Memories... 12 years ago—at a time when smartphones were still innovative and exciting: My Jolla Phone / December 2013—The First One. Help bring back that feeling! Protect your privacy and order a new Jolla: https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder

After more than a year of regular posts and replies, likes, and even “#Reads” posts, I'm afraid I have to say that Nostr is still not taking off in German-speaking countries! The fact remains that a good dozen #Nostr and #Bitcoin “top dogs” (mostly developers) and their followers have a platform here. General life is not happening. Perhaps the era of social networks is simply over? Anyway, I'm taking a break for now!

Step 5 of my mission "becoming a real Bitcoiner": Mining on my desk with Bitaxe 601 Gamma (beside my "Blocktrainer-Terminal") - With all the technical excitement, it's easy to forget about the prices a little... #bb #becomingbitcoiner #bitaxe #solomining #miningbitcoin

I watched the first two episodes of "Pluribus" and even subscribed to #AppleTV for the first time to do so! I'm a fan of Vince Gilligan and consider the series “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” to be by far the best of my lifetime! I'm still a little torn about “Pluribus,” despite an outstanding performance by Rhea Seehorn! But I'll watch the season 1 to the end before I cancel AppleTV again, because I generally don't like the bitten apple at all! ;-) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22202452/ #breakingbad #bettercallsaul #pluribus #vincegilligan

Wow, this is new—I haven't seen this here before: a #Bitcoin ATM in #Oberhausen at #CentrO! #Ruhrpott I need to familiarize myself with how this works... https://de.kurant.net/de/

What a shame! #Nostr is dying! I've noticed that “business as usual” is now spreading on Nostr: there are more and more fake accounts copying entities, following you, and trying to make contact. Nostr seems to have become so interesting that scamming and faking are starting to pay off there. The only problem with Nostr's freedom and resistance to censorship is that there is no place to report this and no way to delete these jerks. It will be up to each individual to check out every new follower. In extreme cases, if Nostr really does develop into a major alternative, it is likely to become unbearable there due to scum and scammers. This makes me despair a little more: humans are apparently not made for freedom, and the removal of oppression, censorship, and regulation immediately unleashes evil.

"Unsere #Demokratie" = "Bei der Oberbürgermeisterwahl in Ludwigshafen, wo der AfD-Kandidat ausgeschlossen wurde, lag die Wahlbeteiligung bei nur 29,3 Prozent. Die Zahl der ungültigen Stimmen lag bei 9,2 Prozent. In der Stichwahl treffen die Kandidaten von CDU und SPD aufeinander." ...wenn maximal (!) ein Fünftel links-woker Sozialisten das politische Geschehen diktieren. DDR 2.0 ist Realität.

A portrait of me! Who can tell which car my hoodie is dedicated to?

In Germany, digital vehicle registration documents and digital driving licenses are currently being tested on smartphones. Together with the health insurance ID card and the ePA, a passport on a cell phone and even payment cards, this is a further step - towards a smartphone as the obligatory key to a civic identity! Which can then be restricted, stolen or switched off completely at any time. This is a dystopia of total control and power over people that will very soon become reality - at least in Europe. People will only realize it when it is too late. It's so convenient and practical!

What good is secure, privacy-friendly technology like #Nostr if there's nothing in terms of content except the technology itself? It's like Netflix, where there are only documentaries and songs of praise about Netflix.
