Primal web client on Firefox on Manjaro Linux. Primal loads so slowly and uses so much bandwidth that every other thing I'm doing in other tabs and other browsers goes down. For example I'm watching a Twitch stream on 160p in an entirely different browser (Brave) and when I open primal, the Twitch stream goes down. Primal has become slower over time. Upgraded from DSL to Starlink and see noticable improvements on every website except primal.
Lately there's been some sort of anti-vtuber hate raid going across multiple platforms. The malicious actors were successful in abusing the DMCA reporting system to get BOTH of ironmouse's YouTube channels terminated. I pray for justice and a new system where this can't happen.

I had an Ender 3 and it was a huge pain in the ass. Too much configuring and tweaking to get a quality print. Yeah I did get some fantastic prints but there's an insane level of maintenance required. IDK what is good but I would not get another Creality.
yeah yeah I get it now. But it's not like its theoretically impossible, the app devs just dont want to do the work. And I get that too, because delegation is so uncommon that it doesnt make sense to hack in the solution.
I get it, I yield, RIP NIP-26.
Now it seems like everyone is pushing some sort of agenda. And being the impressional young man I am, I get caught up in that and start to believe that that's what I need to do too.
Just listened to JRE #1691 with Yeonmi Park, a woman who narrowly escaped North Korea (NK) with her mother.

What an incredible story of relentless fighting for survival. In NK, the lower classes are starving to death. Average height is 4'6" because people are so mal-nourished. The government doesn't even let villagers collect their own poop to use as crop fertilizer; instead the government collects the poop to nourish their own crops. Hospitals re-use needles on patients, operate without anesthesia and death is as normalized as breathing air.
I've watched videos about how NK is "impossible" to escape nowadays, because the border is manned by armed guards with shoot to kill orders and many of the surrounding countries will immediately deport refugees back to NK.

Production flying cars are a thing now. Essentially a scaled up quadcopter with a bunch of safety redundant systems. Joby, Jetson ONE, BlackFly, XPeng, etc. etc. etc.
Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL)

Imagine what a well-funded, motivated Bitcoin billionaire could do. Set up a fleet of EVTOL aircraft to autonomously swarm North Korea and land in sparsely populated areas. With the cockpit open, any willing participant can jump in and escape to South Korea where they can start a new life.

The flight plan could keep low to avoid radar. A fleet of autonomous craft, some unoccupied can act as decoys and protect the ones that are occupied. Smaller DJI type drones could act as sacrificial shields against incoming projectiles.

What's that, people don't want to leave NK because they're brainwashed? Make this a regular thing that happens once a year on a random day. Then once a week on a random day. Then every day until every last North Korean is exfiltrated from the concentration camp country. More robots and more autonomy means human defenders will eventually lose stamina and let down their guard; Robots never tire.

I think he knows the value of Bitcoin. But he also knows public relations and he doesn't want to appear as an energy consuming hippocrite to the TSLA holding masses who don't know any better.
so sick! recently I purchased a NUC and had so many issues with it that I'm thinking of returning it and getting one of these. I learned framework laptops can be purchased as parts and assembled into a desktop rather than a laptop! I love that company!
YAMAHA's logo is largely unchanged since 1918. It's visually intricate, yet simple. Three overlapping tuning forks arranged in a radial array. Looks great, but how would those tuning forks sound? I always wonder what frequency they would produce. What do you think? https://m.primal.net/KRKL.pnghttps://youtu.be/Ap65Nkn1jSM?t=17
I wish nitter wasn't dead.
Yeah it's still mildly usable. You can use it with a burner account and you can do some light browsing. You're going to get throttled pretty quick unless you have dozens of throwaway accounts.
But it's not thriving like it once was, and that makes me sad.
Thank god for #nostr
I'm building an X to Nostr bridge. I want to use NIP-26 delegation to get permission to publish kind:1 events on user's behalf.
After reading and writing some test code, I realize that the delegator (the user) needs to generate a schnorr (BIP340) signature using their private key (nsec.)
I don't think any Nostr browser extensions can do that. Nostr browser extensions are designed to sign events, not sign NIP-26 delegation tokens.
This sucks for my project because I was hoping to generate a NIP-26 delegatee key that has permissions to post as the delegator, but doesn't require that I custody to the user's master key.
I think it's still doable, but I'll have to give instructions to the user and they have to come up with the signature so my app can post as them.
Unless there's a better way?
