You don't need txindex to index the blockstream-electrs fork since it reads from the block files directly. Does mempool still require it? I though it was using electrs and its own db for all api requests.

The lie that was told and everyone believed without a fight is that when you purchase something from a store based in another state, complete the sale there, and then send the product to yourself that it somehow means you bought something from your home state. Completely insane. Nothing about the sale is conducted in the buyer's remote state.

You're arguing that the tailors of the emperors new clothes did not defraud the emperor. UTXOs do not move. FIFO satoshi accounting is not contained in the transaction. None of this is the reality of a bitcoin transaction. It's an imaginary system on top of the communication and with that comes implied meaning.
If a majority are convinced that the emperors clothes do exist, then you are forced to respect the clothes or face a beheading.

It's all imaginary nonsense, though. You can't sell a utxo. You might sell the service of signing a utxo encumbrance, but it ceases to be a utxo the moment miners agree it should be spent. A utxo doesn't move, and neither does a satoshi. Accepting a "lense" by which to imagine satoshis are moving between parties is dangerous. It's not a reality, but enemies of bitcoin would like for it to be the commonly held belief about how bitcoin works. There is no FIFO accounting in bitcoin, but enemies would like there to be.

It's not okay to sell a claim that isn't true. Satoshis don't move. Enemies of bitcoin desire there to be a commonly followed system of provenance which pretends that they do move, and I'm not talking about ordinal or inscription enjoyers.

Governments' misuse or misunderstanding of the word "wallet" when referring to bitcoin truly demonstrates the incompetence of lawmakers. They would rush new regulations without regard to the impact a poorly worded law might have. I know that many might lean on "spirit of the law", but in this case I can't begin to imagine the scope of "spirit of the law". Would they really make it a crime to store a list of secrets? Perhaps, but only when it's gift wrapped in fancy wording.

Unpopular opinion, but Dune 1984 was better.
While the new adaptation was entertaining and a very well executed production, details that made the story cool and intriguing seemed to have been sanitized out. I don't know why the writers did this. My guess is it was an attempt to simplify the story and universe to make it more approachable to a mainstream audience. Of course David Lynch would never have stooped to that level, and perhaps that's why his adaptation is disliked.
I often hear criticism of Lynch's Dune that he added things that weren't in the book. But this new adaptation removed so many important things that were in the book to the point of completely changing character motivations. Lynch really did not add that much, and things that were added could be argued as unimportant or merely a way to adapt a concept for screen.

The reputation and information angles aren't convincing me they are sufficient for fraud prevention. Fraudsters are liars. They can lie about who they are and commit the act again.
