I think it highlights that benign wholesomeness is practically subversive at this point.

I dont know why I laughed harder when I finally figured out that this was from The Smowman.

Hey guys. It me.

Mint discovery appears broken. Reverting to previous release works. https://video.nostr.build/496eb4b50e237dac4ce1e231d9ba1624af4bb9be276fb3f144e428576a7a8049.mp4

Someone's gotta clean the telephones. You don't wanna know what happens when the telephones aren't clean.

If my brain could wear pants, it'd be pooping its brain-pants right now.

TIL Brave has an f-droid repo. Which is nice, because the github releases do not appear to work with Obtanium easily.

People who conflate answering to no-one and being an asshole are deeply hurt and should be avoided.

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT NONE OF YOU LIKE ME AND THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I LIKE IT. I COME TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO BE HATED AND IMMOLATEY PERSONAL BRAND. EVERYTHING IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN.

Imminent. Man that's one of those words I'm never gonna word correctly.

Thank God Nic Carter weighted in on the immanent threat of quantum.

I dont think we'd know for certain that it was some bullshit otherwise.

Days like today make not going crazy feel like I actually did something.

Most people reserve for a select few the sort of impatient condescension that Lopp lays on the community with a trowel. Same energy as Peter Todd. Oh well, that's them.

Did? Or did not?

Cupcake, go find a Blocksize War veteran, buy them a beer, sit a spell, and let them spin a yarn for ye.

It's hilarious to think about all the people a year ago who thought bitcoin was about sitting back and getting rich. Now it's Chicken Little time for them, and they can't decide whether to shit or go blind about spam and quantum.

Pornstache's star is rising

Let's all panic about quantum, because Panicky McPanicson is a Very Smart Boy

It's all insane. At this point Q-Day is a faith-based doomsday cult. The implications of a QR signature scheme means that every non-institutional player in bitcoin is going to be long marched onto a layer 2 reservation, relegated to NPC status.

Making coins un-spendable requires a restriction on consensus, requiring only a succesful soft fork.

360's a soft fork.

I dont think a lot of people understand what a massive payday for miners a panicked migration to QR signatures would be. QR signatures are massive. Block space after these forks would be like 10-50x more scarce.

Wow uh

KT all started when my mom rewarded me with M&M's for doing my chores...

Just finished Frankenstein. It is probably one of my favorites.

Victor Frankenstein is a fragile ponce whose every sensitivity is attended to by people in his orbit of privilege. He carelessly creates a monster who sees, with crystal clarity, the insouciance that carries Victor from one blameless act to the next. And the monster offers only judgement and no pity.

I think the big table debate is currently about what a "real threat" means and what our time tables are. Obviously, you have the clout-chasers and the VC's with venal interests, but beyond that, there is a discussion of how many years we have.

In the past 12 hours, I have seen three non-scientist takes on science as an institution, peer review, and retrospective studies from people who basically talk about bitcoin for a living.

TIL somehow Primal is worse than Mastodon. How do you people live?

Find the terminal app. Learn what the computer is for. Don't become beholden to it or believe that the GUI doesn't have its purpose. But cleave yourself to the console experience. Become a mindful user.

My understanding is the taxable event is triggered at liquidation of the collateral. That is when a sale is recorded.

Most of the time, you have to go to a lot of effort to configure a tiling WM to bring back the thin sliver of conveniences that a non-tiling desktop experience provides.

Omarchy worked backwards from the completed experience, and allows you to have to configure a lot less. It's just basically a bunch of logical opinions that is a lot less config work to tweak or remove an opinion you dont agree with.

Jesus Grifting Christ can't they just make products people are asking for?

Please give me fact-checked claims about Brigitte Macron so I can destroy the enemies of all things decent.

Isn't their thing allegedly reducing the codebase?

Oh wow. Spark enabled wallets, like Wallet of Satoshi, are a privacy nightmare.

We keep going backwards for the sake of easy UX.

I kind of get it. It's like a callback to the aesthetics of goofy serial TV plays (like Flash Gordon) that Lucas worked into the original Star Wars movies (wipe transitions, rolling text exposition, gratuitous amounts of swashbuckling, etc...)
