my Podcast Incubator project. More a passion/artistic thing and I'm not exsctly trying to make profit with it, but if it is successful and evolves into an accellerator then it would potentially turn profitable.

Look for the new moon on Sat. Mar. 29 to determine the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal and the arrival of Eid al-Fitr. The crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset, above the area where the sun had set.

Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Saturday, March 29th, a naked-eye (unaided) sighting of the new crescent moon in North America will be unlikely due to the moon's young age. If the moon is not sighted on March 29th, we would complete 30 days of Ramadan and observe Eid al-Fitr on Monday, March 31st.
Please go out to look for the new crescent moon. It is a beautiful experience to sight its emergence, and it is a sunnah that we hope the ummah revives.

Honestly, I've seen just about everything on nostr. If you just start talking about what you want to talk about people will find you snd it'll become it's own subculture here in nostr. See it countless times now.
If you can actually find something that no one has yet talked about then guess what, if it interests you, you're probably going to become the OG of that community once you start it.

I hear the struggle. Took me months to figure out my first nostr wallet (and that was the limited Primal in-app one - still a reliable daily driver though).

Agree with the urgency for Islamic cybernetics. Example: an open-source AR glasses is needed in the next 18 months or we'll be stuck with the dominate products of the tech giants. 3D printing could be an easier entry point though as all this will see bulk resistance and/or sway toward consumer tech.
Aside from system tear-down is the accelerated negentropic boarder. It has momentum in its favor. Perhaps we push?

Not sure what was actually said (or not said). Seems like it was over H1B visas, so basically that tech companies require an excemption within imigration law so they can hire foriegn workers at lower pay. Average MAGA is more nationalistic and really just wants less imigrants - the whole economic/accelerationist motive is beyond their ideology.

I don't entirely blame them. Most are still ignorant about bitcoin.

شكرًا لك على الرد يا حبيبي وأعتذر عن لغتي العربية (إنها ليست رائعة لذا فإن زوجتي تساعدني في الترجمة).
السياسة لعبة فاسدة وغادرة، ونصيحتي الأولى دائماً هي الهروب منها.
ينبغي الاحتفال بكل انتصار صغير حققه المسلمون في هذا البلد، ولن أرغب أبدًا في التقليل من شأن تلك الانتصارات. ومع ذلك، أنا محلل للسياسة الواقعية وسوف أتكلم عن الأحلام والأوهام عندما أراها.
إذا صوت جميع المسلمين الأمريكيين البالغ عددهم 3.5 مليون، فإن ذلك سيعادل في أفضل الأحوال 2.5% من الناخبين. من أجل المنظور، فاز نادر بنسبة 2.7% في عام 2000، وفاز جونسون بنسبة 3.3% في عام 2016. وتظهر الأحزاب الثالثة المستقلة علامات على النمو وزيادة الشعبوية، لكن السلطة تتعزز باستمرار بين جناحي النظام غير الحزبي في الإمبراطورية.
ومن غير المعقول التصويت لصالح ترامب أو هاريس بسبب دعمهما للإبادة الجماعية للفلسطينيين والشر المطلق؛ لذا، ما لم يكن لديك نوع من الأجندة التسريعية، فمن المحتمل أن يكون ستاين هو الحليف الذي يجب على المسلمين تأييده، وإذا كانت لدينا أي قوة سياسية لكان علينا أن نعمل على استمالة الخضر والليبراليين على مدار العقدين الماضيين.
أما بالنسبة للدول الإسلامية، فقد كانت هناك مقاومة واضحة من الكتلة، وقد شهد العام الماضي توحيد الجهود الدبلوماسية من بين أمور أخرى كثيرة. ليس من السهل بناء التحالفات العسكرية والاقتصادية بين عشية وضحاها، ومن المحتمل أننا لن نشهد حرباً شاملة حتى تتحرك الصين نحو تايوان - ولكننا سنشهد حرباً شاملة بشكل شبه مؤكد مع انهيار الإمبراطورية وصعود الشرق. الوضع الحالي ليس له حل سياسي وبالتالي سيتم إيجاد العدالة بوسائل أخرى. سأقول المزيد عن شرور الديمقراطية في منشورات لاحقة ولكني أدعو لكل دكتاتور عسكري عربي لأنهم بحاجة إلى توجيه الله الآن أكثر من أي وقت مضى.

In honor of those who are fighting most for our freedoms and since I am aiming to my delete Twitter/X account soon, I'm reposting some of my content from the past year. Since Oct 7th I have exclusively used Arabic in my posting (aside from reshares and a lone post in Latin). This was intentionally to boycott use of English in MT dialogue, break algorithm, and improve my Arabic. As Nostr is still newer and not all clients have ease of translation, I'm posting here with English translation included.

الأمم الإسلامية بتتوحد، وفي نفس الوقت، في نوبة صراخ من الإسلام الغربي لما ادرك أنه ماعندهوش أي سيطرة على السياسة العالمية باستثناء الهجرة والبيتكوين.
90% من المسلمين الغربيين ليس لديهم أي فهم للسياسة لأنهم يؤمنون بالسيادة الأخلاقية للديمقراطية. وهذا الجهل يبرر تواطئهم في الترويج للاستعمار. أولئك الذين ليسوا جاهلين هم انتهازيون دعائيون. اتبع المال…

90% of western Muslims have zero understanding of politics because they believe in the moral supremacy of democracy. This ignorance excuses their complicity in promoting colonialism. Those who aren’t ignorant are propagandist opportunists. Follow the money…
In the past two months the world has witnessed many American Muslims become incapable of thinking rationally due to the communal trauma of the Gaza holocaust. This has led to the popularizing of an unhinged political narrative that is now playing directly into the hands of the oppressors. The reality that American Islam has developed a sort of cancer must now be analyzed.

My uncle has a lake cabin that has been in the family for over century now. Every year he adds on a section here and there. New deck and dock project in the works currently. This thing has grown from a tiny 2 bed shack to a monstrous 5 bed jungle-barn (he owned a garden business so the interior is covered with large potted plants and trees).
My cousins (both SDEs) have been able to spend a few summers here on remote work and it has been a goal of mine to do this as well. This weekend my brother and I got to bring our kids down here and it was probably the first time in 20 years we've had kids playing on the beach.

The PJ LORT trilogy was my initial internet culture. Sharing nerd-lore, using elven & hobbit names, fan fiction… It was fun, weird, and reminds me a bit of what Nostr culture is like right now.
The beauty of reading fiction is you get to imagine much of the faerie-world (Tolkien’s lecture - On Fairy Stories - being perhaps the greatest exposition on this) with it becoming an experience of your own. Adaptation, on the other hand, is more editorialized, communalized synthesis of a shared understanding of people's engagements with the story. The former is a fully sovereign experience, the latter a centralized undertaking - very much like the difference between a decentralize protocol and an algorithmic platform or custom AI. Depending on one’s disposition, favorability will incline in either direction and may even fluctuate from time to time. In fact, the ability to freely go back and forth is necessary for development and enhancement - this is how we analyze, test, and innovate.
This freedom of movement and flexibility is something I see attacked a lot lately - and I mean this in both the tech space and the mental arena. We see governments applying pressure on big tech orgs, tech platforms enforcing controls on customers, FUD everywhere so that indie-streamers are more trustworthy than degree-touting journalists. Polarized engagement-farming drives the machine so much that if the troll isn’t being fed, it comes down from the Northern mountains to feast on mutton, dwarves, and hobbits alike. We are much in need of a wizard to cast them all into stone and I’m glad that Nostr has been playing a part in such a spell for me.
Anyhow, this is why I love when a new Tolkien adaptation gets released - my mind gets to ping-pong between the real, dream-world and a new corporate fiction. I can float for a bit in the ether and analyze my fitra with the dream the world is trying to fashion and hopefully balance it with the vision I aim to build.
This is the magic of art and why I believe it will always triumph over science!

Proud dad moment:
My grandfather had a stroke before I was born and passed away when I was 9. I'm the oldest of 4 grandkids and the only one who has memories of him. Both mine and my wife's parents are septuagenarian so even with good healthcare access the chances that they will live to see my children's teenage years is slim.
For the past four months my toddler has been able to wake up and play with a healthy grandparent each day! I never had this opportunity when I was a kid (my wife fortunately did!) and it has not been easy to facilitate considering we live 1000s of miles from either set of grandparent.
If you have the opportunity to do this for your parents and your kids, I couldn't encourage it enough. Both seem like they are living their best life and that couldn't make me happier!
Memory is one of our most important human qualities and I believe this kind of generational connection develops and strengthens it.

No clue. I have friends in Egypt sending me pics of ostrich shawarma though and they don't yet know Nostr is a thing 🤣

I've been checking out Odysee a bit lately and quite enjoying it
