Hello funny square phone.

I'm planning out my trip to DWeb camp in Berlin this year. I've never been to Germany. Does anyone have recommendations of things to see while I'm there or places to stay? Any advice on traveling in Germany?

One part of Star Wars that always seemed unfuturistic was how disconnected all the tech was. Like they talk to each other on radios and carry data around on chips and pay with cash a lot of the time. But watching Andor today it doesn’t seem so silly. Like I could totally see a world where AI accelerates offensive capabilities so quickly that as a defense we just turn off the internet and computers become simpler tools again.

I've had this idea for a while to start a Nostr-native cooperative to do things like run a reliable relay, host a multi-sig signer, and dogfood Nostr tools for organizing. Also it seems to me like a cool way to find and meet other lefty Nostr users. I'm a member of the

Strike just locked my account (not the first time) for trying to make a lightning payment to @routstr. I think I'm done with them. Any other exchanges that play nice with US with <=1% fees?

Just had the first flotilla design review meeting *in flotilla* using the voice rooms feature I am building. Fun times!

Re-reading the Declaration of Independence today. It's surprising to me how many of the grievances describing the tyranny of the king of England also describe the actions of Trump today: - He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. - He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither - For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: - For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States - For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world - For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent - For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury Nothing about pedophile rings in the Declaration though.

While I put the finishing touches on Horcrux I'm starting to contribute to Flotilla, and one of my goals is to get Discord-style voice channels added before their age-verification policies go into effect. If you are a user of Discord voice channels, what's one thing you would change about them? I've always been interested in Discord voice channels because they are a rare combination of ephemeral, porous, serendipitous social space on the internet. Most of our internet communication happens in low-bandwidth, structured spaces where the contents are saved permanently. So in that sense Discord voice channels share more in common with IRL spaces than something like microblogging. If you're a user of voice channels or otherwise would like to give input on them, I'd love to interview you. And if you'd like to be an early tester or to collaborate on the implementation please reply here or send me a DM!
