I'm having a "we made you peach cobbler to celebrate the last day of summer, but since you refuse to clean your room, I'm not going to wait any longer to eat mine" sort of day #parenting

What is the preferred way to on-board someone to self-custodial lightning these days? @ZEUS is epic, but my mom is going to have a stroke if I ask her to set it up.

I love this space, but damn a few of the devs are clueless. Here's another comically bad take from @jb55. This is right up there with that time he said he preferred centralized storage because censorship was a good thing (followed by a rant about how "decentralization enables pedophiles") @jb55 what are you even doing here, man?

Let's not normalize use of the term 'sideloading' to refer to the simple act of installing whatever software you want from wherever you want on a device that you own. Instead, I propose the term 'soyloading' to refer to the practice of only installing google/apple approved software, only from their untrustworthy stores, on a device you choose not to own.

The thing about cypherpunk is, you have to be active. If you sit back on your heels and say "yeah we already built the best thing, I'm not paying attention to you", then you're effectively stepping off the battlefield and letting others fight on without you. Bitcoiner attitude tends this way, and caused us to lose our punk. Bitcoiners don't let ourselves be sideliners. Speak truth to evil. Vote with your wallet. Build shit that maximizes freedom and boycott things that dont. Stop tolerating KYC, CEXs, etc just because it helps NGU. Be opinionated and act with conviction. View quoted note →

Love the #nostromo client. Only downside is I find it harder to explore other people's interactions, which is crucial on Nostr since there isn't an "algorithm" for discovery.

A trans woman shoots up a school (truly tragic), and all of a sudden the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge his gender and insist he is a man. Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔

CNN says we should be worried that Trump is threatening the independence of the Federal Reserve.... What?! What kind of statist cope is that?! We are supposed to like that an unelected body of central bankers controls the monetary policy of the USA?!? Literally nobody should like the Fed, regardless what color you vote for.

I can't zap much (21 sats usually) but I zap often. Likes/reactions feel like a an obsolete relic of the old social media engagement model, and I'm done with that. My attention is worth something and my zaps establish that worth.
