The XFCE spin

Does Electrum's Lightning implementation require you to stay online all the time? I'm mostly interested in paying once in a while. Would be great if the UX is something similar to Phoenix.

I liked the music you posted :)

I would say post whatever you fancy with proper tags, and everyone can sort out their preferences client side.

It's anticheats that are holding it back. I don't think that's likely to happen any time soon.

Aren't we using the TEXT field in DNS records for lightning addresses?

Are you deliberately trying not to understand? You clearly understand p2p technology, nostr:nprofile1qqsxr0mepvsfftasxj2uncfk4nmpt0s0enpvh9d44na47mxwlcvtqcspzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpr9mhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmd9uq3camnwvaz7tmvdank2m3wvf6xxen0wfcxcetzwvhxxmmd9uzcum05 gave you a clear breakdown of what might be causing the differences, and yet you continue to repeat yourself without considering the points.

My only charitable take here is that you are not aware that Nostr is p2p, in that case have a read here: https://nostr.org/. Even after understanding that if you expect Nostr to be exactly like Twitter or whatever else, it's really not for you.

FWIW, I'll give you a follow because I generally liked when I saw your posts on Twitter.

Huh!? What security concerns? The whole F-Droid pipeline is open source and verifiable. Either there's a vulnerability that's been discovered and is being worked on, or whoever is making these claims are fear mongering for some other reason.

Welcome!

You could also use F-Droid, specially along with some of the alternative repos like IzzyOnDroid and Guardian project, it's pretty much big tech free. I've been on @GrapheneOS for couple of months now, good stuff!

Cool, I'll try that next time :)

It doesn't conform to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, and that leads to issues with other external tools. Recently I had an issue with pip installing a library in a virtual environment that links to compiled platform libraries. It broke because the libraries weren't in the usual paths.

I need some of this wisdom, would you mind sharing a bit more?

Not to mention the irony of calling it "Secrecy Act" when it's actually about monitoring 🤷

Switched to nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q4gnztg recently, most things just work (including all my banking apps, from multiple countries!). You realise the things that you miss are Google services! E.g. contacts sync, maps, etc.

OSM based apps like OSMAnd~ are good, but coverage may not be uniform. Also I found search sometimes breaks because the data is slightly different. E.g. recently I couldn't find a cafe on OSM because the OSM entry did not have "cafe" in it, and I was searching for "cafe name".

Also sharing location links are a bit more tedious, because now you have to convert to GMaps links for the recipient to open it in their maps app.

And I don't like the default keyboard. So I've been using the Futo keyboard, which is mostly fine.

Ah didn't realise biometric passports are mandatory. It still doesn't seem to work for kids though.

Schiphol's security checking is probably among the smoothest currently. It had gone down soon after COVID, took about a year or so to recover.

The immigration experience is pretty bad though, there are fewer and fewer booths with staff, and longer queues. Of course if you are EU citizen, and willing to hand over biometric data, the automatic gates seem efficient. Although, doesn't seem to work for people traveling with kids.

Are you learning new things with AI in completely new domains, or still within your domain? If you are within your domain, you still have your experience to filter out the inaccuracies. Try with something very different.

Just couple of days ago I spotted a significant but subtle error in a somewhat straightforward summarisation task I was trying with Llama. It could have easily slipped past me if I were not careful.

The problem is more often than not these bots spit out hallucinations mixed with facts. It takes experience to spot the useful bits.

Also, using these tools early on also means you actually never learn to do it correctly. How are you going to spot mistakes, or debug? I think these tools should be used *after* gaining some experience.

Maybe include a public key in the downloadable attachments to the paper, and then use the corresponding private key to broadcast such a #nacklist on #nostr?

Is it possible to hide a public key in plain sight in the paper? That would be even cooler!?

So cool!
