War leads to one thing, death.
The profiteering is a side quest.
Europe must have a death wish. They are not a world power. They are totally dependent on the real world powers.
Their moral compass is fundamentally broken, as they have forgotten death is permanent.

Uh, no.
American security comes via the US military and the US dollar. We provided European security for decades because of economic relationships and historical friendships.
There is no need to “secure” Europe any longer. Russia is not some nazi boogie man. Europe has willingly allowed themselves to be invaded by migrants to sustain populations. The Euro is a failure. The European Union is a bureaucratic mess, and now it needs war to sustain its own paradigm of self importance, and keep its member nations on the same page. Europe is no longer a partner but rather a burden, and an ungrateful self aggrandized one at that.
Maybe if the European Union was to actually be a single nation state, and all the countries were to band together like a United States if Europe, they could regain their importance in the world, but as it stands, the nations of Europe are slowly melting away to unimportance.

The short clip is literally just the end of the meeting totally out of context. Typical internet short attention span hysteria mongering.
The whole meeting itself should also be taken into contextual consideration as it was scheduled AFTER an entire deal framework was already totally hammered out. Then during the scheduled media time, Zelenskyy starts back peddling from the agreed deal and asking for more and more concessions and commitments.
Like a child asking for ice cream in front of all their friends when you already told them no in private before thinking that the pressure of the publicity will yield a different response from the parent.

Trump had a deal ready to be signed with Zelenskyy, where USA would rebuild Ukraine, protect ukraine, and negotiate an end to the war for Ukraine, in exchange for the rights for US companies to extract natural resources from Ukraine, and keep the profits. Then, for 40 min Zelenskyy kept walking back the deal, asking for more compromises, saying that he wants more of this that and another thing, and trump kept entertaining him saying okay we will see, and suggesting all those things could still be negotiated even tho the deal was pretty much already drawn up.
Then at the end of the meeting, Trump and Vance wanted to shit on the Biden administration for mismanaging world events and having the war start in the first place. They accused Biden of just talking tough and giving money and weapons but not actually solving the problem, but then Zelenskyy wanted to defend Biden’s administration, and then suggested that the last time trump was president he didn’t do anything to stop Russia, who had already taken over Crimea, and give Crimea back to Ukraine. Vance took offense to such things, demanded a simple thank you for trump, which Zelenskyy refused to give, pissing Trump off. Then Zelenskyy started talking back to Trump, cutting him off, and essentially blew up the deal by being disrespectful and suggesting no deal is good enough except for a surrender and withdrawal by Russia, which Trump refers to as playing cards for world war 3.
sometimes small countries lose, that’s the way of the world. Zelenskyy is acting like a chihuahua.

Does this mean activity metrics are skewed by bot farms?
As bot farms typically suck up sats, potentially better metrics lie in zap stats, how many feed the bots?
Of course those metrics would be skewed by anonymous zaps…

Depends on who winds up with the controlling share. If it’s private, government just becomes a giant hedge fund with unlimited liquidity, pumping everyone’s bags, If it’s the government, socialism.

Little do you know I have reached out privately to discuss potential improvements to Damus a number of times, asking for better relay management, live activity support, identified usability issues, and have generally done my best as a user to contribute where I can when I can.
The fact you no longer subscribe is a testimony to my point- subscribers will stop supporting Damus because they find little reason to continue to do so.

I paid for Damus purple, the promise was more features would be added for subscribers, I’ve been patient for a year, no more features while other clients add them and the person I paid is working on platforms that don’t even help the subscribers.

Dude you’re the one that wants notedeck and an android client. Damus users just want Damus to be better. I didn’t sell subscribers a promise that I’d add more features as soon as possible, you did.
It’s been a year, where are the new features? And don’t say test flight or notedeck, cuz note deck doesn’t work on my iPhone, and you closed test flight after the promise was Made.

You literally have had this statement screenshotted below on Damus purple website since like day one and what other features did you add? Access to test flight was actually removing a feature from people to create exclusivity for those who purchased purple, access to your notedeck doesn’t even apply to users who use iOS, which is literally every Damus purple subscriber… I don’t use nostr on my computer, and I don’t care about Android cuz I have an iphone(along with every other purple subscriber) https://image.nostr.build/491deedba36e0b35a5b6cf75dd273c1650f28ccb9d021c1d1d919c633dfb5549.jpg

Sure it’s fast and scrolls quickly and isn’t cluttered, but it’s literally not even showing me posts from the people I follow because it doesn’t support their kinds??

Now I have to literally repost an entire photo series from this month using Nostur because I didn’t even realize Damus doesn’t support this stuff!

2025-02-01 12:31:02

Just made a post on Nostur that Damus doesn’t even recognize. But it shows up on olas, yet Damus doesn’t even know I made a post at all! How much of nostr am I missing by using Damus??
Damus is basically abandoned software imho, purple subscribers are getting stars on their profile as an update while other apps are displaying new kinds like images and live events and all kinds of stuff i probably have no idea about because im using … Damus.
Why is notedeck more important than the application subscribers paid for? @npub1xts…kk5s ??
Recommend Damus users migrate to Nostur, it’s pretty rad and basically better at everything.

Been asking for better relay management in clients for like a whole year now. We call them topical relays and a topical relay explorer is the client view.
In damus there is a workaround, if you’re in the global feed you can click the top right icon thing and turn off all but one relay, refresh, and BAM! Topical relay explorer in Damus! I use it to check your news relay already!
