Last Notes
As we watch rogue nation states (hint: that’s all of them) do what they do, a friendly reminder for you:
Buy Bitcoin. Starve the beast.
I’ve had very problems historically. This is a dumpster fire. It’ll only hasten my move over to my Linux machine. 👌🏻
Correct answer! Except maybe Thunderbird is too far gone.
Mozilla is shutting down their mastodon instance. Should they run a relay, instead?
https://mozilla.social/@mozilla/113153943609185249
I’ve turned off the OS-level firewall and disable Tailscale. It’s still wonky, but that seems to fix my WiFi problems.
And throw away all pagers. ☑️
I'm surprised. They usually work out the obvious kinks like this ahead of release.
The macOS Sequoia update wrecked my M2 Mac's network connectivity, and it seems to be widespread. Do not recommend.
Bravo, @npub1xke…d0en.

I still really want to see a better way to meet and reciprocally follow. Just met and followed someone, but he won’t have any practical way to know I did (sure, it’s buried in notifications), so I DM to prompt.
The State’s response to any problem, real or perceived, is always to spend more of our money.

As I’ve been migrating from Mac to Linux, I’ve come up against the shocking degree of wokeness/Marxist horseshit that now pervades so many open source projects.

On the plus side, seeing this makes me appreciate Bitcoin and nostr developers even more for largely resisting this nonsense.

I'd suggest that by comparison to the EU, the Commonwealth, et al, we're faring much better, if still disappointingly. It's not binary.
Same in Nashville. Walked on to the back porch with my son this morning around 6:30, and it was a nope.
Defeatist, no? Are you saying you'd rather Americans be unarmed and follows in the footsteps of the Commonwealth countries?
This, I do not know of. I'm not sure there's any way to register domains without KYC.

Perhaps, but it beats the alternative. The entirety of the Commonwealth is the counter-example.

I just ran a 3-hour workshop on business model design for a startup accelerator here in Nashville. I volunteer once or twice a year, and have for over a decade. These are earnest, devoted entrepreneurs. But it’s impossible not to see how, increasingly, their presumed paths to success hinge on government funding or related programs.
It’s yet another way in which the State intermediates itself into markets, interfering with their function and distorting their signals.

> The only way to defend free speech is to nuke the idea of benevolent censorship from orbit. Nobody has a monopoly on the truth, nobody can discern "misinformation" from truth consistently or without bias, and nobody can define "hate speech" in universally acceptable terms that don't recall blasphemy laws of centuries past.

I’m over my skis here, but I’d imagine it’s a replaceable event, where we can publish to effectively broadcast capabilities, offers, accomplishments, endorsements, etc. DVMs could source, match make, and the like.
I’d love to see a lightweight schema that includes:
- skills
- projects (what are you working on?)
- organizations (who are you affiliated with, current, past, contract, etc.)
- collaboration (are you hiring? looking to be hired?)

“There is always a trade-off between freedom and security. For the same reason, there is often a trade-off between entrepreneurship and security.

I finally dug from my memory the sci-fi novels that this reminds me of.
Artemis Bridge is the protagonist of Gary Ballard’s Bridge Chronicles series. He’ss a freelance consultant and information broker operating in a near-future, cyberpunk world dominated by corporations and digital networks. Bridge thrives on his ability to connect the right people and resources, solving problems for his clients in exchange for digital credits. He operates in a morally gray area, leveraging his extensive network of contacts and his deep understanding of the digital underworld to broker deals, arrange meetings, and manipulate outcomes.

“Bad Gurl Yellen doesn’t give two fucks about inflation. Her goal is to create nominal economic growth so that tax receipts rise and the US debt-to-GDP ratio falls. Given that no political party or their supporters are committed to cutting spending, deficits will continue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, due to the magnitude of the federal deficit, the largest in peacetime history, she must use all the tools at her disposal to fund the government. Specifically, that means coaxing as much money as she can off of the Fed’s balance sheet and into the real economy.”

No Context Note of the Day🥇 #note1ca6…de9h
This is a hell of a piece that goes to how weaponized our “democracy” has become and why it’s critical that we build systems of self-sufficiency outside of the State.
“The Democratic Party’s political engineers first sensed the centrality of [Brides of the State (BOTS)] to the Party’s power base during Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012. The Obama campaign then duly rolled out a storybook ad called ‘the Life of Julia’, which explained how Obama’s policies, from Head Start to Obamacare to contraception coverage to Medicare reform, would care for Julia from graduation through motherhood and finally to the grave without her needing to form a human relationship with anyone outside the government.”
“That BOTS are both unhappy and dependent is what makes them a uniquely valuable energy source for the party.”

What’s been most challenging about leaving iPhone?
1. I know full well that use of Apple gear and services has become an abusive relationship. It’s been that way for a while now.
2. I know from prior experience and recently dabbling that, while Linux is more than workable on desktop, there will be significant time required to migrate to different apps and, most notably, to change muscle memory.
3. I’m a “business user,” not a developer. I’m a nerd (neovim is my copilot) and enjoy tinkering, but ultimately I need shit to just work. I don’t have the time or patience to constantly find workarounds and fix broken things.
4. It’s most difficult to imagine letting go of iPhone, but I’m open to it. See # 3 regarding “need shit to just work.”
That said, I’m looking for input from other *non-developers* who’ve made or attempted to make the switch. What would you do differently? Would you do it at all? Did you relapse to Apple? Hit me.

“The result is what Matthew Crawford has noted is essentially government by psyop, or soft managerialism. The ruling elite, Labour and Tory wings alike, would rather try to manage the British public’s whole perception of reality than ever use force to stop illegal immigration, actual police crime, or attempt — in the longer-term — to salvage the cratering popular legitimacy of their regime.

The brutal, but best advice I have to offer builders/engineers/developers In Bitcoin, as with any emerging technology, is this: "Nobody cares." If you operate from this default assumption, you get out of the weeds and learn to focus on what truly matters to your customers and users, and that's getting a job done.
We’re all going through challenging times, in our own ways, but the liberty-loving among you in the UK must be feeling profound dread and dismay. Godspeed to you.

US credit card debt is the bubble no one's talking about. Except maybe the very people causing the problem.
“To that end, the latest quarterly report (for the second quarter of 2024) from the Federal Reserve on household debt noted that overall indebtedness was up in the quarter by 0.6%, reaching an aggregate of $17.8 trillion.
To get some perspective on just how much debt has been piled on through the last few years, we’ve loaded $3.7 trillion of card-related and other loans since before the pandemic.”

The waves of what I'll call Software Socialism (see Champaign Socialism) are increasing in frequency on nostr. They look something like this:
“Why would VCs have designs to generate outsized returns from their investments in [X, Y, and Z] startups?”
“How dare [insert for-profit company] choose to charge for [insert feature]!”
“Why isn't this commercial product open sourced to the degree that meets my personal satisfaction?”
“They took outside capital and decided to change direction after considerable struggle, reflection, and effort? F*ck those guys!”
To which I'll offer:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

In contrast, a broken orientation converts every decision into damage regardless of the effort's apparent success. The longer this failed orientation persists, the greater the loss in cohesion, coherence, etc.”

Public-private key pairs enable cryptographic verification that the holder/owner of the private key created the artifact (text, image, note) in question. That’s all, but it’s immensely powerful.
As for attributes or credentials, we then get into things like Decentralized ID (DID) and so-called Verified Credentials. These become considerably more complex. Some are bullish on these schemes, others not so much.
You’re doing it now with this note and every other you create. 😀 Your identification is what you’ve chosen to add to your profile, but that could be blank, of course.
