Anonymity isn’t the end of trust, it’s the beginning of verifiable trust. When you can’t rely on names, you rely on cryptographic guarantees. The weak cling to surveillance; the strong build alternatives.

Any recommendations for hosted @btcpayserver inc. liquidity?

every time I open X they shove the most stupid US culture war into my face. feels like that has become the main purpose of the app. every post in "for you" is some form of degenerate left vs. right propaganda and the comments are both sides dunking on each other in the meanest possible way. erosion of civilization.

this is not how the world works but an ever growing number of people experience reality exclusively through social media. when you feel upset consuming media, question the source of your anger. any information you absorb on X is filtered for maximum engagement. any emotional response you have is pre-programmed. you're not making your own decisions. you're a bot.

the Internet is designed to trigger you. In this game of humans vs machines, you lose if you get triggered.

yo anybody still out there?

True moral agency belongs to the people at the edge, not the logic at the centre.

It's like you architect a software bluebrint and the AI is the builder.

And, after it builds things, you can go in and rearrange everything, to your liking, and then say, "I changed the code. Please double-check that I didn't break the features," and it'll go through and mark everything that conflicts.

And, if you get tired of your code, delete the entire /src/ and say, "Please generate all of the code to implement the .feature tests." and it'll write it all out, neatly, in 5 minutes.

Yes. I actually always say, "You might have made some stuff up. Please go back and check against the features." and it actually corrects any hallucinations, itself.

I wrote a design document, including PlantUML diagrams, and mockups, and hyperlinks to designs I liked and specs I wanted to cover and architectural/quality concepts I wanted to include, and coding guideline stuff from our PO. It was like 5 pages long.

And then I had it generate the .feature files, and went through multiple iterations on each file, editing and then having it review-and-suggest-more, and basta. The team has been feeding me their wishes, on the side, in Gherkin, and I just say "Please incorporate this into the .feature files and then implement." and ta-da!

The ultimate 'context engineering' I guess.

I need to get back into Cucumber. It's been a while. Like a decade or so. 🫠

Gherkin was always amazing, but the amount of mileage you get out of it, when using an LLM to code, is astounding.

we should. today is also Alex Gleason's birthday. we must celebrate.

Are you wearing fuck me crocs?!?

I use GrapheneOS.

Can't be making life too easy now can we.

Need a couple apps to just not quite work right for that extra spice.

Those this work for Monero as well?

Can It be made into an OsmAnd plugin?

Meshtastic definitely has the largest user base. Meshcore is growing fast but still small, and unknown if it has enough to steal meshtastics thunder. Reticulum very small, probably < 1000 nodes.

As for bridging, not sure. They each have a form of bridging over clearnet built in.
