 I think its hilarious that there is no good answer for public school funding changes. If the government increases the funding, one half says "of coure they do that, they want yoi to become a good little zombie to be able to control you", but if they decrease it, thw otherhalf says " of course they do that. They wat you to be stupid so they can control you" 
 HAHAHAHA nostr:npub1q6ps7m94jfdastx2tx76sj8sq4nxdhlsgmzns2tr4xt6ydx6grzspm0kxr how does you Momma...

 Im on fdroid version. Does that change anything? 
 Added them to security filters hidden words. Both nostr and #nostr 
 Here you can see i added them, then searched the tag #gnostr. The gray part are hidden posts, which each add a 1 px wide line. Tvose are hidden because i also blocked the words 1995/, 1996/, 1997/

I also wanted to open some feature reqiests. I assume i do that on GH issues?

 Wait. Why did it work when you tried it? 
 #Microsoft should stop shipping 32-bit Office. There's no reason for it to exist

 #M365  
 Maybe, but you are not forced to use it.  
 Then you should complian to your company. I know they wont listen, but i've got bad news for you: if MS stops building 32 bit office, yout company will just keep using an older version. You gain nothig 
 Its the same its always been, pump and dump / scam. Not saying tht crypto is bad. Just that the more public the crypto bro, the bigger the scam 
 First of all taxation is theft 

2nd - I don’t want to elect people to spend what they stole 

... 
 Its been so long since the last time i saw someone say that taxes are theft. 

People that say that, argue that government funding should be voluntary and they shouldnt take your hard earned money. 

Reality is that you would never give any money of anything because whatever you pay for (a road for example) will be used by other people so you would want them to pay too, and at the same time you would demand public infrastructure like jails 
 Why are people so scared of homosexuals that they wont stop talking about them? If your way of saying that something is bad is saying "its gay" then you like thinking aout men having sex more than you let out. 
 The history of Turi$mo and its hater is a fucking mystery 
 RIGHT? at leas id like a explanation. I dont remember how i stopped seing those posts. I think i left a relay 
 He has bragged about making new account to keep harasing him.   
 There is someone at work that whenever i knock on the bathroom door, instead of yelling "occupied" they yell "what?", "what is it?", "who is it", or " yeah?" and i find it really wierd.

Im not about to tell you who i am, why im going to the bathroom or having a conversation. 

I cant imagine someone honestly answering it 
 Is there a way to tell Methyst to block a hastag? Im tired of #gnostr but it seems that is not seen as part of the body of the post. I had to block "1997/" 
 Does anyoe use amber on android? 

I wanted to use it for something like coracle and it needed permanent access to my clipboard to work.

Why? Im not doing that. I copy a lot of sensitive info 
 Does anyone know any good creators to follow that dont talk about bitcoin? 
 I think peope whos personality is defined by a single thing (weed, bitcoin ,guns, religion, etc) are shallow and sad.  
 Wierd concept. I would've called this being a decent person. I recognize and respect(*) all religins but im just an atheist / sceptic


* i respect religions / people that respect others. If they push their religion on others, then they dont deserve respect

Also, in a debate ill be as respectful as possible but wont pretend some of the nonsense ( nonsense to me) makes sense. 
 so what are people thinking, politically here? centre-left allowed? 😅

I’ve seen some pretty... 
 I love privacy apps but they tend to brin two kinds if people. People who live in opressed countries and can speak freely, and peopke who live. In free countries but are always banned for being rasist or calling for violence. In nostr, opressed people tall their native language and the angry racists speak enlish 
 I dont have audio lo listen to this right now, but holly fuck. People who think they are more important / better than the rest make my blod boil

I heard you peoject was basically abandoed and some xmr dev told me to switch to cake (they said you use old libs) 
 Has anyone used windows filesystem level folder encryption? Is it any good? Im usong assh ley to sign commits at work. Id like to make it so that none can acces it but i dont habe to type the password every time. This would be a great solution. If anyone changes my password they can read the key, but its transparent for me.

Its not that i dont trust my work place. But id like to be able to guarantee my boss that if the commt is signed, it came from me 
 Id say they saw satoshis post. Might even personally know satoshi. I imagine 5 days is not enough for it to get enough time fpr people eto check bitcoin was not a scam and share with others.  
 I love how on nostr you can just follow any por account you want and since (in my case)  no one(*) can link me to my real id, no one can tell me shit. Everyone can follow whatever they want and we dont get to judge. Also i think its fun to be deep in an argument andwjen you check their profile theybfolow like 50 porn accounts 
 Bitcoin sucks, and bitcoiners are worse. There is no need to have it in this conversation. Yet here you are, trying to pull me into this global ponzi scheme 
 Ill now block all content containing "btc" or "bitcoin". I know you probably dont care enough about this conversation, but in case you want us to keep talking avoid using them. Nothing personal, it just feels like watching a constant stream of ads 
 Its the other way round. I like monero because its anonymous, so im on nostr because its anonymous. You lie atraceable coin, you should be on bluesky 
 I removed the filter to be able to have this conversation (amethyst even hides my own comments if i leave it on and mention btc) 
 Come on. Whats good about bitcoin? Its extremely expensive, slow and non private. Sure monero has a core developmebt team, but lets not pretebd that bitcoin doesnt. It might not be maintained by the original developers anymore, but you can see the decetraliation aspect on every BIP. All BIPs are assigned a number by a group of developers. If they dont like a proposal, they reject it. And since BIPs are activated by signaling, if you start publishing your own bips, there is no way to know if a signal is for your BIP, or the mainstream one. This means that bitcoin has leadership 
 No. Im upset becuase bitcoiners dont know what else to talk about  so they spam nostr. Id be just as upset if it was monero

 Yeah .. But its better than saying "thank god there is slavery or i would have an iphone". If the iphone disapeared, these people would say " well, it had to happen"

 Whats this? 
 Wat up with this? Why are there so many random accounts posting a few random words?

https://image.nostr.build/ddc649865ce53923d0a69e1dc73fd1c4626cb00aa6869c689d1ae09bb2f036fa.jpg 
 I know. But why? Is all of this a single person? If you want to spam just spam random letters. No need to get a dictionary for this 
 I'm going to start my own theory. It's the "thousand monkeys" thing. They are hoping to write something smart by chance and get zaps.

What I mean by dictionary is that generating random letters on any programming language is free cheap on resources and fast. But programming languages don't know words, so this person had to download a dictionary (whichdoesn't take up mch space but it takes a lot more space than not having it) and selecting 4 or 5 random words (which again is more resources than picking random letters). 


Another possible option s that this person is trying to spam or DOS a relay. A relay could block an IP that only sends Radom letters, but words are harder to analyze 
 Every company says this. If the new guy on the most remote branch of a company uses it, they count themselves. If you pay enough attention you will realize that a lot of these claims are for products that do the same thing.

 I always wanted to use PKI. Sounds like fun and cool. Is it? 
 Never apologize for being who you are. It’s a waste of your energy. Truth.  
 I have a friend who always cheats on his girlfriends. That's how he is. Doesn't mean it's right. If he is ever caught he should apologize not be like "this is who I am. Deal with it" 
 You think that violating someone else's properties is part of someone's personality. I believe OP referred to personality traits, like for example, my girlfriend does everything in extremes. She either doesn't do it, or gives it her 100%. It's annoying but she shouldn't apologize 
 He is a bad person. He acknowledges it. He doesn't want to change 
 It wouldn't help much. She'd forgive him, and he andl my friends would stop talking to me.  Too much to lose for not actually helping 
 But what I'm asked how the move it...

 Says the guy whose entire post history is about infidelity 
  I'm not focused on you I'm just browsing nostr global and I keep seeing your posts all of the same topic 
 Which is it? Do I cheat? Or did they? You don't seem to make up your mind. you don't even know my gender

By that logic I can say that you post so much about cheating either because you got cheated or because you cheat. 

Also talk about focusing on someone. You focused so much on what I said that you had to come back for a second comment.


On top of all that. I don't care if you cheated, got cheated, or whatever. I'm just pointing out the irony of tour post 
 Dude. I was pointing out irony. YOU went all out and made it personal. You are the saddest person I've takes to Ina long while. You brag about having a posthistoryy against a NEW account, but your post history is so monothematic might as well have one post yet SOMEHOW you still think anyone wants to read this? 
 You definitely got cheated on. Because people who chats and regret it, get over it and don't do it again. But the people that get cheated on are the ones left with the scar and have trust issues
