furthermore, fuck suits. "oohhhh Zelensky you didn't wear a suit like us big manly men" well I didn't notice no shitass spray tan either or whatever fucking eyeliner JD Vance wears. I don't wear suits, once or twice for a wedding or something I've rented one, but I am decidedly blue collar and I don't pretend to be something I'm not. Suits are the ones behind enshittification of everything.. Suits are the ones regulating without understanding. Suits are the rapists, the pedophiles, the sex traffickers, the economic terrorists behind every financial crisis in history. Behind all the money printing, the rules for thee and not for me, the endless wars and politicking, you'll find a suit -- maybe a pantsuit, but a suite nonetheless. "the suit makes the man." no, the suit is a warning. I'm wary of guys in suits, and I think everyone else should be too. What makes the man is the quality and integrity of his actions, not the suit. The suit is a distraction, like the wolf in sheep's clothing.

I like Ed's writing, and I think it is important to always temper your sky-high fantasies

There Is No AI Revolution

It's disturbing how so many on here shill for Trump and Vance and shit on Zelensky. A lot of people on here think they are free-thinking, freedom loving maxis, but they're really just cunts parroting other cunts. Muted Walker the shitcaster and a bunch of others. Ya'll talk about "clown world" yet I see you all getting out of the same tiny car echoing the same shitty jokes and espousing the same tired beliefs. I like Bitcoin and freedom, not Russian oligarchs and billionaire populists-- don't forget just a couple years ago your Orange Idol was ranting that he didn't like Bitcoin because it was competition for the dollar. He has no spine, no convictions, only greed. A husk of a man hollowed away by hunger. If this offends you please gargle my balls and then mute me in that order.

have some stuff I need to save for in cash, considering @River since they pay out interest in Bitcoin. Also looking at switching over to the Fold debit and credit cards. open to other suggestions. I get more bullish as time goes on. tired of juggling different credit cards, points, cash back, etc, all of which often get devalued or are simply a pain in the ass to redeem, transfer, etc.

GM I FUCKING LOVE NOSTR

imposters

GM nostr! gonna take this opportunity to shill the greatest keyboard imo:

Ultimate Hacking Keyboard - The keyboard. For professionals.

I switched back for a couple days to my old Apple Magic Keyboard. Can't do it. While I appreciate the slimness, I get wrist and shoulder pain, especially on the right (mouse) side, and the UHK completely alleviates this. It's a more natural position for me and I also use the two modules so I can scroll and mouse around without leaving homerow. Will probably buy a couple more eventually out of fear the company goes out of business. Not interested in building my own keyboard so while the price is steep, it's well worth it to me. #gm #keyboardstr

I’ll admit I still oscillate between “I am absolutely certain of Bitcoin’s success” and “Maybe I am actually crazy for putting my retirement money into this” I can’t be the only one right?

curious if you use the Fold card, what is your opinion of it? Now that they have both a debit and credit card I'm getting really tempted to go all in.

fucking dope shirt @jack mallers

GM! Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee, or some sats.

The ColdCard Q website absolutely wrecks my iPhone XR, completely halts to a crawl. Unusable. I know I need a new phone but holy shit.

anytime I see people hating on capitalism I can't help but think maybe it isn't he capitalism but the fact that the entire system depends on cheap debt and money printing. maybe if parting with money actually had a cost, we'd have less waste. less malinvestment. maybe if you couldn't subsidize your corporate losses, maybe if the government couldn't bail you out at the expense of plebs, maybe people would stop blaming capitalism. it should hurt and give pause to part ways with real money.

favorite native nostr app for macOS?

Zeus said using Alby is custodial. I thought Albyhub is noncustodial? I obviously have a lot to learn, but after hearing so many people praise Lightning and Alby, I feel like it’s still not ready for the average user. I don’t mind self hosting and a little risk I do the wrong thing, but for most people it’ll be a pain. Messed up the mounts in pod man and when restarting my hub I opened a channel twice, $40 or so total, and can’t find any clear way to view the on-chain details. Will those channels close after inactivity? Does it go back to the on-chain Alby wallet? #alby #asknostr

well, lost a small amount of funds because I was switching from Podman-compose to using quadlets. not sure why/how, the data volumes were the same and my bitcoin node came up and synced, but Alby acted like it was a fresh install. used the recovery words, along with the backup tool, but not sure what I did wrong: Balances (sats): Spendable: 0; total: 0; reserved: 0 Pending from channel closures: 0 only had like $5 or so but I had to open a new channel again 😕 not sure what went wrong or why the recovery words/wallet backup didn't restore my balance. appreciate any advice
