and it's sunny again

that's it for today's noise :sleepy:

nyaaaa.....

how would you price an apple without looking at the USD price of Bitcoin?

I can't wait to try my Pixel out on graphene OS. What apps should I use? Anything I should know about before switching?

The current quantum threat to Bitcoin is the new state attack.

XMR is truly decentralized.

- No PR person

- No one to pay influencers, media or add agencies.

- No one holding a majority.

- No one funding or holding the control.

- No one to show you the amazing performance of XMR.

- No one to give you an easy on-ramp.

Monero is for the DYOR guy/girl, who do not fall for flatter, media and hype. But, wants concrete evidence and basic principles checked, before committing anything.

The only new adoption to XMR is your P2P marketing effort as a community member.

woke up to the pond overflowing

OVER the dam. its not supposed to do that.

been digging a drainage trench in the rain for a couple hours now.

What pisses me off is how normal people don't get pissed off by this

You'll own nothing and be happy

My whole life winter was my favorite season... Until I moved somewhere with a "real" winter. As much as I hate summer, I think I need to move back somewhere warmer 🥶

They're doing this to me at work tomorrow

I don’t know what to do chat.

My current job doesn’t pay enough to make it worth working there but we’re going head long deep into potentially the worst depression ever.

If anyone knows the Meta please let me know because I’m getting my ass kicked on everything.

I suspect the cutting down in RAM and now GPU production we've been seeing is not to make gaming more expensive. If anything they wish to make gaming cheaper to sate the masses. No, to me they want to make running local LLMs cost prohibitive. If they can siphon all LLM usage to controlled centralized entities, the deeply personal data they extract can be identified to you with certainty.

If you talk to an LLM in even a short amount of time with no mind to the privacy implications, it's not a stretch to say that these models can accurately predict your thoughts, feelings, tastes, manner of speech etc. They can know you better than your own mother or spouse.

Private LLM usage is their enemy. I would easily expect for them to crack down on it from all fronts.

Yes, spam is waste and spam is already huge problem.

I meant that Slopp, like the compromised Core devs (seen in Matt's video) first said UTXO bloat is a problem and now are saying its not a problem.

They are completely dishonest and they support spam on Bitcoin.

Power been off all morning, might have to toss everything from the fridge /ᐠ - ˕ -マ

yesterday I setup an anonymous esim on my secondary Graphene phone in about 15 minutes

Hello I am here now

I need to let all of you my Nostr friends know something.

New pfp, no more clippy

Test post from monstr apk

I feel like albums should be minimum 10 songs. I ran out of creative energy after like 7 and I promised I'd release a new album by a certain deadline so 1.5 came to be

There's two elements

1. The legal practice now

Elon is able to avoid taxes since a notable percent of his wealth is in a Roth IRA, which isn't applicable to tax, and then Tesla stocks he has in a Brokerage account he borrows against using Collateralized loans, so legally he's in debt, he doesn't have any income.

He's only hypothetically worth that, not worth that in actual liquid value.

2. The theoritical problems

Let's assume the government decided to increase his tax burden, as we saw with California, he moved from California (A High Tax State) to Texas (A Low Tax State) increasing his taxes would result in a few different things.

1. He has to sell off company assets, like rockets, metal, robotics, etc. which would reduce the productive capacity of his business.

2. He would have to sell off his tesla shares which would devalue his company, and hurt investors eventually leading to less investment.

3. He would have to use the company profits which usually are reinvested into the company as R&D, employees wages, materials, etc. which would prevent the company from growing, and that's assuming the government was nice enough to let him use corporate profits to pay for his personal, and corporate taxes.

4. The Tax Burden would cause him to leave to a lower tax country like Switzerland, Ireland, etc., or to any country that gave him a favorable deal, in exchange for taxes.

Effectively taxes go from value producers to value parasites.

If you want the wealth of the economy to grow then reduction of taxes generally helps overall, as it allows individuals to do what they want with their own money.

The whole thing, or the "as above, so below" part?

Exactly
