Life is about give and take. Personally, I believe that when people consistently ignore this balance, things tend to break down—sometimes in serious ways. Back to this week’s issue: it isn’t any one person’s fault. Generally speaking, the user should carry the least amount of burden. At the same time, users should remember that this decentralized platform is what allows them to get paid directly—no middlemen, no percentage cuts. So yes, we give, and we take. If there’s one key takeaway, it’s this: for the system to work—and for frustrations to stay manageable—everyone has to participate. When content isn’t being zapped, artists feel like they gave but never got to take. That imbalance is what ultimately leads to frustration. Good morning nostr.

Everything about Somalians and Minnesota aside. How is this lady not a meme yet? Don’t open, it’s ICE!

It’s incredible how many nostr apps I have on my phone ✌️ So much to build still.

Went to goodwell bought 10 CD with 100+ songs for $9.99. A couple more visits like this and I’ll have a library that I can just listen to without paying for streaming services. And then just add to it with time. I’ll setup a pi with Jellyfin connect both of our phones and we are good to go. Stay Sovereign. ✌️ View quoted note →

How do we buy music to download these days? We used buy cds and burn them, what services exist now? I want to break up with streaming services.

Would you like to test something I think is cool?! For our friends @Harlem Bitcoin 🗽🧡 you might be interested to try https://nostrhood.social. As a matter of fact, anyone who has a nostr address (nip-05) that is part of a community, I think you will enjoy nostrhood. If you are part of a community, you will get customized experience. if you run a generic @ primal.net or something like this, you experience will probably not be great, but you are more than welcome to try it. If you find the "Create a Community" Page, you might want to create one for your friends. cc: @Bauzen @DrOrangePill @npub1wvc8...00ea @npub10x2q...e6hd
