Is the refit finished?

Romania are, mămăligă n-are!
With Odell defaulting back to X, the 4000 turned into 40 😂
Do you make your own? Raw yolks, olive oil, coconut oil, lime and vinegar?
Doubt you'll find mayo or salad dressings, seed-oil free and emulsifier free, at a supermarket.
The 1.0.2 wisp apk, went from 41 to 78mb, for such small update.
Any thoughts @nprofile…tkue ?

Turning off the reaction feature/button is the single best thing one can do for improved mental health in any social media environment.
Bet you there is/are IQ ranges for those who rice their apps.
Any form of adournment is a rapport rug pull. An attempt to increase value with an externality, not intrinsic to the individual.
Jewelry, tatoos, make up, branded clothing, ostentating possessions.
Make up in movie productions is propaganda, perhaps worse than real life interactions.
Lasting rapport is based on immutable values, but we judge character based on how capricious one is at following trends.
The question is: which node was it broadcasted through? Assuming you made the transaction from your own hard wallet, and not any soft wallet or exchange.
Running gemma 4 on ollama, latest llama.cpp or something else?
If John Nash was indeed Satoshi...
The reaction button is the EVILEST engineered tech of the digital, if not the entire industrial era. No military apparatus has mass-colonised the human psyche to such complete subjugation.
Disguised as generosity, predatory by nature -- it runs a chemical charade over the neurological system, farming the individual into an optimisation-hungry vegetable, with the artistic prowess of a broccoli.
As an average Xennial, I witnessed first-hand the transition from poorly-written MySpace dossiers on single-processor desktops to a gamified Facebook in multi-core pocket phones. We went from retarded blogging to revolving in cesspools.
The nostr protocol and its team of 4000 keep me awake at night. Its ungovernable nature could prove more destructive than all other platforms combined — precisely because it mirrors the same feature rails as its predecessors: reactions, reposts, comments, etc.
If nostr is to WIN, it must do so through unprecedented innovation that enhances human cognition, intellectuality, and empirical truth.
Today marks three years of #nostronly for me.
May I commend @nprofile…pt5w for "pioneering" user control over the button row by enabling removal of the reaction button entirely, an Amethyst update last week.
Zapping is poised to be the greatest innovation for healthy social interaction. Its skin-in-the-game nature carries a singular bias: genuine desirability. Inversely, a zapless post, perhaps what this note will turn out to be, is not inherently bad, undesirable or nefarious; merely a tractionless idea registered at a particular time and space.
If free will exists, there is a chance for zapless content being read. Negative reaction counts -- by trolls or not -- will crush any narural inclination towards curiousity.
Also, reaction buttons -- their statistical counts and qualitative weight -- have demonstrably poisoned the nature of discourse in the comment section, for over a decade. It's only natural for humans to gang up on an idea they were "sold".
Long-winded way to say: keep your sanity and enhance the quality of posts and comments by deleting gamified reaction buttons.
Done once, done for all.
PS: btw, I use wisp.
The complacency, I attribute to the still to be addressed time-stamp issue in 2038.
The TODO list keeps growing. Perhaps we procrastinate for a bang all breakable issues at once.
Prior to quantum resistance cryptography, we need a disambiguation of BTC morals and make it explicit through code. Someone eventually will have the audacity (or be fed up) to spin up a node written in rust, which will be excellent marketing in itself for the inevitable hardfork time: mem safe and quantum resistant.
Can't be a Core-code fork, must be under a radically different banner than the current OP Wars. Coded from scratch and yet backwards compatible, to prove itself prior to such hardfork. Then we have runway, perhaps united, to tackle the quantum issue.
What else to do with time?
Consume other people's codes and narratives? I'll take your half-baked scripts any day of the week.
Brain plasticity counts in this world of temptation, of sheer consumption.
In aesthetics and mathematics, less and less creation is unprecedented.
Like you, sometimes I stumble upon a gnuutils command or just some flag in awk that blows my mind.
And I was there, Gandalf! I first installed Linux around 1995. Lasted one afternoon, it sucked ass. Twelve years later, highly motivated by the absurdity of Windows Vista, I returned for good.
You're a practicing Samurai, constantly hoaning your skills, but may never see the light of battle.
Though with what's brewing at the moment, your shell scripting knowledge will save you from total insanity or despair, in a world of censorship and restriction.
Long-winded way to say: same here!
Milgram and Pareto ratios come to mind.
Makes me question free will. Not for the minority who embraces BTC for the creative liberty offered, but the obscure motives of the majority.
As if determinism is an autoimmune system, ready to fend off, populate and dominate any attempts of emerging free will in the universe.
Good on ya!
OpenRC or Runit?
Due to the age controversy with systemD?
In The Morning!! 🥳🎉
The price per litre for gasoline at the cheapest location in New Zealand, near Port of Tauranga. That's $7.34 USD per gallon, to my whinning-American fellas.
In hindsight, gasoline was ~$1.50 here in 2007. Very few products or services accrued less than 100% inflation since. Even with the GCC shenannigans and high demand, petrol is tracking at a low premium... for Fiat standards that is.

Yes, but... until the reactions button (likes) is deleted for good, we have not achieved anything for greater psychological good of humanity.

@nprofile…jejf did it again!!! Thank you, good sir!
Have been using Wisp Android Client ( https://github.com/barrydeen/wisp ) full time since v0.2.5. and WOW!
Best inbox/outbox model, by far. Fastest than any client I've used. Amethyst misses a few notes if compared to Gossip and Voyage, but Wisp matches the accuracy of the latter and bags them all with speed, specially fetching lists.
The NWC is plain simple: MUST paste in, and done. It saves time trying to figure out or remember busy UIs.
Very interesting feature: Proof-of-work on notes and reactions. Makes me NOT miss ReplyGuy and ;;;;
Wisp will make onboarding people elegantly easier. Very exciting.
Nostr WILL win!
Sofia is a Maxi Fenix. My European boat is also one :))
The time in history where, manipulating two penises at once(6 7), is a woman's desirable asset for a long and prosperous relationship.
"No good deed goes unpunished" because "being good" is subversion propaganda.
Usefully-good idiots.
How did that quote go?
When you focus on linux, you grow.
When you focus on windows...💩🤪
Great effort from your part. Keeping the brain plastic is the winner.
If the maritime analogy proves valid, the seaman rule is that you ONLY abandon a sinking vessel when you can take a step UP into a liferaft.
More people have perished by abandoning a ship in peril (still floating) than remaining aboard and weathering its apparent troubles.
Risk mitigation is key, at sea and in finance.
Yes, back to 0.94.3-fdroid here, due to failures of loading feeds and also bandwidth usage.
Relays settings tested: 2, 3, 4 and 10. It works great for the main list "All Follows" but all other default and custom naddr's it constantly fails or freezes fetching, even "Global".
My usage is "bare", I'm a reader. No video, URL or profile img preview, only images. Always on Performance mode. Even so, I burned through 50Gb of bandwidth in less than 10 days.
Back to 0.94.3, my usage returned to 3-5Gb per week
Philosophically?
I read your blog post and love any efforts at recognizing how powerful and capable 64-bit computers already were a decade ago.
Two quotes came to mind about WSL: "...like polishing a turd" and "puttin' lipstick on a pig".
Since Win XP, there's just nothing that can make it "usable".
Wouldn't the time employed at flushing it all out for something like Alpine, bring meaning and satisfaction to you??
In addendum: "People write because no one listens."
Interest is precise and focused.
"How you doing?" is broad, vague and "canned".
The .28 gang on the rise.
In hindsight, we should have stuck to 21, and never been seduced by Taproot. Yaaay for the Lightning developments, naay for all else. Snowballed-bloating nightmare.
Paraphrasing the Unix philosophy: "Perform one task, and perform exceptionally well".
Lotus 1-2-3 came out a few years prior, and ran in DOS. VisiCalc was even earlier.
People hate it today because they have no clue how painful it is to manually calculate endless columns by hand and actually get it right.
"Yes Gandalf, I was there 😅"
So based on your logic: Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung have been illegaly not allowing bootloaders to be unlocked in smartphones since 2014, impeding third parties from flashing custom software into the hardware, hence disrupting market competition?
How do you propose anyone litigates against these companies, if they are legitimately complying with 2014/53 Article 3.3(i): having features that keep their radio equipment with software that is compatibly demonstrable???
Reminding that this is about Delegated Act of 2022, which is an ammendment (by "Queen" Ursula) to, and redundantly cites, Article 3 of 2014/53.
Yes... but... the tip of the tongue on a 9V battery.
Only dd can teach permanent humbleness 😂
Welll... the times of irresponsible amounts of time (all weekend) vibeing bitchat 😂
Seems like an orchestrated "attack". Laws for research:
Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU and Delegated Act 2022/30.
And how convenient that the EU has just passed a bill this month that bootloader- unlocking features are no longer allowed on devices with CE approval?? Samsung is already officially complying. Not that it was ever easy to do so with their crap.
Stock up on devices that still can take Lineage and Graphene OS, or be at the mercy of these retarded circumstances.
Creation vs consumption. And once you get a CAD platform "between your fingers", it's just like saying good bye to fiat.
Ain't no hobby, it's independence!!! Well done 🥳🎉
We can hardly keep up with you 😂
In the late 90's, I was sold the narrative that input would eventually come from haptic gloves and pushing holographic projections around. Thirty years later, all I want is a minimalistic keyboard and a monochromatic terminal environment.
BitChat: came for the bluetooth mesh, stayed for the geofenced irc-like chat via nostr.

Is there a distance limit for geohash in the android apk? I'm currently in Scandinavia and cannot reach further than ~1250, or the app does not list further.
Makes me wonder if most people are just chatting via bitmap.lat in the farther regions, which kind of beat the purpose.
Infinity. If physically true and we cannot "reach for the stars", is it of any relevance to the living?

Yeah, something "fishy" with the Aeropress. It just tastes A LOT better than all else. But the rubber from the plunger is also in full contact with the boiling water, and some micro bits from friction will inevitably end up in our morning goodness.
The stainless percolators or the french plungers are also great, but the grounds floating in my cup are not pleasant to my taste.
This is the filter I alluded to earlier. Only weighs 70g and it only needs a splash of water to clean up. Don't even need detergent or a filthy sponge, the grounds just fall off from the tap water.
It's also easier to make extra cups when someone visits, which was always onerous with one Airpress. I live on a sailboat, so weight counts and water is scarce for clean up.

It won't be long until such genre of music is composed about the EVIL and PSYCOPATHIC whole coiners.
Loved my Airpress, until the whole plastic and chemical narrative came knocking. Pain in the ass, but makes sense.
If health is the goal, search for "stainless coffee strainer" on Amazon or Aliexpress. Cone shaped thing, get the finest mesh possible. No plastic and no bleached papers, just coffee and boiling water, as an espresso machine from a barista does ☕
So... this identical "workflow", except no paper filter with chemicals, nor the plastic strainer leaching PFAS into our glorious concoction.
A 304 stainless steel coffee filter/strainer!
The mesh MUST BE 800. The 600 is too course. Bought it on both Amazon and Aliexpress.
Apparently, paper filters hold back the healthy fats from the beans, whilst espresso machines do not.
Clean up is painless: just rinse, the grinds fall off. Don't even need to brush or use detergents.

Your LNURL is still not accepting zaps
Is it not:
IN = Indiana, USA ???
Read this today, as you might have as well:

Paraphrasing all the events, he summed it up quite nicely that it was entirely brand management. All of the slogans :"They are us", " Team of 5 million" are long gone, whilst her "brand" still appears on Vogue and the likes.
What started as "We're all in the same waka" became a "waka for one".
