Hey everyone! We survived the eclipse! (Or at least most of us did. 👀)

I have an idea for a Nostr client. It would be a daemon that the user would run in the background and exposes an API for many frontends. That way the thin clients wouldn't have to implement relay management or feed management or even key storage. All they'd have to do is ask the daemon for events and display them. #grownostr #nostrdev #emacs

Here's how I think about government: 1. “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…” and therefore tyranny is wrong. 2. Just because 99 out of 100 want everyone to do something, it doesn't give them the right to enforce their will on the 1 who disagrees. That is still tyranny. Therefore all government must be unanimous. 3. Therefore, any law can start being tyranny against a person as soon as that person stops consenting to it. 4. Given point 3, what is the point of having a government at all? If anyone can stop consenting to a law at any time, it might be simpler to have no government at all. Any existing government might have to constantly be changing laws. I'm not entirely convinced about point 4, but the more I am convinced about it, the more of an anarchist I become. #anarchy #anarchism #voluntarism #voluntaryism #freedom

IMO, we should recommend Bitcoin noobs to use cashu mints instead of custodial wallets. Both can pull the rug on you, but at least cashu mints are far more private.
