Built my new PC with an AMD 8600G and 48GB RAM. Man! The thing is so much faster than my laptop! 😂 sporting Xubuntu, for now. What's your favorite distro?

Also, video editor for Linux? I thought I saw capcut had a version for Linux, but apparently not. Looking into shotcut.

Stalk Market has received our first #Bitcoin "seeds"! 🌱

We have the first investor in the Stalk Market - where the coin is corn 🌽, our steakholders are bullish 🐮, and the stalks just keep growin' up 🌾

This initial investor has seeded the Stalk Market with 11m sats, which will be "planted" in the community at Yellow Barn Farm in Colorado to familiarize the team and farmers with Bitcoin.

🚜

We are the stalk brokers that help people make good investments into a diverse portfolio of Soil Stewards, who holistically manage land, bring soil back to life, and feed people whole & nutrient-dense foods.

This isn't a get rich quick scheme. This is an investment for the future. It requires long-term vision, able to see the value of seeds now and be patient for the abundance to come.

And the Stalk Market will help ensure investors receive healthy divends of that harvest, or that your gifts can be given back to people who can't afford yet still deserve high-quality food.

🌱

Food should be free.

Food is a basic human right.

Food is to be in service to the land.

Food is a service.

Farming is a service.

Farming-as-a-Service.

Refocus the attention and the resource towards the SERVICE (not product) of good stewardship of the land. And the food is a gift that can be given away.

A gift.

Not taxed. Not monopolized. Not patented and owned. Not manufactured. Not modified.

Whole. Holistic. Integrated. Accessible. Abundant.

A Gift.

💧

Anyone can support this mission, from anywhere in the world.

If you want to help us sprout and grow, follow and zap us on Nostr. We'll plant the seeds for you 🌾

HI've noticed on Threads, Bluesky, and even some apps here on Nostr that I’m shown a lot more content from people I’m not following. This is often due to reposts, quote posts, or just the algorithms at work. While this content can be engaging and spark conversations, it’s often not healthy.

I see people posting obviously or maybe obliviously wrong things, which then get corrected and boosted, creating a vicious cycle. For example, someone mentioned considering a hyphenated name for their kids. I shared how my hyphenated name caused issues with computers, especially with international travel. This led to many calling me a bigot because the original poster was a queer woman. It’s odd because I’m queer myself, but it seems they felt an amab queer shouldn’t share personal experiences directly related to the topic.

I also saw clickbait articles about triathletes vomiting at the end of an Olympic triathlon, blaming it on a polluted river. Yes, the river is polluted, but triathletes often throw up at the end of races, and the swim was two hours before the nausea hit.

These issues occurred on Twitter too, but I didn’t experience it the same way there. I used Twitter daily from the moment Jack invited me and our coworkers onto the service, and for me, the conversations were healthier. I understand that many others had negative experiences, though.

On Nostr, I see zaps often rewarding hot takes and posts that signal membership in one group or another. This seems to exacerbate the issue, as people are incentivized to make posts that cater to specific in-groups rather than fostering genuine dialogue.

My worry is that maybe we’re actually doing worse with the new platforms. Is this something other people are seeing? How do we navigate this and foster healthier online conversations?

It is both.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but its a ready to use easy to install grandma Linux distro. If someone is an IT cyber security expert nerds would expect an OS like qubes, Debian or arch.

Europe's contribution to #Bitcoin is often underestimated. The attached table shows the distribution of public nodes across the globe. Given the population difference between the EU and Asia, and the rest of the world, the EU's contribution is significantly higher, especially compared to Asia.

Of course, these are all reachable public nodes, and the number of private nodes is significantly higher. Some estimates indicate that private nodes exceed 100,000. Regardless, the EU's contribution from the public nodes' sample size is still very significant.

For example, Germany alone hosts 6,000 public nodes, representing 15% of all reachable public nodes. In Frankfurt alone, there are around 700 public nodes up and running 24/7. Another example in the EU region is Helsinki, Finland, which hosts around 600 public nodes.

To put these numbers in perspective, the number of public nodes in all of China is around 3,000, half the size of Germany's public nodes. This stark difference is notable given the population disparity.

In conclusion, the data highlights the EU's pivotal role in supporting Bitcoin's infrastructure through a substantial number of public nodes. This significant contribution not only showcases the region's enthusiasm for Bitcoin but also underscores the importance of decentralized participation in the global Bitcoin network.

Because he understands nothing about Bitcoin, which was extremely apparent in his speech. Bitcoin magazine, the Bitcoin conference, and Trump are all parasitic or masquerading entities. Luckily this doesn't matter.

Yes. SO MUCH better with a communist in power. Clown.🤡

Good news. But we must keep in mind that the government can still outsource financial censorship to the banks - similar to the censorship it is already outsourcing to social media companies.

Rambling.

I am not quite sure I subscribe to this... The Trump crowd in my experience is quite more self-govern, entrepreneur, assembly of the people by the people for the people oriented. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That's a pretty good psychographic in my opinion that may have an open mind for #bitcoin adoption.
