The 5x optical zoom is nice.
This is example 30x zoom with poor light conditions that I just took. It does a lot of AI processing, but it makes stuff legible and genuinely better than my eyes...

Sending thoughts and prayers.
Over UDP apparently.
If it's some widely accepted amusing method that doesn't physically hurt the target, then I'd allow it π
Very cool bitcoin flavored game!
When you send thoughts and prayers, do these go over TCP?

Now that nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm NWC no longer works, what is a comparable wallet that can be used to zap people so that zaps are visible to others?
I've tried sending sats to ln invoice nostr:npub1sn0rtcjcf543gj4wsg7fa59s700d5ztys5ctj0g69g2x6802npjqhjjtws generates as well as nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q wallet (great app btw), but these zaps don't show on other clients ;(
If you don't want that to happen, you have to support local bitcoin only economies where people actually own and spend their bitcoin.
Literally spending bitcoin for stuff and services is the solution if you think through this deep enough.
Oh and a sidenote to avoid the paywall. Just add a dot after ".com", like "https://www.bloomberg.com./news..." and then you can read it.
This is an interesting test case. I replied to Molly on nostr, but Molly won't (most likely) see it, because her Mastodon instance does not federate with the bridge.
The whole beautiful world of nostr is cut off, but it does enable "safe space, LGBTQIA+ and BLM" of https://hachyderm.io/.
You can see here that you can't see my reply: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/113669059643019724 π
And this is why I don't like "single app to see all social networks" type of solutions. They always end up sucking in terms of experience on one or both sides.

Remember when TDev's attorney said that the volume of discovery was equal to 75% of the Library of Congress, or that, if stacked, it would reach from earth to the moon 22 times?
The Government since added two new batches of discovery β now totaling 17 terabytes β and is in the process of providing an additional batch to Rodriguez' defense in the next seven days.
To give the defense more time to sort through the available information, the next hearing has been postponed until March 12th.
The trial date has been set for Nov 3rd 2025.

What could they have 17 TB of? Like 4K movies? Or couple times cloned bitcoin blockchain?
Do you have any more numbers to share? Are we talking thousands of people?
Yes, it's Alby Go connected via NWC to coinos. My guess is that nostr:nprofile1qqsqtxasg0gqw3gtgc8wlzdkts0y8e257rt8agrpcj6qgwhzmf5xfwgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpcyz6h doesn't provide more detailed info? That would be ok for privacy reasons, but the Alby UI could be better?
Well, definitely don't search the #SouthPark tag on nostr. Lesson learned right here.

I like that one episode of South Park where Clyde ignores his mother and doesn't put the toilet seat down, which results in his mother being sucked down the toilet and killed. So the government obviously installs TSA agents into everyone's bathroom. The TSA agents are just one step too real.
I'm saying this after taking way too many flights this year.

Since I know you super well after reading like 3 of your posts and you yelling at me a couple times from the screen - I can tell that there is artisanal value in original Noshole eggs. π
There's a market for everything...
It's not the worst thing ever.
Freeze them eggs! That will show them!
And send me thank you sats in couple years π
I paid for burgers at Five Makes with bitcoin (obviously), but it was quite tricky, because I didn't have a cell signal. In the end I had to connect to their WiFi.

The one thing that would help is to have a QR code for the WiFi, that would speed up the experience a lot. E.g. use https://qifi.org/ . Doesn't need to be fancy, just print it on paper and they can have it at the "bar".
It definitely requires some thinking through the implications, but having ability to associate WhatsApp, Signal and Simplex could be quite interesting. All latin America runs on WhatsApp and a lot of privacy afficionados run on Signal...
Where is this place? π
if they are broken, they may need more butter...
You highlighted one possible option: have a client. There are multiple things used on Tor that have a client, so that's possible.
I'm not saying these options are better, but I'm saying they are possible.
Asking users for email is the point of weakness - emails run on clearnet domains and if the email providers are kneeled on, they will provide the information to a three letter agency of your choice (e.g. proton did provide info in the past).
Am I traveling with a baby or without a baby?
If without a baby, then I'm having a blast, I'll catch up on shows, podcasts, books, sleep and fully enjoy stressless travel...
