Haven't tried lightning in a couple years. Tried to pay an $8 invoice with @nprofile…lktc with the Send feature and it fails every time. Tried straight from the QR scanner and it says "LND is getting ready to make payments" forever. Surprised how painful this is.

I'm interested in a just world and support the public condemnation of unjust things or people. You seem to be arguing that everyone is worthy of advocacy regardless of their agenda or position. Tolerance and "positivity" are not virtues, while justice is. I'd also urge you to consider why you would expect anyone to join your cause when it cripples the primary mechanism we have to maintain cultures online; specifically, group gatekeeping.

I see. I disagree with people for good reason and when I do I am not obliged to support them. This post reminds me of an old Frank Herbert line:
“When I am weaker than you I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles”
This quote characterizes the results of every online tolerance movement for almost 10 years. I’m surprised we haven’t learned our lesson yet.

History is also full of multi-generational benevolent monarchs. The oldest form of governance won’t disappear because of bitcoin. Making it hard or impossible to confiscate wealth will mitigate many of the risks of monarchy. It may actually get more popular as a result. Stability of a lifelong ruler and a clear responsible party who you can dispatch if needed? And he can’t take your money? Sounds pretty good.

If you don’t recognize anything other than centralized vaulting as a cause of monarchy then your confusion is understandable.

I don’t generally like to call out specific group identity when people don’t say “I am X” because it’s trivial to just say “I’m not that and you’re wrong”. I prefer to deal with ideas. I’ll do so for the sake of this conversation. Liberal (in the political philosophy sense of the word), bitcoiner, enlightened centrist. I’m sure that, as a father (I think that’s true?), you have more private group identities as well, but I won’t speculate on those.

2023-05-04 01:26:27

Here and there. You appear to have group identity(ies) like everyone else. “Group identity is dumb and I avoid it by not caring” is acedia, though.

Sufficiently advanced acedia could, perhaps, make you free of hypocrisy. Doesn’t sound like any way to live to me.

If a centrist is by definition someone without a group identity then I agree. You cannot be a political actor without an identity, so such people don’t exist.

2023-05-03 23:23:22

- reply

You can tell that they’re an identity group because they act like one. They use the same, predictable language as one another, identify the same enemies, and support the same allies. They may be unaware of their group identity, but that’s another matter.

2023-05-03 23:20:40

- reply

I agree that these people lack a *meaningful* identity. As a result, they advocate on behalf of the “expert” class with whom they wish to identify and by whom they are directed. The priest caste who deliver the evidence to the enlightened centrists for their righteous consideration. This is an identity group.

This is the difference between E2EE P2P systems and public broadcast systems. Spending a ton of time making DMs truly private on nostr is a waste of time. There are lots of projects working on that and they're far ahead of anything that's going to be added to nostr. Nostr should stick to replacing the public web. Other people will solve the private web.

I can’t find the Foundation dick move here. Investors wanted to fund a device. A team wanted to build a device. They got together and used the available tools to do it. “My license allowed this but I’m mad it happened” is silly. Preventing others in the community from profiting off your public work is bad. If anyone is wrong it’s the Coldcard team.

St. Walpurga was the niece of St. Boniface who helped him convert the Germans. 2 saint brothers, both of whom left her as abbess of their monasteries when they died. Her bones produce healing oil to this day. Very interesting saint and much more is known than what I’ve summarized. Her canonization day is May 1 and celebration of her replaced Beltaine in Celtic and Germanic cultures. The practice is to have bonfires to ward off evil.

Syntactically, you're right. Before there were apps it was "computer programs" and "software" and choosing your OS was critical. All of these words refer to specific functions that a user wants a computer to accomplish. So in the sense that they don't care about aPp BrAnDs you're right, but they do want coherent function. Apple's success in the 201Xs exemplifies this. The OS was the original super app and I tend to think we'll get back there eventually. There's a project called Urbit that's taking the bottom-up approach and whether you're interested in using it or not you should check it out to stimulate thoughts on this problem.
