Left-handed Lightning lefty.

No pros, all cons. In fact I believe it was a con.

I guess it is a slight odd example but one where healthy progress is being reversed to appease populism.

What a brilliant chart.

Green paint incoming from the looks of it.

Something that I was talking about with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s last night stuck in my head. Most people think that technological progress is a one directional path. We learn new things and move forward, never sliding backwards, never losing knowledge along the way.

But this isn’t true. Just look at the dark ages. Just look at the civilizations of the Maya, or ancient Egyptians. They had advanced mathematics, a deep understanding of the movements of the solar system; and yet, their knowledge was largely forgotten for centuries (and in some cases millennia) after they collapsed.

Just because we have books, and libraries, and the internet doesn’t mean we’re immune either.

The ability to build upon our collective knowledge and apply that knowledge to create a better world around us is a fragile thing.

It requires the ability to freely question, freely discuss, and free transact. It requires openness, humility, and curiosity. All things that are seriously lacking in our world today.

Nostr needs builders to grow. But I believe that Nostr also needs to grow the world’s supply of builders if we want to continue to progress forward, and not tumble backwards into the dark.

Totally agree.

Brexit being a very modern example.

👋 I’m Emily… longtime friend and colleague nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s converted me to the purple bird app. Happy to connect here and in person at #btcamsterdam #introductions

👋🏽 Emily.

One of my top highlights was meeting you.

I’ve had a brilliant two days at the #bitcoin conference in Amsterdam.

Met some great people.

Do the lights come on when you power it on. Worth checking that none of the soldered joints are touching each other.

Still can’t figure out why my nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl won’t power on. 🤔

Very slight bend in the gpio connector pins but they still connect, not sure if that would be enough of an issue.

I have the proper power supply, SD card was brand new and flashed with the proper img file using Balena Etcher, and I’m pretty sure my soldering is fine.

Is there any way to test if my board or screen are faulty? I don’t know what else it could be, unless it is just the pins.

It was just the pins when I had the same problem. They need to be soldered on.
