Getting ruby to work is a gigantic pain.  I think the whole Ruby module management system went off the rails a long, long, time ago.  (No pun intended.)


The meme-work makes the dream work.

In China, many social media users began using the meme "garbage time" (a sports terminology) to criticize the state of the economy.

As that meme grew here in 2024, China's central authorities began cracking down on it.

But many Chinese citizens are adept at moving around censorship. When desiring to criticize the current state of the Chinese economy, many of them will instead bring up historical examples of prior Chinese dynasties that made similar errors, and draw clear parallels to the present, while maintaining plausible deniability and difficulty of censorship.

Pretty interesting. My hat is off to the Chinese social media users working around top-down censorship with memes and historical analogies.

Back when ETH did the change to its money supply algorithm to be deflationary, a lot of people correctly pointed out that they can just change it again.

And they did, so now it's back to having a similar supply distribution rate as bitcoin, but with fewer reasons for anyone to want to hold it long term relative to bitcoin, and with more competition nipping at its heels than bitcoin.

"Take a look around, then, and see that none of the uninitiated are listening. Now by the uninitiated I mean the people who believe in nothing but what they can grasp in their hands, and who will not allow that action or generation or anything invisible can have real existence."


Latin American equities have had a big stretch of underperformance vs US equities, but since December 2021 they haven’t made a lower low on a total return basis.

One of the things I’m watching in macro land is whether there is some meaningful reversal here.

The combo of 1) lots of global capital stuffed into US capital markets and 2) a US rate cutting cycle, is a potential catalyst for serious multi-year capital rotation toward more global assets.

I'm kinda loving how the friction of getting on Nostr keeps out lazy people.
My feed here is full of posts from people who actually read, study, learn & think!  Very Refreshing!!!


It happened again.

Met this guy online in 2021. He came in as a shitcoiner. I helped him see the light with bitcoin.

During the bear market he was working insta cart in order to stack like crazy.

After a few years of hard work he had amassed 2-3 bitcoin.

Was super proud of this guy. He was on his way to changing his family tree. Then he fell for some runes meme token. Put his whole stack in. Even became leader of their meme coin army.

Is now promoting this scam token and promising returns to others. He’s already down significantly in bitcoin terms. Most likely scenario is that everyone involved with this thing is going to zero.

SAD.

Another one bites the dust. https://image.nostr.build/3f52bf002c7dbfc6b057d41705529f97d6a5a54128b680b03f2092585c5e56c1.jpg

ALL of the things measured from within a system that steals from you are designed to keep you in it.  Feeding on your energy and getting more chaotic and dangerous.

Prisoners dilemma of the highest order that most people as prisoners can’t see.

Hi everyone, thought it’s about time for a proper introduction here on Nostr!

My name is Riddy, I’m a photographer, sailor and surfer from Australia.

As a photographer, I’ve always felt slightly uncomfortable sharing my content on traditional social media. Largely because I don’t want to feed the beast but also because I know that my audience is being tracked and manipulated.

After listening to quite a few @Jeff Booth interviews, the message of putting your time and energy into the systems and networks you believe in hit home.

I’m not a developer /coder but I can contribute my photography to this growing community! Hoping to connect with other  creatives and artists out there ✌🏽

Cheers,
Riddy

Anybody watch the Netflix show Arcane?

I ignored it for years since video game adoptions into other media are rarely good.

But so far this is surprisingly solid.

He would come to St. Louis often, staying at the Chase Park Plaza. https://image.nostr.build/dda9c0783bb827be84892ea20dd88f7259aa2fbe072b60eae2d8cca7ed20d6bc.jpg


I don’t get it.

#Bitcoin price action is slight negative if people think Kamala Harris is going to win.

But wouldn’t you want Bitcoin if you think she’s an evil commie? Wouldn’t you want resistance money?

And if Trump wins, and you think he’s an evil fascist, wouldn’t you want resistance money?

I honestly feel so disconnect from these fiat games and politics with Bitcoin. Jesus, just buy Bitcoin not matter what! Stack it, hold it, save it, use it. It’s not rocket science. It will be good for you, no matter what your background or ideology is.


Surprisingly, Chester Bennington's (RIP) replacement by Emily Armstrong fulfills the same vibe in the lineup. Her screaming vocals capture a lot of the same sound and essence of Bennington. That was a surprisingly good pick.

With Mike Shinoda still doing major vocals and most other members still onboard, Linkin Park 2.0 is surprisingly continuous with Linkin Park 1.0, in my view.

Solid revival of a major band after a six-year semi-hiatus.


Wake up babe, new Linkin Park dropped.

What aspects do you enjoy most about your favorite sci fi or fantasy novels? Obviously it’s a mix of everything but what consistent themes do you find yourself returning to frequently?

To give an example, I tend to like complex and internally consistent magic systems or “hard magic” systems, eg Brandon Sanderson. He basically invents an alternative physics in a given series and there’s a whole set of stories around that.

I also put a lot of weight on complex characters, eg Game of Thrones. You know it’s good writing when someone can push a kid out of a window in the first episode and then somehow kind of make you almost like the guy later on.

If you don’t like sci fi and/or fantasy, what is it about the genre(s) that you dislike? And do you like one but not the other, or both or neither?


For me I think it's the idea that more can be possible in sci-fi & fantasy than in the mundane world. Explore a floating castle in the sky, fight with high-tech gizmos, ride a dragon, or whatever else.

At this stage in my lit journey, I prize good writing, which can be difficult to find. I'm currently slogging thru Wheel of Time, which has an interesting plot, but the editor needed to take a stronger hand in helping Jordan with his style. An exemplary set is Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles, but, alas, it STILL isn't done.

One thing I identify as good writing is a character who can make you laugh or cry. A book that can create emotion is a win for me. When Samwise says, "I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you," that's a line that stays with a generation of readers. Eragon's unrequited love of Arya seemed well done to me. Name of the Wind is absolutely chock full of emtional encounters with the main character as he makes friends and enemies.

Hey nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a, why can’t I zap from Aqua?

(Serious question. Is this a technical hurdle with liquid? Support on Damus’s end? On the roadmap?)

If I’m ever killed by a mountain lion, just know my last words were, “Here Kitty, Kitty!” #catstr


One of the perks of nostr is never seeing anyone claim that Elon Musk is Satoshi Nakamoto.


Expanding zaps to other platforms seems like a worthy objective. Lots of opportunity to layer it onto legacy social media.

Is anyone working on this?


I want a customizable algorithmic feed in addition to just a chronological feed of follows.
