Poor isn't so bad in a world with a fair monetary system. At least it reduces the number of people who can screw you.

I use it constantly. The lastest version seems to work much better. I think the features most people will miss is automatically loading videos, audio and Youtube content. It's also hard to interpret the emojis, since they are all one color. Personally, I can live without all that.

What I would like to see is better loading of referenced notes from people I don't follow. Many times they just never load for me.

They've been only a few years away since at least the 90s. My guess is the tech will be ready shortly after fusion.

When the headline is a question, the answer is always 'No.'

Hate to burst your bubble, but PHP guys have been talking shit to the js plebs for *decades* at this point.

You didn't specify the term (length) of the mortgage or the interest. This is important because it effects amortization rates. For example, if you take out that ammount for 30 years at 6% (common in the U.S. right now) you will make over $215k in payments (excluding taxes and insurance), but only have $50k in equity. If you sell your house, you end up with the same $50k as the bitcoin holder. Whether you come out ahead on the deal will depend on the rent paid by the hodlr, as well as local taxes and insurance.

The real error here is assuming Bitcoin will only 5x in 10 years. Hitting $250k by the end of next year is my base case for BItcoin. There are a number of positive headwinds that could push it much higher. In 10 years, I will be verry supprised if it's less than $1,000,000. Of course, I also be supprised if your house was still worth $300k.

(I did everythin in dollars becausse there is no Euro symbol on my keyboard)

Here's a mortgage calculator you can play with:

HI've noticed on Threads, Bluesky, and even some apps here on Nostr that I’m shown a lot more content from people I’m not following. This is often due to reposts, quote posts, or just the algorithms at work. While this content can be engaging and spark conversations, it’s often not healthy.

I see people posting obviously or maybe obliviously wrong things, which then get corrected and boosted, creating a vicious cycle. For example, someone mentioned considering a hyphenated name for their kids. I shared how my hyphenated name caused issues with computers, especially with international travel. This led to many calling me a bigot because the original poster was a queer woman. It’s odd because I’m queer myself, but it seems they felt an amab queer shouldn’t share personal experiences directly related to the topic.

I also saw clickbait articles about triathletes vomiting at the end of an Olympic triathlon, blaming it on a polluted river. Yes, the river is polluted, but triathletes often throw up at the end of races, and the swim was two hours before the nausea hit.

These issues occurred on Twitter too, but I didn’t experience it the same way there. I used Twitter daily from the moment Jack invited me and our coworkers onto the service, and for me, the conversations were healthier. I understand that many others had negative experiences, though.

On Nostr, I see zaps often rewarding hot takes and posts that signal membership in one group or another. This seems to exacerbate the issue, as people are incentivized to make posts that cater to specific in-groups rather than fostering genuine dialogue.

My worry is that maybe we’re actually doing worse with the new platforms. Is this something other people are seeing? How do we navigate this and foster healthier online conversations?

Not everyone wants to use the Internet for 'healthy' or even productive conversations. For many, it's just entertainment. Not much you can do, other than being careful who you follow and muting people that are just too annoying.

Had to look that one up. Google says it translates as 'drunk hammering,' so I'm in.

Escape Meta Alt Control Shift? You can keep it. NANO for life, mutherfackers~!

It's okay. All of us free people know that rules are made to be broken :D

That's what happens when only the gentry can bear arms and ride horses. You don't have the right to defend yourself. If you did, you would be allowed to carry.

I vote for magnesium. It's light and in a pinch, you can cook by directly lighting your pan.

Agree.

I'd also like to point out that this applies more broadly. Having the goverment perpetrate 'charity' by force reduces the individual's ability to be charitable. It also tricks people into thinking they are being charitable by voting for the right people or simply paying their taxes. It effectively replaces charity with sloth. I'd call it evil, but I think mostly its just a missunderstanding.
