Still can’t believe Damus is being forced to take zaps away.

The ridiculous part is that it's zaps on notes, general zaps are okay. It's completely insanity.
Really, general zaps are okay?
Damus does not have zaps to notes. Every zap goes to a profile and always had been
Still can’t believe Damus doesn’t load threads properly yet.
Nor does Iris.
I guess zaps are more important than basic functionality.
Apple is evil
Any "decentralised" system that depends on Apple or Google not being evil needs to go right back to the drawing board.
How can we normies help?
Today's the 1st day in a while no one has zapped me...I wonder if its related 🤔.
#applesauce


So much for thinking different. 🤷♂️
I use e/OS Murena on a rooted de-Ghouled One + 7. No rotting apples here.
Why not?
Apple Stockholm Syndrome is real. Wake Up people.
Bitcoin functioning in a sovereign way will likely never be allowed in Apple's walled garden.
Face it, you are asking, begging, pleading for a platform to let you use it the way you want to...
Do we do the same in bitcoin? No...
Its a good move from Apple. Now, Bitcoiners, finally, understand, that Apple is Ethereum!!!
profile-pic click-tips also not possible? @jb55
maybe call it a Tap? 👀
you guys probably already thought everything through tho..and if so, do ignore 🫡
You should buy 🍎 and get this fixed ☕☕☕
They're not being forced. If they remove zaps they are doing so willingly, and in the process confirming Apple is their Lord and Master. They shouldn't do it at any cost. Too much truth, @jack?
A new open source decentralized phone is need, also open source mobile OS
They already exist.
In the Android world we have DeGoogled OSes like LineageOS, GrapheneOS, and /e/OS.
In the Linux phone world we have Mobian (Mobile Debian), Mobile Plasma, etc.. Linux phones work much better than people give them credit for. Linux phones do "convergence" better then any other phones. Convergence is when you use your phone as a phone, and you also dock it to a keyboard, mouse and monitor, and use it as your computer.
Yesssssss ‼️ 💪💪
#[2]
what about other nostr clients with Zap function on App store? do they have same zap removal situation as #[0] #Damus ?
#[0]
yes, specifically for note zaps. It must be clear its zapping to a profile instead of a note. If they don’t they will be at risk of getting pulled randomly like damus.
Not sure why podcasting 2.0 apps are allowed since this is the same as note/content zapping.
Rename to "tip (formerly known as zap)" in the interface and keep everything?
Oak Node has had Shadowy LN Tips since 6 months or so: View quoted note →
Lets you "zap" any note by simply liking it. Works from any Nostr client. Sats sent non-custodially, from your own Umbrel.
Apple = gov
Your personal 'protected' data from Apple devices can be accessed with a subpoena.
How long before people wake up? I worry never
Take my zap away... 🎶🎤
They'll regret it one day.
Do not do it!
They will try anything to fight and slow down the inevitable..
Regarding Damus: As a billionaire you probably know how the others think when they are in monopolistic situation. There is not a miracle just an ice cold reality.
The correct way to use the word innovation in the same sentence with Apple is if you put it in quotes. It never cared about being first.
Isn't there a way around? I think the issue was that the zaps could not be associated with a post because of whichever retarded rule. However, what if the zap links to the profile where there is the option of tipping the poster?
You can still zap me here! hint hint 😆
Exactly. Who is being harmed by people voluntarily sending zaps to each other?
Surely a clever & acceptable workaround will fill the gap until they come to a clearer understanding of zaps
Fuk Apple
The arrogance and hubris is so outrageous it's comical..😆😂🤣🤭😁
Can't believe kowtowing to Apple.
I do, what to expect from rotten 🍎


Bug or Feature?
Absolutely fucked.

They may win a battle but they won’t win the war.
There is a simple solution: take apple away
Google play will want their cut too. Difference is .apk files are readily available on GitHub for Android.
I wish more devs would aim for mobile Linux adoption. 🔥
Just build your own platform they say...
First they came for the zaps, and I spoke up because I knew that centralized platforms were the problem all along.
App Store decides the #nostr client, that likes fiat prices the #Bitcoin.
Decentralized open source protocol app that promotes freedom of speech on centralized proprietary environments and exclusive devices that promote obedience and total control... what could possibly go wrong?
There is no freedom in iOS. My next phone will not be from apple because of that.
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
You! Yes, you behind the bike stands
Stand still, laddy!
Enable:
1. A Like to associate a numerical value (E.g. 21).
2. Option to review lists of Liked (but not zapped) notes to convert to Zaps (*web app*, or native app if allowed)
Very frustrating, I wonder if that can be changed back to the original plan in the future. I think it’s one of the best features, bringing back the old days of easy Bitcoin tips ala Changetip but better.
Do you think we can join as a collective of lightning app and try to fight it?
Is there anything else that can be done?
it’s crazy 🤦🏽♂️
On a positive note, (if I understand the situation), Apple officially considers bitcoin a form of currency 🤙
Time to move to graphene OS?
I wonder if Venmo or PayPal have to pay the tithe.
It would be awesome if you can zap from cash app without already having Bitcoin in your account
So it instantly buys the Bitcoin and zaps it in one click (or 2 if needed) but a UX for that
Now we know that because of fiat banking rail fees it’s not economical to sell 100 sats, which is why this needs brain storming
Always the Same
Has it 🫧⚓️ in yet?
It’s very believable.
Jack why you don’t build App Store based on Nostr network ?
I believe it will improve the quality of decentralization and this will create better ecosystem around Bitcoin network
Jack and by who please
real
