 If they’re stupid it won’t be productive anyway. Better to let them know because maybe no one has told them 😂 
 🤣 
 Over an hour since last block. I would assume people are bumping fees needing to get their transactions into the next block and it’s just temporary. Just a guess.

 Yea, coming back down now after a block confirmed. If it continues down with the next few blocks then I’d say that’s all it was.

 Parked next to this car earlier today at Target 😱

 They’re winning so far 🤣

 Hope he survives to enjoy them 😂 
 Must have melted all the rubber off driving so fast to get there first 😂 
 Wait can I game the algos by zapping myself? 
 Depends on the app. Some don’t count it if it comes from your own npub. Easy to get around by using a second npub though. lol 
 🤣 
 One man’s grift is another man’s art 🤣 
 Why waste time coming up with your own prompts? Just find a good IG account and grab screenshot of their images. Post them on nostr. Some morons here are some desperate for “content” that they will zap anything. lol 😂

 @miljan @primal will the next update support the nostr:nprofile, nostr:nevent, and nostr:naddr formats? I see so many broken links in notes when I use Primal because other clients post those formats by default. 
 Maybe Footloose is too “old” for Nostr… 😅

 Parents should probably ban their rock n roll too 😂🤦‍♂️ I agree that the parents, not the state, are the right people to address these issues with their kids. But a “ban” by parents will be just as effective as a “ban” by the state. Kids are going to do what they want even if it’s behind your back. I also disagree with the premise that all social media is bad for kids. Teach your kids. Be involved. Have tough conversations. Set healthy boundaries. Yes. But don’t fool yourself into thinking you can ban your kids from using the internet. Lol 
 Not giving them unfettered access to a smartphone or a social media account is different than not letting them have any access to the internet. Not sure which you’re advocating for because you’ve said both. Either way, I don’t think we disagree as much as we agree. Parents, not the state, are the right people to address these issues with their kids. I’m old enough, have young kids of my own, and they have access to the internet and smart devices with our oversight and guidance. Unfettered access would be stupid. But so is keeping them from learning how to use modern technology responsibly by taking it away completely. Anyway, this wasn’t supposed to be an argument. Parents need to be in control of this for their kids’ safety and upbringing, not the state. 🤝 
 It’s not the same argument because in my case we are talking about actual children and how their parents, whom are ordained to raise them, do so. In the case of the state, they are talking about free adults over whom they want to unrightfully rule with no restrictions. 
 I still don’t know what TBD was supposed to be or do. I guess its future is no longer tbd though lol 🤷‍♂️ 
 What is the best, short introduction I can give somebody to explain the power of self-custodial b... 
 It’s like cash in hand vs cash in a bank, except with bitcoin your cash in hand is still digital and can be used online. 
 I would consider you have a high amount of credibility considering your work with building Alby, but as for resources I like what River has. Of course, they are a custodial service and sprinkle their products into the materials, but they do explain a lot about Bitcoin from basics to more advanced, and it’s organized well.

 If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s that banning a teenager from doing something always works. /s 🤦‍♂️🤣

 Yea, it’s a very shortsighted “solution.” My son (8) learned to play piano from YouTube well enough before we started him in lessons that his teacher skipped him directly past the first couple of books.

 Fingers crossed 🤞 👀😂 
 can anyone recommend a good nostr podcast? 
 Plebchain Radio 🙌 They’ll have BenArc on later today

 “We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.”

 Cool! I have one I got several years ago that I used to play in a folk/rock band I was in at the time. I’m not incredibly good at it 🤣 but I love playing it and the tone is so soothing. Great video!

 One of my friends in high school drove his parents’ 5-speed manual transmission Dodge Caravan. I like to imagine it was his dad’s way of hanging onto a little bit of dignity 🤣 
 Is Primal on iOS broken? Follows not showing as followed and no feed. Trending works, though. 
 Working fine for me. Did you log into another client recently? Might have accidentally nuke your follow list somehow 
 For what it’s worth this is what I see when I look at your profile. Shows your follows there.

 Oh ok got it. When I look at his profile in Damus it doesn’t show any relays configured on his profile. Some clients look for those. That’s probably why he’s having issues. Nostur will work because it has default relays that the app uses. Nostur also has an option in the settings to “announce relays” for your profile which would make them show up in other clients that need them. 
 This was what it shows on his profile vs yours. See on yours Damus shows your relays. On his it doesn’t.

 Hello 👋 
 Now THAT is a screenshot. 
 Pretty crazy bitcoin is hitting ATHs and network fees are single digits 🤯

https://m.primal.net/Lvyk.jpg 
 I don’t know about you but if there’s one thing my nostr experience is missing, it’s the ability to take a screenshot of a note. 😂🤷‍♂️ 
 HOLY FUCKING SHIT, NO WAY 🤯😱 
 A good thing about going on rants is that I always find some account I hadn’t blocked that I needed to. And probably they felt the same way upon seeing my rant. 🤣 
 😂😂 
 @QW 👀🤣 
 “It’s easy to complain about issues and devs on nostr, but…” Yea, and it’s fucken easy to listen to users when they do. 😂💜 
 Stop telling users to go to GitHub and log their issues. You’re here. We’re here and we’re telling you the issue here 😂

 Step 1 for most people: close nostr when it doesn’t work and go back to X 😂 
 😂 Two years and I’m still here so I’ve learned to deal with it I guess 🤣 
 Unify this note/event ID shit please 😂

 Primal does not. At least on iOS. 
 Uh oh, guess what day it is
