Australia's response to the Bondi attack is not surprising but it is truly terrifying. The governments response has been: - Ban Protests - Restrict speech all the way "to the constitutional limit" - New hate speech laws - Increase powers of a newly created taskforce to monitor and crack down on speech All of this comes one week after nation wide teenage social media ban and the slow roll out of a KYC internet.

#asknostr Can someone please help me work out how I verify my identity with nostr? Australia’s social media identification laws come into effect in less than one hour and I am worried about getting locked out of my nostr account if I don’t verify my age in time.

Tether's "vision for a stable future" looks quite similar to my "vision of hell".

I want to say a huge thank you to @Roland for helping me avoid disaster and recover my lightning nodes backup file and save my sats. After being told multiple times it was impossible to do anything or recover any of the coin I was unwilling to give up and it was amazing to be able to find a solution. Thank you so much for your help. 💛 Never give up! …and also don’t be like me and keep your nodes updated 😬
