Evil is real.

"The happy truth is that those who dispute the absolute lordship of God check their arguments at the door when they enter their closets to pray. The sad truth is that those who defend a doctrine of divine sovereignty often complain when things do not go their own way, forgetting that their grumbling is against God." - Chad Van Dixhoorn in 'Confessing the Faith' #Reformed #catholic #Christian #theology

A selectiin from my adventures with my family the last couple weeks: This is why I haven't been very active on Nostr lately. Who can blame me, right? Getting in as much time out in God's creation as we can before the weather turns on us.

All value operates on the "prove me wrong" principle. When someone overvalues any good they are trying to sell, they can easily be proven wrong by competitors in the same market. However, when that good is scarce, it is much more difficult to prove a seller's valuation wrong by finding the same good for a lower cost. If a good is scarce but is not desirable, resulting in a lack of demand, the seller's valuation will be proven wrong simply from no one wanting to buy what they are selling, regardless of its scarcity. I hodl #Bitcoin because I believe it is worth much more than what people are currently willing to part with it for, and I am challenging everyone to prove me wrong over a period of decades, rather than days, weeks, months, or years.

A nice summary of the new relay settings in #Amethyst, and how to make the most out of them. View quoted note →

@utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 has been quiet for a while... Wonder what he's been building that will blow our minds when he drops it on us...

How does one create a voice note (YakBak) on #Amethyst? #asknostr I also noticed that you respond to voice notes by tapping and holding on the mic icon, but it seems to randomly stop recording. @Vitor Pamplona, I would like to see this changed to tapping the icon to start recording and tapping again to stop, and preferably with a way to preview your recording before sending.

Wouldn't mind seeing this become the leading client for long form notes. Habla is feeling long in the tooth. View quoted note →
