useful for non-narrative-critical information but for everything else a total waste of time.

there's more than a few elements of history, especially anything of the last 100 years or so, that are worthless propaganda too, and anything that contradicts that that is older also has to be altered.

there is an overall tone also, for even other things where somewhat borderline areas are deceptively presented so as to downplay their significance.

it's psychotic. literally sociopath behaviour.

the proof of that is how calling it out leads to being gaslit and piled in on by sock puppets and cult drones.

spooks are all insane, and desperately want everyone to believe they are the ultimate authority on history and science.

it's a part of sociopathy. the person has an image they want the world to believe in, and they use every form of deception they can to get the desired confirmation feedback from other people.

i see, so the spec doesn't have an opinion about short form having markup and i'm just having trouble trying to understand why rendering if found would be a problem.

i've been writing every length of form in markdown for a long time and have been wishing since at least 2016 that it was just a standard thing to *italicise* and **bold** and _underline_ and

- make

- lists

and quote things

that are probably from a terminal

because i am constantly needing all these things.

i don't use headings so much, that's more of a structured long form document, and for those, it's been a really long road to table of contents showing the outline to be normally available somewhere (github now puts them at the top of a markdown document rendering.

i'm keeping my ear open to hear about when markdown formatting comes to short form messages because, it predates even 2015, actually, once upon a time before markdown there was bbcode.

it was the silos that siloed users away from this.

and coracle assumes that all posts are what exactly? and why can't i write long form in this?

should i be moving to use another client?

the mess of btc is so bad it's hard to even determine by quite extensive following of links and imports and references and replace statements, what is actually going into the binary that comes out.

it needs a total overhaul. it's a mess and it's at the center of the most deployed lightning network node.

i'm just going to rip out pieces that i need at this point, and to hell with trying to fix anything, i've got nothing done except raising my blood pressure.

the task doesn't require these things to be fixed and they are unlikely to be either vulnerable OR, be changed any time soon, so fuggit.

one day i will have the time to fix it, that day isn't today.

i am in super duper pig-headed mode. you could say aries ram-headed even...

i've had to retreat a little in my assault on the btcd importing all the things it wants that i don't want problem, but i'm regrouping in a new tactic, making a btcutil sans bullcrap, carefully, one step at a time.

first thing was to tidy up a mess i made on some tags and commits on my ec/chainhash library. firstly, i got rid of two new commits, a go.mod i didn't really want to have, and then i learned how to delete remote tags i had added that i don't want any more.

i am now firmly in a mood of HATE towards any repository of Go code that has more than one go.mod. NONE, NICHTS. NEMA, няма, NADA. did I mention none? NONNNNNNNEEEE!!!!

go module proxy is gonna be a bit confused maybe, but idfc it will figure it out, or i'll just learn something new and make it work how i want it to.

super aggro day, best way for me to get stuff done.

ah yeah, this must be the maca. lol!

it's helping, obviously.

low T is the most accursed thing for someone with a big imagination and dreams. it shall be no more.

also, i probably have been exercising a bit too hard, so i'm taking my time off, gonna take a 4 day break (2 more off days) and then dial back my rhythm to every 3 days, or somewhere near 2 days a week training.

it's great to go hard, but when you wake up every morning wishing you could soak in a hot bath and then cook in a sauna before getting moving, that's a water heating bill i really can't do right now.

gotta find the proper maca powder tho, this sugar is so insane.

at least to have a checkmark at the bottom of the input to tag it as long form type note so the interface doesn't turn it into a giant poo like that one here.

i think that you could easily write a script that scans a post for signs of being markdown and renders it as such if it finds more than a few instances of `\n## something` and ` some quoted shell command' sorta things.

the way that my post got utterly mangled using 4 space prefixed references to filesystems the thing is unreadable on coracle.

the fiatjaf, esquire! Laird of the NOSTR

i think they are stupid. password breaches due to browser and mobile device app caches are the smallest problem compared to the cleartext storage of your private data on siloed trusted third party "cloud" apps.

having said that, i wish more people would realise that airgapped, NFC and USB connected devices like yubikeys and tapsigners are the only serious security.

nsecbunker and xnos and all this sort of thing, they don't fundamentally change the equation in terms of the fact that any app running with your permissions with filesystem privileges is vulnerable.

android devices already partition app filesystems hard using kernel namespaces.

no other app is going to easily gain access to any profile data stored by the app in the standard location. the only concern is if it for some reason writes such data outside of that with general filesystem access permisisons. those permissions are not very clear, to me they seem to give read and write access outside of app profile folders, but should have more clear control - that you can only READ outside of the profile folder, so you know it can't possibly be writing your key somewhere another app could access it.

wen button for 'long form post' ?

just want to share some notes about my experience with simplex desktop.

go here to download the appimage: https://simplex.chat/downloads/#desktop-app

you can then:

chmod u+x ~/Downloads/simplex-desktop-x86_64.AppImage

assuming you use standard download location.

and run it:

~/Downloads/simplex-desktop-x86_64.AppImage

then magically, back in your terminal (open another session), check your mounts, and you will see a new entry at the end of the list, something like this:

simplex-desktop-x86_64_594d9f9f940c843946e86def816d28d1.AppImage on /tmp/.mount_simpleNlnGNH type fuse.simplex-desktop-x86_64_594d9f9f940c843946e86def816d28d1.AppImage (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)

the important part is the second bit:

/tmp/.mount_simpleNlnGNH

cd to it:

ls

and you'll see this:

AppRun chat.simplex.app.desktop simplex.png usr

you want to copy the .desktop and .png files to your profile:

cp chat.simplex.app.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

cp simplex.png ~/.local/share/icons/

then the last step, to make it all stick:

cd ~/Downloads

cp simplex-desktop-x86_64.AppImage ~/.local/bin/simplex

and voila, you will now have a desktop icon that can launch it, and from terminal `simplex` will also launch it.

hot cacao soup with milk and sea salt for me but same ritual otherwise :D

btw: simplex was written in Haskell.

:facepalm emoji:

use the binary unless you have low time preference and a lot of memory on your pc.

classic example of midwit

yet another example of why i use arch, btw:
