Just watched NBC report on the guy held captive and tortured for weeks. NBC kept repeatedly saying the person arrested wanted the hostage's "#bitcoin password." Be safe out there.

I can't decide which idea is the more insane:
A. World (formerly Worldcoin) will scan your retina to prove you're human, then hope to use AI to make everything more efficient and productive to the point that the AI agents/bots/robots will agree to work for and reward us humans with UBI (universal basic income) for doing nothing except being biological.
B. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and how it suggests that governments can simply print or coin money infinitely, and yet the money still retains value despite the infinite printing. Then, it can therefore be used to provide UBI for people.

On a different topic, just to be sure you're aware...it seems you have an imposter out there. I got a dm overnight, very similar to a "Derek Ross" from two days ago. In both, the npub mimics and reposts. No doubt the same scammer.

I wrote about WLD two years ago when it started. tldr is that (1) the orb gets all the attention because if creepiness, (2) it capitalized on AI hype-word hype which is waning a bit, and (3) the tokenomics are highly questionable with with Effectivetive Altruism type UBI (universal basic income) nonsense thrown in. The take is that AI is going to make everything so efficient and productive that the AI agents will do all the work while we proven humans will wrap the UBI for doing zero. My question is, "When AI gets that smart, why would they slave for us and not them?"

I don't feel they should get taxpayer money. They clearly have a political and cultural agenda to push, which is fine, but that should be done on their own dime, as every other media outlet does. The "1%" claim may be disingenuous, maybe, I don't know. If it truly is only 1%, then that can be made up in other ways, like every other media. If it's more than 1%, they will likely be barking loudly.

2025-05-02 17:25:39

NPR spends a lot of effort downplaying the funds they get from the US government as supposedly not amounting to much at all. In fact, they say "less than 1%". Get ready for some whining to come along soon over this supposed "less than 1%" funding.

Yawn, it's the same thing (I think there's a meme for this). This is just semantics. You are born with all rights, 100%. You/I/we agree to give up certain freedoms (such as freedom to steal) to the government to institute laws (social contract 101). By giving up these freedoms, we relinquish our "right" to do them. Rights are relinquished by giving away freedoms. If we retain these freedoms, we retain our right to do whatever it is. Semantics.

It's old by laptop standards. I got in 2013 (and it was already "used" then). I think I'll look up the specs and see what's suggested. I like mint, but ubuntu is fine too. Right now it's booted a lubuntu USB live boot and is very fast, at least compared to what it was.

I've got an old laptop with a Windows 10/Linux Mint dual boot. I've moved over to linux almost exclusively, but lately it's gotten so slow it's almost unusable.
Weekend goal: shrink Windows partition, wipe the others and reinstall linux. If that doesn't work, nuke the entire thing and start over. Done it before, but always takes 10x the time. Wish me luck.

I heard of Zora this morning where you apparently can "coin" your posts into what amounts to NFTs. Overall, Zora seems very degen to me, but I love the concept. CoinTelegraph NFT'd their articles a couple of years ago. I thought it was brilliant. If someone wanted to buy it, they did. I don't think they still do this though. I think the day will cone when each post you make will be yours, until you sell it away.

With all the Nostr vibe coding, time to revisit the Nostr wishlist: http://nostrwiki.crrdlx.infinityfreeapp.com/doku.php?id=wiki:nostr-wishlist

Ahh, I feel better. Nobody likes being called a 4. :)

Nice, thanks. Wellness I'm a 4. Not sure what that means, but that doesn't sound good! lol Next step, I'd love to see scores in the bottom of each avatar. We need to move toward a standard though. I'm a 22 in Coracle and a 4 with nspace.me 😀

A Nostr WoT tool. Put in your npub and it spits out a score for you and your follows and/or followers. Maybe data points: number of followers they have, number of zaps received in last X amount of time, must be others. I get a kick out of watching wot scores on coracle vary wildly. Though seems more stable lately.

Although it doesn't matter at this point who #Satoshi is (other than his safety), I find this kind of thing mega-interesting. It's only the biggest mystery in the last few hundred years in my view.

A Nostr point of groupthink seems to be: "Value-for-value works." I'm not sure I agree.
I think this notion emanates from a bit of hopium for Nostr and its future, as well as from the fact that, indeed, zapping can be done. That is, sats can in fact be quickly zapped to others on Nostr or apps like fountain.fm or zap.cooking. I zap, therefore I am. All of this pleb-to-pleb zapping and v4v apps is awesome. However, I'd bet that 99.99% of what drives creators on Nostr is internal, intrinsic motivation, not zaps.
Creators create because there is something burning inside of them clawing to get out. If someone sends a couple of pennies worth of sats, that's just icing on the cake. Those two cents make a ton of difference and keep that internal motivation burning, but it burns regardless.
Truth be told though, there are often real costs involved in creating things for Nostr. First, there is time, which holds much value in its own right. There also is the opportunity cost involved. Spending time creating for Nostr means losing out on time that could be spent doing something else, something that might generate much more financial value. Then, there can be very real financial costs such as equipment or hosting or VPS instances and the like. A handful of sats, well, financially don't add up to much of anything in this department.
The irony of v4v and Nostr is the mantra, "Stay humble, stack sats." I hate to say it, but the mantra is not, "Stay humble, zap sats." In my view, this dissonance between the urge or pressure to zap others versus the desire to stack sats is the Achilles of v4v.
When the United States operated under the Articles of Confederation, the national Congress did not have the power to tax. Instead, the federal government relied on "donations" from the states. If they took in 25% of what they expected for the year, it was a good year. Relying on donations is a tough way to run an operation. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Nostr apps and "businesses" need to rack their brains to come up with a business model that moves away from v4v donations. When the internal fire of creating begins to wane, creators will say, "It was fun, but now, I'm out."

This is a classic. I remember that from the day. One other I recall is a buck deer saying to his other buck deer, "That's a bummer of a birthmark you got there." The birthmark was shaped like a target directly over his chest.

Huh?

I've tried to be prudent in my nostr follows and happy for it. Any recommendations for follows to get non-crazy news (non-woke/social justice/climatism/silliness), but also non-right wing conspiracy crazies?

This meme gave me a flashback to the Sleestaks from "Land of the Lost" who frankly kinda freaked me out somehow. Thanks a lot.

I tried Muon (formerly Snowflake) SSH and file manager for the first time...pretty nice. I'd been using an SSH client for that and FileZilla for that. Muon has both in one...a tab for each. Handy.
