Private 1 sat #zaps with encrypted Cashu tokens inside is a thing now 👀.

Only the sender and receiver will know who send it and can decrypt the token to redeem it.

What is PWA?

There are a lot of suggestions to switch to Graphene right now. I tried Graphene twice for weeks at a time on a Pixel 6 Pro. Here are my observations/thoughts.

* None of my banking apps worked.

* Ended up using Google anyways for maps because the "free" alternatives took me miles out of the way or had no clue where things were.

* I never got the full zoom capabilities of my phone's camera to work, despite installing - you guessed it - Google's camera app.

* Swipe to type might as well have been non-existent.

* RCS never activated despite days of trying - oh, and that required installing Google Messages. Most people in the US still use text.

* There feels like a dearth of FOSS photo galleries with competitive editing features. I ended up installing.... Google Photos.

* Backing stuff up automatically... you going to also self-host NextCloud? Are you going to set up SyncThing? This is not a simple software swap - it requires a whole lifestyle.

I'm a software engineer and competent with Linux, etc... and I felt like I had reduced a $800 phone to the equivalent of something I could buy on prepaid for $150.

I'm sure there was a way to "fix" it - but that's the point. I do this for a living, and I don't have time to fix it. My phone has to work. Period.

You guys realize that basically *nobody* outside of this small echo chamber is willing to deal with that right?

I don't even hate the project - I follow several of the developers and they're fucking *awesome human beings* doing amazing work. Essential work that is needed and used by probably 10's or even 100's of thousands of people with high threat profiles. But almost nobody is going to do this unless they have significant other factors contributing to their threat profile, or they're nerds like us who are willing to tinker for hours to get less than what they get by pulling a stock phone out of a box.

The year of the Graphene Phone will happen at the same exact time the year of the Linux Desktop happens. When it just works. 99% of the time. With no sacrifices in feature set or performance.

Anywhere people can go to buy without KYC?

How do you work?

Personally, I usually work in bursts of 20 mins to 1 hour with many breaks. Sometimes when I’m in the zone I can go 4-6 hours without a break or noticing how much time has gone by. That’s usually the day where I design 80% (crappy first run) version of an app.

Let's start a show me your coffee Saturday!

(Mine is in the making, give me 2 mins)

Did my first stream. No idea if anyone watched past a few mins 😂 mostly talking to myself. Explored the highlighter app UX with some rough ugly UI.

F around and made flyers out to make it easier to orange pill locals🫡

Feel free to use this template for your local meetups. You just need to change the front page logo and QR codes!

P.S.Thanks to Anita Posch for the draft and Chicagoan Plebs for helping me out to tweak it.

Mom and baby Atlas are in great shape. Labour was really good and the mom was incredible. It was literally three pushes and he was out.

this movie was incredibly good; a bit tarantinesque
