Did Nostr basically killed Sphinx Chat? I tried to connect again and it's a real ghost town.

Too bad because there is good ideas like the option to pay per message in a group chat and to stake sats to write in order to avoid spam (first time you write it blocks a certain amount in sats, and if you are not reported as spam x hours after your last message, you get your sats back.

The way to agree on what is spam or not was still to improve (only the group admin could judge) but the seed for a solution was planted.

What ever happened to Sphinx chat?

Parent it you were a kid.

Went to the high end butcher for this #beef liver. By far the best I’ve had. Delicacy. I want to OD on it.

Google Gemini Voice will teach English faster and better than Duolingo. You can just discuss facts of the day, or any topic you like, with an agreeable AI in a second language. And the AI will answer any grammar or vocabulary question in the middle of it.

Heyyy are you the real alex schaefer? Have you shared your npub anywhere for proof? Assuming yes, your paintings are glorious. Great work

Calyx uses Google DNS & Google connectivity check (latter bypasses VPNs). Graphene built their own connectivity check (also let's you disable it altogether), and does not default to Google's DNS.

Calyx also doesn't have:

A sandboxed G Services option

Storage scopes

Attestation (Graphene built their own)

Hardening of various OS components

Hardware telemetry mitigation

Per connection MAC randomization

Not to mention security updates come in considerably faster on #grapheneos than #calyx.

Not that Calyx is bad. The above reasons might be ones to consider switching though if you're already on the fence.

WE WILL LAUNCH A NEW MINING POOL THAT DOES IT RIGHT.

Yep that’s me every single time 😂

Only to come home and do an online delivery order with the things I forgot!

Agreed. I tested Calyx for a week, then reflashed with GOS and it has stayed my main OS.

On Mullvad the following apps don't load:

What do these apps have against VPN's

After all these years, I'm still on the fence as to whether Bitcoin's transparency is flaw or feature.

It's a privacy concern for some users.

On the other hand, imagine your government on a Bitcoin standard, where all of their spending could be independently audited at any time. US DoD wouldn't have $2 trillion unaccounted for. 🤷

The Bitcoin chain is an honest accounting of transactions, for better or worse.
