Last Notes
I was just thinking the recipient could confirm the request with an attestation.
I've come to terms with my appearance long ago. Sticks and stones 😏 😔 😢
Like most of us aren't here 😂
I saw one of those rental ones in Tampa on the side of the road. looked like it was run over by a truck, but no blood, the person that left it survived, apparently.
I don't know why anyone would think that they wouldn't just convert it into profit. Lol There's no reason to compete on price in a pay-to-play system that makes true competition difficult. Running a company in the US is retardedly not Capitalist. It's irks the fuck out of me when I see people blame capitalism. That isn't what we've had for a very long time. We came close early on but it's been a mixed economy for most of our existence. And that mixed nature distorts reality. Winners and losers are chosen.
My cats would hard pass on that, but I'd love it 😂

There also seems to be no acknowledgement of the push to get massive debt for a degree (among all the other shit people buy on credit now - cars, housing, etc) to do the jobs being replaced. What happens when people can't pay that debt anymore? And that's putting aside the fact that debasement already makes it hard to stay afloat anyway. I'm not a Luddite. I'm just asking questions. I don't see how life is sustainable as things are. And even with the lowest prices, where is even that money coming from?
I think we should have had a sound money system from the start, leading to a slower transition where everyone would benefit. It would have been a more natural progression. I don't see how that happens when everyone is already on the brink and expected to adjust in mere years. Actual capitalism would have likely led to abundance and less time working for most people. But that isn't what we have.
What am I missing?
I'll try github, thx!!

i'm only connecting to under 10 #relays of hundreds?
last update broke everything. ugh.
i need to #rollback to previous #version of amythest? possible?

Many fun solutions start as stupid ideas.
i might call that planning and preparation, with awareness of the badness
I'd rather have local police patrol the area 24/7 than have spy cameras everywhere. In fact, that's what they originally did and were probably closer to the community (actually serving them). That's where "walking a beat" came from. Now they're just on call state thugs so we need fucking cameras everywhere?
How could we do public zap receipts without involving a trusted third-party (like the Lightning server) or tracking the transaction? Could the recipient issue the receipt, in response to a message from the payer?
It seems like the receipt is primarily to the advantage of the recipient. If they had to expend some cost, effort, or PoW to publish the receipt, they'd be disinclined to fake it. They'd also be disinclined to bother publishing receipts for 1 sat zaps, which would put upward pressure on the zap amounts. Then you wouldn't need to include the amount, as the amount would tend be above a certain threshhold, so that the receipt merely existing is some proof of the minimum value of the zap.
Just pondering this. It seems mostly like an economic and cryptographic conundrum, which means it can perhaps be solved for.
But maybe that's a stupid idea. 😂🤷🏻♀️
Still you didn't explain blossom which would be just as important
So that’s why my ears were burning…
Can be mitigated with a little creativity. I've yet to see a compelling argument against the suggested stack compared to what they use today
You inspired me to keep an even better watch on my town.
Hell, a lot of these companies actually sell the data. Why would they give a fuck about protecting it?
Yeah. Retards. Let them keep playing the DNS whac-a-mole game
One reason to take an absolute minimum approach to data storage. A good engineer knows that perfect protection is unlikely.
Especially today. There are options. But that isn't the business model for many companies. They make money by being as invasive as possible. And usually in a careless way. Many data breaches happen because of carelessness and a cultural view that storing everything forever is okay.
AML/KYC bullshit is an example of this imposed by law and that gets leaked too. It's a pure example of unnecessary data storage leading to harm for no benefit to the company or the consumer. Even states sometimes lose data, and they arguably have the most resources to protect it.
Pro-Israel people doing all they possibly can to be hated, algorithms feeding it too. Sus. What's the 4d chess move here

Good to hear these bullies are losing their monopoly
And I was on board for the first two weeks. Then I reevaluated the evidence and changed my course very early on. Many didn't and couldn't muster the courage to admit that. They were guided by fear and raw emotion. I guess you can call it sunk cost, but many people demonstrate an unwillingness to turn back at a certain point. They'll do anything to not admit it. That's the cowardice I see. Pushing forward prevents them from having to admit they were wrong. Some people try to save face by stopping but not really acknowledging that they were wrong. We saw that with many politicians.
ICE providing her with rubbers 🤣
All the Covid bullshit comes to mind. I watched people sink into madness rather than admit they were wrong. And they aren't dumb people.
this will succeed because users can conveniently send value over their preferred network.
all using the self custodial wallets that they are accustomed to.
why nostr devs think this is bad and MORE confusing that onboarding everyone to custodial LN is beyond me.

we each have a limited worry and stress budget. save it for the real stuff: actual bad things WILL happen to you and people you care about, so don't blow your budget on anxiety about what **could be**. because when you're faced with what **actually is** you won't be able to step up to meet the challenge with your best. an optional, self-inflicted wound added on top of the inevitable circumstances that you cannot control.
I think there's some merit to that. "Useful idiot?"
There are also different forms of cowardice and life or death isn't always the situation (it rarely is).
There's intellectual cowardice, and that's more aligned with what I'm talking about in this note. It's the most destructive form and yes, it generally comes from the smarter people. They're just smart enough to lead people into danger but just dumb enough to do it. The mid wits. The most likely to be cowards when the time comes to face up to being wrong.
It is WAY more effective than any other method I've used. The effective range is longer than a housefly startle distance so your number of misses and fly aways is much lower.
That’s what I’m thinking

I actually used it again recently after a while and found myself not getting it. I'll have to spend more time using it. My guess is I'll really like it
Yeah I should probably walk that back. But it all feels like software systems are just permanently exploitable no matter what safeguards you put in place.
Dude must have a pharmacy full of pills for that 😂
As usual, you've implemented "my" idea 😋
This was partially my point when I asked if Globe lived in the US. I was being facetious, but it's actually true for anyone who doesn't embrace the city life. Which is a lot of people here. And if we're being honest, those big city people wouldn't survive if everyone in the US lived the exact same lifestyle. At least not with how things work right now.
