Hello Jess, welcome aboard.


I’d be more worried about the embarrassment being seen using X than any fine.

X lol


Thanks man. 👊🏼


Big tune.


I’ll ping you the audio, thanks for checking it out! I’ll dm a link in the morning.

Streaming is still a new thing for me so the production is pretty lofi!


Thanks, appreciate the feedback! I know it’s not the most visually engaging, I stopped putting me in, then a couple of people said they liked it so I put it back, yeah the chat might be a good idea, I’ll try some things out. I might switch over to PeerTube soon too…

The biggest thing at the moment is the exercise of learning how streaming works. If I can get the production good I can start talking to my boss’s management, then get some really cool shit going on but I want to know I can pull it off first.

Will keep playing around :)


Yeah these are what I would call absolute bellends.

The mad thing is them not realising how much their brains have been mangled by US government propaganda since birth. Anyone any different to them is a commie red hiding under the bed. It’s not the 1950s anymore.

Anyway, you’re cool as far as I’m concerned.


Here's today's Kali Mera Show hosted for all eternity on PeerTube, the only take downs will be if I say so!

Played a whole bunch of loveliness today from Massive Attack, some very early Roots Manuva (pre first album), new Beth Gibbons as well as Unique 3, Gangstarr, Jeb Loy Nichols, Foreign Beggars and loads of other goodness.

If that's your bag, give it a listen, send some SATs and maybe come join us next week!

Well this is fun...

‘Police state’: Pro-Palestinian group condemns UK government moves

The UK-based Palestine Action group of activists has criticised the reported arrest of a member for online posts, as well as a raid on the address of one of 10 previously arrested members, and the issuing of charges against another for supporting a “terrorist” organisation.

“This is what you call a police state – one which is trying desperately to protect the interests of a foreign genocidal entity,” the group said in a post on social media.

In protest at the war on Gaza, the group has been focusing on disrupting weapons manufacturers in the UK that supply arms to Israel.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/8/29/israels-war-on-gaza-live-israel-warned-not-to-extend-war-to-west-bank?update=3147916

But all those chemtrails are coming out of his head?!?!?! Look!


I agree, at this stage Nostr is an amazing community if you're a dev or an avid money enthusiast...

It doesn't particularly bother me, maybe that's part of what I like (even if I don't quite fit). I think there's strength in building organically. All the world having all the things... all the time, is a pretty new concept. Maybe it's more like a wave and we're on the downswing of global communication? If that's the case it puts Nostr in a pretty strong position. Things like tech support groups could be very useful here... That's something most companies seem to outsource to social media.


Better still “sources close to…”


Smaller online communities are much better at policing themselves.

Thinking back to forum days, some of the conversations were wild, sometimes pretty bad taste but communities set their own boundaries and people who didn’t adhere to that eventually got booted.

What Facebacon and Twitter did was create a free for all where everyone could interact with everyone else. But trying to get consensus on a global platform, without some common interest is pretty impossible. I’m sure Jack would have a thought or two on that…

I don’t think people’s sense of free speech being threatened would’ve been a problem without these big online mega-corps.

If you were a dick in a forum, you’d get booted but what might be appropriate in one forum could totally be the vibe elsewhere.

I don’t have any grand ideas about how to fix the internet but I do have a strong sense of what I like online.

I’m curious how communities will develop long term. I won’t be posting about Bitcoin or the Fed but appreciate that’s a very big part of peoples’ identities and that’s cool. I like a currency that bypasses the current system. My feelings around banking run very deep but it’s not something I want to discuss in public.

As the great Horace Andy sang, Money, money, money, is the root of all evil.

There’s music, art, science and nature to enjoy too and I’m here for that.


Tom was real. Zuck and Musk are no replacement.


If Tom joins Nostr that’s Nostr officially the winner.


Morning! How are you this fine morn?


Getting more love via Ko-Fi than Nostr Zaps at this point in time.

I only run on independent internet, I host my own server and don’t fuck with the big tech firms. Streams are only listed on Nostr and The Fediverse.

I like both platforms a lot. At this point there’s a much more developed music community on the Fediverse.

I know you all listen to music at some point! I’m unashamedly a niche within a niche within a niche and that will not change.

These are the facts so far. Still long Nostr. Always short X, Meta and other outdated, legacy web pages. My server still has better uptime than X!

I’m here to make my internet experience cool again.

MySpace was banging though…


Recorded today’s stream and will host it later so if anyone’s curious about what goes on, you can take a listen. We had 7 tune in with good stream quality today. Getting better tech wise!


It’s carnage here!


Great poo lube tho…


Ahh ok, don’t worry, there’s at least 5 people here who don’t know how to code. I’m one of them!

An english pop band managed by Malcolm McLaren, they had a couple of hits and disappeared. It was actually pretty dark as it was fronted by a 13 year old girl and McLaren was getting her to pose nude all the time but the AI elements added so much unintentional hilarity it took the darkness away.


And Martians be Martians again.


I watched what appeared to be a completely AI generated documentary on the band Bow Wow Wow on YouTube last night.

Aside from the content about the band, the auto generated images for when they didn’t have pictures was hilarious.

Is this the future of YouTube? Bodes well for videos made by humans… if they can be bothered.


Agreed although I noticed people will like to stay on Nostr…

For example preferring zap stream vs an independent website streaming. At least that’s been my experience but I dig the vibe of this post a lot.


The most underrated perk of #Nostr (specifically the lack of algorithm) is that you are not punished for posting external links.

On X, Instagram, and all other centralized social media platforms, anytime you post a link to ANYWHERE off the site, not only is that post's reach crushed, but future posts are demoted as well, as your entire account gets put on the algo's "naughty list" for directing people off-platform.

Think of how many awesome sites, resources, personal art/blogs etc. across the internet have NOT been shared, as users are bludgeoned into bending the knee to this tunnel-visioned way of communicating.

It's a silent attack on perspective decentralization, and people's ability to share high-signal content by independent creators who've made the personal choice to curate their content in a more sovereign location, apart from any particular algorithmic prison.

#Nostr fixes this.


It’s not just truth censorship, it’s the promotion of lies too. Just look at the impact that had on the UK a few weeks back.

People are incentived to make things up for engagement, that’s also pretty terrible.

Happy to be here.


This platform is what you make it.

I have been chasing this story since October 2023.

I spoke to sources in Gaza whose Binance accounts had been frozen – The addresses they provided were not listed in Israel's official seizure orders.

https://m.primal.net/KRqe.jpg https://m.primal.net/KRqf.jpg

I was then put in touch with Turkish and Saudi Arabian nationals whose Binance accounts were frozen, who were allegedly told to contact Israeli police.

https://m.primal.net/KRqm.jpg https://m.primal.net/KRqq.jpg

The claim that Binance is freezing all Palestinian accounts, to my knowledge, is not correct. And this is what kept the story from being published.

Palestinians in the Westbank appear to be unaffected, while Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were only affected so long they had a certain balance in their account. But we couldn't figure out what that threshold was, as communication into Gaza was effectively cut off.

So I reached out to other news outlets hoping that I'd get help investigating the story. I reached out to CoinDesk editor in chief Kevin Reynolds, both via email and on the personal phone number he gave me – and got ghosted.

I reached out to Forbes, who were initially interested in the story, but Forbes refused to let me publish under my pseudonym.

Just recently I reached out to Bennet Tomlin
 and Cas Piancey of Protos and got ghosted there too.

In November 2023, a journalist from Reuters contacted my source to write about the account seizures, but dropped the story as well.

Binance owes us an explanation under what legal framework it seizes the accounts of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip not listed in official seizure orders, and under what legal framework it seizes the accounts of foreign nationals on behalf of the Israeli government.

Binance Admits to Freezing Palestinian Accounts at Israel's Request

The company refutes claims that it seized funds from 'all Palestinians,' clarifying that only 'a small number of accounts' were restricted. The exact number of affected users remains unclear.

PRIMAL NOSTR - GROW NOSTR 💜🧡❤
APOCALYPSE ANONYMOUS by
ATOSHI ANARKOMOTO

Steve McQueen was a complex, conceited, and challenging actor. Known as "The King of Cool," he was an actor who developed an anti-hero persona and appeared to be a great fit for the 1960s counterculture movement. His repertory of iconic films included Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Cincinnati Kid. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in The Sand Pebbles. Despite being notoriously tough to deal with and frequently belligerent with producers and directors, McQueen's reputation made him highly sought after and allowed him to collect one of the highest pay-per-film rates of his generation. A mismatched blend of dapper gentleman and street thug, he had good taste in vehicles, music, clothes, and yes, even women.

And another thing... X lol.

Like seriously lol.

X haha.


Yeah it's an ActivityPub protocol so Fediverse but the makers are clearly taking an interest here, I don't know them but the V4V plugin is pretty telling. It's cool to link all these tools up. The Fediverse takes some flack for various reasons and I understand but if it's your server, it's your rules and bridges exist between Nostr and Fedi, which is very cool.

I still de-federated Threads and BlueSky though, I have no interest in those companies!


I know most folks here are Nostr only and that's cool, I get it... There's also self hosting tools like Owncast and PeerTube. Great for hosting work, be that music, tech, chat, funky socks or whatever, both open source and simple to set up with something like Yunohost. No need for YouTube or Twitch... Control your data.

PeerTube supports V4V, I'm still to test it for streaming but I've hosted a bunch of music on my server, ranging from old pirate radio tapes recorded in London in the early 90s through to a lot of my own productions.

I don't fuck with Spotify, g00gle or any of those vultures, it's a harder road to travel, there's a lot less dopamine and it tests the brain trying to figure it out but it's cool at the same time.

Thought I'd share seeing as people are getting kicked of YouTube. People talk about Rumble etc. but it's just another YouTube in waiting.

Not your server, not your content.

I'm totally into taking the internet back. Governments AND corporations are cunts. Seems like government gets all the hate round here... I like to distribute it a little more fairly lol.

My tastes are niche and that's the best thing about it. I'm not a coder but can still set this sort of thing up. Happy to chat to anyone interested in this sort of thing.

Link is my PeerTube, different to the Owncast I stream from... all from the same parent domain.

Zap here, there and everywhere.


Is that all people called Max?


Yeah, literally just me playing records and some background info if I’ve got something interesting to say about it. Was a lot of dubby stuff this morning but I play quite a wide spectrum. A lot of jazz, some prog, electronica, hip hop, whatever I’m feeling in the morning, no plan other than the first record.


I think I first joined a year ago but only saw a few posts about Bitcoin but I've been solidly using this place I guess about 6 months now? I'm now checking this before the Fedi in the mornings. Still got a lot of love for the place but it's often only one perspective, mixing with here provides good balance.


If anyone's wondering why this dude's just playing records... Every so often I play friends stuff, stuff I've engineered or acts I've caught out and about, picking up  their vinyl, more often than not as a means of tipping them for a great show.

It's a diverse mix for sure, you might here something you've never heard before and fall in love...

Hi Amber, sound engineer and music maker from the UK here. Nice to meet you!


We played at the festival, I took acid, had a great time and then nearly quit the band on the drive home…

Orbital were good though!


Did you go to the eclipse festival that sort of flopped?


And how do you mean? Not being someone in retail this doesn’t make sense to me.


Not everyone agrees with each other here…


Well all the national treasures are so inclined… Harris (Rolf), Saville, Edwards, Glitter etc.

Rioters have often been harshly treated, remember the kiddies jailed for nicking bottles of water in the riots after Mark Dugan got killed?

I think the main reason for this new interest in two tier policing is tier rhymes with Kier… That’s typically the level we’re working at now.

Interestingly he was DPP during those previous riots.

That woman’s t-shirt looks awful.

I’m just chatting bollocks now.

I still wonder… for example, in the UK there was a tower block fire where approx 70 died. Lots of compromises were made to save money, the materials used were substandard, causing the building to burn way faster.

There was indeed government corruption, or at least some in government had links to the companies responsible. However, that’s all after the event. It was greed that caused the initial problem, the corruption was an also ran.

It’s likely the truth won’t come out fully for many years, there’s other disasters followed the same path.

In a minarchist state (I guess) what could prevent that kind of greed and psychotic behaviour taking so many lives?

I don’t trust the psychos!


I play/make music and chat shit. Happy to be here.

Following those tags. Want to learn more!


Welcome aboard.


Very friendly bunch you work with!


Same, I'm still not sure how free markets fix crony capitalism? I try learning as much as I can, I'm not exactly pro government, I've seen some of the corruption up close. I don't understand how folks don't become corrupt once the amass vast amounts of wealth, no one, to my mind, has solved the psychopath problem.

1% of humans are of that type and they appear all over the place, in government and in business. I try to keep an open mind but I've yet to find someone frame it in these terms.

Perhaps I need to read Hayek or something? He always comes across like a massive kill joy though.


I'm not a capitalist - I don't have the capital.
I'm not a communist - I don't live in a commune.

I'm not sure what I am right now other than stressed lol.


Can I vent a frustration here, don't want to be a buzz kill but...

Being on the phone for hours to unsuccessfully resolve basic issues has seriously killed my vibe for the day. It's 12:48 and all I've done since 9am is deal with Babylon.

When Nostr for customer care and tech support?!

If you're ever wondering why so many people hate capitalism, it's experiences like this. Total enshitification of all customer services. Sure, you could blame fiat and money printing but I honestly don't think that's what causes corporations to slash customer care at every opportunity. The profit motive and legal requirement to pump stonks is all that matters.

Some situations you can use small, localised services but this isn't possible for communication or energy companies.

I understand the some arguments about free markets but I don't understand how it resolves the issue when every company does everything possible to reduce costs ( oh wait, lol inflation etc.) at the expense of customer support.

Relying 'AI' systems and call centers far away is utter bullshit. You finally reach a human, on a poor quality phone line, speaking a second language, with a very limited capacity to help due to the restrictions of the computer system they're using.

The irony of them working for a communications company... Argh!

How does Bitcoin/Nostr fix this? I'll also accept help from Santa Claus or Beelzebub at this point.

I'm sure we've all been there...

Crisis of his making...


I’ve sometimes thought that, especially giving my tendency to shitpost but ultimately it meant having a music account where I interacted less often and ended up with fewer engagements.

Slow and steady is my take. We’re not burning through capital like Sam Altman here.

Very low on caffiene, that’s misery inducing.

My sincerest sympathies.


Cheers, I’m on every weekday morning. :)


Good morning!


Opinions….


Agreed, they dominated SPACE, that’s the hardest thing for musicians to do, take the guitar part of Walking On The Moon. One chord strum and it’s powerful as fuck.

Great musicians and a highly original band.


Good morning Connie!


Good morning!

It turns out the early reports we wrong, all wrong. Now for thdd ex group out there that had such a hard time coming home last night, sorry about that. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song….

I didn’t report you, report you to whom, the CEO of Nostr?

Going on like that though, I’m sure plenty of people would though.

Serious cope lol. Your genes not gonna make it.


Well here and Fedi in my case but no centralised corporate bollocks either way.


Screenshots of ‘freedom of speech’ type posts on X are entirely comical at this point in time.

X lol.


Define native? How many generations until native? What about the Beaker folk? Or the Romans? Or the Saxons?

The size of the bicycle has nothing to do with genealogy, though of particular interest for smaller people…

‘Third world rabble’ english sperm is weak lol.

Evolution will do its thing wherever folks originate from.

Loving the irony of you labelling yourself a nomad though…


Jack D such a bully taking Jack M’s hat like that.


I quite like it tbh. Beats getting shot for no reason.


Assuming this is real…


Slightly related I saw a VW yesterday modded by a company called Method Van.

Thought that was pretty cool…


Tea Leaf Dancers over any crap that computer thingy spits out.


LOL X

No mention about Elno censoring content he doesn’t like…


About time someone sanctioned the USA/Israel for a change…


Before and after...

Houthis are sanctioning effectively israel for its criminal acts and thebwest for supporting israel


It is The Telegraph, not the most reliable publication but still take the win…


Gwan Houthis!


It’s Peertube, a self hosted YouTube alternative.


With all the red, blue, orange, purple, black, white pills people have/are taking has anyone considered they might have a bit of a drug problem?

The sound of pirate radio on cassette is very special to my heart!

I have a fair collection from the early 90s but also loads lost over the years.

Some are hosted at https://video.mxtthxw.art if that’s your sort of thing!

It’s worse than that… there’s all the ‘crypto’ ones too.

I’m on the Fediverse bwahahaha (different account though).


I can’t see what this is in reply to for some reason… who are the YY28s?


I need gigs that don’t involve waiting around for ages that’s for sure…


I think the average commoner in his time would’ve found some of his stuff a bit long.

So I am putting it in that context. I was being basic as your post inferred language used in fancy ways is a waste of time.

Plus I wanted to call him a cunt for no particular reason…

Carry on!


Just on my phone but sounds cool!


Very cool!


William Shakespeare was a cunt. Hope that helps.


That’s already happened a couple of years ago to be fair.


That sounds exactly like the sort of thing a Sagittarius would say.


Welcome aboard, I post about music and cats if that’s your bag…


There’s no way I’m making an account on X.


If you’re not arguing with the left you’re not on the left…


Run away!!!


Already is…


This post is a psy-op.


Bitcoiners already buying politicians, when do you think they start buying media?


Self host is the new orange.


Ola kala.


Yeaargh you going to yeaarghborough fair?


Self hosting is the way forward imo…

It’s a tough road for sure but we need to take the web back from mega corps.


Morning!


Always amazes me how some people can do so much in such a short time. Despite the early death, they packed in the same action as a 80 year old.

Make great music and you become immortal.


If I were rich I would’ve made as many ear puns as I could in the short time available. That’s the only way I see value in that situation.


Nice, have a great weekend!


Melt!


Did the same last month, wishing you a very happy future together!


Nice, sounds like an incredible gig.

Goose morning!


And to you too!


I’m never in an intellectual safe space, I’m constantly confused.


Ah fair enough, I don’t have hate for Elno, he’s never even been round my house.


Lovely, great player!


The job today is a bit mad, I can only get access to the site between visitor tours so I do 30 mins work and then have to endure this for an hour!

Won’t finish till 11pm though.


In what way, as a saviour for communication platforms?

We don’t need him or Zuck, the protocols exist to do without them both. If other folks don’t understand by now that’s on them.

Everything is a choice.


I’m currently sitting here, which is nice… #Nice

Man if only you knew the dramas I’m having with them at the mo, trying to transfer the account from my wife to myself has become the most bizarrely difficult thing ever! I’ve spent 4 hours in total so far and it’s still not sorted.

I can’t increase the bandwidth more until it’s my account. I may yet still pull the plug on them but then I might have the same bollocks from another company.


There is no like button. Some bastard smashed it.

That’s the post Elno paradigm.


Is there anyone there? If so lol.


Thanks man!


Good idea!

Agreed, no intention to stop, I'm sure it will happen at some point!


Deutsche Bank has terminated the account of a UN accredited human rights activist.

AML/CFT laws are routinely weaponized to silence dissent without any recourse or due process. It's the outsourcing of policing powers to private institutions without democratic oversight, where the presumption of innocence and right to fair trial do not exist.

AML/CFT needs to be abolished today.

It's weird, whenever I get letters with "Help from HMRC" it always involves me paying tax.

It never has anything useful like how to avoid tax, you know like the richer folks do. :studyphil:


I've included an address on every invoice since 2018. Still yet to receive a payment in that format. Closest has been Zaps here.


One sitting in the helicopter, one sitting outside the helicopter and one sitting on top of the helicopter.


Ah I’ve read the 4th turning but not the new updated one. I’m a bit behind on my reading, the local bookshop closed so I bought a few in their closing down sale.

The world is definitely descending into something and there’s some very obvious power plays in action, especially with the tech overlords.

We’re hoping to escape somewhere warm at some point but I’m still waiting on EU passport, got Irish family so I can get citizenship there. Still need to work out how to earn a living remote though!


Ahh fair play. So full retirement then?


Cheers and you!


Cheers, I’ve been finding it a really nice start to the day.

I burnt my hands. I don’t see what happened to the ice cubes next because ouch.

I'm very aware of that, I'm just taking the piss....


Hang him! (don't hang him).


Also just delete X. If you have a following and just disappear, folks might actually get it... eventually. Staying on X only feeds the beast and wastes time.


Speak for yourself, I've been doing my thing and I've never used X. I'm streaming str8 goodness in the mornings, get more Indie Web folks by not banging on about money and "owning the libs".

I don't know how many folks here have hobbies outside money? That's a good start.

Each one teach one. No context Phil Collins ftw.


Grim.


Damn. No one criticise the Israeli regime or else…


The #UK apparently arrested an independent journalist named #Richard #Medhurst after he landed at Heathrow in London under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000: "expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation".

Hello both of you, have a good one!


Power back on and OK DNS reset! Maybe ok....


Bugger, we just had a power cut. This may mean no stream this morning.

Typically this changes my DNS settings when my server goes down.

I’ll do my best!

Fuck Elon, he gets a bit of competition and he does this shit.


Hehe, good morning both of you!


Indeed. There was nothing in the article about weakness found in the encryption.


G’nite.


Good morning to you and your alter ego.


I don’t do any of these. Maybe mild online trolling, nothing to write home about.

Sorry ladies, I’m already married…


Wholesome


Can I?! Win!


On the Fediverse all my emojis are Phil Collins. If I had that here I’d be very happy.


For the record, I don't mean people who said a naughty word on Facebacon, I mean people that barricaded a hotel full of people and set fire to it. The fuckers deserves what's coming to them.


If it's swapping out some dope dealers for a bunch of racists I'm cool with that. Yaxley Lennon would be great, swap him for my mate Dave.


Dunno m8.


Genuinely cool guy, not in the 'Rock God' sense but in the basic human sense.

- Markdown support 📝
- New toolbar & responsive tools 🛠
- S3 file storage 💾
- And a ton more!

Agreed and more broadly there needs to be more ways the two groups can communicate without being fired up with rage bait.

Will take a bit of work though, a lot of folks will see Nostr as a hard no at this point. I try to keep an open mind, I know I have a left wing bias and I’m very socially liberal. Trying to find solutions in a world thats clearly fucked!

I get all these RegionalHodls confused tbh.


I like Peter McCormack and he’s a great interviewer but the moment he advertises a service I get the hell out as quick as I can.


+1 for forums b2b aim/msn messenger


I’ve looked ad Britain and that dude ain’t hodling any of it.


Having seen what my other half has had to contend with I don’t think a human even sees most the applications.

Some arbitrary data points are fed into a computer and applications are auto filtered.

I do, both the VPN and browser although it doesn’t play nice with my home network so one machine is on a Proton VPN.


Yeah once X has full kyc and banking it’ll be really cool!


Tell that to Ossue Ardilles.


As far as I understand yes but then I still don't fully understand how the ISPs don't know, given that's the on ramp to the web.

I use the net loads but I haven't a clue how it actually works to be honest. I just hate being spied upon 24/7!


What about total censorship OF twitter? lolz


It's mad, there's a whole bunch of folks talking about having kids, family values and working hard 9-5 on the look out for normies.

I remember the days when it was all the weird, freaky people were the weird, freaky people. Musicians, artists, bohemians, goths, travelers etc.

Pretty sure I don't lead a normal life but then maybe that's meta normal? I've no idea these days...


Come round my house and I'll show you. I run my social media company, documents, music streaming service and live stream company from a little second hand ThinkCentre. More uptime than X and Zuck doesn't know when I take a shit either!

We can have a cup of tea and do some mushrooms if you like?


Innit. I wonder if there's a way to circumnavigate ISPs altogether? Can't even fart these days without someone trying to monetise it.

Oh also, they have got a questions form at the bottom of the website.

Maybe a stronger force is at play here. Some parts of the planet are highly developed others massively underdeveloped perhaps there’s a correlation between the two. Birth rates could be the big equaliser of humanity, more so than energy, disease or climate.


Maybe you don’t think nature is cruel but others have directly stated the opposite.

People are free to say what they want, some of the discussion about people without children is pretty crass.

It’s all moot anyway, even if Big Bitcoin Account has 20 kids, it’ll barely make an impact on North American birth rates.

If people want advice on fucking it’s probably best to check folks from Central Africa.


With the US election still months away, I wonder which side will come up with the hardest diss track?

So far the blues have got Weird and the reds have Cat Lady.

There’s going to be tears and at some point calls will need to be made to parents.


Just be scared of all the things. Only Orange Man can save you.

Politics is so basic, it’s embarrassing.


I appreciate it’s a wonderful life changing event and that’s amazing. I also recognise that more particularly women but also men can feel a sense of shame for not having kids.

I thought humanity had got past that but in recent times I’ve noticed this more, I’ve seen a number of pretty crass takes.

Yeah nature can be cruel etc. doesn’t mean we have to be.


But with such limited life experience how could they possibly do anything good?


“This is not to say childless can't contribute positively”

That’s most magnanimous of you but wouldn’t it be better to cull childless people at the age of 40, least they try making a contribution to the world somehow?


That song deserves more years in prison if you ask me.


Lovely!

On a related note, we got a new test pressing in at work that’s on some new Bio, eco-friendly vinyl. Sounds decent too!


I was speaking to an upmarket chef the other day, he mostly ate Chinese takeaways because he couldn’t be arsed after a day’s cooking.


Andreesson isn’t real. He had a beard before.


The new Beth Gibbons album is dope.


Nice, wasn’t aware that was a thing. I’ve very much been in a musical bubble since doing less live sound.


Much better than listening to that Regional Hodl guy, I learned things with this, cheers.


Where do non Spotify users go to check for new music?

I always dug record shops but these days you’re more likely to find second hand record shops, they’re cool but I miss having a way of keeping up with new releases irl.


Hello


Would be better if it was America’s Got Talent…


Why?


In what way?


I read it and read it again. Current birth rates in many countries is below 2 so by your metric the commies are winning.


Thanks, you too!


Morning Mike!


Nice! Pretty worn out today, lots of heavy lifting yesterday for work, fortunately a nice relaxed day ahead!


Morning Cristalina, you good?


Could be!

Morning!


Thanks. Now I’ve dealt with this I can get on with the rest of my day…


No he isn’t.


So people who can’t have children are now communists?

What’s the next thing to be politicised I wonder…


Hello, welcome aboard.


This is why I never leave come without a concealed computer keyboard.

#LifeAdvice


It’s funny how many folks in this world think they’re on some profound next level shit because they have kids.

It’s a bit boring.

By all means focus on being a good parent but have some basic understanding that not everyone is in the same situation.


* can’t vouch.


I’ll have to find the article, my wife saw it, it’s one of the people convicted following the UK riots.

I can vouch for the accuracy of it but after a day of lugging speakers about it sounds like a tempting career change…


What does your missus think about you posting while making babies? Sounds like you’re doing it wrong.


I don’t think so, just chatting shit on X it seems.


I just read that someone was making £1,400 a month as a keyboard warrior?!

And here’s me lugging speakers about to earn a coin ffs.

Good, just off to work but should be a fairly easy day. Sun is shining!


I read “the fillings aren’t real” and thought someone was taking you to task on sandwiches and confectionery, something not covered at all in Broken Money…


Nice piece written in 1973 about original Pink Floyd writer/guitarist Syd Barrett.

Possibly the saddest thing I ever read was him turning up at the recording of Wish You Were Here but that’s another story…

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/06/nick-kent-pink-floyd-syd-barrett-classic-profile-creem-1973


Ah cool, hope you like! No worries if not, nice meeting you.


Morning SatoRi, you good?


Morning!

No stream this morning, got a PA gig so need to haul my arse to that but normal service will resume on Monday. Might do a bonus round Sunday if time permits.


Bit unfair to shitcoins if you ask me.

RegionalHodl bloviating again about how other people should live their lives?


I have done masses of research to be honest, only enough to know that much.


If you keep them in the gas is re-absorbed in the body and the gas escapes through the mouth.

If you're wondering what all the cool kids have been up to in the mornings, they've been listening to the Kali Mera Show.

I'm uploading some of these to my PeerTube instance, along with track listings.

As I understand it PeerTube also supports V4V so check that out if you're so inclined. Thanks to everyone who has listened and supported. I have to say it's a very pleasurable way to spend the morning, beats doom-scrolling!

Still waiting for new router but bandwidth should increase significantly soon.

Nostr would be more popular if there were Phil Collins emojis.


Nice, will check that out for sure!


Indeed, did you see the film?


I wonder if she’ll do a rap about it?


Indeed with each bringing something to the table. There’s some great videos of Ginger Baker battling back in the day. He was the only European drummer the likes of Tony Allen respected.


Probably because they didn’t have access to the US gov…


First time I’ve listened to that record in years.

I like the internet, I think it could be popular.


Morning Connie!


Hey SatiRi, hope you’re good this morning!


Good morning.


Does this mean you’ll be zapping more now?


Or Nazis


If you can’t answer serious questions about things it’s probably best you’re not a teacher full stop, whether you’re a Nazi or not.


I’m going to jump to conclusions based on my existing biases without reading the article. Hope that helps!


Public sector employees buy crack on the Silk Road?

So violent crime must be decreasing amongst young people?


Scorpion tail.


Agreed. Getting accidentally rich because buying crack on the Silk Road seems to mess with the ego a bit.


Ouch, yeah I know it’s the middle of the night for most here but it’s the only time in my day I can reliably make free.


Holy fuck, big up the techs at this theatre. Funny fuckers!!

Yeah I start on time!


Thank you to the folks listening in this morning! Glad the stream is becoming more reliable. Onwards and upwards!

Fuck those guys.

It might just be a cycle, I feel like the Fediverse definitely has periods of drama followed by calm.

I wonder if price action also plays a factor? I guess it’s probably lots of things but I guess my point is, it may bounce back a bit once events outside the computer change.


Morning!


Morning Ava, have a good one out there!


In what way? Do you think it’s due to wider political tension in the US or is it unrelated?

Just curious. Then been a lot going on, the riots in the UK have revealed quite a lot as well.


Good morning!

My DNS is ok this morning, that’s a relief.


Yes, that's why my social media company is based there. I can do what the fuck I want and I'm very, very popular!


Vag in a church ftw.


All that money but can’t get a good dermatologist, what’s that all about?


Mullvad…


How are they measuring national laziness? Seems a complex measurement. What is the average? If I’m doing better than that I’ll take it.


If I was running Guantanamo I’d swap out the Barney The Dinosaur for Donald Trump speeches.

Folks will be admitting to shit they never did in no time.


That said, I don't always share the same stuff...


Because my Fediverse app is to the left of the Nostr one. That's about as much as I learned at school.


Yeah and what?


Good morning!


Instagram?


Dead people in the Middle East?


There you go!


One day I will be a huge account giving profound life advice like…

GET IT RIGHT, DON’T GET IT WRONG

 … and I’ll earn billions of SATs for my deep knowledge.

#DontBeAfraidToDream #etc


Different strokes for different folks. Dancing is productive, the entertainment business is pretty big. Some people aren’t cut out to work in construction. Horses for courses.

Tik Tok is shit though, no argument from me there. It’s the biggest platform for the music industry right now but I have no desire to participate there. It’s akin to smoking crack as far as I’m concerned.

I’m also waiting on the Benjamin Netanyahu Peace Dance…


Gonna do an Anthony Philips special later in the week. I’ll also put some shows on Peertube soon to archive.

If you don’t know by now, I can’t help you (maybe a search engine can).


Wait till they hear about Liechtenstein…


Heart attack.


Guns n’ shit?


To add on… Remain curious: For example, I wonder why the website to buy drugs and guns was called The Silk Road?

Empires rise and fall. Humanity’s first empires were, ironically in North Africa. Who knows where future empires will form? We’re only here for a few decades.


Weird how some Bitcoin enthusiasts are proponents for mathematical truth yet hate North African culture. Love guns but are ignorant of Chinese culture. Especially when hailing from the USA.

Maybe stick to Roman numerals and bow and arrows if you want to preserve western culture so bad?

We all borrow culture and humanity keeps on to the ideas it likes best. An awareness of history is healthy too.


Typically I delete stuff because I’ve said something dumb and I want less visibility for it personally, ok so it might be slowly decaying like nuclear matter on distant relays but at least I reduce the visibility of it for me.

Sure it could come back to haunt me, in the same way a screen shot would but it’s typically bad grammar and typos that haunt me.

If anyone’s interested in some non dev opinion on the matter…


No show this morning. The DNS gods have unleashed a pox upon my server.

Normal service should resume tomorrow.


Morning, I’ve never used X so I’ve no idea who you are but you seem to be pretty popular, welcome aboard!


He seems quite happy there… also two cats who would quite like him to stay for dinner.


A MI5 pigeon broadcasting every thing we say to Kier Starmer is the last thing I need right now.


Oh shit!!!


Meh. Mind you, it had a good run seeing as video killed it back in 1980.

The music biz is pretty fucked these days. Keep on keeping on…


Came home from work to find we now have a pigeon. Apparently Frida bought it in and it doesn’t seem to be able to fly. Otherwise it seems fine, maybe just a bit shocked after having a meeting with a cat.

The question is now what?!

#Pigeon

What does he know eh?


Elon is French for bellend. Hope that helps!


Agreed.


To be fair I want to censor that from my own ears too but I appreciate some people like that kind of thing.


It’s nice because he uses so few words even an idiot like me can do it.


It was definitely typed in his voice!


Ah yeah, bound to be a bit of that. “The people who owned this before were very bad people, not like now, now it’s owned by very good people but let me tell you, those people before were very bad…”


Didn’t that happen pre Musk? Big tech seem to be pumping loads of cash to Trump’s campaign so I expect they’ll be best buddies.

Sounds horrific though. X is rubbish.


Maybe MySpace is better in this regard? Pretty sure Tom's still about somewhere.


Good to know you can't eat a sandwich in the land of the free...


Agreed. I tried to look at a few sources but there’s a hell of a lot of shit online!


It’s when you do a think I think.


I hope so, it would be in her best interests in the long term.


It's interesting...

The Telegraph are reporting the Russia link and are using a university professor based in Doha as their main source. The BBC took a different approach and looked through articles on the site until they could find ones attributed to actual humans, which is where it came to the American based in Austin and a man in Lahore.

Comparing the two sources is difficult. I have a strong bias against the Telegraph, known as the Torygraph colloquially due to their support for the Conservative Party, with former PM Johnson being a journalist there and the owners, the Barclay family have had their share of controversy. The paper has a very strong anti-migrant sentiment and have been so for many years now.

That said, as the state broadcaster I don't have much faith in the BBC either although there was some evidence of research opposed to the Telegraphs approach of asking someone for an opinion. But again the BBC news department has strong ties to the Tories and The State I assume is incentivised to quell anger?

Reading up on Robbie Gibb is a blast!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Gibb

I'm trying to delve deeper, most of the news stories are bullshit and mostly consist of politicians grandstanding and chatting shit.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/03/obscure-russian-linked-news-outlet-fuelling-violence/

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y38gjp4ygo

Sky News actually include some data on how the story propagated online

https://news.sky.com/story/southport-attack-misinformation-fuels-far-right-discourse-on-social-media-13188274

So maybe I'm incorrect, definitely worthy of more time, that's of course if I can find the time!


True but there are tools that can help reduce the risks. If these become more widely known that could help.

I mean we’re all going to hell in a handcart but we can at least try to enjoy the ride!


Can confirm.

Interestingly the terminology being used by Starmer is ‘disorder’ a very wide ranging term.

Was it you who said he was making entropy illegal? Someone did and it’s a fair point, we’re all hurtling toward disorder.


Not kept up, what’s the latest?


UK Home Secretary says “UK has lost respect for police”.

Well yes, yes we have. Probably because they employ rapists, wife beaters and murderers, that’s never particularly popular.

Top tip: Don’t employ rapists, wife beaters and murderers!

You’re welcome. Stay tuned for more great advice…


I think it’ll be a while before that happens to be honest. X has too many rich pickings to keep the old bill occupied.


If something good is to come out of the riots, maybe after time they’ll be more of a push back against surveillance?

It’s worth noting that in the same time the riots went on 22 protesters were arrested at a power plant, which has mostly gone under the radar.

Recently some protesters got prison sentences of 4 years. One of which was jailed just for being on a Zoom call.

I’m sure some, due to a political view point, will agree with the sentencing, as others with an opposing political outlook will feel the same about the rioters.

For clarity, I’m not a fan of people who smash up mosques because a dark skinned person did something. There’s very specific words for those kinds of people but I don’t want to live in an authoritarian state either.

The only solution I see is that we grown networks like Nostr, the Fediverse, open source and privacy focused tools, self host what we can and try and get our irl friends involved. It’s not easy but over time I hope more people will realise they can leave the walled gardens and enjoy the open internet again.


Yeah I much prefer my posts to be ephemeral online. If I say something I want to stick I have a blog for that.

This place for me is akin to a chat in real life. I don’t want those captured for eternity either, although in this country maybe they are already…

Morning, woke up to a DNS issue...

Me - Hello DNS, how are you today?
DNS - Fuck you n00b


Well obviously…


Failed to notice you are a dog though.


True but you have Epstein and his network so it’s level pegging on the lizard paedo network.


Fair enough, music’s a weird one as you have to juggle absolutely hating promo, versus doing some sort of promo to get gigs. Ironically, focussing more on my craft would likely mean building more of an online profile. Instead I’m only on Fedi and Nostr!

Pre Covid I was doing a lot live sound but it’s not an area I particularly want to be doing more off. Been doing this shit for nearly 30 years now!


Define real job? I’ve always tried to work in things I’m into and at some financial sacrifice.

I’m experimenting with learning new skills which from the outside may look like monetising my personal life but in this day and age, the boundaries are a  lot less well defined.


Was just curious if you were on the ground there… to be honest this was the first I’d heard about unrest in Serbia. Tensions high across the world and I do worry about our sources of information these days. Any number of forces could be pushing for a particular outcome and with peoples’ living standards decreasing it’s easier to manipulate.

Or it could be they’re just pissed odd about lithium, hard to know for sure.


Good, just off to a friend’s little gathering on the beach. You?


It was first reported by a news outlet which at first glance appears to be based in Lahore, India but on further investigation seems to be in Austin.


I feel lucky I’m not in Israel period. Surveillance + apartheid + war sounds like a proper bad vibe.


Checks out, my first thought was no but there you go!


But originating from Texas? That's the bit I don't quite get with regards to Russia. If it was London then very likely Russians, a lot of Russian oligarchs are based there.

Then again, isn't Texas a red state? There's a red under every bed...


Well that would be a fair analysis but without me planting nice plants they’d be fucked.


Interestingly Orwell’s take on free speech was the freedom to speak the truth.

Using freedom of speech for speaking the truth seems pretty wild sometimes. Especially in the context of big accounts on X.

Fingers crossed more people will work out better options exist.


A podcast about George Orwell https://overcast.fm/+AAQLhVG9jxY


Beavis and Butthead joined the police?! Didn’t see that coming.


Hi!


The Middle East is a complex topic for sure. I’ve family in Lebanon and my uncle was the Middle East correspondent for the FT during the second Iraq war. He lived in Tehran, Beirut and travelled extensively through the region (even spending a short time in Iranian prison). He left the FT after the US State Department blocked his interview with the Iranian President. It’s pretty deep.

The USA, UK, Israel and others have unquestionably sought to destabilise the region since even longer than the last 40 years. Before Israel there was ‘British Palestine’ (wtf). Hate breeds hate. And now the same energy is being used to destabilise the UK itself.  What I don’t understand is why.

In all honestly I wish my uncle was still alive, I’d have so many questions for him!

In the meantime we have to navigate this clusterfuck as best we can.


See I think there’s a power play going on. Balaji Shrinnivasen talks about the network state and I suspect the likes of Musk see this as the future.

I know most folks are vehemently anti state here and understandably so. We could be seeing certain players understanding this and destabilising states to bring in some new version of governance. The difference being they are the new kings and we enter the era of techno feudalism.

I think there could be better ways of organising ourselves as societies. But what Shrinivasen proposes has extremely authoritarian vibes. It won’t usher in a new era of freedom. They talk a lot about libertarianism but they really mean for themselves, take Peter Thiel for example, he pours huge amounts of capital into surveillance and death tech. What’s libertarian about that?!

I don’t have the answers, I’m just some dude who messes about with noises for a living. But I can self host my own tech and use free and open tools where possible. Ideally I’d like to circumnavigate both dystopias!


Morning Mike!


Agreed that’s part of the story. Without money these people would have no reach. Yaxley  Lennon isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the box.


I try to. I came to this story late and waited for the noise to die down first but it’s quite weird reading Americans stating what it’s like here when they’re not aware of the full picture.


There’s a great book by Byron Tau that details how social media became the main tool used by three letter agencies. I’m also in the UK so share your experience if non stop surveillance. I hate it and try steps to minimise it. I don’t use big tech companies, except when I really don’t have a choice for work reasons.

I agree with everything you say but disagree that there wasn’t anti-migrant sentiment. The ‘small boats’ meme has been a constant factor in at least the last 3 years. The misnaming of the murderer was propagated from a news source in Austin Texas. The State is not the only battle we are facing. The surveillance is in collusion with big tech interests. We need to maintain a critical eye on this. Reducing everything to ‘the guberment’ misses the whole story.

People even opt in for surveillance with their doorbells and Amazon boxes! As if phones weren’t bad enough…

I’m planning my escape but there’s things I need to organise in order to do so.


Also, the whole Austin, Texas thing really bothers me. Why did the lie originate there?


No trust me, people were kicking off about immigration. The ‘stop the boats’ meme has been strong here for a couple of years (fact is migrants arrive on rubber dinghies). But there’s clearly more going on in terms of peoples anger and tension here. I’ve seen enough posts on here, although still originating from X that clearly demonstrate a lot of people blame all problems here on migrants.

It is the law here that minors under the age of 18 have their identities protected when involved in criminal activity. That’s not some shit I’m making up. Nor is it something I’m saying is right or wrong, it’s just the truth.

A lie was completely fabricated about the identity of the murderer. It appears to have originated from a news source at first glance based in Lahore, India but further investigation leads to Austin, Texas. The lie then propagated on X.

I take your point, there’s definitely some fuckry going on but there’s key points missing from the dialogue I’ve seen here which is then run with from people across the globe.

Islam has been the bogeyman since 2001. It’s been cynically manipulated in this case.


The State is the UK is very powerful, typically anyone try to push it one way or another are destroyed. Assange and Corbyn are recent examples.

Smashing stuff up is easy but I’m not convinced that’s a great way to attack the state. The speed at which rioters are being processed is evidence of that.

Appreciate you’re just making throw away comments for the lolz but if you live here it’s pretty serious.

Personally I’ve tried through political means, a lot of people got involved in politics in 2017 who hadn’t been before, the attempts to progress through democratic means were crushed, not by opposition but from within the political party.

I currently try to live away from the banking industry and take steps to minimise surveillance on me. It’s a full time job and I’m just some dude who fucks around with music.

I’m looking for answers, obviously getting out is front of mind, I’m applying for an EU passport and researching was I can use my skill set to earn money online.

There’s a lot more happening than a basic free speech issue going on here.


Sing it out, release the energy 🤝

There appears to be 6 bees that regularly come to my garden. I took deliberate actions to attract them.

Does this make me their god?


What I don’t understand about the people calling the riots in the UK protests. The murderer of those children was a 17 year old Welsh kid who went to a Christian church.

Why were there protests outside mosques and those mosques got smashed up. Why was a Holiday Inn housing migrants set fire to with its occupants barricaded inside?

There’s hundreds of things to protest about in the UK. Nearly everyone is broke. There’s obvious answers to that. What I’m curious about is who benefits from misdirection? The initial reporting of the fake name and back story seems to originate from an office in Austin, Texas and was propagated through a number of politically motivated accounts on X.

What was their incentive? Was it purely to drive engagement or are there other benefits from disruption in the UK?

I’ve seen a few things on here now that seem like distortions of the truth. I thought it was widely known that news sources such as Fox, CNN, The Telegraph, The Guardian have strong biases and have often reported untruths but they’re shared uncritically as the message confirms to existing biases. I’m not above this, I’ve certainly done it in the past but I’m trying to do better.

This is a long way of saying people are quick to kick off when given a little bait.

What do people here think?


People are pissed off the world over. Is that where you’re at?


How do we get more anglers on nostr? Maybe the marketing dept will run a new campaign specifically aimed at them 🤔!

Personally I can’t see the world through an entirely money and market based lense. It’s certainly an interest of mine but there’s music, nature, society, science, a wealth of knowledge on topics I know nothing about. Humans have amassed knowledge on so many subjects.

I don’t have any answers for anything, how you live your life is up to you but I need to curate my feed. I like variety and there’s also a lot of political stuff I could do without.

Going to look for a guide so I can do this a bit better on here. If there’s any good reads on the subject, link me up. Cheers!


I read this sitting in the garden, drinking tea and the sun is shining.

That rare moment our intellects align.

Sort of like iron.

Thank you.


Done…


Damn. So the rumours were true, it exits!?

Ok Nostr does have some unique features.


Not sure I’d be thinking about Rothbard after eating those… enjoy yourself!


Morning!


Such a classic track, album, group.

Beth Gibbons has a new solo album out which is fire!


Good morning!


Good morning to you

To be fair using Facebacon in 2024 is pretty unforgivable...


You killed a ghost and now you’re eating it?!


Need a pic of you cramming that in your gob!


Thanks, I put a lot of time and effort into that!


More interesting to analyse the paths of misinformation. People straight up lied about the identity of the murderer. That lead to a fair amount of violence. What was the incentive?

It costs money to get that reach. I agree the uk gov are bellends but there’s a whole heap of misaligned incentives on Musk’s webpage. I don’t use it myself and remarkably I haven’t looted any phone shops or smashed up a mosque in the last two weeks.

I guess that means Nostr fixes something?

A gig’s a gig. The money would come in handy.


Does the UK government still have it's account on Gab or Truth Social was it banned from there? I hear it was banned from shitposter club.


Not Shitposter club!?!?

Arrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!


I can't believe folks are getting gassed over Banksy's latest stencils. Surely it's just a real estate scam by now?


Exactly, for example take the shitty web page known as X. It's owner causes all kinds of shit posting bollocks and this makes governments sad, in fact Mr Musk often says oooh bad governments etc. but take away all that government cash and there goes Tesla, Space X and who knows what else. On one level it's silly games but on another, some pretty bad shit happens.

I don't have the energy to go into the details but I think they're pretty well known?

Anyway. Long live the independent internet.


Some say everything governments do bad.

Others say everything corporations do bad.

I'm very happy both sides'ing this.


Agreed but I also think those tech platforms have too much power but I don't think break them up, ban them etc. I think stop using them. It's a simple as that. Stop making those bellends money.


We just had riots here, which was interesting... A lot of damage.

If it means we become North Korea but I'm Kim Jong Un, that would be cool wouldn't it?


I got excited when someone posted that the UK Gov got suspended on X but it appears to be bollocks. People will just share any old shit it it appeals to their biases.


If they can include accommodation and return flights from the UK I'm up for it. Is there a Happy Republican one I can do? May as well get a few in.


What about slapping people with a wet fish if they're bullshitting? Free speech is cool but when influential people make stuff up that leads to things kicking off, they should be slapped with a wet fish in public.

I'm up for it (the slapping, not being slapped).


I'm fucking massive, if only I was good at tech.


I ratioed him on here once. I got 6 likes and he only got 2. Ha! Take that Jack.


What if Fiat Jeff sold Nostr to somebody cool that every likes? You know like how Twitter did with Elon Musk. Then everyone would want to be here!

Peter Thiel seems pretty groovy, what about him?


#Nostr is the best protocol for ensuring freedom of speech.

I love how I started this streaming malarkey without a single clue of what I was doing!

Appears there’s loads more to it, especially seeing as I’m doing it from home, using my own hardware.

But who wants easy right? If I wanted easy I could just have Musk and Zuck take care of every little detail of my life but no, I’m going DIY because it’s punk as fuck and quite frankly, I think those guys are bellends and net bad for society (no matter what X fans think lol).

So I will continue to learn how to do this, on my own terms, using my own little computers and then I shall rule the world! Bwahahahaha.

Yeah I wasn't aware it was out and someone I know posted they were listening, I found online and bout after hearing a 5 second clip. Love hearing peoples' solo stuff when I like their band, you get to really hear what they brought to the table.


But also nor was there fast communication lines.


Meth lab.


You got any other abysses?


Do you have your own server or just go direct?


Yes, a little later. 7.30 utc I think, just chilling with my cat for a bit!


Good morning!

Just upgraded our broadband package, get a new router in a few days...

In the process I'll see how I can simplify things here... There's a 30m Ethernet cable running to the shed but they're sending out range extenders too.

Finger's crossed I'll be streaming like a streamy person then!


Scary picture!


And no issues? I upgraded out Internet package today so a new router should arrive in a few days. It’s 5 x upload than we currently have.


Short it imo.


Question

When using Zap.Stream or Tunetr what's the primary reason for using them.

Nostr integration - watching from the same client as your feed
Bitcoin integration - ability to zap easily
Chat - Well chat

Or something else? I'm still really struggling with drop outs on both Zap.Stream and I'm not sure I'm even broadcasting on Tunstr. I have everything set up right as far as I can tell but all I see on the home page is old streams.

I know much of the issue is this end, my upload speed was down to 2.3Mb/s but my own hosted stream is a lot better, with way fewer drop outs.

I'd value any feedback. I want to get this right and I definitely want to keep it indie where I can stream on my terms. I want to connect with music fans directly, without a massive corporation in the middle creaming off the profits.

I'm not giving up on this. There's a nice little crew building but it would be great to get more Nostr heads active and I want to see the V4V model work.

Morning squire, how goes it?


I’m keeping my dumb car for as long has humanly possible. I’m not sure what I could contribute to the car building process. I could test/build the sound system I guess.


Nice.


Good moaning.


Kuwait’s Got Talent was lit this year.


I make points about disinformation not because I want to suppress speech, nor do I want to see any new laws or surveillance on people.

I make the point because when you look at the paths of the disinformation it’s clear there’s is manipulation at play and a whole bunch of suckers are fooling for it.

Some people didn’t like Twitter because it was biased against them. Others are now the same with X because the bias has shifted but ultimately people still dancing to someone else’s tune. Maybe they like X because it conforms with existing biases. Just ditch it! Public square my arse.

Incredibly I even see someone here posting that X should also have control of finance and politics too?!

Open and free internet doesn’t mean give the keys to the internet to a single entity, that’s a terrible idea. Imagine the ETH DAO hack, except this time it includes governments and intelligence services, not just shitcoins. OK cool…


Nearly everyone in the USA is an economic migrant within an handful of generations.

That’s partly what bothers me with all the  scapegoating going on. People who move to seek out better lives typically do a lot for economies. Occasionally something horrific happens because 1% of all humans are psychos and we haven’t found a way of dealing with it then every migrant gets tarred with the same brush as some psycho.

Last night a whole bunch of wankers in the UK got a big fuck off from neighbourhoods across the country. Cool!


It’s still an entity controlled by 1 person. So why give the power of money, politics and intelligence to one entity? Sure you can say DAO. That just makes me think of Ethereum turning back the clock when a bug in their code cost them money!

What about when a bug in the code makes political or intelligence decisions? That could easily lead to all kinds of problems. This has clusterfuck written all over it.


X man I don’t even know where to begin. I still don’t get where you’re coming from.

A ‘decentralised’ platform but under the full control of a single entity that uses it as a personal vanity project. It makes no sense?


There’s been serious disinformation at play. The horrid murder of those kids was brutally manipulated for political means.

The lie that the murderer was a recent Muslim immigrant can be traced back to a news source in Austin, Texas, propagated via X by the likes of Farage and Yaxley Lennon and those seeking to capitalise from social unrest. A lot of people blame immigration for being poorer. That’s a shame coming from people in the bitcoin world, who typically see themselves as critical thinkers?

I’m not surprised things have kicked off but I’m saddened by what caused it and who has been scapegoated for it.

The dude who killed those kids was born in Wales. He didn’t arrive on a ‘small boat’ (rubber dinghies actually). He was born and raised here just like you or I.

I actually live on the SE coast. I’ve seen the rubber dinghies land on the beach. In fact we went and helped them. Why? Because we’re fucking human. The reproduction rate in the UK is something like 1.4 per couple. 1.3 in London. With that rate no one will be able to care for an increasingly older population. That’s a fact. I know a lot of people have strong feelings about that, well either folks start fucking or without immigration the UK will decline steeply in population size.

We all have choices on who to blame but when it comes to societal decline. Is it the money? Is it immigration? Is it this, is it that? Setting fire to a Holiday Inn housing migrants, often from countries mashed up from the tools of war produced in the uk, that ain’t solving anything. Nor is blaming whole religions, colours or class for tension. Look up, not down!

Horrible that you’ve been made to feel unwelcome here by a bunch of bellends.

Fix the money, fix the world or go and smash the windows at a mosque. We all make our own path.
