If you're not regularly feeling uncomfortable or offended, you're probably trapped in a bubble that is inhibiting your personal growth!

Technically he should, yes.
But I'd only give it like a 20% chance that the authorities do jack. He's made a mockery of the courts in 3 countries thus far without consequences.
I'm in the gym, pumping my physical muscles with iron and between sets I'm pumping my mental muscles dunking on Craig cultists.
BSV shills haven't a clue how amusing it is to piss them off. They hurl their best (idiotic) insults my way and I just laugh.
They don't realize that I've been swarmed by actual Bitcoin cyberhornets on many occasions and am now immune to their pinpricks.
I mostly poke fun at Mastodon, but something interesting happened last week that got me thinking. I received several messages via the protocol that I needed to update my instance to patch a vulnerability.
How did this happen? My instance publicly lists my Mastodon handle as being the admin, so folks could scan the Fediverse of instances for unpatched versions and message their admins.
Last week I was researching Bitcoin node versions and how long it takes operators to update. I realized that the average time to update is increasing over the years. My suspicion is this is a result of more hobbyist node operators who aren't technical and are running a user friendly plug and play node. So they are less likely to be checking the node for updates.
Point being, nostr seems like a great solution for the notification problem. Imagine if you could paste your npub into node / any other server software upon installation. The server could generate its own private key and establish an encrypted DM channel with you. Then whenever an update is available, you could be notified in your nostr client.
Voila, secure and decentralized update notifications for server admins!

If a chain split would only cause a divergence between a really old client version and a recent client version, but nobody runs the really old version, has the chain even split?

Turns out it's the SatoshiVM scam. Fuckers are running a scam on testnet! 🤡

Elevators in high rise buildings should use LIDAR or similar tech to continuously scan the interior to determine how much capacity is available. If the elevator is near capacity, it shouldn't stop at floors being requested by new passengers.
That's better than nothing but it would fail to account for situations where someone is moving large lightweight items that take up tons of floor capacity.
I'm interested in the intersection of technological acceleration and its effects upon society.
The most interesting issues arise at the extremes, which is why I explore the uncomfortable contentious topics.
To be clear, I tagged the IMAGES as sensitive, not the note itself. Perhaps that doesn't work the way one would expect? Sounds like a question for @Vitor Pamplona
Right, I flagged the images as sensitive rather than the note. Sounds like there's a mismatch in expectations.
I suspect from what we've seen happen on other social networks, followers are incredibly sticky and even if someone goes insane, they won't meaningfully lose much of the attention directed toward them.
Indeed, which is why censorship resistance is so important: you never know where the scale will tip when the powers that be can arbitrarily decide to censor content.
Watching "Break Point" and these tennis superstars are complaining that they have to avoid social media because people say mean things that make them doubt themselves.
Never would have guessed that world champions are so psychologically soft.
It seems that a recurring theme when exploring the edges of freedom of speech is that many folks believe that since speech can influence the thoughts and actions of those who consume it, we should consider second and third order effects of speech to be harm for which the original speaker is responsible.
I don't see how anyone can fit that concept into a workable framework that doesn't devolve to the point at which saying mean or critical things is equated to violence because hurting someone's feelings is harmful.
The short version is that what happens in cyberspace is distinct from what happens in meatspace.
When I've received threats in cyberspace I'll take my firearms out of the safe and pay closer attention to my surveillance system, but I can't actually shoot anyone unless they physically approach me.
If generated nude images of young people who don't exist should be illegal, how would you objectively classify it as child porn? Since the subjects in the image don't have birthdays...
Abnormal number of requests for testnet bitcoin lately so I started questioning if folks are developers.
One person said they needed it for an airdrop.
WTF?
Turns out it's the SatoshiVM scam. Fuckers are running a scam on testnet! 🤡
