Not because I like the city — I don&#39;t — but because my girlfriend lived there when we met and she wasn&#39;t quite ready to leave yet. Admittedly the tax benefit is nice too.<br/><br/>Earlier this week we decided to get out however, at least for a couple of weeks, to see how the situation develops without being in the middle of it. The uncertainty of it all and potential for escalation is just not a comfortable situation to be in.<br/><br/>With that said, daily life in Dubai was in fact quite normal still when we left— just a bit more quiet. The Starbucks is open, the sports bar serves cold Guinness, and Domino’s is delivering to your doorstep.<br/><br/>There were missile alerts on our phones maybe once a day, and we could sometimes hear the sound of an explosion, mostly from interceptions I believe. But other than that, if you wouldn&#39;t watch the news, you may not even know something was going on.<br/><br/>I’ve seen reports on reputable international news media suggesting that influencers are required to convey a positive image of Dubai in these times— and are being barred from posting anything negative about what’s going on. I don’t know to what extent that’s true — I wouldn’t put it past the local authorities — but I do know that I am myself not some Dubai propagandist or Emir simp, yet I also got the impression that the UAE government is dealing with the attacks quite well, so far at least.<br/><br/>Also on the topic of influencers, I have seen a good amount of schadenfreude on social media etc. with people mocking the &#34;influencer class&#34; that now finds itself in the middle of rocket fire. I get it and part of me even feels the same way. But you know, most people in Dubai aren&#39;t influencers.<br/><br/>In fact, most people in Dubai are actually guest workers from places like South and Southeast Asia that work in the UAE to send money back to their family. And if shit really would hit the fan, guess who&#39;ll actually be most likely to get stuck there without an easy way home? Yeah probably not the influencer class.<br/><br/>If things in Dubai do take a turn for the worse from here and we don&#39;t return, I won&#39;t miss the city personally— but I will feel bad for these millions of people that were just living their lives peacefully until the jihadist regime across the sea decided to drag them into a war none of them had anything to do with, and no one wanted to be part of. 2026-03-12T11:29:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2zc0qgksg6x9ljrzs9jeym2y8cf39sra2u8qq6wnse3aty37gzeszyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46ge36xhc <a href="https://knotslies.com/">https://knotslies.com/</a> 2026-02-27T18:18:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy9xjcuw9mft6scmcnwgsdspyg87q7amv9ka05fltkqp3s857qu2qzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46gzlz5mn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9c4yzhgnydn9pjxpn6tyehzqewcdqrp6nxgzja6wq20umk87kd2cpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq0sdeyh'>nevent1q…deyh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>URSF stands for User Rejected Soft Fork.<br/><br/>If miners were to activate BIP110, URSF nodes would reject this so the chain splits between BIP110 nodes that enforce the new soft fork rules and URSF nodes that don&#39;t.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a way for users and miners to say: we&#39;re not going along with your soft fork, and we&#39;ll keep using the Bitcoin protocol as it was. 2026-02-27T13:41:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2wjwg9dg7pn66llc6n69tlmx03xegdzfrla2swnptkmmhmzfxdfgzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46gtffr36 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxky5pxy20qtgwk88wnm0ezwmuxj0czvnm3ya79nvezyues76xezspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdu7hhfme'>nevent1q…hfme</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Bitcoin Core developers have explicitly said users are free to run different software: <a href="https://bitcoincore.org/en/2025/06/06/relay-statement/">https://bitcoincore.org/en/2025/06/06/relay-statement/</a><br/><br/>What people like myself are sick of are the lies and deceptive rhetoric around all of this, and the toxic environment it creates.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/8efdfa24cd99d27503dcc1f4b90d64cf9e15a6d01c8c0ab64ae6efddd155ede1.jpg"> 2026-02-25T06:16:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9rat5vu77ettr9zhnqf53hu6l3yfx6nt7ekff8gxna2d6d5u0drqzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46g44ak94 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy2ucllhgrpkphl34730am2c87gcl5ghnugh58ke0nvdl8v05f6dg02ygs8'>nevent1q…ygs8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You didn&#39;t address <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsve2jcud7fnjzmchn4gq52wx9agey9uhfukv69dy0v4wpuw4w53nqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdch8xmmrd9skctcx2tqyx" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Peter Todd</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…tqyx</span>)</a></span>&#39;s point-- instead you just got triggered by the word &#34;censoring&#34;. <br/><br/> 2026-02-24T20:01:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxxuqfpxdz87s3yfn0wav6tmshee89tuq37pgzzvttfzk29ne8r2gzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46g8a9zm2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr79de86nrqaz69fwvrv32k8pyhywragcr5pt750nyc927j0kmh4spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduxmrsvx'>nevent1q…rsvx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Judging by all this recent drama — which they indeed rightfully ignored in favour of sound technical engineering -- it would probably be many of the current Core devs. 2026-02-21T15:39:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2r3jef2lehlm90whw7873w6xk0avgus07a677j758htj8wr24p6gzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46g5xkhxg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvm49q7fyfwvxm406f8m4jss2k8jrrwjfmcqdzpfzgu7s00mccw2spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdumwevak'>nevent1q…evak</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The day Bitcoin Core developers bend to the pressure of a misguided Twitter mob riled up by populist social media influencers, instead of merging code based on their best technical judgement, is the day the codebase should be forked to re-establish sound engineering practices. 2026-02-21T10:31:17Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs96fe6ll2ktqvw94qqaguphh0wn4vf0qlgd255yqx80c50wc6zeqqzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46glxkxna In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8c9ky5vgzjdmuqdaqjy9qakeu45enmstzppcpnnevwwzgfpfw5zcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdu6ygzae'>nevent1q…gzae</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What if I think the default is the best option? 2026-02-20T09:46:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfjlrpwxkhfh6g0np7gzwkgfdgu4rzn2gj7wvu02qsjyre9v8j7rqzyr5dvlzrtf99jvzwzs2zsr549mlp00jz2n72y7gkha3lnae72j46gnpfn2g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyq7jmjjmyqlam5pxnspkycygs3uzcx5m5apyy2fxs5ft5vz6cf3qprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvn5t008'>nevent1q…t008</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes most OG Bitcoiners are against arbitrary data storage on Bitcoin.
