Including the legs, this one is about 3 inches.

No sold my hux to buy the top went broke 2021 up till now

It’s easy to say from your point of view

We call them orb weavers around here, they are pretty common.

I find your surprise surprising. Who doesn't have a phone nowadays. You see illegal immigrants arrive with iphones. Why should homeless people not have a common smartphone.

Cmon it’s a phone beside Nothing can go wrong texting from cleaning the toilet 🚽

Well living on the street for the past 2 years is not easy but with you guys In few months I feel better than last year thinking wondering depressed 👀🫶

I think the journey is hell of a ride but it worth it at the end #Bitcoin

My feed is too quiet so who should I follow?

I think most of that, for most people, is cope. but if it works for you, great. This last bit is nonsense, unless maybe you are saying that OSS isn't built with the intent to enslave and addict, and arguably other code is.

I like OSS too, but I think its strength is in its contributor group and the diversity it represents, and not every OSS project has a large diverse contributor group. For something like an operating system, you would hope that would attract many contributors - but for simple tools, perhaps not.

The other thing about Open Source that I like is even more philosophical - in that I don't think intellectual property should be a thing. Thoughts and ideas should be freely shared, rather than hoarded and protected and hidden. But on the flipside, I think the opposite about physical property. And source code is somewhat there in the middle. It is an idea that has been implemented into something, and someone did work to produce that product. So I would say my mind on this aspect of open source isn't entirely made up at this point; I could be convinced to see this a different way.

At the end of the day, I think I want convenience and utility. These are tools, we expect them to do something for us to improve upon the experience of doing similar tasks without. Often OSS is not the best of these things. Linux is inconvenient in how long it takes to learn, set up to your liking, etc. Other OSS tools are developed to optimize a specific utility, while a more general closed-source tool has broader utility (more features). I've found this especially true with map software. There is a convenience to working with one software, or one software company, across a broad suite of tasks, instead of having separately developed and packaged tools for each use case. Like for my automotive repair, I tend to buy tools from one supplier, and perhaps in larger kits. I haven't acquired each socket and wrench independently, although I definitely have some specialty tools. I might start with Craftsman, or a store brand like Kobalt, and then specialize into DeWalt or Snap-On.

Corporate closed source software tends to have a lot of utility and convenience because they are looking to attract the broadest market of people, so they add value by adding features for everyone. OSS doesn't tend to do this, and rather focuses narrowly on features, because the incentive to sell to broad markets isn't there, in most cases.

Ultimately I don't need the best tool for each use case, just something that gets the job done easily enough with the least amount of bother, and unfortunately, OSS isn't really aligned with this, at least not today.

Well, let me clearify my point of view here.

#Open-source is first of all important to see if there are no malicious codes in there. Indeed, not everyone is going to read the code (altough there should be special programs DESIGNED for inspecting and sniffing trough code) but it is also about being able to proof IF a corporation is doing shady stuff. We cannot easily prepare on how to get privacy on microsoft windows because we don't know what is in it. If we have strong suspicions that microsoft is installing crap in windows, like an AI (cortana) that listens to you, we cannot prove that Microsoft is actually doing that, they can just deny it or ignore it. With FOSS #Linux, we can actually prove to everyone if something is happening, giving the users a stronger position.

Secondly, being able to set up a program or utility without having to go trough the repeating process of asking for a license, or asking for knowledge, is more efficient. We don't have to pay a corporation to access an app or service, if we can just scroll trough the open-source code itself and duplicate that. Advancements can be made faster, like setting up independend networks.

Third, it is just a moral decision that decentralizes the abilities and knowledge of anything. It is more transparant, it is free, it is innovation focused and if it goes rogue, we can fork it.

So is climbing, sprinting, bike intervals, rowing, skiing, basketball, and fucking.

Ugh. This feels like programming. When faced with a confusing and mentally taxing situation, we look to see if anyone else has solved it for us. And then, especially in the bitcoin/nostr world, I think we've been programmed to hope that the solution is open source, like any one of us is going to go and read the fucking code, or make changes to it. It's a virtue signal. If I say I want an open source solution to problem xyz, then the bitcoinbros will like me, and the nostrgirls will think I am a dev.

Dude, this really isn't personally aimed toward you, I promise. Just something that sparked a fucking short circuit in my brainwaves.

Fuck this. I hope someone has the solution, and kept it themselves, and wants me to pay for it, and doesn't want to share at all. Then I can tell them to fuck off, and go about my day figuring out my best path forward, which probably isn't a solution to my SMS problem, that I don't even have!

Exactly.

Cardio helps you not get so tired out so quickly when exerting energy. Highly useful in life.

GN #nostr, any of you guys using Wavlake? I noticed something a bit weird, only one of my tracks receives "boosts" (sats). I know, taste is random but yet, the others aren't that bad lol

#asknostr #wavlake #musicstr

Cardio isn't about losing weight.

Cardio is about increasing output.
