I support BIP110 because Bitcoin is essential to the future of mankind and the last 8 months have proven it to be the best immediate solution to the critical injury inflicted by Core 30.
This is a cool project but what I really want to see is: Square dominating the agentic commerce for physical goods. I should be able to buy @nprofile…n4sc , @nprofile…ngef , @nprofile…r43u with a voice note to my clanker and spend from my wallet. I don't even care if it's a bit buggy.
This WILL take off. It's a matter of when and who leads the way.

⚡️🇪🇺 NEW - The EU’s highest court has ruled that VPNs are legal tools, and VPN companies cannot be blamed simply because users employ them to bypass geo-blocks.
The ruling stems from a copyright case involving Anne Frank’s writings. A Belgian website published some of her manuscripts online but blocked visitors from the Netherlands, where parts of the work remain protected by copyright until 2037.
Anne Frank’s rights holders argued the site was still breaking the law because users could bypass the block with a VPN.
The court disagreed and ruled that a website using effective geo-blocking cannot be held responsible if some users circumvent it with a VPN.
The judges also affirmed that VPNs are legitimate privacy tools.

I was thinking about creating a new art-related channel. I promoted fiatjaf's @nprofile…swme, but it's almost dead.

💔 Today is a heartbreaking day for our family.
We lost 40 olive trees to the wildfires in Sicily. 🌿🔥
The hardest part is seeing decades of my father’s work disappear in just a few hours.
When you buy a bottle or a tin of olive oil, you only see the final product. Behind every harvest are years of care, patience, and hard work.
If you have a few minutes, please watch this documentary. It helps explain why these fires are more than just a natural disaster.

Apparently my HOA, which alread installed Flock cameras, is now implementing a car that drives around and surveils the property but they are calling it "inspections" and expressly saying its not surveillance. So....here we go. Recommendations from the real ones out here?
My wife is convinced the earth is flat after crazy research trying to prove it is a globe. She has an IQ well past the genius line, phd in human genetics, masters in statistics, and is actively the 5th column within a large hospital system trying to protect your genome from being farmed out to big Pharma. When she goes deep on something she can't stop. Also why she makes all the food for our kids from scratch.
What convinced me was this....she said you did the research on Bitcoin and I trusted you to put in an uncomfortable percentage of our networth in it. She then asked that I trust her research and open my mind to the possibility. I trust her implicitly with my life so I'm now a flat earther 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️😎😎😎

I really wish the US had a free market economy. It’s hard to imagine how prosperous we would be.
I find the sociological aspects of BIP-110 to be far more interesting than the technical aspects. 110 supporters admit it's not a technical solution; the BIP itself admits it can't stop arbitrary data.
But what's fascinating is the Bitcoin Puritans claim they are trying to fix "Bitcoin Culture" at the "social layer" by rejecting "woke Core developers."
What's amusing about this is I see little difference between puritans and the woke folk they detest. AFAICT the only distinction is which particular attributes each group uses to select people for cancellation.
Fuck woke mobs.
Fuck puritan mobs.

For me, there is no gray area between these two statements.
I completely agree with Hannah Arendt.
Empathy is not a weakness but a strength. A society loses its humanity not because there is too much compassion, but because there is too little of it.

#Pseudonymity on X is officially dead. After my account was suspended for reasons unknown, I tried to get back access with a new account, but the walls are up.
Disposable emails are blocked, leaving only phone verification—which, in most countries, is just a backdoor to your full legal identity. I refuse to believe that "free speech" should be conditional on surrendering my privacy to a database.
And the "alternatives"? They’re a complete pain in the ass. My only other choice is to use these clunky, view-only aggregation apps. They're a nightmare to navigate, and you're basically flying blind, having no clue how they’re harvesting and selling your viewing habits to the highest bidder.
This isn't even Elon’s fault; it’s the inevitable result of government overreach and suffocating overregulation. It just proves that centralized social media is a dead end road. In an age of extreme polarization, relying on a few corporate gatekeepers—or sketchy third-party wrappers—is a fast track to the downfall of any nation-state that pretents to value freedom rights. And welcome to NOSTR by the way.
Opt out. Exit Linkedin. Exit X. Exit centralized social media.

Volkswagen blocked their app on GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and other custom ROMs.
They claim it's for "security" because the app now relies on Google's Play Integrity API and certified Android standards.
Meanwhile, the same app still works fine on Android 10 devices that stopped getting security updates years ago.

Android 10 received its last official security update from Google on March 6, 2023.

Wow what a load of crap NVK was just now spewing at the end of Walker's podcast. Yes most philosophy is BS but guess what, NVK was making philosophical claims in saying those stupid things!! BS ones lol!! Trying to say morality isn't real and even reality isn't real.

You are bound by nothing.
You can do anything.
So what do you want to do?
That’s the question.
i started this post with good morning, i love you. then the day went wild, i never finished it, and now i say, good night, sweet dreams.
my son asked about my mom today: who's belly was i in?...
i told him gramma angie. you didn't get to meet her.
why i didn't get to meet her?
she died before you were born.
we went back and forth about life and death and illness... cancer, specifically. it was really beautiful...; i am amazed by his sweet thought processes. he's so young...
we ended on how i see her in hawks and eagles... birds of prey... she loved to fly.. probably her favorite thing. followed by her love of gardening.. she had an out of this world flower garden.
we went out to our garden to plant the last seedlings and move some hoses around before our weekend road trip. right at the entrance was an owl's feather. "gramma angie!"
... i think as of today all feathers to him will be my mom... pretty special...

If smoke comes out of a train moving 20 MPH, it creates a clear trail behind its movement.
If smoke comes out of a volcano on a spinning Earth ball rotating at 1,000 MPH equatorial surface speed (plus 2M+ additional MPH in 5 different directions as we corkscrew through the solar system + galaxy + infinitely-expanding universe...) the smoke goes straight up, because "gravity" (a concept invented by freemasons) turns on, and makes all of the air everywhere stick to the Earth ball like cosmic superglue.
BUT...this ultra-powerful gravity force magically disappears when you let go of a balloon 🎈🪄
What do you think...are you "trusting the science" on this one?
Or is something fishy going on here? 🤔

The first Arabic Nostr relay just launched its educational website.
We kept it simple: back to the basics and values inspired by the work of @nprofile…8f86 and @nprofile…205a
Arabic speaker? Know any Arabic-speaking nostriches?
We’re also looking for content creators whose work we can feature and help amplify.
We’re continuously improving the site, so if you spot anything, or have ideas, please DM me or @nprofile…prmq.
Share it forward. 💜

Running a node is essential for participating in network consensus. While some clients choose your consensus rules for you, others give you full control. I personally choose Bitcoin Knots and am signaling for BIP110. Anyone claiming BIP110 doesn't have consensus is mistaken. It does, and those who disagree will end up on the wrong side of the chain.

another video of me playing with magic internet money.
cool how all the wallets speak lightning. I used seven different wallets in this vid. Each have their own tradeoffs and capabilities.
And they all just work :)
Side note. Arke.cash is truly the weirdest bitcoin UX I’ve ever seen which was slightly refreshing tbh. Try it and cringe and smile.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: -
Bitcoin was already changed fundamentally (before blowing out op_return limit) when shitcoin core devs CHANGED THE DOCUMENTATION to RATIONALIZE inscription bug instead of FIXING it.
They officially signalled everyone at that point that bitcoin is not just for money but for (INEFFICIENT) DATA STORAGE as well.

Ode to my daughter.

...And so I hold her—
not with strength—
I have none left—
but with something older.
Primal. Anchored. Pure.
Something that says:
I am here for you.
And I'll always be.
Forever.
No matter what.
