(I&#39;ll write this in English even though we&#39;re both Swedish, just in case the same problem affects anyone else who wants to know.) Since a while ago, BIS #177 to be precise, your new episodes doesn&#39;t show up on Podbean. (I still use Podbean since I have to download the podcasts, and that doesn&#39;t seem possible from Fountain. If I didn&#39;t have to, I would&#39;ve tried it a long time ago.) They still exist if I open the feed, and I can download them by marking the MP3 address, right click, click &#39;save link as&#39;, so they obviously exist, but something has broken the Podbean website&#39;s ability to update its page for your podcast. Probably something related to podcasting 2.0.<br/><br/>Just a small annoyance and not a huge problem for me, as mentioned, but it looks as if your podcast was dead for anyone nontechnical, in a hurry, or not thinking that particular problem is likely, i.e. at least 99.9% of people. I don&#39;t know if you or anyone you know and/or work with can do anything about it, or if it&#39;s a problem with Podbean in particular, but I thought you&#39;d want to know.<br/><br/>Love your podcast, especially the BIA episodes! 2025-12-02T22:54:24Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsreqv6nanrd0mkfvjvhyld00s45kxf35unx6dygdelqn9jq009f8czyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j6gwclp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdmm6mc0c53mxrkq6p0tgjsfvgpe5vdwvtg5l9mps3l6hxssn8gwqr3nm8e'>nevent1q…nm8e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Advertisements are probably responsible for 1/10 of the bad stuff in the world that fiat money is.

The reverse is also true, but not to the same extent - they get opposition a bit more often.<br/><br/>It simply seems like people here are afraid to take conflicts head-on, and I have noticed that in myself too, and I think that one of my reasons is that I don&#39;t want to be muted, as many of the people having IMO rotten opinions in some matters, like most of the people here, have good opinions in matters of wanting freedom, and are in one way or another involved with something good with Bitcoin and/or Nostr.<br/><br/>Another reason is that I recognize the style that I associate as common with a specific type of troll, that sometime pops up on Reddit when I was there, and has done here a couple of times, that can provide endless arguments that are very hard to prove wrong even though they are, combined with concealed attacks on not what, but the way, I think (it&#39;s hard to explain), and an incredible ability to turn around and draw attention away from a part of the argument they are about to lose, and twist it into another part, intentionally misunderstanding my point of view, etc. It&#39;s just exhausting to try to debate them.<br/><br/>It&#39;s weird, and sometimes feels very wrong, but good in some ways. And it probably helps Bitcoin and Nostr which is of course good. 2025-11-09T22:56:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszh8qla90qe8zawuuwva5lksq3l0ptmxsmgxklj9tsckz62n9ufygzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jpz64h2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz3u5yr0vhn8ur9g5yca4vyg3k8hy0g04y5vdml5ptf6w5qlak30svrm54s'>nevent1q…m54s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Privacy tech is good and completely necessary, but this shit that is spreading around the world needs pressure against it from more angles. How do we get the obvious fact into the heads of people that this isn&#39;t about protection, but grabbing more power through controlling narratives, and eventually locking up political opposition? &#34;We can&#39;t&#34; isn&#39;t a good enough answer if we want to even be able to use privacy tech in the future. If left with as little pushback as is currently the case, they will not stop until it&#39;s literally impossible to use private systems, either through being completely blocked or guaranteed to go to prison. 2025-11-09T21:14:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdatj5c25azrf76c905cdafr3fnpqxxdps74qhgfzydmagaydnvjczyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j3fd9gk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0kqvefc80duqu9v9clhwq6qk46jn4reqsd2wk58rmugyfcae90hgz6ty23'>nevent1q…ty23</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They taste pretty strong, but also sweet. And of course, like cinnamon. Where I live, rice porridge, (similar or identical, not sure, to rice pudding) is a traditional Christmas dish, with cinnamon sticks in it. I&#39;ve always liked to chew on those when I&#39;ve eaten the porridge, but they are probably a bit milder since some of the flavor has gone into the porridge while cooking it. 2025-11-05T23:37:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst64q0jdm06hslqvefq85emz2q74fljhqpj0r58kawy3a3mdxr0vszyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j466mnq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0teqv67pdjmlqrt6xa7tngg66ecq4374caq7qzug8yqk5qlqxu0q5kf7pr'>nevent1q…f7pr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s far more sinister than that. If it imploded, there would at least be a possibility to rebuild. If enough of these surveillance and control laws goes through, it will be on an exponential, inevitable path to eternal complete totalitarianism. No hope in decades, our entire lifetimes, or even far beyond them. Not ever. And it&#39;s not just the EU, similar things are rolling out faster or slower in most parts of the world it seems.<br/><br/>I think the event horizon is within 10 years, at the current rate. Maybe much sooner, as it&#39;s accelerating <br/><br/>Freedom technology alone won&#39;t solve this, as many people on Nostr seem to believe. It&#39;s an important part, but pressure on the politics is needed too. And, I think, most needed of all is spreading information - I doubt even 10% of Europeans know that this is going on, at the very least not to what extent, or its consequences. 2025-11-05T23:24:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf0evw50zuep6ljwsq8acjr9n5p224rnf39lt52c0jkkc4wwfklpszyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jt8sm9r I seem to always run in to the strangest problems with YouTube, which few others seem to be having. This time, when I try to search, nothing happens when I press enter or click the magnifying glass icon. If I search the web for a channel and click it, nothing happens when I click &#34;videos&#34;.<br/><br/>If this was Youtube&#39;s anti-firefox or anti-adblock campaigns that I&#39;ve heard of, I would at least expect others to have written about the same problem, but searching the web - nothing. Disabling the adblocker makes no difference btw.<br/><br/>Alternative sites work for some creators - for example Louis Rossmann is on Odysee too - but the vast majority of comments are on YT. <br/><br/>It would be great if the video hub of the world could be on Nostr instead of in Google&#39;s claws - if one client stopped working, just try another one! 2025-11-05T22:54:34Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs27d3az5s5eqh8pjutpdypsqfp60s7y385rnnc82m65xp7fmg6xngzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j68znlh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstcyr8xwqq2rd0256tz64jkepezts72tj4wyk0k6qsq7224rzs72sddsdxl'>nevent1q…sdxl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You mean the stuff about a year ago that someone had managed to extract the secret with some crazy apparatus when having physical access?

Please don&#39;t dismiss, but think through.<br/><br/>Not perfectly on topic, but closely adjacent: Something I find that the stereotypical bitcoiner doesn&#39;t seem to (want to) think about is that there&#39;s a catch 22 here. Even Bitcoin and other freedom technology is dependent on a free enough internet, or the good will of the government. One of the two.<br/><br/>There&#39;s mandatory digital ID:s planned in the UK, surveillance backdoors on all devices being discussed in the EU, and the list goes on, and no doubt more is being thought about everywhere in the world. And in the US you have the stuff about private transactions and the Patriot act.<br/><br/>Everyone talks about having a long time preference, and whether you define that as 10, 50 or even hundreds of years, I don&#39;t think we have that time. Maybe not even five if things go real bad. If every device is surveilled, it&#39;s easy to put anyone using freedom tech the &#34;wrong&#34; way in prison. If mandatory ISP filtering is introduced, it can probably filter out even encrypted data that doesn&#39;t conform to &#34;allowed&#34; standards somehow, some kind of mandatory identifier for approved websites and services. I haven&#39;t heard of such a scheme yet, but these things can come extremely quickly.<br/><br/>Either freedom technology becomes as bad as fiat technology, not in itself, but through the surrounding structure of devices and communication networks, or it is forced to centralize or disappear.<br/><br/>Then, after 10, 100, 1000 or even more years, everything is still controlled, impossible to even think about it being any other way, since any such thoughts can&#39;t be shared.<br/><br/>Freedom technology has already started to fix problems, but in my estimation it&#39;s not over the event horizon yet. Maybe it will be in 10, 30 or 50 years, maybe even shorter or longer, it&#39;s impossible to predict, but either way it requires that it survives until then.<br/><br/>Building freedom tech or lobbying governments for both privacy and the right to use freedom tech, I don&#39;t think that one front is enough for this. I think both are absolutely necessary.<br/><br/>(And for those who say &#34;just move&#34;, right... literally billions of people? Or a few, slashing division of labor to nothing, not being allowed to trade with the rest of the world? I can pay you in bitcoin for the potatoes and you can pay me for the horse and the wooden plough? Hoping that the rest of the world doesn&#39;t want to attack us for using bitcoin, and in that case defending ourselves with sticks? This trend of crackdown attempts is too fast and too widespread for that approach.) 2025-09-26T13:44:58Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdlcgzehw362lryk4y5rskaxrnm5yqune3s49zzg5cp6z0vp9h3dgzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jqn3zj6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst68xm3zkq6zfqheesqr7s3824kx089mcxakk7umpngyflt05sn9s97mf3g'>nevent1q…mf3g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, I know it&#39;s a real thing, but it seemed strange that a paper comes out in the US, especially given its nature, and then just days later Swedish media talks about it being a thing with Swedish ticks, something I didn&#39;t know.

While there&#39;s still often vegetable (aka seed) oil in many of the same foods, they at least got rid of the trans fats.

Later, it was used - at least here in Sweden - by media and others who want to influence the general discourse, with the meaning &#34;someone spreading disinformation and misinformation&#34;, before those words were common. Sometimes (of course heavily overlapping with the latter) it&#39;s used to mean someone with a different opinion than the person saying &#34;troll&#34;.<br/><br/>IMO trolling is the original definition, and thereby an active thing - you aren&#39;t trolling if you don&#39;t know you are trolling. Sometimes it&#39;s obvious when someone is trolling, sometimes it&#39;s not. I have been accused of trolling when I definitely weren&#39;t. It&#39;s possible I&#39;ve accused non-trolls of trolling, I can&#39;t know that. I have seen countless of seemingly trolling posts by high-profile Nostriches, though they get likes and zaps by many others, including high-profile ones, leading me to believe they are ether collectively deluded, or they have such different thoughts than me that I could never see their point of view and they could never see mine, and in either case thereby aren&#39;t trolling. 2025-01-28T23:34:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswt7wu04tj5n8cg0ny0etf9dmtu7n2qvcwlc0n24k0qke4s8lxkuszyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jp3ua37 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfjeemggfpnrl33ewyf2q2sr6rxq4em3hej9tfy4tksyu4s8xmc7c8mef5g'>nevent1q…ef5g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>One of the best things of the app (I don&#39;t even know which app you&#39;re using and it doesn&#39;t matter) is that it uses Nostr - so if you get tired of it for some reason, you can choose another Nostr app and you will still have your posts, messages, followers, follows, etc.! 2025-01-20T23:29:19Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrrcnm06ua02vhpary7t6tulnjzmswgxxathjhhvpe2c95g2ega9szyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jjft0lr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr27j5c8n9wuffzf5d3mcxzw9anln95k5qfz4mmwjnye2q9c6s5xssm4un2'>nevent1q…4un2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We know resonance exists in electric, acoustic, etc. systems, but I don&#39;t understand what you mean.

Not particularly related to this context, but &#34;take responsibility&#34; is a phrase used by governments (at least the Swedish one, but I think more too) to say &#34;abide by the laws that we have made&#34; or &#34;do what we want in excess of the laws that we made&#34; when talking about citizens and companies, and &#34;put more laws in place&#34; when talking about themselves. I don&#39;t think many bitcoiners agree with that definition. If that definition is on one end, and &#34;hold your own keys, store them securely&#34; etc. is on the other end, that&#39;s quite a wide spectrum.<br/><br/>&#34;Stay open to self reflection&#34; The people I&#39;m talking about are extremely selective about this. If the &#34;self reflection&#34; reinforces the beliefs they already have, they&#39;ll do it, otherwise no. Probably a human thing, and to some extent the opposite of self reflection, but they brag about it consistently. Bordering, if not outright, hypocrisy.<br/><br/>&#34;Be confident&#34; - not in something I don&#39;t understand. That&#39;s downright lying, and can be dangerous. (e.g. &#34;sure, I&#39;ll take down this tree...&#34;). I believe this is part of an American/European difference, that I&#39;ve noticed since someone pointed it out. Americans see Europeans as defeatist, not confident, while Europeans see Americans as bragging and arrogant. While we probably think similarly enough, we communicate it way differently.<br/><br/>&#34;stop being offended&#34; - It&#39;s a false premise to begin with that you can control your emotions - what I guess you&#39;re getting at is you can refrain from showing it to others, and that is the definition of taking shit from people. A big reason we have got to the point we have in overreach by governments is precisely because either too few people are offended, or too few people are showing it, through letters, protests, etc. 2025-01-14T22:57:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstesa5d7l0j4uxk34zpqdg83f98242vaw9vvr6l4ycj0vmugfgm4szyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jqt3w09 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsttwftxv63qg4khkv4s938jpma5gt9fx435m6999r3p54dm04y4mg39tx7s'>nevent1q…tx7s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think I figured it out.

However I don&#39;t believe in the law of attraction either, and think it can even be a harmful belief in many cases (maybe somewhat exaggerated, but e.g. &#34;if I think positively, others will do so too&#34;, proceeding to walk through crime-infested area). 2025-01-13T00:27:59Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0yhe640dk3dt47kfpezuhuszl7um4afsjhl42x52fjlyjezv90ngzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jvmhylp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq0yyyhacjsktevg78ym2rya64lew34j2mv8nt9rkpqnzdkaca0mgn0c4tc'>nevent1q…c4tc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Someone wrote somewhere a thing that I think is probably true in many cases with Bitcoin/Nostr people, regarding the &#34;just world&#34; fallacy. If they allow themselves to entertain the thought that people can be the victim of unlucky circumstances, they would have to accept that they are more lucky than someone else. I&#39;m not sure why, but this seems to create cognitive dissonance in many bitcoiners. I think this is relevant, as many are bragging about their &#34;proof of work&#34;, some downright denying the existence of luck. Seems like they put more value to their amount of work put down than the result, despite most of them knowing through Austrian economics that&#39;s not how value works, at least not interpersonally.<br/><br/>(Me still holding the amount I hold today, I see as 90% luck.) 2025-01-12T00:13:23Z
