Twitter needs a board of directors asap. No more polls and hand wavy decision from Elon. Preferably everyone on the board would be bitcoiners. I don't even care if twitter adopts bitcoin in one way or the other I just want the board to be bitcoiners.

Wow Paul Graham was just banned on twitter. This is like banning the pope of the silicon valley. This is not going to end well. I'd be super nervous if I owned a lot of TSLA...

As of writing this, it looks like his Twitter account is working. Maybe Twitter's software auto-banned him and then staff manually un-banned him.
At any rate, his website has a link to his Mastodon account.

Who couldn't have predicted this no alternate social media links policy would backfire
I regret deleting my post where I predicted ai would ban a ton of users based on the policy and create a headache for staff ultimately forcing them to hire more when they just fired a bunch.

It seems Nostr November was fortuitous, what with all the attention it's suddenly getting. And perhaps we should call this month Nostr December as well, considering Dorsey's donation to Nostr devs.

I will miss Bitcoin Brunch today due to sickness. I expect the event to happen anyway, despite only telling one person I wouldn't attend because at this point half a dozen regulars come weekly.
Given the excess attention span that gives me until 5pm, I expect to write, read, and rest up. Hoping everyone finished the weekend strong and starts the week like a sovereign.

Good morning SN.
Currently syncing a new Bitcoin node. I wanted a cheap dedicated device for this that I can leave on 24/7, so went with a humble Lenovo Thinkpad X260 running Ubuntu.
Alongside Bitcoin Core, I've set up:
- Electrum Server
- Sparrow Wallet
- Bisq
- qBittorrent (seeding Bitcoin Core)

Messing around with the bitcoin artwork creator at https://uselessshit.co/card-generator - a tool that lets you easily create bitcoin gift cards, bookmarks & stickers 😉 Now you can also save the graphics as images to share on social media 🙂
Have a good one!

"I don’t think they don’t like English" (k00b)
So I proved how wrong you are:
"American language is a virus for the planet as a whole!" (01xCc) LINK
Just curious: any reflection so far?

It's funny how he calls it "American language", even though most places where English is spoken were first conquered by England. For crying out loud, America began as an English colony.
The irony goes deeper: there are numerous Russian words in American English. Afterall, modern English is a synthesis of various Germanic, Scandavian, Romance, and Mediterranean languages. English has been adopting words from other languages for a thousand years, in order to magnify the nuisance of it's vocabulary. English is the largest linguistic melting pot in human history.

Any number on how many users don't use English here and how many users share the opinion of that one user you quoted?
