I have a Samsung chromebook that I got as a "gift" when I bought my Galaxy S9+. It has always been the stupidest computer I've ever owned, until this week when I spent some time and replaced its operating system with latest version of Lubuntu.

It's a very limited computer, but after installing #emacs and #algia, it has become a no-distraction #nostr typing machine that I simply love to use. I'm even thinking about buying a mechanical keyboard to plug into it and fix the unreliable space-bar.

I'm 1/3 of the way through Huckleberry Finn and this is such a good #book. I think I was missing a good adventure since my read of Solomon Kane. Isaac Asimov was disappointing and the more I read #Huckleberry, the more I understand why is it a classic of American literature.

idk about that. I'm pretty sure I saw the "rain" thing once.

And I always thought it was 70% 🤔

It's annoying to talk to someone who seems to be just trying to correspond to whatever you're saying instead of honestly thinking about it. It's like talking to one of those LLMs that will agree with anything you say or will use someone else's opinion to disagree.

"Would you mind taking that smile off your face, turn off the little alien behind it (yes, MIB), and saying something that you truly believe in?"

I've been working with some large data processing software for the past few years (things like high volume of text analysis and other stuff). I might be able to put kafka, neo4j, and spark to work for nostr someday.

This is a test publishing from a new computer using algia. The interface is now fairly clean and I should be able to spit out some thoughts with ease.

I'm not sure that will work, but I've been liking nostr the more I use it. Hard to think it will become a giant like the other platforms with their "for you" algos, but I feel more connected to real people here.

Oh, just found something: https://river.com/learn/why-should-i-run-a-bitcoin-node/#:~:text=Key%20Takeaways,the%20robustness%20of%20the%20network.

Também estou tentando dar uma limpada nos meus. Mas a manutenção deles em vários clientes é entendiante.

Definitely. Do you what are those crops of?

The Aesthetic City dropped another video yesterday: https://youtu.be/syQMTZyzqcg?si=GBoPiA_iVrLxvwUx, everyone here should check that out #architecture

Running one's own #bitcoin node for the sake of not relying on someone else's computer doesn't seem to be enough incentive for normies to give up 1Tb storage and leave a computer running indefinitely.

Eventually, people will accept bitcoin only because they know someone who wants it and that they can redeem the social contract that bitcoin represents (as money); not because they are sold on the whole cypherpunk philosophy.

I might not trust a single person's computer; but it's hard to doubt the whole network one's connected to.

So, am I missing something, or will our ever-growing chain, coupled with general public's unwillingness to run their own node, slowly lead us to node centralization? Will the cypherpunks always carry the burden of running the majority of the nodes to prevent it from being attacked?

I bet @npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc or @npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev have something written or read-over it. Could you share?

#Tron Legacy is such an underrated #movie. The soundtrack is absurdly good, the visuals are stunning and the whole storyline immerses us so deeply into its world that the movie pops into my head here and there when (and mainly) I'm afk.

The creators did a great job. It is noticeable that they treated it with care and respect.

Eu achava que o único USDT que existia era Tether, o destino final é comprar BTC mas não vejo ninguém negociando DePix nas plataformas p2p.

Assholes everywhere. Keep it weird nostr:nprofile1qqszzv6swdqp5vgveytelca806txvugvlhmrph7cgruh9svr5fztrtgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsv5d2av, your presence is very much appreciated.

Sabe algum jeito sem kyc?

Como vocês fazem pra comprar USDT?

I'm constantly fighting against leaving stuff on my desk. It is constantly filled up with stuff what I "might need" or used 3 days ago and will not use again for a week.

How y'all keep it organized around you? Everyday effort or you embrace the chaos?

Finder on Mac is an application that tries to have its own personality and ends up just being more annoying than the old Windows Clip.

EULAs are stupid.
