibits](https://www.minibits.cash/) wallet using the https://zap.store

4. In Minibits, copy the Minibits wallet address (using copy icon in upper right of profile), and paste it into your Nostr profile under LN Address, using any Nostr client, such as Amethyst, Damus, or Primal.

And just like that you're zapping and receiving tips.

- Nostr is an open source protocol
- You own your Nostr account, and cannot be banned from Nostr
- You own your content, as long as you also broadcast posts to a backup relay you yourself run, such as [Citrine](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine), which runs locally on your Android phone. You can install Citrine using the https://zap.store

 The courts will make you split Bitcoin just as much as other assets. 
 I seem to remember someone posting about a Nostr mobile app (Android) that also had a local relay... 
 I only know of Citrine, which is only a relay running locally.

You can only see it from your phone. You cannot connect to it from the outside world.

So if you post something from a web browser, or an app on another device, you'll have to come back to your Android device and go find that post and then re-broadcast to get it onto Citrine. 
 The complicated aspect about the Social Security system in the United States is that it was false... 
 Social Security was opt-in since its beginning until Ronald Reagan, when the Democrats and Republicans made it mandatory. 
 Nostr is better at attracting nice people, maybe it's slow to grow because most people are toxic ... 
 It's slow to grow because it's not being advertised or being pushed by those pushing narratives.

Those pushing narratives don't want free speech, so they'll never push it.

It's open source, which doesn't have advertising money, so we're left with word of mouth.

If you've ever tried to grow anything through word of mouth and your inner circle, you realize 99% of your friends and family could care less

Advertising to complete strangers has always been the most effective way for me and my family to grow a business. 
 Complete strangers that are looking for your services, I might add. You have to be where people are looking for your product.

This is why Yellow Pages were so effective.

Bearded pregnant women are weird

Drag dudes dressing up and pretending to be women is beyond weird

Hating yourv own body to the point of chopping off body parts is beyond weird, it's psychotic.

Queer Marxism is demonic.

 
 Nostr is not struggling. Pay no attention to the fiat maxis. 
 Is someone claiming Nostr struggling? 
 Dad's got bills to pay! 
 I was thinking the same thing.😂 
 Can't see this. Which relay is it on? 
 I have 2 AC unit's that need replacing. 😳 
 I wonder.... If you install miners inside the ducts... can you clock them faster in summer because the AC cools them, and help heat the house with them in the winter?  😂 
 Media from Nostrcheck.me never loads when I have Amethyst/Garnet running through Tor (Orbot).

 I was wondering what the role of each of those categories were.

Thank you. 
 Can you use Citrine as private and local?  
 Well then. This is the way. 
 Youth sports are indoctrinating our kids as much as public schools.  
 Sports are pushing the agenda as well for sure.

The schools are pushing it far more than people realize.

Read "The Marxification of Education" by James Lindsay, and " The Queering of the American Child" By Logan Lancing and James Lindsay.

If you don't have time to read right now, James Lindsay has a website and podcast called New Discourses available at https://newdiscourses.com , and on Youtube, and Rumble. He does brief ~15 minute bullet points, and longer 1 to 2 hour podcasts that go more in depth.

Look for the series "Groomer Schools" ... as in grooming kids into becoming radical Marxist revolutionary activists, just like Mao did with kids in China through the public socialist schools. 
 I know what you're saying. Some of our kids are in sports. Cheer is the worst, if you ever have to deal with that demanding schedule.

People schedule extremely busy lives around 2 or 3 kids. If you have 8-12 kids, like most of my family, you get to the point where you're like, "Whatever. We're not doing it."

We don't allow video games or socidal media in our house. I give my kids locked down, DeGoogled, kid safe phones when they turn 14. (No Internet, no Social Media Apps) We also keep out called TV, MSM, and no Disney, Netflix filth in out house either. We bittorrent out entertainment now, plus wholesome streaming services like LivingScriptures, PureFlix, AndelStudio, etc.. 
 I have it installed outside of Playstore using zap.store 

No issues yet, but I also disabled Playstore.

I haven't paid of my phone yet, so I can't DeGoogle it, and I gave all my DeGoogled phones to my kids to protect them. 
 People that think mass resistance to tyranny will work simply because “what will they do, arres... 
 Yep. And don't forget Marxist Mao.

I'm reading "Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning" which is a new book from a Chinese lady that lived through the Chinese cultural marxist takeover in the 1960's.

She is showing how what happened in China with the Chinese Red Guard, and Chinese cancel culture, is almost identical to what is happening today in America with Antifa/BLM riots and LGBT, DEI, CRT cancel culture. 
 Saying humans can't live without government is like saying animals can't live without farms.

 Freedom of speech and the right to denfend oneself against things like oppression and aggression are unalienable rights.

An Unalienable right is a right that you are born with, and it cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority rule. It can't be legislated away. It can't be ruled away by a supreme court, and government entities cannot add qualifiers to.

Governments claim they can infringe on unaliebable rights, but they have no authority and no moral justification to do so.

The US Constitution doesn't grant these rights. It explicitly reminds the government that it shall not infringe on unalienable rights. 
 The more I learn about Nostr world🌐📚 , the more I forget about all the other social media! 
 There is enough in the Nostr ecosystem to make you forget everything else.
