no surprise, really... what with all the principled young women modern society is producing... each of them with a strong appreciation for individual sovereignty, and sound money principals... 👀

What you say is correct, but i'm struggling to see how it's relevant to the current discussion? Seems like a bit of a segue.

Many things outside of our control could threaten the affluence of developed nations, like natural disasters, for example. That doesn't mean that we should roll over and accept the internal threats.. that *are* within our control, at least to a varying degree...

(Incase you hadn't worked it out, yes, I'm talking about communism, dressed up in the garb of environmentalism).

there's a lot of money being spent trying to convince people that those downstream effects are much worse than they really are....

if they were philosophically consistent, they would be equally as up in arms about the quantities of glyphosate being dumped onto the worlds food supply.... but oddly enough, the same forces are silent on this...

seems like they're only concerned with taking aim at the things that make us strong and powerful as a developed nation...

Many of us refuse to go along with the prevailing narratives, not because we’re Luddite’s, but because we see clearly the grift that you describe.

Paying an environmentalist group to lobby on behalf of politically unfavourable ideas has long been a tactic of those who seek to impose their will on the world.

Sadly, this is a more representative description of what modern ‘environmentalism’ has become.

It has far more to do with power and control, than it does with true stewardship of our planet.

The so called technologies of the future should be welcomed, but should be subject to the same free market conditions as any other good or service. They should not be mandated by those who profess to be able to predict the weather, 50 years in advance.

I have tried to remain open minded, with respect to things like electric vehicles.

I was enthused by the potential to improve air quality, however recently I have been coming to understand that the increased weight of the vehicles is causing much faster wear on the tyres and break discs, increasing the rate of particulate release from these materials, in turn creating its own form of air pollution.

I’m also hearing from people who have purchased expensive electric vehicles, on the promise that they could drive a ~300 mile range, that they’re now choosing to take their beat up bangers on long trips, instead, as the range of the EV significantly depletes, if they want to use the radio, or perhaps the air conditioning…

These are all important aspects of the conversation that are left out. Along side the refusal to talk about things like how wonderful it would be to have a global increase in crop yields, off the back of a small increase in atmospheric temperature...

Until we can align ourselves around the pursuit of truth, as our underlying guiding principal, I think it’s quite reasonable that good people reserve their right to continuing using the ways and means that have served them well for thousands of years.

That doesn’t preclude us from innovating, and I believe the hydrogen & water technologies could well play a part in that. But let’s do it on the free market of ideas, and not by decree.

I haven’t studied water batteries much at all but look forward to learning more. Thanks for that.

I'm certainly open to the possilbities, but so far no one has achieved it. Germany tried, and ended up having to flip their coal fired plants back on.

If your solution is to reccommend things which sound nice, but fail in practise, you're going to have to work harder in terms of coming up with better solutions.

My elderly friends and family aren't going to freeze to death off the back of nice sounding but poorly thought through ideas.

It's also completely unacceptable to hand-wave away the myriad externalities of so-called renewables....

Why should I believe that strip mining lithium is somehow better for the planet than burning a few wind fallen ash trees?

When you realise that nature is a self contained system, all of a sudden the process of 'burning shit for power' starts to look rather elegant in it's simplicity and design...

smoke stack scrubbers would likely solve much of the concerns regarding burning hydrocarbons.

crop yields / agriculture / forest systems will benefit substantially by the increase in CO2.

sun only shines 12/24 hours a day.

storing the power is a complex problem. batteris require strip mining a lot of lithium, for example. lots of envrionmental damage there that the green folks like to gloss over. along side manufacturing / recycling panels, etc.

if the west keeps on following it's own 'climate based policies', it won't be long until we're back where we started, alongside the rest of the third world...

doesn't take long to reach the point where you're left wondering if that isn't actually the point of it all....

fair enough.

my point is that these sorts of issues happen to non apple hardware all the time. e.g. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/08/data-leaking-downfall-bug-affects-six-generations-of-intel-pc-and-server-cpus/

many people seem to believe that simply running linux will protect them from such vulnerabilities.

this is a major oversight. one worth acknowledging and correcting, in my view.

doesn't really change anything, unless you're manufacturing / assembling the hardware yourself.

you're still trusting chip manufacturers, supply lines, etc.

software doesn't solve hardware level issues

Devs of Nostr, any advice on what NIPs to look at, to better understand updateable events ?

Ideally, I'd like to broadcast an event whose contents are encrypted, using the users nsec, and which can later have it's contents updated/replaced, without creating a new event ?

🙏

#dev #nostr

a wee pitch and putt golf club would just complete this look

Read a post saying you support NWC, but don't see an option for it during setup.

Is it true that you support Nostr Wallet Connect?

is there a way to do nsec to mnemonic ?

we moving out of #grownostr and into #okthatsplenty

these auld ones feed the soul....

Let's go...!

Any time for a bit of this action?

shouldn't we handle the exception?
