Sub Zero

This week I've been thinking a lot about the 1990s version of Mortal Kombat that I played on Sega back in the early 1990s as like an eight year old.

Specifically the "Finish Him" aspect. I frankly never really liked that part; I was always a fan of mercy instead. I wanted to win but be kind after winning. I trained in martial arts a lot, so that was ingrained in me. Be kind to your opponents.

But admittedly, sometimes someone is *so fucking bad* that they need to be finished. Like totally and utterly rekt, so that they can't hurt other people anymore. Mercy needs to step aside for righteous devastation in that rare case.

Anyway, this thought has absolutely nothing to do with COPA and Craig Wright. Nothing at all. 😈

i hate it because of the rabid #monero fanatics who are here on #nostr who seriously don't understand that pseudonymity is enough and you can't have #lightning on a monero style ledger, because of its "security"

lightning moves way more value already than #monero, hell, the number of open channels exceeds its market cap

and with a little more energy devoted to this task, #lightningnetwork could be more private than monero ever could be

The #1 thing I learned from 12 years of working in engineering and engineering management was: "keep it simple, stupid".

Somewhat related: this week when going through a 30-year old dusty/mildewy storage locker, I found an old cassette player that works like new. Kind of like how those hold Nintendo systems can basically survive a nuclear apocalypse and keep working.

being on nostr doesn't make you special

being on nostr doesn't mean you have any new ideas that actually do anything new

you just recognise that the centralised social networks are done

fucking einstein you are!

seriously, you have to be literally deluded or retarded to not notice that 10 years ago

Today when I stopped for a coffee, the bartender told me that he is starting to notice a pattern.

Never talked to him before but it's unstoppable at this point.

I understand some of these words.

Been using ente.io as a Google photos alternative, very happy so far. Paid the yearly subscription with lightning. They should be on Nostr, even better if the account login could be with a nostr account.
