I prefer it to be be unedited. I listen at 1.5-2x speed (depending on the speaker) so I barely notice pauses anyway.

This is the correct take. Too bad most Apple users probably won't...

The fiat world's response to everything is to try to control it without appreciating the natural mechanisms already in place and how those already create a natural balance.

Just as with the economy, as with governance, as with the industrial food system, distorting the system's signals may seem to work for a time, but it will always result in a systemic collapse.

Apple has finally found a way to make the switching costs lower than the cost of staying in their ecosystem.

A decade ago I was willing to pay that cost to get out of their closed system. Hopefully people will be willing to pay the cost now.

I'm ok, don't need it.

I may have to check out nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en 👀

They mean business. Proof of reserves, security, bitcoin only, now exploring other options with interest on cash paid in bitcoin.

Very cool. Competition is heating up!

River is very cool, I use it for DCA. You can set up auto-withdrawels to an external wallet and just forget about it as you accumulate Bitcoin!

Prediction 1: the Dead Internet Theory will prove to be true... on the old internet as AI bots and centralized/government control stifles it's usability.

Prediction 2: Nostr will be (and already is in the beginning stages of being) the new, living internet where users will be drawn as they reclaim their attention, their data, and even their economic livelihoods with #Nostr and #Bitcoin.

#asknostr how far away are we from customizable and/or DIY smartphones? Is it just regulatory hurdles blocking this from being a thing, or are there big technical challenges as well?

Democracy will always eventually trend toward pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Yep, I toured the Kent, WA facility multiple times when I was in college, and it was the same. It's obvious that some amount of work has been and is being done there, but it's too clean and no sense of urgency. I was excited about the New Glenn when they first released the Payload User's Guide, but then it just never led to anything. In a competitive environment that's usually a sign of failure to roll out a successful product.

He does, and seems pretty well tied into the existing space-industrial-complex. I think he's really there to be a champion for the legacy system to compete with Musk.

Don't get me wrong Musk is also part of the cartel, but he has a different philosophy and different goals than the previously established players and has caused them major embarrassment with his success.

I'm surprised Blue Origin is still in the picture with how long they're taking STILL to roll out the New Glenn rocket.

#asknostr I'm aware of nostr:npub1h0rnetjp2qka44ayzyjcdh90gs3gzrtq4f94033heng6w34s0pzq2yfv0g (https://www.hornet.storage/), which I'm excited about, but I have an immediate term need for cloud-based file storage. Google and Microsoft make me wanna puke, and I'd prefer to go open source.

What currently available open source solutions do folks recommend around here?

I think it would be worth teaching out to the guy who made the mineral balancing page I linked to, since he's been aggregation this info.

It'd be cool if we could get him posting on Nostr!

Thanks! Do I need to scan a QR, or should I watch for an invite?
