Top left corner profile icon -> Settings -> Zaps to change the default.

Simple tap of the zap button on a note uses the default. Long press the zap button on a note to bring up the custom zap dialog.

This is funny because it uses their dogmas against them.

I personally believe a comet is responsible for the extinction of the megafauna he is referring to, and I don’t believe the Bering land bridge BS.

But they would mock you for holding unscientific opinions if you questioned their preferred explanations without realizing what they are then saying.

What is the debt ceiling?

I’ve never used it, but it always boggles my mind to see otherwise anti-shitcoiner bitcoiners embrace Fold.

Based on my limited understanding, It’s a cash back credit card bolted onto a casino that acts as a honeypot for bitcoiner KYC/spending data.

I’ve never understood why it gets a pass from normally skeptical people.

You are the yield. Or, in the case of Fold, you are the spins.

I’ve had to turn it back on about 4 times today so I suspect it’s still having a few issues.

I wish this existed:

Having access to AI that will happily generate an image representing your random public brain farts is a fascinating experience.

I’ve always wished I knew an artist who could create digital art quickly for random ideas but there is no way that could scale to what AI is capable of. But the limitations of the AI makes me appreciate what really talented artists are capable of.

Easy access to a shitty AI artist makes me crave having access to a talented human artist even more.

It’s great to see the purple pill leading to the orange pill. Freedom will win in the long run!

I wish individual Europeans didn’t have to suffer in the process, but I am thankful that Europe plays the role of canary in the coal mine. It would be so much harder to convince Americans of the dangers if the Europeans weren’t so eager to demonstrate just how unhinged the western “elites” really are.

Spending any amount of your money without being tracked makes you a threat to the regime. It’s not just a conspiracy theory when an entire continent of 500M people enacts legislation saying exactly that.

$65K/year and bought a G-Wagon. 🤦‍♂️

Does your client support it? I’m on Damus TestFlight so it completely removes the like button for me when I turn it on.

OnlyZaps engaged!!!

Think I finally found some land to buy. LFG!

Ordinals imploded under the weight of their own stupidity and the mempool cleared. Imagine that.

The UK is talking about confiscating kitchen knives.

The pearl clutchers have never been very good at identifying risk.

Auto financing has started to feel the shockwaves of higher rates and tighter lending standards.

It will be interesting to watch how this spreads through the market.

The Internet assumed Dave Ramsey was freaking out at the beginning of the pandemic because his cruise got canceled. But he was facing the reality that his over exposure to the real estate market was about to seriously screw him.

If he was smart, he sold the high. But he’s always been a degenerate real estate investor so I seriously doubt he did.

I see ChatGPT as a 10x Google. It understands context much better than Google (or other search engines) and can give you pointers to that context that would take you much longer to find digging through search engine results. Especially in the SEO spammed world we currently live in.

But the writing ChatGPT produces is pretty pathetic and easy to spot in my experience. In its current state it feels like an excellent research assistant, but I’d never trust or use its output directly for anything I care about.

On Windows the bitcoin.conf file is located in the %APPDATA%\Bitcoin directory.

To change to a full node try this:

1) Stop the Bitcoin node software.

2) Locate your bitcoin.conf configuration file, typically found in the Bitcoin data directory.

3) Edit the bitcoin.conf file and either remove the prune configuration line or set it to prune=0.

4) Save the changes and restart your Bitcoin node software.

Yes, buy paper gold with counterparty risk. I’m sure that’s perfectly safe.

I’m personally happy to see the communists in the west lose the power to cut off access to the financial system of anyone who disagrees with them.

But people are going to quickly wake up to the risks of trusting the communists in the east.

If only there was a bearer asset with no counterparty risk that you could purchase and transmit digitally to anywhere on the planet. That could really help reduce the risks of trading with potentially adversarial trading partners.
