I'm thinking of abandoning F-Droid as a source of apps and using Obtainium to install FOSS apps/updates.
Lately, something terrible has been happening with the speed.
Here are two videos showing attempts to update via 5G and WiFi.

What a wonderful free (as in freedom) market!
I really like xmrbazaar.com and when I see ads like this. 🥹
It's just one of the best ways to earn/spend XMR, and the state will never know about this transaction.
This is a notification from Kucoin (web version).
I wonder how true this is, or is it just an attempt to influence people by saying "FOMO is here, go!"
I hope that @GrapheneOS will manage to release a good, high-quality device that will be pleasant to use, and that it won't be a "typical FOSS" with poor build quality.

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year
Google says it's no different than checking IDs at the airport.
As soon as the Monero community started talking about PoW + PoS, the price went up.
Too many vultures started circling Monero at the exact moment Pubic launched his attack, and began offering their "help".
We (Monero community) need to be very careful.

I spent all day yesterday playing around with Bitchat.
Yes, it's a cool FOSS tool with a slightly different use case than SimpleX.
The downside of Nostr is that you are locked in the Bitcoin information bubble.
[ i get it, for some people this is a benefit ]
Don't foget.
I waited 8 days for the latest version of @unstoppablebyhs to appear on F-Droid...
The basic functionality works, meaning that for now, you can only receive at 1 address.
The rest of the functionality is planned to be completed in the next +- 1 month.
One more update.
At least they're keep trying! 🫡

By the way, after the Qubic incident, I noticed a large number of "well-wishers" who can't sleep at night because they really want to help Monero and want XMR to abandon RandomX in favor of an ASIC friendly algorithm, or full PoS...

Monero was successfully attacked; XMR is now insecure & centralized
Qubic can rewrite XMR history, censor & double-spend!
Turns out a $30...
huh...

It must suck to be a normie.
This applies to every aspect of everyday human activity, from believing in your government, participating in the "elections" of parasites, to using proprietary software and buying any crypto with KYC/AML.
Ok, so, I have some Bitcoin in form of ecash. Where can I spend them?
Many different free (as in freedom and as in beer) projects need your financial support.
I have never had and will never have a subscription for: Netflix, YouTube, or Amazon, but I've donated more money to FOSS projects.
And I encourage you to do the same. 🙂
Look what scammers have come up with.
