P.S.: I've tested and explored Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Zorin OS. I like the latter two the most. But that's subjective 😉

I've been using #Microsoft #Windows for 30+ years. A few weeks ago, I have voted with my feet and left. 👋
Most of the time, I've liked using MS products. But the last few years MS made it harder and harder for me to maintain control over my own personal data. Creepy upcoming "features" like "Recall" which cannot be uninstalled and the ever growing trend to cloudify everything made me explore Linux desktop distributions (once again).
I am fully on #Linux now. And I am super excited because it is fast and flawless, and I as a user am back in control again. There are many Linux distributions which are super easy to install, maintain and use, especially for people who what the Windows (or Mac) look & feel. Plus, absolutely no terminal skills needed at all, just point and click. For all my major applications there are open source alternatives. And the few remaining special programs can be run in a sandbox.
Last, but not least: My old laptop is twice as fast now 😀 no more "application is not responding" messages or staring at the revolving blue loop.
Take a look and give it a try. It is free. It is open source. It is from the people, for the people.
It is easy now (really, I've tried a few times in the past 20 years but now Linux has really matured enough so even my grandmother can use it 🙂)
Try a few of the recommended distributions (many can be simply explored running on a USB stick, e.g. the ones from the links below) and check it out yourself.

That makes sense. 😂
Is the cache size related to the number of relays I am connected to? I.e. are there duplicates of the same 50 GB profile image from multiple relays in the Amethyst app cache?

Bitcoin is neutral.
Such a simple yet powerful word.
Bitcoin isn't red or blue,
left or right,
Black or white,
friend or foe.
#bitcoin is neutral and for everyone, like water to drink or air to breathe.

After 3 days, my @nprofile…s8dt Android app cache is already at 1 GB size 😯 I am wondering what's all that cached data. Is this typical behavior?

Day 3 on Nostr, now wrapping my head around relays.
+ super excited about Amethyst, Amber and Citrine, though still trying to figure out how to get everything running smoothly. 😂
Huge shoutout to @nprofile…fpck for the great work

So curious who's gonna be the first guest! Good luck and I cross my fingers that everything will work as planned. 🤞🍀🙏

If in doubt, zoom out.
Thanks for reminding again, @nprofile…pyug
One of the most important rules of long term investment ever.
Nevertheless, I check prices almost daily. 😂
Still a lot of room to grow and tame the mind...

Thank you for the detailed explanation!
Being new to Nostr, I'm still trying to fully understand the relay concept and its possible implications:
1. What prevents esp. large relays from/selling relayed data to the highest bidder (data brokers, marketing/profiling companies etc.), and/ or hand over to a government agency if requested? Does it make a difference if a relay service is a paid service or free privately managed one?
2. Relayed data is all unencrypted Json, right?Ist it stored permanently on relays (like all BTC Txs/UTXOs on all participating nodes)?

Happy book anniversary, Lyn! I'm reading my copy for the 2nd time now (and probably not the last time). And/or will give it to one of my precoiner friends.

thank you so much! 😀 it feels both awesome and kind of weird at the same time to get magic internet money from anon #nostr frens! 😉 Looking forward to my day 2, too

Awesome! That's what I call a jump start ;)
Today was my first day on #nostr, too. I am still struggling with some of the basics like getting a wallet for zaps connected (seems like I suceeded now) finding out about adding proper relays, playing with different clients...
So much to learn, I am loving it! GN and keep it up!
