I'm using an advent calendar that's similar to an old German one that my family had. The windows show life Before Screens.

Twitter / X has given up already despite Elon's alleged support for free speech. The new privacy policy includes: "we may need to remove not only illegal content but also content considered harmful or unsafe" "we may collect and share information to estimate or verify your age" I'm glad I removed all my content from YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitter. I'm already shut out of Vimeo and suspect YouTube and Twitter will soon follow. Thanks to Nostr and nostr.build for giving me a safe place for my content.
