Digit is Digit. I love her. I knew her online from wallstreetbets and she disappeared while going through some shit. I keep needing proof she's safe. To anyone I've ever treated unfairly, I apologize.

Saves me more stress than I thought it would. No worry about hurting someone's feelings by not following back, or unfollowing over a misunderstanding, or following someone hurtful/hateful/untrustworthy.

But it's mainly just so if Digit ever sees my profile it reinforces how much I miss her and need to know she's safe

"My Tribe" feed on Primal (posts from followers and Vinney) then also the trending feeds and global

That sign is at dog height like dogs can read... did the cat place it?

Whenever I'm on nostr there's a game running in the background to see how long it takes before another random person's profile has a reply to nostr:npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx which I can use to click through and check what that npub has posted lately

They're one of my favorite nostr people but I don't follow anyone, and they don't follow me, and they show up randomly so often this is more convenient than bookmarking the profile or anything like that

The other day someone posted a screenshot of an app they're working on with a post from this npub as the example on the screen, that was trippy. Couldn't click because screenshot. I was bamboozled

"blockchain" not bitcoin

what a surprise that corporations, well known for the corruption of their long chains of command and toxic psychology, benefit from blockchains to protect their databases, not an interesting or valuable use case nor something that really couldn't be fixed by abolishing LLCs entirely as being an abuse of the common wealth of people living nearby each other

yes, actually, you know since blockchains were invented (in the early days of distributed databases, and the inception of the entire field of distributed systems) users of it have profited from the accuracy and redundancy of the information by using hashes to chain transactions together, this was already a thing at least in the mid 90s, the blockchain is the useful thding, because it lets you make sure that nobody can tamper with the record in one area without it being discoverable, and correctable, indeed, ultimately it is just an error correction system and really salient to the use cases hashes as fingerprints and signatures as authorities

the only other one that stood out was property registries, but that is an example of where the court has adopted this as a notarization standard, good luck getting that use case to happen without cooperation of the court you must adjudicate any conflicts at

not gonna help you for those cases where the court doesn't recognise it and good luck getting it to be recognised as case law and even better luck getting it to be legistlated

I plugged this into ChatGPT and it kept giving me basically the same shit again but with a "ok let's focus on bitcoin specific stuff" intro injected in

Massive L for the chat bots yet again

You should be aight then as long as no corrupt official switched it on you

Emulate the whole Mac if you must ๐Ÿ’ช

I actually have no idea what I'm talking about, but bewarned - after using Apple's modern products, you might it very sus to have them within wireless range of your other stuff all the time

Broke: "I believe whatever I want, I don't know any history"

Bespoke: "I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been"

This also implies for the most intelligent and strongest woman (Digit)

AI researchers will literally see the girl with the third knee and be like "I can fix her"

As a self-proclaimed AI researcher, I saw this in my feed and took it upon myself to go through like 6 cloudflare verifications to open that stupid thing for the first time in months. It has a sleek new UI.

This is not the initial answer it gave to your question, but this is the answer I got after a couple follow-up questions to narrow it down to the most relevant stuff:

------

Understood. Let's focus on the use cases with clear, demonstrable utility backed by real-world implementations:

How can one buy very small amounts of BTC with anonymity?

I am new to this world, and please explain to me like Iโ€™m 5. For context, I'm in the second half of my 40s and my level of education is limited to high school. One detail that might count is that I live in the EUR zone.

My intention is for the next year to buy BTC worth 50 EUR a month while getting some practical experience along with some knowledge and re-evaluating after this time. I want to do it for my kid, for reasons that go beyond โ€œsome cushion moneyโ€. While I am not a very educated person, to put it mildly, I am getting anxious about some totalitarian tendencies that my old continent seems to have acquired. Some call me paranoid, so I decided to stop talking about it in real life, but I assure you that I don't use my aluminium foil for non-culinary reasons. While right now I live in the โ€œcivilised worldโ€, I was born in an Eastern European dictatorship and I can still get a sour taste when, once in a while, I see different news about what should be regulated next.

But I digress. From my knowledge, there are two ways of keeping my privacy while acquiring BTC. The first one should be in person, with cash, but I don't know how safe it is because, well, paranoia again. The second option would be to use a Bitcoin ATM where I can pay with cash. But to pay about 20% over the marketโ€ฆ for me it's outrageous. And yes, I know it's not a lot of money but for me, it counts.

I would like to thank you in advance for any answers and wish all the best to everyone.

This page will probably tell you if bisq is an option for you

You're not making sense. Metadata is a category of data, but you seem to be calling it "not data" and suggesting the difference is like, whole different etymological roots or something (incorrect)

I can't wait to see if a solar flare collapses society.

Your article definitely shows this one is bigger than usual:

> The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued an alert on Wednesday, showing a 65 percent chance radios, aviation communication and satellite operations could be disrupted this week.

> The agency reported blackouts over parts of the Pacific Ocean and other regions on Wednesday morning.
