The Index controllers are great and should be compatible with your lighthouses. Also, the Varjo headsets look like a real upgrade. Also compatible.

The Bigscreen seems cool, but maybe it trades fov and refresh rate for that size and weight improvement.

It's the State that takes. Banks just comply.

Every possible image already exists as a jpeg inside of bitcoin's timechain. It all depends on how you decode it.

So many people complain about Apple and yet stillnuse their products. Apple will do Apple things as long as people use their products. Complaining won't change it.

Sides are a waste of space.

I'm starting to hear, "Look, I know bitcoin is in another class. I just like to gamble."

Why NIV all the time? I thought it was well known that it is not a good translation.

Don't walk around. Go to a show. Go to Tournament of Kings at Excalibur. It's fun, good show, family friendly, and they feed you well.

It's how it works. Broadcast the rules you agree with. If it gets added to the chain with the most accumulated proof of work, then it's bitcoin.

Also, career politicians who believe they are experts in everything.

The real cause of inflation is people willingly paying the 30% Apple tax.

Must be broken for me. I hear nothing. I thought it might have been a rebroadcast button.

What's the little play-circle icon I see on the top right of every post on Amethyst?

Salted Pork And "Meat"

Is there a nostr-based liquidity swap service yet?

Some clients let you see bytes transmitted by relay. Not a perfect indicator, but zero bytes transmitted could indicate a need to renew.

What if your purpose is to ensure your grandchildren will have enough money?

Was just moved to the front of a long line because I was paying in cash. What kind of treatment should someone get for paying in bitcoin?

Can it introspect like this? I wouldn't think so unless it was trained on graph images of its own model.

Eligius was a good name. Ocean is a good name too.

In 1999, the web worked very well with servers hosted from people's basement. I think if you got a start there, evolving your server infrastructure over time in a financially sustainable way was possible. Now the web demands speed and availability. It seems like nostr relays are especially demanding for speed. Residential ISPs have made it difficult to run personal servers in-house, but perhaps taking a free relay straight to cloud infra is the expensive and unsustainable path.

Do you really need to be following people posting like that?

But I clicked the link and they wouldn't accept lightning.

Global machine pub/sub seems interesting. Transaction/psbt signing coordination is developing. Shortwave was the old way to get a message heard across the globe. Now it's machine readable via internet.

Why weren't people doing it before nostr? Well, the network of relays is important. I think nostr makes it easier by boiling it down to signed and broadcasted messages. There may have been ways to use email or some other relay network to accomplish the same thing, but maybe not so simply.
