It's wild how we went from needing to buy the same music every few years on a different playback format, to being liberated from that BS by the lack of copy protection on CDs, to now most people either rent their music or endure ads to listen to it for free. Even though I'm not a fan of the format, I respect the hell out of younger vinyl collectors who believe you should own your music library. View quoted note →

Think I finally found my favorite desktop nostr client. Cons: requires a USB cable and command line Pros: charges my phone while I use it (Amethyst via scrcpy) 🤣

They allow the drugs to come in. They catch and release the criminals. Then they kick back and let us build the surveillance state, one doorbell camera at a time. You could almost admire the genius of it all of it weren't so evil.

Flip the script on these mofos. We're not the weirdos for wanting to be able to store a local copy of the mp3 in a folder of our own choosing. You're the weirdos for wanting to prevent us from doing it. image

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 🤣

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 →

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 →
