Blokes I'm a realist and it's not looking good for our guys on trial in this lawfare environment. Therefore it's up to us. Run a node. Use it. Use Tor. Fuck custodians

Sick episode. Also, I figured out why @npub16dsu2ghu9… always boosts 7,777 sats. It's because seven is the only number apart from zero that has two syllables, so he's basically using the number to increase his time spent on the boost stage. Nice one. Try 77,777 next time mate.

I agree with Ben it feels like Samourai have been weirdly memoryholed. WTAF. But like he says, the recent changes can only be good for them. We still need more limelight though. FREESAMOURAI

Awesome episode. Appreciate the FREESAMOURAI callout. Why is the EFF supporting other devs but not Samourai and T Dev? Perhaps once a month you guys could summarize the situation e.g. upcoming court dates etc. to help keep things top of mind for everyone. There is so much noise. This matters.

11:37 PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller, not Portable Logic Controller. No expert would make a mistake like that, so now I'm wondering how much of an expert _is_ Luke... (don't know him at all, I'm sure he's a nice guy). Let's see what the rest of the show has in store...
