Is it not possible to set Alby Go as the default Lightning wallet if it came from Zapstore instead of the Play store? One thing I read said to tap 'Always' instead of 'Just Once' then select the desired app, but tapping 'Always' just sets the recommended app as default and stops offering you the option to choose an alternative.

Remember when all you had to worry about was strangers offering free trials of their expensive narcotics and finding a lump on your testicle? 🤣

Turned off the enhanced privacy toggle in Primal and the connection error went away. See if she'll let me post two notes in a row...

This node IBD is like me riding a bicycle up a steep hill: pedaling my ass off and barely going fast enough to stay upright 🤣

The only way Florida follows through with abolishing vax mandates and property taxes is if sea levels really are rising. No US state can be allowed that much personal freedom 🤣 Ep 137 Weekly Roundup: Florida could Abolish Property Tax #peterStOngePodcast

Either my relays are seriously misconfigured or Primal has a hype machine that rivals Taylor Swift's. I don't want to trash one of the few companies that has stepped up and tried to reverse the damage done by the great custodial wallet rugpull of 23/24 but it's like a burr under the saddle that my consistently least reliable nostr client is the one for which I have a paid subscription. 😮‍💨 View quoted note →

Crazy that Strategy managed to source $47B to buy Bitcoin but most of my friends and family won't even set aside the < $300 bargain price of an equal distribution share of the total supply. View quoted note →

I can't imagine being a married man in a Celsius-dominant country. "OMG it's freezing! What's the thermostat set on?" "21. Want me to raise it to 22?" "Oh God no, 22 is too warm! Make it 21.5" 🤣 View quoted note →

Due to bandwidth issues and a gracious friend with much faster internet, it looks like most interactions with my StartOS server will be remote going forward. Is it advisable (or even possible) to permanently dismiss that warning in Tor browser about StartOS's self-signed certificate, or should I go back to using http instead of https?

There's a weird comfort in having to switch to my wallet app to zap instead of it being handled automatically by the client. Feels more real.

What ever happened to the FairUse4WM guy who made the tool that allowed you to play DRMd WMA tracks on your iPod? 🫡

You ever start to suspect that for every minute of time the internet saves you in efficiency gains, it turns around and steals two minutes from you in the form of updates and troubleshooting? 🧐

Trying to make a personal archive of all 365 episodes (a full year) of the Lifespring! One Year Bible podcast. The problem is Podcast Index only links to the 50 newest episodes and Steve's website seems to be broken. Now I have to download missing episodes in Podcast Addict, drill into its mysteriously-named downloads folder [Android/data/com.bambuna.podcastaddict/files/podcast] (thanks for the help, Brave AI), share the mp3 into Telegram's 'Saved Messages' chat, save from there to my laptop's downloads folder, then fix the filename after Telegram modified it. The worst part is I already downloaded all of these episodes once before when I listened to them as new uploads. It's like the entire internet and every modern device that interacts with it has been redesigned to keep us dependent on somebody else's stupid cloud.

Why do these podcast apps (or Android OS - unsure who to blame) hide the actual mp3 downloads folder like it's the dirty movie section of the video rental store? If I wanted to be treated like a baby I would have bought an iPhone. Does Graphene fix this?
