What hardware wallets are people using these days that haven't had catastrophic security vulnerabilities? #grownostr

A positive aspect of AI, is that it could eventually open up the production of traditionally big budget films to independent film makers to tell their story. I wouldn't miss Hollywood at all. Remember when these smug assholes were telling laid off pipeline welders to "learn to code"?

Lol! I remember I bought 0.5 BTC back around 2013 when it was worth about $1k.. A few years later (2017) it started taking off again and I got so excited I made this display to hang in my cube so I could look at the price in real time. This little display actually ended up getting a lot of other people in the office interested in BTC who were wondering what the weird glowing thing was on my wall. Some of them actually made a bot to scalp the spread on low volume exchanges and made a ton of money. I have no idea if they cashed out though or if they are still hodling.

Throwback to the good ole days. I was high on LSD when I took this lol

This is what happens when you leave the doors off your jeep all summer 😂

Will zap for doggos! #dogstr

I've been seeing this pop up occasionally the last few days while just scrolling my feed... Only happens on Coracle. Anyone know what's up?

I finally decided to get off my butt and started learning ML :) If anyone else out there is familiar w Python and is curious but intimidated by the idea, I've found this "course" to be insanely helpful: Basically every night I pour a drink and work through an hour or two. Side note, how cool would it be for nostr to have its own video platform one day?

Goddamn is there any way to "un retweet" or whatever it's called on iris? I keep accidentally clicking on it.

E-thots be putting some serious mileage on my block button

Short story time. Back when I was in university (circa 2010), I was sitting near the back of the auditorium, and one of the international Chinese students took a seat in front of me. I watched her boot up her laptop, and log onto Baidu. For those unfamiliar, Baidu was/is the Chinese equivalent of Google (it still might be, I'm not sure), with the one caveat it was heavily censored in accordance with the Chinese government to remove "disinformation", the most famous example being the purging of any results about Tiananmen Square. I remember being bit taken aback. I could not understand why this student, who was living in the "free world" outside of the Great Firewall, would willingly use a censored search engine when she had access to free and unfettered information by literally using any other search engine. She spoke perfect English, so it wasn't a language barrier. Being a Chinese national, she also *had* to be aware of the censorship. Maybe she was just searching for something mundane and unpolitical, or just didn't care about censoring, but either way I didn't get it. At the time it was just a weird curiosity to me, and I quickly moved on with my day. I didn't know that as the years went by I'd find myself thinking about it more and more as a psychological case study. 2016 hit, and I watched as nearly every news outlet simultaneously dropped any and all pretense of objectivity, ethics, and journalistic integrity. To my surprise (and shock) nobody around me seemed to notice or care. 2020 hit, and again, I watched in mild shock as mass censorship was deployed across the net. Doctors and other experts in their field were muzzled. Apple (once famous for denying the government access to a terrorist's iPhone), jumped at the chance to remove and ban apps on political grounds. FB/Twitter1.0 *blatantly* suppressed information and users along political lines. Google results are now filtered, and only promotes activist sources. Let's not even talk about its laughable "Results are changing fast" blocker for current events. It's gotten exponentially worse since then. To the point of absurdity, where we now have the Biden admin *openly* suing so they can continue censoring their citizens, and the Canadian gov't under Trudeau forcing through a law which effectively puts the viewability of *all internet content* within Canada at the discretion of 11 or 12 party members at the CRTC. Yet without protest or much ado about anything, people still use Google. They still consume state-funded media (NPR, CBC, etc..). They still use Facebook. They still parrot lines about "conspiracy theories" and "dis/mis/malinformation" despite a large amount of it coming from their primary sources of news. Worst of all, it seems like they are tripping over themselves to give up their rights to privacy, speech, and more. This has completely shattered my perception and understanding of people. Maybe I'm being a bit sanctimonious and self-righteous, but I really, truly believed more people were smarter than this. And so I often find myself thinking about that student in my uni class. I couldn't understand it at the time, but I understand now. I just never thought I would see it happen in my own country, on such a large scale, and at such a rapid pace.
