The: Who do you want to be when you grow up?

My answer 👇

Sexual attraction and respect should go together. Healthy people are attracted to people they respect, and they respect people they are attracted to.

I actually haven’t read the Hainish Cycle, but I have read „The Dispossessed“ and „The Left Hand of Darkness“.

Ursula K. Le Guin was warned in 1969 that she was about to destroy her career, yet instead she reshaped modern literature. Raised in Berkeley by anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, she grew up understanding that societies and identities are cultural constructions, not fixed truths. After years of rejection for being “too philosophical” and “too female,” she defied science fiction’s rigid norms with The Left Hand of Darkness, opening with the startling line “The king was pregnant” and imagining a world without fixed gender—an idea publishers feared readers would reject. The novel won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards and remains in print decades later. She had already challenged fantasy conventions with A Wizard of Earthsea, making her hero Ged explicitly brown-skinned at a time when fantasy protagonists were overwhelmingly white, and she publicly resisted publishers who tried to erase that choice. Her influence only deepened with time, culminating in her 2014 National Book Awards speech at age 85, where she openly criticized corporate publishing and capitalism itself, calling on writers to imagine alternatives to the status quo. When she died in 2018, Le Guin left behind not just acclaimed books and awards, but a lasting proof that imagining different worlds—of gender, race, power, and freedom—can change the real one.

For those that are in Uganda 🇺🇬 let's use this app cos Facebook is to shut down

Still can’t sign up with your npub?

awesome! thank you for doing that and checking my sanity :)

those relays are fine. though you can pick smaller relays here and be just as successful since the inbox and outbox model allows users to choose any size and popularity of relay and still be able to communite with everyone. it helps with decentralization.

public relays are good for inbox, so everyone can comment, unless you want to limit who can comment. smaller relays are good for note storage, to help with decentralization so we don't all crowd around the top relays.

pick what you want and if it doesn't seem like a good choice, you can always choose another relay.

Everyone is complaining for getting a dollar on the Robinhood competition last night, sure that's not much at all, but they don't "owe" you anything.

Acting like they got scammed as if it wasn't literally free.

im wondering if you're still using the old version of the application? can you please do a hard refresh? depending on what device yoiu're using, you'd need to delete cache or shift f5 or control r.

or i guess it's possible you're only adding relays that you don't have permission to write to? i don't believe im checking for that issue, but i think it's as cache issue.

fixed!

this updates all of your applications that use your nostr profile's nip-65 relay settings, so yes, Amethyst and Primal would see updates.

as for that error, im wondering if it's because you added zero write relays and you were not able to write any changes do the read-only relays in your list.

let me fix this so people must have at least one write and one read relay for people that don't understand what they're doing here. thank you!

Let me see what I can come up with.

we've had various guides and tools over the years but nothing that's super simple like you suggested.

many of you should review your relay and network settings and remove old or inactive relays that are no longer online. it’s a good time to do a little maintenance and clean things up.

Shoutout to all #Bitcoin maxis who are alone with their addiction and don't know anyone else to talk to because nobody started a meetup in their town.

It really is wild to me that the propaganda has been so strong that people literally think CO2 is bad for the environment. Even people trying to counter the idea, tacitly frame their position in this direction (like but methane is even worse!) to not cause outrage.

CO2 is literally the only reason an environment exists. It is the literal life creator.

It's like demonizing language itself as being "bad for communication."

Why are we going to war with Venezuela again?

nah.. who is going to fall for that? ..

JUST IN: Coinbase CEO says “There is no chance” that Bitcoin goes to zero.

Of course. Where else would I go?

The problem is that the bad decisions are centralized in a way I can't escape them anymore. For me most linux DE's are lacking and I don't think they are giving me a better exprience. Thats fine they are just not for me. kDE I do really like and them dropping X11 support means that unless its forked and the fork is well distributed I am forced to migrate to wayland or I am forced to migrate to a different desktop both of which degrade my experience.

You could think stick to an old distro for a while but that only works so long and I need to be very up to date on my graphics drivers and other apps. So thats a tempoary at best non ideal solution.

The decentralized nature also makes it very hard for developers. NixOS for example is a particularly incompatible one. We support that one though so at least nix is managable. What doesnt work well is wayland because wayland makes the app scale incorrectly with no obvious way to get it not to do that. I thought I had a workaround but because wayland is also heavily decentralized it only seems to work on KDE. It would be great if we can just tell tk to not have scaling but it doesn't work that way. The scaliny also works great on every other platform. Windows, Mac, X11 are all fine.

Gnome takes this next level where wayland native apps must implement their own window decorations. Like consistent borders and theming? To bad. Apps either no longer to your consistent borders or they break on gnome.

Its that kinda stuff I am on about. You can be decentralized all you want but when key parts of the ecosystem become deliberately incompatible and expect everything else to adapt to them your going to get software devs who then simply no longer want to support it at all.

Tech is getting increasingly depressing for me.

Windows is being AI slopped to shir.

Linux intentionally infects everything with ideology and incompatibilities.

Android wants to become more like iPhone.

Apple is consistent in being a tyrant that wants to dictate what you can do.

Governments are removing our digital liberties at record pace.

I used to be excited about tech, but this year its very little excitement and a lot of seeing my passion go to shit.

I need some hype in my life again. Maybe the steam frame will not get ruined and cheer me up a bit. At least the open source AI space keeps giving some fun toys to play with.

Sounds like he’s still wrestling in the middle

🚨USA 🇺🇸: One of the leading abortion providers in the U.S., Planned Parenthood, has lost its federal funding following the passage of Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” on Thursday afternoon (July 3).

It is estimated that Planned Parenthood was set to receive $800 million over the next 12 months.

Can growth outrun the compound interest of the national debt?

The global reset of the corrupt central banker financial system is coming. Bitcoin will be the new standard and the Trump & military will be at the forefront of it all!
