 Gluten allergies are scary 
 Biden really sucks 😒 
 Brussels sprouts 
 Nostr custom emotes are underrated 
 Interested in different kinds of relays, mainly to reduce the number of Websocket connections I h... 
 Yeah this and file storage seems to be the current focus. Pulling the same data from 20 nodes is a waste. 
 They are actually lost right now 
 Nah start a farm in Nebraska

You can update ... 
 Omg that is insane 
 True, although he got convicted for raping women in civil court (which is different, and not related to if he is a good leader or not)
I'm more on the left, but I'm open minded, so what happens if he gets convicted of some of these crimes?

Have a nice day 
 Well if you care about the truth you can look in to these claims. Writing off an article chronicleizing accusations as "91" lies is a lazy way to not do any analysis. What is your process for discerning the truth? 
 Anyone can look at the evidence and make their own conclusion. I'm not taking headlines and running withem them, its merely a starting point. Trump did almost nothing during his presidency, spend double what Biden has, cut taxes, legitimized dictators, and when he lost, incited an insurrection. 
 Wonder why he's been like the only one to "interview" him in years...... 
 My fedi instance is basically on fire.

Seriously. 
 Wha happen 
 Think of #Monero in terms of means of payment.

Gradually traders will accept more and more Moner... 
 Exactly, a lot of Bitcoiners don't understand this. But a lot of Monero people don't understand store of value vs use case. Not saying Monero is a bad store of value, but it seems Bitcoin is winning the "digital gold" race. Then again, Monero could shoot up in a few years, who knows. 
 Why are you so happy to monthly subscribe to a service that is selling you out to the highest bid... 
 What services do you mean? 
 Well I pay for music streaming because the recomndations are very good. I rip it all for offline listening. But I agree, I can't think of anything else worth paying for other than a VPN. 
 Zaps are on the slow side again 🤔 
 Send me 10k, let's test the speed 
 @dan 🍞 thanks for the follow! 
 I fucking love Conan O'Brien 
 Is there a way to buy concert tickets on Nostr? 
 Louis Rossman is going to war with Google 😆 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ42f-tV_3w 
 Nice mega.nz no longer allows monthly subs via bitcoin. 

You have to pay yearly or cough up a card. 
 Downloading from them is always annoying 
 Oh, didn't know! 
 Are there image focused (Instagram like) Nostr clients? 
 When will we get FOSS RPIs alternatives based on RISC-V? 😩 
 The Finnish guy who got caught uploaded his entire home folder. 
 Why does any secure platform use email still? The protocol literally cannot be encrypted...... 
 Oh that’s right, without farmers we have no food. Probably nothing. nostr:note1aggav3uv2lm3qzwk... 
 Start eating bugs and rice or do what's right.

 Someone tell Hasanabi this please 
 so happy to see this

yeah, monero got delisted from binance

turns out that it's also useless as... 
 Why are we happy about this? 
 Why are we happy about this? 
 Can we talk about something other than Bitcoin or debt? 
 Does anyone know of an integration for Nostr as a homescreen Google News replacement? 
 Open source is king 
 What should I do with my old phones?
They have SD card slots 🥲 
 Could Nostr do this? We already have a marketplace thats functional and there is a location sharing app that works on Nostr. 
 Thats sort of what I was thinking. I would rather get in a strangers car that is kinda sorta the responsibility of a company. It would be so easy to kidnap people and extort them without a trust system thats reliable. Reliable real time updates are needed too. 
 Nostr question.
Do nodes that run a Nostr server agree to relay as much data as possible, or just user posts/comments along with images? I ask because people are building streaming, encrypted messaging and other stuff on top of Nostr and I wonder how the data requiremenrequirements will be met. 
 Anyone got any ideas for what to do with old smartphones?
They really aren't worth anything to sell. 
 Something like LorWAN? 
 What's the best option for AI programming?
I'm lazy and don't have time to learn a new language....

 Then the left gets stuck on race issues and the right on Trump. 
 Of course. Creating problems and then never solving them gives you a reason to support that candidate. 
 Normalize Palestinian and Israeli humanity ❤️ 
 Hello Nostr.
I'm new, what should I know? 
 I am questioning one thing.

How did Apple's iMessage get so many users? 
 In what way? With existing iPhone users or with people getting their first phones and then becoming an I message user for life? 
 Default messaging app, prompts you to sign up. Also on the iPhone you cannot change your SMS app, so people have to open iMessage. 
 apple is for sure going gimp PWAs even further, it already does in many ways (no plugin support, ... 
 How do you like it? 😁
