ah, that explains why the sky was so bright last night 

 gates ripped off qdos, ripped off windows, microsoft is like the amazon of software, they do everything, just non-shitty enough to ... as they elquently describe it "embrace, extend, extinguish"

i am not grateful to gates for making contracts with hardware manufacturers to ONLY write firmwares and drivers for windows... at all, in fact i think such a contract should be considered a conspiracy 

 the complexity of ther message structure alone should be enough, combined with the lack of real community participation 

 i've written a fair bit of code interacting with bluesky, in #golang if that's what you will be using maybe it will help (and i'm happy to natter about the ins and outs of what i discovered while learning it) 

 then this might help you:

https://github.com/Hubmakerlabs/hoover

it also has code for farcaster 

 "lol, this is a piss" 

 i'd only alter that:

nostr + zaps + auth = healthy ecosystem of decentralised business and volunteer based communities 

 portugal also has a pretty strong "council" (junta) influence too, as does italy... france it's unions, which leans more to communism but it's on a continuum 

 IMO we can do nothing and bitcoin will be fine

at this point, if the Core devs bend over to the many suitors wishing to ream them then there WILL be a bitcoin classic, aka, not a fork, the original, and this will be where the mass of userbase (as in businesses) will be pig-headed (for economic reasons) and stick with it

i think people on X and people in the general world outside of the unbiased feed of #nostr are funneled into panic mode about everything and guess what

that's the first thing a gypsy hustler does to you, try to induce panic

first thing you do to win against this shit?

 also it's really simple to write a static analyser on the ASTs of parsed code to identify when there is a path where a vector or interface type (they are related in the way they are dual indirections) may have a zero value and demand a nil guard somewhere between the declaration and usage where it would be panic condition 

 doesn't everyone?

but if you got circulation problems it's ... well... idk... time to consider a a diet change 

 you know about my light ortholinear mech keyboard and dvorak etc right? 

 i generally don't have the cold problem but if it is that cold yeah i have trouble typing, my cadence is all broken

what i have more problem with is pain especially joint and tips of my fingers 

 fear of the partner straying, thanks to a climate of promiscuity 

 it's actually a recurring phenomenon across the ages... in the late 19th century, russia was having its' "free love" time, and the very ❤️ symbol itself actually originates from a time in rome, this represents a leaf of a plant that stimulates abortion (not sure, maybe it's actually rivea corymbosa, aka morning glory, the leaf shape is the same)

humans keep falling for the same shit over and over again, i'm sure if you wanted to do a really deep historical survey you can find times where the fad of "free love" arose over and over again and find the same kind of scum, possibly even historically connected scum promoting it 

 cult of satan 

 yep, KYC, the first step to national social media score punishments like house arrest, city arrest, country arrest, freezing of assets, and other fun stuff that totalitarians love 

 i already suffered under this shit by having my top 1% intellectual abilities hobbled by my bottom 1% supply of fucks about obeying self declared authorities in my last year of highschool... which cost me being able to get into a CS degree

and i really drove the nails home on this one, i was the one they pinned a prank involving a parody document that specifically lampooned their social credit system (i merely cheered it on, gave some small feedback and did some of the distribution work in fact) and of course all the tyrannical bitches in the school administration and teachers had it in for me after that one

i left australia because of that whole experience, followed up with another 15 years of being obstructed from gaining meaningful employment, and starting my own business as a freelancer

then i arrive in bulgaria, run out of money, and i'm in a job 2 weeks later

after thousands of applications and all that 15 years trying to get off welfare

no way i would live in that shithole

australia is one of the most advanced fabian socialist systems in the world, up there with Israel and the UK 

 partially self funded... building robust and efficient infrastructure

while many stack sats, i stack working tested code 

 > The Fed’s balance sheet is back at August 2020 levels. Yes, you read that right. While bitcoin is partying like its “money printer go brr” time, the Fed’s balance sheet shows the exact opposite.

yeah but how much of the curent USD supply was added in 2020?

the dollars aren't everything, they flowed out into gold, platinum, uranium, stonks, real estate, and now they are going back into bitcoin

people aren't stupid

the dollar should be ~half the market cap of everything but it's almost always much more and then other things become media of exchange 

 oh man... that game is so awesome... two best sim games of all time: populous and settlers

i don't think sims have really surpassed them in the time since (nearly 40 years) 

 the reds are so obstructed in their ability to think by this idea that any politician is not a tyrant

hello! biden was a tyrant
trump was and will be a tyrant
politicians = tyrants

they are empowered most fundamentally by byzantine systems of delegation of a democratic vote that does not place any stake upon the decisions assented to by the voters, or by their delegates (representatives), and these systems have been fundamentally coopted by media corporations with their government licenses and funded by the banks whose most fundamental power - to pick and choose economic winners, and thus punish those who oppose their interests...

what they do understand, however, is that inventing technology is a key tool to breaking the injustice of an establishment

that's why i'm here doing things on Nostr and why for my paid gig i work on federated database systems (aka shitcoin blockchains) 

 democracy literally means people power

it's about violence not judgement

there is no formal ideology for justice, it's just "kritos"

the marketing for democracy is about it being efficient by making rules to pre-judge a case, yet if it was really justice we could challenge every law and every law could not be only validated by the mere assent of the representatives, via delegation, the law should have to derive its merit based on established principles, at the base 

 democracy can only work when the value of the property being decided on is held by those who have a vote, and their vote power is in proportion with the value (relative to the whole, the commonwealth)

neither parliamentary democracy nor modern, secular liberal democracy are valid applications of democracy because the main point is about stake... when you have none, your vote having a nonzero value means you can vote to have property reassigned to you, ex nihilo

the "greatness" of america was based on the right of ownership of property, and the voters were solely those who owned property, but even then it was weak, because they summarised the relative value, so you could get a vote out of a few square yards of dirt and make decisions about things that would affect those with thousands of times more

the only form of democracy existing in the modern world that actually follows the original principle is the votes of shareholders, and even there, the delegation of vote power to delegates is a dangerous step that requires a complicated process of disbarring a delegate and allowing reassignment of the vote power to a more preferred delegate

without stake, democracy is just a mob of violent people shouting 

 if i were to propose what i think would work as a government system it would be based on the UTXOs you control

you cast votes based on those utxo secret keys and it would be impossible to cheat it

since the money represents 50% of the economy, the stack you have reflects your power in the economy to move it to a different configuration, and this is more important than any other subjective value that would ultimately be denominated by its proportion of the total amount of sats held by people in that space

the only thing that would be required to make it work is a proof of geographical location with a zero knowledge proof, to protect your actual location... that's the hard part of how it would work... you could then make proposals that map over a geography arbitrarily and those who have claims in those zones would have the right to decide on ratifying them

i'm sure that this is much what will eventually come to be but it will take time for the need of it to become clear i think 

 not possible to just add label? what a clown show...
nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqtzr3q3ylhx4pujw209tnw4y4ds97zr7stz9sup4qunfpuenxy9fqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qpq7st5utskxq8vqxqmq6esgjkwm8mf807kk2jsdhd40l5y5vk2ng3qmffh3j 

 as an aside, while i got some issues with stuff about this work, it's work, first of all, and secondly, Move, the language of Sui and Aptos are basically languages with a lot of syntactical and project structure similarities to Go (packages, mains)

they have a far reduced set of basic data types (basically unsigned integers and strings) and 

use tuples in almost exactly the same way, with a bit more braces than Go

they don't have objects \o/ fucking hate objects and

the only thing that i still hate about it is all the generic syntax, because if they'd used compositional structuring it would be a lot less verbose (the number of times you have to repeat <TopLevel<Instance>> throughout the code to make a thing generic is sad

still, my point here is that i'd rather code in Move than Rust, C++, Javascript, any day without question, if I can't work with #golang  

the good news is, aside from actually learning how to work with the blockchain crap of Sui and Aptos, i should be moving on from working with Move at the level of managing and completing a port from Sui to Aptos, and then building a middleware, or, basically, "gateway" server, which essentially acts as a cache and shim between the front end interface parts of the system and offloads the replication from the front end so that one front end can interact with multiple back ends (ie, smart contract blockchains)

which means after a month or two of working with Move i'll be able to move back to what i prefer, which is Go, and get paid good for it... and hopefully as the bull proceeds i may even get a pay rise next year

 probably really drunk... when people are drunk they just bend and flex to whatever you put them on and very often they get far less injuries 

 yeah, it's quite interesting to watch video of incidents like this at low speed to see exactly how they roll with it... there is also a mental discipline with it, though alcohol helps it... it even talks about this simplification of reaction in the writings of Chuang Tzu about how drunk people are more natural than when sober, and there is the fable of the Taoist Butcher and the story of ... i forget who it was, but it is something of an initiation ritual for Taoism to float to a waterfall and to learn to let go in that same way

a lot of words to say...

if you practise chi gong and stuff like Ba Gua Zhang and Systema (russian martial art a lot like aikido and ju jitsu) training yourself to crumple and relax in the face of a strike is really powerful to protecting you automatically

before i had even done 10 lessons of Systema, for me the iconic training session of Systema at the beginning is the solar plexus punch soak training... basically, you get a partner, and you face up together so they are in perfect reach, if you don't move, to land a hard punch right on the middle of your sternum, possibly one of the most painful places to get punched maybe just a little less than the funny bone on the elbow... and you learn to take it, not the actual impact, but to arch your back and bring your shoulders and head forward so the peak force of the punch misses you and you basically at most feel a bit of a bump

this, for me, was a really good lesson in letting go in the face of a collision with something, and i have trained it and when i am in a better state of mind i find it very easy to do, i rarely strip over anything, i rarely bruise myself on things i didn't see 

 ah yeah, it probably saved me from a broken bone a few months ago when i came off an electric bicycle going down a way too steep concrete "caminho" near my place... i think i got off with one ding in my knee where there was a small compression in my kneecap 

 yeah, ntfs sucks

it's really not that far ahead of linux in quality but man the linux kernel and gnome guys are botching it bad in recent years 

 the most clear deficiency of ntfs can be seen when you are copying (either reading OR writing) large volumes of source code or small files... ext4 is like 100x or more faster at reading and writing small files, it's completely out to lunch how bad windows ntfs is

and then you have the issue of the bad implementations for linux, which no coincidence due to the design of the structure also are bad at large numbers of small files (and no amount of tuning the block size makes a stick of difference) 

 it can be done on linux using woeusb

it's complicated because it's gotta be either ntfs and uefi, or exfat and MBR

my advice is to try ventoy 

 also, don't try to mess with changing the filesystem, there is voodoo in there... best to move partitions around or copy them across (ie, make one big enough to fit then use DD to dump it onto the partition

windows does tolerate being moved about, but not simple copies, the filesystem holds magic sauce 

 yeah, ventoy is super handy 

 haha...

nah there's no free speech at x, only an algorithm keeping you agitated 

 that's because you aren't using it for discussions... unfortunately the fact is that is kinda necessary still... idk if you've used meetup but it's awful ... and bitcoiners at large are still not warmed up to nostr even though most of us are bitcoiners 

 i was digging in the dirt tonight... it was nice... like ...

incidentally, i'm some kind of asexual drone on fiat food, but as soon as i start eating real meat regularly i turn into an animal 

 yeah, the mind doesn't have energy without the body

it's really making a difference... maybe soon i will start to see other things start to improve finally

i know one thing for sure, i've almost beaten the peripheral neuropathy and muscle weakness 

 the beef, of course

i also observed this with goat but it wasn't nearly as tasty... if i could get my hands on a goat hind quarters and cut it up just right it would probably be equally good... the thing is what they feed em on, pretty sure this beef is grass fed, and the goats just prefer ... well, not even just grass, but whatever is poking out of the ground 

 possibly maybe there could be one such shop on this whole island but it's really not a big place... 300k people live here, last time i lived in a place this many people was Novi Sad and that isn't exactly a big place either

anyway, i can actually get whole goats if i ask around, the bigger problem i have is finding someone who knows how to cut them up properly 

 being called a philosopher is like being called a great artist

they only do it after you are dead 

 sailing across the atlantic doesn't require very advanced ships, for a start 

 UPGRADE 

 Citadels are the thing.

They used to call them monasteries and we're the center of rural Europe between the Italian and Turkish empires. 

 Odysee is also popular I think 

 I thought yous said "can I date your finance bot?" 

 i should just point out you seemed to ask permission to stay up late too 

 lol

C is perfection, D is ... luxury 

 women are a majority in a system where there is constant war because the men are being slaughtered

this is why there is this gender imbalance in russia, and the chinese instituted the one child policy with the context of the cultural meme of having sons to try and correct that... but that's the end result of pure totalitarian states. too many women, and they are the most pliable to nonsensical demands of democratic politics 

 i think that eyes are the most beautiful part of all animal bodies, except maybe ugly ones like flies and wasps, they give me trypophobia... but my point being that this "she has nice eyes" thing really just means you want to connect to them emotionally

almost any other part of the anatomy is kinda wonky in most cases but eyes tend to be 99% perfection in almost all cases... except for evil people, where you see nothing in them except the abyss 

 stop using rust

if it's pure go, there's no need to do any bullshit, it makes .exe files... WOW64 or WIN32 at your choice 

 um, wait, you mean "for distribution on gay homo windows store?

cos nothing is stopping anyone from building .exe files and/or even building installers to place them into neat folders in a user's directory

all the permission required is

"administrator" 

 me too but i'm kinda stuck here for now 

 here is an example of what it all means

https://youtu.be/_YLqVD_MsgM 

 300 years in iceland until the catholic church pushed tithes on them... 9000 years in jericho, no signs of a centralised government or monarchy... and prior to Samuel in the bible there was no jewish king, only judges, decentralised, market based law 

 the most despicable aspect of the raising of time preference by interest on money... why it was forbidden in the Bible 

 it's the demand side doubled, this is principally why the bankers funded suffragettes and getting women the vote and all that... to double their tax cattle base

people would not do this without being pushed and coerced and lured into it though

women are not hunters, engineers, builders or farmers, they are at best teachers, managers, nurses, artists... it's only PR that drives this nonsense about the upwardly mobile yuppie woman business nonsense, and it's completely illogical

it only continues because people can't put together enough money for a house anymore, it's got to the point where a substantial proportion of the population have given up on it altogether, and not only are they not buying houses they arent't getting married or having children, except for the women using it as a way to stay on welfare, and that was already a thing by the 70s 

 i can't begin to emphasize enough the toxicity of most seed oils though... damaging your skin's ability to soak oxidative radicals and UV light is just one aspect of it, it also disrupts many other systems having this half-damaged garbage going in through the oil pathway of the intestines... it hurts your liver, your lungs, your eyes, everywhere there is fat, there is damage
