I have no idea what's going with Nostr, but I rarely run into ANY of your notes in "the feed".
I'll just make a point to chase your profile page down for info.
Just letting you know.

Your daily reminder: A #Bitcoin protected by #NodeRunningVigilantes who will not allow it be co-opted by the same warmongering bankers pure monetary BTC destroys, is the hammer against the demon possessed genocidal PDFfiles of the world. #RunKnots #BIP110

#Mockery of decency, ethics, & principled values of OBJECTIVITY is used as part of the #condescending #arrogance the insecure, who only feel power when punching down the underdogs, especially in the #MobMentality of those aggrandizing themselves thinking their "sophistication" is a form of an elite club, when all they're doing is proving their lack of divinity, nobility, & class while swirling their way down the drain of their parasitic tapeworm lives.
Cast your seeds #BIP110 #NodeRunningVigilantes, don't distract from the mission to save #Bitcoin, charge, and move past the wall of clowns.

You don't have to believe whether you follow that logic or not to use it, since that is the logic employed in "...when natural incentives will eliminate it eventually?"

Thank you for your reply!!!
I have very small windows of clarity, and I'm trying to assemble my website the simplest possible way.
I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep me from applying for disability. It's not even a matter of principle anymore, it is the difficulty of the bureaucratic process. My reading comprehension & retention are dwindling, so I end up literally just staring at forms all glassy eyed.
Rizful seems to produce both kinds of QR codes, one that looks like a static QR code cause it just shows up when you click on the "receive payment" tab without entering a specific amount at all, and it looks like it allows you to create invoices if I click on "set amount." I remember playing a little bit with invoices when @nprofile…x6g9 used to be custodial, between my husband's Muun & my alby wallet at the time & I did notice that they became invalid after a period of time (I didn't pay attention to how long).
I was trying to figure out of the @nprofile…mlfj static QR code would be the equivalent to the username@rizful.com address.
I will try to see if maybe Alby has something similar since my rizful is connected to it.
I'm getting glassy-eyed already....

Let's hope it doesn't go downhill from there. It felt like folks took more time checking your nostr profile page back then, getting to know one another a bit, whereas now I feel like I'm getting lost in a sea of unknowns.
I hope some of us try to engage more with each other, otherwise it's just gonna be another doom scroll repository.

I find myself aggreeing and disagreeing with folks. I have seen a few with opposite mindsets as mine on some topics, but I certainly concur with your assessment regarding how we're more about nurturing each other here, as opposed to being participants in the race to the bottom of the scroll of doom.
In #nostr, i find myself stopping a lot more often to truly engage attempting to contribute. Like driving by different neighborhoods, where Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc... are as appealing to me as Skid Row or the Mission district. Nostr can be the Virginia City, the Tubac, the Sedona, and at times, even the Real de Catorce where your body, mind, and souls can recharge, and both nostr and #nostriches are better for it.

I had an "awesome to me" reply to this and I lost it. It happens!
Please take this note into good consideration.
The feed is a characteristic of every social media. However it is designed or with which intention, the result of its use has resulted in a very atrophied communicating skill. It has dumbed down our language. It has devalued real engagement. It has turned many of us into zombies who are desperate for their extremely short- lived dopamine hits.
Engage in conversation.
Interact with one another investing effort.
Challenge yourself to visit individual #nostriches pages to see content your feed's algorithm decided NOT to show you.
If a feed's note introduced you to a new #nostrich (or one you'd forgotten about), remind yourself to follow them. Remind them to follow you if you had an exchange you'd like to explore again.
I just saw a note that said #nostr is a new internet. It is in a lot of ways.
Try your best to think of what YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT NORMIE SOCIAL MEDIA, then imagine: what could I do differently to how I and others use Cuckbook, Idiotgram, Dick-tock, Twatter and the like???
Because #Nostr is not only a new protocol or platform. Nostr is A REBIRTH, a complete do-over of how we can "internet orselves" better. Not only better, but in a way that doesn't only allow us to re-invent ourselves, but to re-invent the almost impossible concept of what SOCIETY AND HUMAN INTERACTION could be!
This is not dreams of grandeur.
I've survived hell and back multitude of times. If this tired, sometimes utterly depleted middle-aged grandmother who still lives paycheck to paycheck can afford the time and energy to try her best to CONTRIBUTE to this new and BETTER INTERNET, anyone else has no excuse.
Now, GFY cuz I feel the need to remain on my high horse for a little while....
I've been hit quite hard recently and I need the boost that comes from pretending I can still teach something to someone.

#asknostr
I'm only able to post text and only able to use iris on both tablet and phone.
When I'm lucky and have a chance to use the desktop, any desktop compatible client works great.
Why I can only use iris: because I'm using my phone BROWSER and was able to sign in before Alby extension stopped being usable in phone browsers, as (at least Google) stopped extensions from being used on mobile devices.
Ever since the extension wasn't allowed to work within the mobile's browser, I can't upload anything nor zap, and my profile picture was replaced by ... idk what that is.
So.
QUESTION:
1) does everyone see that weird graphic as my profile pic? And
2) is there a nostr client app that... uh... like how do I log in to a nostr client app... if I can't login with my alby?
Thank you.

2024-07-31 23:32:46 UTC

I want to learn to live a #primitive #pioneer lifestyle.
I grew up in abject poverty. We had no #electricity nor running water during my #childhood.
We had major #foodInsecurity. Yet, there were a few glimpses of happiness, amid the #violence and the #poverty.
I hustled and was quite #entrepreneurial throughout.
Today, my "convenient" #American life is being disturbed.
Not only by the fact that our family neighborhood has been turned into a state-enabled hub for #WelfareQueens harboring criminals, dealers, thugs that the state protects. (How could they not?); but also by the fact that, as the only homeowners, any property maintenance on the roof over our head falls on us. Today, well, the husband has been needing to play electrician.
As an ex-government agent, I can remind you all that the #state is not here to resolve any problems.
It's here to pretend to resolve problems, but they really need those problems to continue.
They, in fact, need those problems to proliferate.
You have to think of how a #corporation runs.
In order to continue getting the continued capital they need, they must show #profits to bolster the confidence of #investors.
Corporations (depending on their line of business) are charged with the obligation of growth. (I too worked in the corporate world, I too partnered in a corporation).
As tired as I am at the moment, I can't rack my brain to find examples of successful no-growth corporations.
I'm not trying to shit on businesses, I'm all for entrepreneurship. However, this characteristic of the current socioeconomic system we live in continues to prove time and time again the failures of its own sustainability. We're not talking about "green" measures here, just plain survivability.
#Entropy moves into just about anything, but can we agree that it moves into some systems faster and with more impact than in others?
Just like in corporatism, government needs to be the cancer, the parasite that must grow and grow eating of its host.
So, why resolve problems, when such problems are the ones that keep you funded?
Why fix anything for anyone when the #FED can simply fund you and enrich you for your continuously "REQUIRED SERVICES"?
Same as with a corporation which looks to solve a need or it identifies a gap to try and supply that need or cover that gap; the need and the gap themselves become the reason of such corporations/government agencies to EXIST.
No need, no demand. No need, no supply.
Where does the desire to learn a pioneer/primitive lifestyle fit into this?
#Sovereignty.
#Statism and #Corporatism have #Dependence in common. Hence the reason why #Totalitarianism & #Monopolism seem to always be their "most successful" stages, their ultimate ways to have reached the so sought-after "cornering of the market".
I am naive, I'm sure, even at my old age.
But isn't due to the failures of #statism and #corporatism that #Bitcoin had to be given birth to?
Dependence.
Good grief.
You have no clue how long it's taken me to text this from my phone with half a bar...
That and my arthritis doesn't help!
I honestly believe that #btc and #nostr rekindled a fire in me. One to try to be as self-reliant as possible.
A corporation and a government may not like that in us. They need us to be dependent and reliant on their product / service, hence the large number ways they impose on all of us to control us.
Am I all for #FreeMarkets? I am. The question is, who is defining #FreeMarket for who.
I am naive because I sometimes forget how sick I am and how poorly I can get.
But in my moments of my perceived #lucidity I DO see myself thriving in my #imagination. I have to think it to be it.
I see myself conserving as much energy, being frugal about my resources, my utilization of goods, services; and wasting as little as possible.
Directing my energy where it matters: run my node, produce power to mine? Who knows.
Trying to get healthier so I can learn more, share what I learn, grow real relationships/circular economies... Frugally giving my hard made/hard earned sats in a voluntary and wilful exchange for as hardly made/produce goods/services.
BTC makes the peer to peer transaction that much more FAIR. It reduces friction and minimizes the animosity in negotiation.
#Bitcoin is #Decentralized, #OpenSource and #Verifiable.
Have you known of any billion+ valued corporation and government that is as decentralized, open-source and transparent as #Bitcoin?
(What do I know, may you have? #askNostr)
I pose a couple of questions:
How will Bitcoin #Plebs & #nostriches #thrive if the system followed & very deeply programmed into us is one that completely enables & supports a #FIAT mindset and behaviors??
How do you see a return to some primitive/pioneer lifestyles, in as many aspects of your routine as possible, enabling the bringing forth of the replacement of the FIAT system by a supercharged #BitcoinStandard?
The hubs fixed both the internet and the electrical panel safely.
Praise God!!!!
