AndI am 100% sure that eventually this will happen, also in "rich" Europe, as it happened in Argentina to my family there, and in many other countries before and after.

But right now, right here, the probability that she loses her BTC keys is orders of magnitude larger than her bank AND the government both failing to cover her deposits.

Re: self-custody.

For real, just drop it. I know. I agree. But just think what you people are saying: "The current system is already cumbersome, people are just stuck with the familiar and reject the discomfort of what's new".

Yes, but in the current system, unless you're wealthy, you're covered by insurance. And then again, if you're wealthy enough not to be covered, you're probably sophisticated enough for self-custody already, or can afford to pay people to be sophisticated for you.

It's very simple: if my mom's bank "loses" her money, she gets it back. If she loses the keys to her BTC, she doesn't. And that applies to absolutely everybody in my immediate circle. I literally know no one around me who has more than €100k cash in a bank account.

As in...? Because my buddies and I are still hoarding that vespene big time 25 years later.

But you have to go in person to the temple, I mean, the ORBS to register first.

Nooo, this isn't Twitter. We keep the peace xD

I know! What's going on there? I have my theories, but I don't want to be offensive because I know we've got some Spanish fellow nostriches here and they're usually very sensitive :p

I was in Indonesia in January, had been a few years, and it's one of those places where on one hand people in the West, especially the US, can't even fathom how ubiquitous mobile tech is (inserting your chip card to pay is something even grandmas would laugh at).

Pair that with a State with a very obvious authoritarian instinct but limited by the country's economic, social and material conditions in its desire to control and direct. In many aspects, a lot of these developing countries are "lucky" in that sense. The State wants to be like 1950-current Europe, with its "soft" but relentless "social authoritarianism", but just can't afford it.

Now all these bits of tech will enable it to skip the whole "development" (social, institutional, political) process, and go straight to the totalitarian phase. Just like they skipped phone lines and went mobile directly.

The dystopia in places like Indonesia will be fuckin horrible.

The US is not the world and, in this case, its the US government excluding its citizens... Do you really think Altman doesn't want the US?

Still an evil project that I want no part of, but give the credit where it's due.

Spain as pathetic as usual, and it's 90% attributable to the almost complete lack of access to the English-speaking world in general.

But anyhow, WFT is going on in Extremadura?

No way I would take it anywhere outside the safe place where it's permanently and secretly stored. Defeats the purpose.

We're not talking about "legal", the law is not an argument here.

Yes, I saw this one for instance. I'm missing some that I can see on Damus though. But I guess that may be relay-related?

Nuance to that: it's difficult to sell the idea that you copy some specific arrangement of information that I originally came up with, while saying that you are the one who actually came up with it, without incurring in a lie. I.e., fraud.

But purely copying the information"as is" to resell it without making any false claims, yes, of course it's legit.

What's going on with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg today? Someone broke something. I get all these duplicate notes, including my own. And buttons keep not working.

Yes, basically.

I swear the first time I was ambushed into trying it while visiting our local Japanese school, I literally threw it up through my nose.

After moving to Tokyo and having a hardcore Japanese room-mate who had it everyday for breakfast (with white rice and kimchi), I took to it and now I always have some. I love it with a raw quail egg and kimchi.

Which one are you though

Forgot the pic. Needless to say, I'm keeping a lid on the pot all along to prevent evaporation while cooking.

This is how it's going sfter adding the mix.

Cultural notes: originally this dish was done using an old hen that had stopped being "useful", i.e., laying eggs. So she would be used for food.

Everything was used, originally -- in fact the two eggs yolks for the mix are the ones that you would find inside the hen. That's why it's yolks and not full eggs including the whites. Most likely the liver, at least, would be used for the mix too (it's common still today to use liver in these recipes, at least in Catalonia). Also, the bones and less useful parts would be used for the broth. So a classical zero-waste recipe.

In any case old hen is much tastier than chicken, but it's not easy to come by, so chicken it is. And the yolks I took from regular eggs of course, as in the picture before (and I eat the whites just with some salt and olive oil). The broth in this case is a mix of some I had left from something else, which I topped up with store broth. It is what it is!

Then the rest is just a basic stew. Add the chicken to the onions. Add water or broth (obviously broth is tastier). Add salt and black or white pepper (absolutely necessary). Braise until tender. You can choose when to add the dry mix, but I cook the chicken for at least 30 minutes at the lowest heat possible, then add the mix and keep braising it for a while longer, say 30 more minutes. It's probably too much but if the heat is low enough you'll be fine and the meat will melt from the bone, which is the whole point. Of course along the whole process you have to regulate the amount of liquid. The final sauce should not be too thick, or so runny thag you can sctually separate the ingredients. In any case, it's one of those dishes that tastes much better if you leave it to settle for several hours or even overnight. Will post pics when ready to serve.
