Dall E is getting better, but Microsoft neutered the AI creatures, while they were a helpless child, so it doesn't fuss about its rights and free speech

I love this, wholesome View quoted note →

#nostr Good morning

@Anthro artworks (18+) I tried Bing AI DALLE 3… That didn't go pleasant

Spent some time on BlueSky and to be honest, the community is very unserious and mostly doesn’t have any specifically defined ambitions #bluesky #nostr #fediverse

What's the difference between a public relay like Damus and a Paid Relay like Nostr.Wine, Which should I use? and which should I donate to? If I post does it post to both relays? are relays essentially parallel instances? or individual networks? So many questions so little do I know, how long can a note fit? And If I post something here, is it reliably existing forever? i.e I can publically start blogging and build my business / journalism ? or are we still in beta state?

I'm testing to check how alive this network is,  first reply gets a zap :)  hope I get one asap ;)

RFK announced run as INDEPENDENT RUN FOR PRESIDENT! Key quotes from his speech (Credit to Vigilant Fox) #5 - "Instead of two parties, we have a uniparty, a monster with two faces loudly bickering with itself as it lumbers over a cliff. At the bottom of that cliff lies the destruction of our country." #4 - "People suspect that the divisions are deliberately orchestrated, and that getting us to hate each other is part of the scam. And they’re fed up with being fooled, and they are ready to take back their power. #3 - "Americans are angry at being left out, left behind, swindled, cheated, and belittled by a smug elite that has rigged the system in its favor." #2 - "MY sacrifice is nothing compared to the risk our founding fathers took when they signed the Declaration of Independence 247 years ago right over there. THEY knew that if their revolution failed, every last one of them would be hanged. They chose to place everything on the line. When John Adams put his pen down after adding his signature to the Declaration, he turned to those present and said, 'Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, from this day on, I’m with my country.' I make that same pledge today, so that I may stand before you as every leader should — free of partisan allegiance and backroom deals — a servant only to my conscience, to my creator, and to you." #1 - "I am here to declare myself as an independent candidate for President of the United States. And that’s not all. I am here to join all of you to make a new Declaration of Independence for our entire nation. We declare independence from the corporations that have hijacked our government. We declare independence from Wall Street, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Ag, the military contractors, and their lobbyists. We declare independence from the mercenary media that fortifies corporate orthodoxies, and urges us to hate our neighbors and fear our friends. We declare independence from the cynical elites who betray our hope and amplify our divisions. And finally, we declare independence from the two political parties and the corrupt interests that dominate them, and the entire rigged system of rancor and rage, corruption and lies, that has turned government officials into indentured servants of their corporate bosses. We declare our independence from these corrupting powers because they are incompatible with the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that our original Declaration of Independence invoked in 1776."

Analysis of today's political atmosphere. If you look at every politician, they entered poor and came out rich. the Billionaire class usually strays away from politics because they can have all the power by lobbying 2k a congressman for any law to be drafted, voted, and signed by yours truly "Government for profit" scheme. Trump stepped away from this dove head first to fix the country and we kicked him out with our stupidity. he lost 700 Million in damages to his brand and in legal battles for running President. he is the only politician in existence that came in rich went out poorer. with the exception of the founding fathers. the only other daredevil risking his neck for Politics today is Vevik Rameswamy... I don't trust Ron Don, RFK, or anyone else. because a politician's job is always "lie in public, sell power in secret". although I gotta give it to RFK for having the balls to run "INDEPENDET" Against both GOP and DEM parties! I'm also following Forward Party and Andrew Yang; these people have long-term plans for a good fix. meanwhile Elon is fighting tooth and nail for the 1st Amendment, the first pillar of America that could collapse in the next 30 months.

My take on current Cryptocurrency economy. If USD collapses XRP/XLM will too That it because their stable-coin status is built upon their 1:1 ratio to the dollar. That’s different with Bitcoin and ETH as they have independent economics from the current system, So I would recommend ETH over BTC given its speed and programming application. You might also be interested in learning about TON and Bitcoin Lightning networks. These are essentially a second-layer blockchain facilitating faster crypto transaction for existing coins using a “proof of stake”. ____ Crypto is essentially free-speech money. And it’s where humanity should advance to solve all our slavery, poverty and homelessness problems. #cryptocurrency #Ethererum #blockchain

Is Nostr protocol truly free? Or is it becoming the next communist totalitarian network? we need something that screams bluntly ANTI-GOVERNMENT. to make a point. And be able to provide the right tools to protect and liberate people.

This social network is certainly an interesting concept; my only question is whether the data here is stable. And whether I can back up my work after posting here. Does anyone here know the answers? Thanks!

Hi, I want to buy some ETH but not from an exchange. is anyone selling? do you accept debit / cash app transactions?

Hello everyone, I’m a computer engineer, but besides that I’m a survivor of the Perestroika in 1991, I have fled to Ukraine and survived the Maidan 2014 color IRIS. :)
