DD for Double Dose of Decentralization

It's literally been underperforming.

I'm rooting for Bitcoin, but to deny the obvious is irrational.

The run up to $100k was phenomenal, but a $2T asset isn't going to move like a it did when it was thousands of times smaller.

I read the paper. It only further reinforced my skepticism.

I don't want to take the time to write a detailed critique, but I think the first peer reviewer's opinions are on point:

https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41586-025-09526-6/MediaObjects/41586_2025_9526_MOESM2_ESM.pdf

The QC "calculations" are totally made up to justify the QC actually doing something beyond random noise. There is zero connection to any practical computation.

I can't believe how many people fall for this shit. It reads like a parody of Eric Weinstein's Theory of Everything. However, the commitment to the bit is impressive.

Can you provide a link that provides evidence that genuine quantum computing has happened?

Not press releases written by marketing departments, but something like scientific papers or live demonstrations.

I have to disagree. Gold and silver have been a reliable hedge against inflation as long as fiat has been a thing.

The spot prices are manipulated, but they're losing control as delivery is getting popular.

Palantir isn't even that scary. It's overhyped database consolidation and visualization software + on-site consultants.

They actually like the fearmongering and mystique, and lean into it, because it makes their services seem more powerful than they really are.

There's a reason Michael Burry bought 50k 2-year puts with a strike of $50.

The BTC chart looks extremely bullish when zoomed out.

I love wool clothing.

In the long run, solid human code will win.

I was referring to his magnum opus, The Prince.

Machiavelli's been unfairly characterized as a bad guy - he didn't advocate for evil. He was just an astute observer.

It's a reasonable spiel if you believe QC is an imminent threat.

I found the comparison to Y2K humorous, as Y2K turned out to be a nothingburger.

I propose that QC should be ignored until any lab can legitimately show "qbits" doing any real mathematical computation (without cheating).

Last time I checked, one claimed they could factor the number 15, but they cheated.

15 = 3 * 5 is a very long way from brute forcing SHA 256.

Is this original? It's very profound.

You explained the theory much more directly and concisely than most PhDs.

Unfortunately, there's a vast chasm between theory and practice and the research industrial complex may be corrupt.

Similar to CERN and QC, billions in funding has yielded zero practical utility.

In just the last five years, VCs have invested over $10B in magnetic/plasma fusion reactor research.

WOMEN-CENTERED #RIOT THREAD

This is a signal flare for women who carried weight quietly.

Mothers. Veterans. Builders. Survivors.

You don’t need permission to be here.

#Women #SignalNotNoise

We were taught to absorb.

Emotion. Labor. Blame.

And then apologize for needing rest.

That was never strength.

That was extraction.

#InvisibleLabor

Some of us wore uniforms.

Some of us carried families.

Some of us held communities together while systems failed.

Different fronts. Same war.

#WomenHoldTheLine

They told us to soften our voices.

Smile more.

Be grateful.

But gratitude without #justice is just silence with manners.

#NoMoreQuiet

Sovereignty isn’t domination.

It’s self-custody.

Of body.

Of time.

Of truth.

That’s why women understand Bitcoin faster than people expect.

#Bitcoin #SelfCustody

Open systems matter to women.

Because closed systems trap us first.

Nostr matters because no one edits our memory for us.

Say it once.

It stays said.

#Nostr #CensorshipResistance

You don’t have to be angry to be awake. Obviously 🙄 I am 🫂🙋🏻‍♀️

You don’t have to be gentle to be good.

You don’t have to shrink to be loved.

Those were lies meant to keep things easy for others.

#Unlearning

This isn’t about replacing men.

It’s about ending unearned authority.

Partnership requires equals.

Anything else is cosplay.

#Accountability

If you’ve ever felt “too much” for this world— Samesies & empathy 🫂

It might not be you. Fax 📠

It might be a low-integrity system allergic to clarity.

#WomenWhoSee

Stand where you are. Or sit 🧘🏻‍♀️

Say what you know.

Hold your ground without apology.

We don’t need permission to evolve.

We already survived.

#WomenRising #Sovereignty

Post Script: my vow was to humanity

Every sacrifice we make matters.

Eventually.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤💟🤍🩶🫶🏾🩵

RIOT = #Revolution in our timeline

Many modern women are struggling because most modern men have failed them, IMO.

Maybe huge zaps could pop up at the top of nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurpwfjhgmeww3hhwmsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5cfkclk like the live podcasts.

Then users can click it and see what all the fuss is all about.

It would Incentivize the zappers and the witnessing users to make fat zaps. Businesses and people trying to increase follower count could also leverage it for promotion.

*applies to any client, obviously

It's a cancer. Code is apolitical.

AI Summary:

The GNOME OS Team has publicly stated that Framework "supports Fascist and Racist s***heads" and that they "do not feel comfortable in further collaboration" with Framework. This strong condemnation is part of an escalating conflict involving the GNOME Foundation and Framework Computer. The GNOME Board has also reached out to other open-source groups who might be reconsidering working with Framework, inviting them to discuss the matter privately via Signal or Matrix.

This conflict seems to stem from Framework Computer's financial support and endorsements of certain open-source projects and individuals accused by GNOME and associated organizations of holding extremist far-right, racist, and transphobic views. GNOME has framed these associations as unacceptable, going as far as calling for the rejection of any donations from Framework and positioning themselves firmly against further collaboration. The GNOME Foundation appears to be organizing a collective response against Framework's involvement in the open-source community.

This dispute involves sharp personal and ideological accusations, with GNOME accusing Framework-associated parties of being fascists, racists, and white supremacists, and condemning their presence and funding in the open-source ecosystem. These tensions reflect broader cultural and political conflicts influencing some open-source communities today.

In summary, the GNOME OS Team and the GNOME Board have expressed explicit disapproval of Framework, accusing it of supporting extremist and racist individuals or groups, and are urging other open-source projects to reconsider their collaborations with Framework. They have called for a united stance against Framework's influence and funding in open-source development, signaling a significant rift between these communities.​

I disagree

Most V4V systems are ineffective. Nearly all incentive systems optimize for exploitation, racketeering and rent seeking.

They're making progress:

With people like Thiel onboard, it's got a chance.

Balaji's inspiration for the network state was Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism:

> (The State of the Jews), which was published February 1896 to immediate acclaim and controversy. The book argued that the Jewish people should leave Europe for Palestine, their historic homeland. The Jews possessed a nationality; all they were missing was a nation and a state of their own.[32] Only through a Jewish state could they avoid antisemitism, express their culture freely and practice their religion without hindrance.[32] Herzl's ideas spread rapidly throughout the Jewish world and attracted international attention.[33] Supporters of existing Zionist movements, such as the Hovevei Zion, immediately allied themselves with him, but he also encountered bitter opposition from members of the Orthodox community and those seeking to integrate in non-Jewish society.[34] His notorious article Mauschel, published just after the first Zionist Congress, depicted Jews who oppose Zionism as constituting a despicable type of Jew and has often been described as antisemitic.[35][36][37]

Propaganda is a great book

A must read for anyone in marketing

I have the original video from that angle and it's from much further away. It's probably an artifact from zooming/enhancing.

Pubky is legit

It's on another level compared to Nostr / Primal, IMO
