Fountain sucks. I recommend getting a real podcast app like AntennaPod for listening to pods and just use Fountain when you want to boost.

I think you need to discuss this more Marty. And in Christian terms. The world needs Christ more than it needs Bitcoin.

FYI we are going to do a show on transhumanism this week. I would be interested in any feedback on the subject that those on here may have.
For me you have two extremes when it comes to the subject: ultra Luddites a la Ted Kaczynski who see an urgent need to stop the train of scientific "progress" and tech optimists a la Elon Musk who think getting to Mars and embracing AI as being the only chance for humanity not to go extinct in the near future.
It seems transhumanism crosses across political divides. You'd hardly call Musk a leftist, and much of the tech optimism comes from apolitical "tech bros" in Silicon Valley. At the same time Ted Kaczynski could be described as an extreme eco warrior.
Where as progressives are more naturally inclined, imo, to embrace new technology as an opportunity to "engineer a more equitable society", a sizeable amount of leftists worry about energy use, for example. So it isn't clear to me this is a left/right partisan issue.
You can trace the divide back to at least the Industrial Revolution. Much of Dostoevsky's and Neitzche's work is a reaction to the progressive idea of the time that everything was mechanical and it was just a matter of applying the scientific method to derive the laws of the universe and every mystery would be solved. Both Dostoevsky and Neitzche were greatly troubled by this idea and its implications. But despite the fact that the Newtonian ideas proved naive, and the "laws of the universe" much more complicated and, yes, even "mysterious" than anybody thought, we are still divided today along the lines of those who cheer on "technological progress" and those who feel unease towards the cliff we might be driving ourselves off.
Personally I am trying to find middle ground. I think as a natural right wing/conservative my impulse is that we should fear the unintended consequences of our meddling with the natural order, and proceed with the utmost caution as a result. On the other hand I see that pushing back like some kind of Amish is ultimately futile.
So I ask myself, what is the responsibility of the moral man? For me it can be put in somewhat Petersonian terms of "rescuing your father from the belly of a whale". That is, revivifying and making relevant the traditions of our ancestors to stand up and be useful in the modern environment, such that they provide a structure of support to help us and our offspring get "through to the other side". (That is, survive and thrive or at least get through life without going insane). So then the challenge to the right is to get over any silly/naive idea that we are ever going to slow down technological progress or that we are ever going back to the "good old days" of our youth/ our parent's youth/ the British Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, etc. etc.
What does that mean practically? Maybe it means not ruling out computer brain interfaces. Maybe an interface which would allow one instant access to bible verses and historical facts and such like would be of great advantage to those tasked with revivifying traditions within a modern context. Maybe viewing God's command to man to "subdue the earth" would extend to a mandate to subdue the universe with faithful Christians taking the good news to the four corners of the cosmos.
To conclude, I think I am at the conclusion that some kind of AI/human merging is inevitable, and that those right inclined should embrace it, with the explicit goal of using the technology to revivify and make relevant the traditions of our ancestors to the modern world. I think we should look to augment out cognition with AI and embrace interstellar travel as much as we are able with a view of taking out ancient culture to the four corners of the universe. I think by directing our embracing of technological progress to the cause of preserving our ancestral and cultural legacy we can anchor ourselves and give ourselves the best chance of not going completely mad / destroying ourselves through leftist entropy.
Thoughts?

I can't go 5 mins without having to "do something productive" even if that's just some hobby thing like learning chess.

I've mixed feeling but no strong feelings. Personally seeing the battle more as a spiritual war now. Bitcoin is just a weapon in that fight.

Follower count--like price--is probably something you want to check as little as possible. It's not that it's not important, or that it going up shouldn't make you happy, it's just that it's confusing the scoreboard for the game if you obsess over it, AI guess. It is a validation that you are putting out signal, though, especially for someone who wants to grow a career in media. So no shame in celebrating those milestones or else always having a new, bigger, goal in sight, imo.

Tokyo Citadel still small but we have a dozen or so active members and growing. @npub17n5…j6ds's Diamond Hands is the biggest in Japan. We had about 50 Japanese devs come to a Tokyo Bitdevs event in Shibuya earlier this month. Diamond Hands also did a LN flea market recently that was well attended. There are exciting things happening in Japan.

You get more space since you fold the futon away during the day. You can air your futon outside, especially in the summer, so I think it's cleaner. Plus I think it's more natural to sleep on the floor. Feels weird to be elevated. Plus it's really easy to buy a new futon and throw out the old one so again cleaner and cheaper than a bed.

Maybe, but your argument was "absolutely not necessity" which I think is untrue. Now if your argument should be interpreted as "violence is never necessary", Tolstoy-like pacifism, rather than "necessary" in any utilitarian sense of the word, then I respect your (I would argue) correct interpretation of the Gospel, and I see where you're coming from. I just think many people will misunderstand your original note without that context.

I think the use case for @npub1mut…23vg for me will be desktop Lightning. It occured to me I've never had a good desktop LN option to date. Restored my seed I had created on mobile in a desktop browser no issue. I guess if I can get in app zaps working automatically that will be a bonus but also just be able to easily send and received LN will probably work well from desktop too. Alby never worked for me as I was trying to pair it with my LN node and it always seemed to lose connection with the backend.
