One thing I miss on Nostr is that, under a post like this on Twitter, I could see some confused normies asking questions, some die hard idiots denying obvious reality. It gave me a reasonable pulse on what the rest of the world is thinking. I would also try to answer the honest questions with some learning material, and troll the idiots.
Sometimes it's too much an echo chamber here :-/
Where is this?
What do you mean by ethereal? Dictionary definition is other worldly. Energy isn't other worldly. It's a precise physical thing, that is well understood and clearly defined. Which is why it can be measured.
Energy isn't an ethereal thing. It is something you can measure very precisely.
My paranoia says the gov simping is enabling the govt to actually pull off a Bitcoin 6102 event in the future.
If you custody with a 3rd party, the state can focus their efforts on the custodians, and since the custodians are businesses, they would have documentation showing exactly how much they hold. Whereas individuals holding self-custodially is different, since unlike gold, Bitcoin is a digital asset, and much simpler to hide.
When it comes to using, the individual can always exchange P2P. Granted, in that case buying a house with Bitcoin would be difficult, but buying a used car or other services would be simple enough.
How do you know it's btrfs causing the slowdown? I've been using it as my primary filesystem for years (basically since it became default on Fedora), never noticed a slowdown.
I've had other issues though, it's incredibly complex to recover when faults happen. Also, not having a feature complete fsck after all these years is bonkers!
Maybe my comment below will give you a more interesting aspect to think about 🤔
I find the obsession to push for a govt held Bitcoin reserve quite dangerous. We are early on in adoption that if a prominent state like the US starts building a reserve, they can get a significant portion of the 21M coins.
The difference with other holders is, the state continues to be the only one with an exclusive license to use violence.
Since the general trend for larger private entities is to custody their coins with a third party, this puts a significant portion of the supply under a 6102 style confiscation risk. Existence of a significant reserve gives the state motivation to go through with it.
I would rather see Bitcoin remain black market money forever instead of price appreciation by losing the freedom money features.
Much cheaper than a laptop, and quite versatile, not just a console ;-)
#FOSDEM folks couldn't get enough and had lots of questions and interest. Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs9afryspzmk8ljyfj4mhfkumwwmhzrtyxzvzgvfp477w80g5x6t0gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9ugrlzw0 for your excellent talk and support 💜
Great talk indeed! Something I noticed among the questions, people were expecting zero responsibility from the user.
E.g. expecting the relay to be singe source of truth for their data, instead of realising you should always backup your data, so that you have the option to move; same with the questions about keys.
If you are on Linux, you can get offline subtitles for any audio on your desktop with this: https://flathub.org/apps/net.sapples.LiveCaptions
Works quite well, except music.
Dark mode on #olas seems to be not quite there yet. Any input text is still in black, so can't see what I'm typing.
I can't see all my picture albums from #olas, only Camera, Videos, Screenshots, and Downloads. What gives?
I wanted to share an old pic I'm rather proud of capturing that's in a separate folder. Within the Android filesystem, it's under 'DCIM' (at the same level as 'Camera').
There are also other folders with images, they aren't showing up either. I can see all these folders from every other application (including the default Gallery app).
Any thoughts?

I think this needs a dedicated bulk operations API.
Did you just chatgpt me!?
Well, either way, didn't help. Tried all that just now, the image does get into this special mode, where only that image is "selected", but I still can't pinch zoom.
How do you zoom on the pictures in #olas? I tried tapping and pinch zooming, no bueno :-|

I tried to install Ubuntu on it but had no speech for some reason, so I've stuck with what it came with.
Pi OS has the broadest hardware support on a Pi, for obvious reasons of course. Other distros generally catch up in half a year.
