Sadly, was only a matter of time. Apple is not a corporation with good values. While I intend to run the ones I have into the ground, I will never puchase another one of their products.

I love your sentiment and I agree with pre-facebook era vibe - the computer was there to do wild shit and burn CDs...similar to reality TV screwing up MTV, socials and porn have cheapened the average potential. However, you're forgetting about Uncle Sammy...Snowden was over a decade ago...that work has been kept up, expanded, and supercharged. They know when you take a shit, and they have everyone fooled into thinking, "Well as long as I don't commit a crime..." I'm sure the 19th century slaves thought the same just before they got lynched without provocation.

Also if I use a hardware wallet w/ app, is there a way to zap without a 3rd party or copy invoice each time?

I like the option to customize. I just do think the people building this plaform, both folks like you at the heart and those helping develop it out & provide content, are overly focused on monetizing. When someone has a quality product/post, people will want to forward their money, and many people are craving microtransactions. When it's constantly requested/expected/demanded, that's a turnoff from a marketing perspective. People will be wise to remember the majority of consumers/citizens don't want to feel that every interaction is pay to play. Either way, the customizable feature caters to all mindsets.

i thought the 🤙 was the "like," what am i missing?

I concur. hey i don't want any jordan peterson candy or anything but how might a person connect one of these nostr wallets to ledger live?

Anyone who thinks that the internet has anything to do with freedom missed the boat on net neutrality's failure. And anyone who thinks Jack Dorsey didn't miss the same boat must not be on Jack Dorsey's Gulfstream.
