Last Notes npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I watched it 15 years ago and I keep thinking about it very often. Truly like a nightmare. Every time my over-privileged children complain about bit too much, I tell them to go watch this movie. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga btw, ya intenté varias veces hacerte donaciones mediante tu pagina web (apoyo->donacion) pero la url da un error de DNS (uso cloudflare y google DNS). npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Thank you. They've been trying for some time to get #ChatControl approved. It looks like this could be their moment given that the few people who care about privacy and were abstaining or against the law might find this version acceptable in comparison with what's going on in UK and Brazil. One option will be to move away from EU because there's really no sign that anything is going in the right direction at this time. Another option will be to stop using the centralized platforms and move towards p2p and decentralized whenever possible. That will mean stopping to communicate with many people who see no issue in what's happening. All in all, it will mean spending more time on Nostr. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Agreed. If there are enough people complaining, which I'm pretty sure there'll be, then there'll be a NIP about it and client/relay will implement the NIP. Advertising will be a cat and mouse game where NIPs will need to constantly evolve to protect users. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Nostr doesn't need as much relay decentralization as it needs relay replication and resilience. It's a real challenge but it looks achievable. More work is needed to make relays easy to run and manage, and much more work is needed to make relay management in clients much easier (default+advanced modes). npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga ok, thank you for the details. I'll check first how to run a personal relay (not Android). But I'd like also to understand how public relay management works in general and what are the challenges. I want to understand how much of a help it is for nostr in general if I just start a new public relay. I'm not looking at this to build a business. It's a war effort. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga where do I start if I want to run a relay? is there a handy how-to somewhere? npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Agreed. Beautifully said! npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga pls do, there's a lot of people here wondering npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga No one is coming to save you npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Young children are an immense joy but later you might have moments of doubt when your children are in their teenage years. By then, you're not their source of truth anymore. They'll rather rely on that guy on Tiktok, or on their buddy who dropped out of school or on their girlfriend's uncle. In the vicious culture environment we live in, you can quickly see your children spiraling out of control. It can be tough as a parent because you often feel powerless and you can never be happier than your unhappiest child. I feel lucky because one of my children has now vigourously bounced back and is doing great as a young adult. But I have several friends not as lucky as me. And my second child has not made it yet to the other side, the jury is out. All in all, I don't regret a single second having children, it's an incredible adventure, but it can be a very bumpy road. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga regardless of being disrespectful or not in the present, such a situation can only lead to trouble down the road. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga The brain does not process stimuli; it processes prediction errors. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Your brain doesn’t work by receiving stimuli from the senses and then analyzing it and reacting as is widely believed. It acts according to an internal apriori built over time and only use data to validate the model. A top tennis player wouldn’t be able to return a tennis serve if the model was stimuli > analysis > reaction. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga yup, unfortunately we now have scientists and economists more driven by ideology than their craft, and then politician taking advantage of these publications for their own benefit. Btw, in France it's still possible to buy one of the few remaining new Jimny on the market, but while the car will cost you approx €28k, the new special French CO2 tax will be around €30k on top of purchase price. We've entered crazy territory. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Jimny was in such demand in recent years in EU that there was almost a year of delay between order and delivery. Also, it was not possible to choose a color. It would just arrive and if you don't like the color, the car is for the next person in queue. Earlier this year, Suzuki has stopped selling them in EU because it was too damaging for the EU CO2 rating given that there's no hybrid version. I guess 2nd hand prices are bound to increase. Mine is certainly not for sale. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I've not tried that and I don't really want to be tinkering with browsers everywhere (I use 2 desktops, 2 laptops and 1 smartphone). I need something easy enough. I initially hoped that ProtonMail = Gmail + privacy but in its current state and with a big archive, it's ProtonMail = Gmail + privacy - searchability, which is frankly less compelling. So far, I've moved all communications with banks, shopping sites and private conversations to Proton, but Gmail remains important for the rest and I don't find it handy to need managing both. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga thanks. yes, I've already tried that. It works with a reasonably small collection of emails, but with an archive over 5Gb it's not really a workable solution. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga the tradeoff seems obvious at first in favor of privacy. But when I consider that I need to search quite regularly (sometimes on mobile) in thousands of emails of at least the last decade, the tradeoff is not easy anymore. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I have an account and I love the product. But the big drawback is that you can't really search full-text in the body of emails because of encryption on server side. And searching in the subject is most often not enough. I really wonder how people deal with that. If you don't have many emails in your archive, you can use their web storage full-text search, but that's not scalable. You can also use Proton Bridge with Thunderbird to import your emails locally and search full-text, but that's not handy through multiple desktops and mobile. So you're left with over-engineering your email subjects, labeling and folders, which is not manageable. I'd love to give up on Gmail and go 100% ProtonMail but I need to solve that problem first. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Thank you, that's exactly what it is, my freedom car! It's the perfect 1-person car to travel around. There's room for my dog tough 😉 npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I don't know whether Bittr works with an id. What I said was actually a comment that the Bittr founder wrote me in an exchange to explain that his system is not KYC-free per se because my name and bank account is still captured by the bank (and maybe by them for the conversion). npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Bittr is arguably easier, does not require KYC and is substantially cheaper. Keep in mind they get your name and bank account nbr given that you need to wire to their account. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I'm not using #nos but I imagine that in the app settings you should find a way to connect your Primal wallet through NWC. I guess it would require you to go to Primal where you would ask to create a new connection for your wallet, it would give you a QR code and you'd scan that QR code from #nos. I don't have a Primal account but that's the flow that works through Alby to connect Alby wallet to a new nostr app. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga this is quite certainly not obvious npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga this is quite certainly not obvious npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga this is quite certainly not obvious npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga this is quite certainly not obvious npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Hate speech is clearly not specific enough. What must be prohibited is speech that jeopardizes the physical integrity of others. There must be a clear incitation to physical violence for it to not benefit the free speech label. Think Radio Mille Collines in Rwanda in 1994 for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_T%C3%A9l%C3%A9vision_Libre_des_Mille_Collines npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga no worries, tea-bagging will come in due time npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga getting rid of nicotine adiction is arguably not that hard, it would take at most a couple of weeks. What is *really* hard is getting rid of the habit, and above all getting rid of the associations between smoking and some activities (stress reduction, alcohol, post-eating, concentration,...). I managed to get rid of it several decades ago, never went back. I used a combination of matches and water. Chewing matches helped me to slowly getting rid of the habit of having a cigarette in my mouth. Then, whenever I feeling a strong urge to smoke, I would force myself to drink 75cl of water quickly. It would fill my belly and and therefore alleviate the urge. The most dangerous moment is after 6 weeks and after 1 year. That's when you feel confident that you're in control and risk relapsing. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga GM Ashtanga yogi here. I've done a few pilates sessions and find it an excellent complement to ashtanga. I'm older than average here and want to develop as good as possible mobility, stability and strength for old age. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga https://blog.mutinywallet.com/mutiny-wallet-is-shutting-down/ npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga You're right, that's a good point. So, that's basically the same info leaked as when buying on a P2P platform like Peach. Sure, I don't "like" that a company has that info, but I think I like it even less that a person I know nothing about on the other side of P2P deal gets my name and account number. Anyway, you've convinced me, I'll try your service ;) npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga if it's not KYC'ed, I agree it deserves paying a premium on top of kraken and then comparing 1.5% to the regular premium paid on P2P platforms actually make you offering look much better. Maybe I read you web page too fast, but it did not immediately appear to me that this is KYC free. If that's the case, it might be worth highlighting it a bit more. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga ok thanks for explanation! I imagine that if it's not KYC'ed, Switzerland limit is 1000EUR/day? npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I hesitated to go for Ente, I eventually just switched to 2FAS, it's also open-source and easy to use. Happy so far. It's possible to keep a backup in iCloud. Btw, I never scan 2FA QR codes, I copy the token-secret (string) and paste it in first in the 2FA app, and then again in an encrypted file that I keep as 2FA backup. It's much easier when you switch app, and more reliable than recovery codes when you lose 2FA device. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Welcome! Nice concept. 1.5% fee though. I get it that's it's hard to earn enough to sustain your business while you're not at scale, but it 7x the price I pay on Kraken. I'm willing to be convinced, why should I try your service? npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I discovered him about a year ago when I was trying to understand René Girard's work. J. Bi had just released a series of 7 episodes about Girard. IMHO, each episode should be watched twice because I find it pretty hard to digest Girard on a single pass. Great work from J. Bi and D. Perrell. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Johnattan Bi clearly has a style that won't satisfy all tastes. But he's very good at conveying key philosophical ideas. I've started watching the videos from his new project about great ideas from Western thinkers. Definitely worth my time so far. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Certainly one of the best books I've ever read. As a young adult feeling lost and misunderstood in my mid-20s, it helped me a lot and later I read it again several times. I reacted to this post because “The only zen you’ll find on mountaintops is the zen you bring up there with you” immediately stuck with me on my first reading of the book and I keep thinking about this sentence pretty often. How do you like it so far? npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga That's not from Alan Watts afaik, it's from Robert Pirsig in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Très bonne idée! Tu les imprimes où les stickers? npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga are you using the sticker files from bitcoin.rocks and print them locally? npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga And it mostly just keeps accelerating. By my age, years are just flying by. With that said, it goes by fast if you don't do a lot of new stuff. It's been shown that daily routine gives the impression of time passing faster. Hence, the need to find the right balance between routine and discovery. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga How can we ever expect to raise again as a civilization if we devote public space to billboards instead of inspiring art ? Ads trigger mimetic desire that (at civilization scale) inevitably ends up in insatisfaction and violence. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Yes, by default nobody wants to deal with that. The downside of automation being probably more centralization, though with the option of tinkering for those who need it. And the centralization will require financing, so there will be either ads on some relays or subscriptions. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga je ne me souviens plus bien, mais c'est pas lui qui avait pourtant initialement poussé l'idée il y a 7 ou 8 ans? j'ai pas pu lire l'article de l'express à cause du paywall. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I'm in the same boat. So far, I remain a resident of EU (though I spend a good chunk of the year in Switzerland), but I feel there's a tipping point. One day, EU will enforce just another seemingly inocuous dystopian law and I'll decide I'm done and just leave. I've lived in Latam in the past and will probably split my time between Latam and Switzerland. Today with doggo 🙌🇨🇭 https://m.primal.net/JcoO.jpg npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I have noticed in conversation that some people are put off by your flag. People have the urge to classify other people into boxes. You don't easily fit in a box as you are, and that seems to bother some people. It's their problem, not yours. Your voice and your work are important. Bitcoin is neutral and I wish we don't stay stuck with the existing bitcoiner stereotypes. I hope you stay around. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Twitter was a revelation for me in that regard. It helped me better take the measure of people I look up to by watching their consistency across topics and moods. Think someone like Taleb for example as a caricature. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Barcelona, like Prague and many others, have become hell for locals because of tourism pressure. Good decision. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Lunaticoin https://podtail.com/podcast/lunaticoin/ npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Agreed but that’s way easier when you know you took good decisions and luck was on your side. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Booze, yacht, private chef, fancy watch, fancy cars => unnecessary 1st class air travel => Economy Plus is enough when flying commercial Private air travel => Netjets route and schedule flexibility sometimes worth the price. Onboard luxury is unnecessary. Not having to go through regular airport onboarding process is priceless though. Luxury food & hotel & mansion => I take authenticity over sophistication every day. Clothes => function > look npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I’ve had the same pattern of issues as you experience. Now it’s much much better. 1. Lots of water, no alcohol. 2. Sensors quieting: earbuds, eyemask and mouth taping. 3. Different breathing techniques to relax and sleep when possible. 4. Mindset shift so as not to stress if sleeping pattern when flying is very different from regular night. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga yes, but income tax is as much about surveillance as it is about collecting resources for the State. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Now that parenting is over, hiking & offroading is top of the list. Cantabria last week👇 https://image.nostr.build/4f31c8be0479f91e3ae6f07140737cb993a196fb5151d9605f3c32b585e56cc5.jpg npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Appropriateness is subordinate to effectiveness. I’ve never had to do it with my kids but can see that it would probably have been effective with one and ineffective with the other. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga 😂 npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga * order of magnitude better obviously lmao npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga My local monthly meetup is an order of scale better imho. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga 🧨 100% npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga https://m.primal.net/IMaj.png npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga https://m.primal.net/ILQT.png https://netzpolitik.org/2024/internes-protokoll-belgien-will-nutzer-verpflichten-chatkontrolle-zuzustimmen/ npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga GM https://m.primal.net/IJsY.jpg npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I'm either one or the other depending on the time of the day. Quite the roller coaster 😁 npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga https://m.primal.net/HuNG.png npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Great initiative! Unfortunately, the financial part will only really work at scale, when many more people are on Nostr. As of today, it's good for content creators to be here and build a community, but the zaps are not enough to leave other big censored platforms. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Agreed. I guess human power dynamics can't be fully eliminated from a value-exchange system. Trust minimization is the best we can expect. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga What does prevent us from similar dramas in the future? Internal power play, purposefully intensified by states that want to weaken bitcoin, remains my main concern for the future of bitcoin. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Bacon x 24 npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga The smell of fear npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Come for the nostriches, stay for the revolution npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Let's focus on the one whose actions are currently more damaging for the world. I'd slap Trudeau for sure. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Maniac zapfest npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I fully agree with that statement. My point was about “that’s why they want to totally destroy…”, ie the conspiratorial tone of your post. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga You are overestimating their strategic and operational abilities by a wide margin. But, by all means, stay fit, stay healthy, stack sats, use critical thinking. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga not sustainable, just like fiat npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I’m a bitcoin boomer, but if I were a millennial that’s exactly how I’d be thinking npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Statements like this made in a vacuum are not useful. You always have to compare to the alternative, not to an idealistic leader that doesn’t exist. And taking that into account he’s way better than Salvadoreans have ever seen. Also, don’t judge from afar, go there and talk to people. Basic security is worth more than democracy to most people. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga That Windows 95 in the video is booting way way too fast in comparison with the real thing 😉 I had the same setup at work and at home, though not even with 32Mb RAM. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Same here. Between 2017 and 2020, I offered many of my friends 50€ btc in a wallet on their phone. To many of them I packaged that with the Little Bitcoin Book or the Bitcoin Standard. Of all these people, 20% still has their seed phrase and can access their corn, 5% read the book (literally takes 1 hour) and 3% have bought more and kind of learned a bit but couldn’t explain bitcoin ELI5. Say what you want, unless you live in a country with high inflation or you’re paranoid about an overreaching state, it’s hard to get people hooked by anything else than speculation. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga started in 2015, peaked in 2020 npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga GM nostriches! Let’s Fucking Goooooo! https://m.primal.net/HiGz.jpg npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Welcome Yevgeny! npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga frankly, it wasn't that bad. I remember at Adopting Bitcoin in El Salvador in Nov 22, right at the bottom, people were happy nevertheless. Nobody was talking about the price, everybody was talking about the fundamentals. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I started that 4 years ago. I said if they want to save a small part of their allowance in sats, they send me a msg anytime in the month stating how much btc they want to buy at what price and as a reward, I double that amount. I have made a shared google spreadsheet showing the cumulated amount of sats they own, how much that's worth in € currenty, and importantly it also shows how much they missed over time by not asking and how much that's worth. Results so far: - my daughter (21) has asked every month and has a sizable amount. She is markedly "long term preference" - my son (19) has been asking only a few times when btc price is high and it flashes on tiktok. Over the past weeks, I've shown him how much he has lost by not asking. At current price, it's almost a 5-figure amount. He's bleak and can't stand the "injustice". lol. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga not much so far, only an ex-gf I orange pilled 3 years ago texting yesterday that she can't find her seed phrase. lol. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga thanks, very interesting read ! npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Today I see this new analysis revealing what Russian intelligence services have discovered by looking at weapons delivery to Ukraine from European countries. The bottom line is: a) at the current speed of weapons production, we could only deliver sufficient weapons to Ukraine by 2025! b) at the speed we are giving away our stockpile, we'll need 15 years to resupply! Obviously this is coming from Russian intelligence and should be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, it seems directionnally correct. This is a serious counterweight to the idea that this war is depleting only Russian forces. It is depleting supplies on both sides but Russia has probably prepared itself much better since 2014. https://www.intelligenceonline.fr/renseignement-d-etat/2024/02/12/munitions-europeennes--le-svr-livre-ses-conclusions-sur-les-capacites-de-production-alliees,110157230-art npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga don't forget keet.io npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga yup, same here https://m.primal.net/HcHd.png npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga this is certainly a fair take. I don't have a good answer apart that maybe if 60% of Russian forces are eliminated, Putin really sees an interest in ending this war rapidly as long as he can paint it as a victory internally. But I agree this might be wishful thinking after witnessing how obsessed he is with his version of history. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I'm no expert but I'd imagine that either they go all-in with a trillion USD to win the war or they stop sending weapons and sit at the table. There's no use sitting between chairs. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga Looks like next difficulty adjustment is needed https://m.primal.net/HbrM.png npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga you're right that it's not the same objective. By all means it caught mu attention anyway, I'm here answering you during breakfast. And I'm sure mu kids could use that book 😀 npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga i agree with karnage. Imho the message feels so carefully crafted that it lacks spontaneity...and punch. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga I'm older than you and can only recommend buckweat pillows. Was a phenomenal improvement for me. Been using it for 10+ years. npub1a6gj7dkl04lsd4t2ny9rzmpwtrtme9rm26xlprj3j0gz9e50k0vsc6u28f KaliYuga my 2 takeaways: - the idea is not watching to check whether Putin is gaslighting the audience or not, you're watching to gauge to understand the vision of an important world leader and to understand how cognizant he is. - Putin seems to let the door open for a negociated peace. It's unclear if that's sincere but people in the West might question a bit more whether their govs are really trying to end the conflict.
