SMH. Do they even try to defend this random act of centralization somewhere?
Rest in Peace Samuele Landi: Pioneer on the Indian Ocean Seastead, now at the bottom of the sea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwqQDaV188k
Tragic, horrible news, everyone.
The most daring seasteading venture to date now lies at the bottom of the Indian Ocean with it's owner, Samuele Landi, and two others lost to the sea, presumed dead. According to Oswald, the documentarian we have spoken with here on this board before, a massive storm on Feb 2nd split the barge in two parts and submerged it, taking 3 lives including Landi's with it.
Oswald has already made this mini-doc addressing it:

Samuele will be remembered as a seasteading pioneer, and hopefully serve as a seassteader's cautionary tale for us to use overcome, not shy away from, building on the open sea. Rest in peace, friend.
What kind of woke-ass, blue-haired, liberal lefty morons do you take us for?
So sorry for your loss. I have a much younger pooch that I feel that way about already, and I often think how much pain it will be to lose her one day. I guess this confirms it; it's going to suck bigtime. 😢
It's crazy how human connections can be so much weaker than our connection to our furbabies. Their love is so simple and pure, always present. They never get too tired or in a bad mood to show you how much they love you. What a gift they are.
If you have any of his skin left over I'd like to make a wallet...
I have a bad back and had to do this for many years, on top of carpet & a sleeping bag. Now I live in a hardwood-flooring-only house and was forced to move to a bed. Even though I found the stiffest mattress I could, I often yearn for the floor again.
Definitely 1, because not knowing if your post went out or not is a much more serious problem in Nostr (higher consequences) than it is elsewhere.
Not well, but I'm trying to learn. Feel free to shanghi the whole idea if you want to work on it.

It' would take a full Nuremburg Trial 2.0 to even start to address this mess. So many evil people doing evil things it makes Nazi Germany look like amateurs...
Unsuprisingly, it seemed to start happening at the same time professional league esports popped up. They've now got more eyeballs watching than the NFL does!
There's some major, major sponsor money behind this trend now. It's not going away.
I've considered doing something like this but it'll take more than just Kroger's API... It should show house prices, car prices, rent, fast food chains, doctor bills, etc., Basically track all things people buy over time and price them from Pizza day to the current time. Every view is graphs, no numbers unless hovering.
I could imagine the UI having life priced in 4 columns: Fiat, Inflation-adjusted fiat, gold, and bitcoin. Maybe a 5th for the S&P500. There should also be some way to enter in a 'savings account' amount and watch how that would have performed over time.
Now that mainstream finance is standing behind bitcoin, and laymen can now believe that it will continue to exist in the future instead of just crashing to zero one day, this data could get even the most careful noob to start saving something in bitcoin.
Pop! OS by System 76. - https://pop.system76.com/
I've used Mint, Ubuntu & Debian for over a decade, but Pop! is the smoothest of them all.
I am convinced you're mostly right and the sausage machine is set to autopilot most of the time. I mean just look at all those Hallmark romance films and their knock-offs on other networks... You can find like 4 new ones a day nowadays, just change the job title and actors, poof, whole new movie with little to no re-writes.
But there are still good filmmakers out there with original ideas, just once in a blue moon. Even in major properties like the Star Wars franchise there are rare gems to be found... Those Sequels were trash but did you see 2016's Rogue One? I literally judge that to be the best movie of the entire franchise, even over Episodes 4, 5, & 3! It had the most real drama by far.
Some say Chris Nolan makes great movies this century but I think he's a bit overrated... Still got a nice style, however.
I'm actually quite surprised how good a few movies are that a B-list actress named Samara Weaving keeps finding herself in. Go check out "Ready or Not" from 2019 to see what I mean. Just wow. Mahem and Guns Akimbo were also brilliant. She was also Bill & Ted's daughter in B&T3... She's really great a picking roles and practically any movie she's in should be a cult classic.
One things for sure; the better the movie, the less the mainstream seems to talk about it. This is the root of your problem.
Enjoy!
US grabs even more sea around it... THIS is why you need to put your seastead out 200+ nautical miles from everyone.

This year it's more shelf, who knows what it'll be next year.
I don't even grok how her contract as a cast member of The Boys would allow her to do this! She's absolutely unrecognizable like this and frankly Hughie is too good looking for her now!
Speaking of rogue money, this quote from the show Andor is pretty awesome. I was reminded of it yesterday.
"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."

LOVE Andor. & this is such a great, universal quote.
In fact, the whole time period in the Star Wars universe centered on the rise of the rebellion, from Obi-wan's miniseries up until my namesake blows up the death star, has an extremely bitcoin rebellion ethos. That includes the following series & movies: (In chrono order)
*Obi-wan Kenobi (miniseries)
*Rebels (Animated series)
*Andor (Livce-action Series)
*Rogue One (Movie)
*Star Wars A New Hope (Movie)
The best star wars movie ever, IMHO, is Rogue One, but it's hard to pick the better series between Andor and Rebels. Sure, the animation feels chincey with Rebels but the story is oh-so-good, and 100% cannon. In fact, the new live-action Ahsoka series is a direct continuation of the Rebels story set years later.
As bitcoiners we should all absorb every quote and lesson that Andor, Rebels, and Rogue One have to offer us. They were made for us more than anyone else.
Very interesting... But I still want an input method that can be used in quiet or adversarial environments.
Did you actually just post that to the guy who sells satscards and opendimes?
