I mean, I realize I can't completely avoid election nonsense. This is the internet after all, But for some reason I seem to hold people on nostr in higher regard, and then I see everyone falling for political nonsense. Ita disillusioning a bit.  

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but its cute as fuck sometimes.  

 Worth it though.  

 fingers crossed I just found a workaround that opens up the command prompt and lets me do it manually  

 Fn+shift+f10 then OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the coand prompt just worked for me.  

 Le sigh. Read the og post. I explain it. Tldr: dual boot for music.  

 Well then I'm glad I didn't fully update then I guess, even though I thought my computer updated a few times. 😅 

 I guess Microsoft really doesn't want you to make an offline local account on Windows anymore. This is so aggravating.

 I tried Bitwig for a while, and it's a decent daw. I just, I don't know, can't get over Ableton for whatever reason.  

 Debian. Debating though on sticking with KDE for my desktop environment or going back to GNOME. 

I played around with budgie for a little while, but I don't think I like it. 

 Ive have been using KDE for a while, and I like it overall, but I really like the way that GNOME handles dynamic workspaces. 

 Because self-perclaimed benevolence always gives you confidence. 😂 

 Hard disagree on the leader's point, but to each their own. 

 Pretty much what I've been doing in the past five years or so.

 If I could trade in one that doesn't have such a messed up back, I'd be so game. 😂 

 There are parts of e-cash that I like. Like you, I think it's cool tech. Privacy is a neat feature as well.

Beyond that, I don't really think it solves any problems. Because, again, as you pointed out, it's a rug factory. You have to rely on another custodian. And if most people are using lightning custodially, then they're relying on another layer of custodians to not rug them. 

I'm not sure exactly how it would happen, but it would be neat to see cashu as a pure layer 2 and not as a layer 3 sitting on top of lightning.   

 I kind of feel the same way, despite my extremely anti-government tendencies. I do think voting at least on the local level can affect change. 

And I've always voted even if it was just a write-in because I always felt like not voting was a cop-out in some way. Like you're not participating in the system so you don't really have a say. Even if not voting is a protest because you don't agree with how corrupt and fucked up the system is currently. It's an argument that I can completely understand. 

It would be really interesting to see some law in the U.S. form about votes of no confidence or voter threshold turnouts like if a certain threshold doesn't turn out or if there's enough votes of no confidence then elections will have to be ran over again until either enough people participate or somebody legitimately wins.  

 Damn. Amen to this. Been on the fence about voting. I dont think im going to vote this year.  

 I'm still on the fence here. Federally, I don't believe voting makes much of a difference. I still feel that voting locally can actually change things. At least you see the consequences of local voting more directly.

 There's no way in fuck I am voting for a narcissistic cunt like Trump.
And you're a genuine retard if you think he's actually going to free Ross. 

 Sorry for the harsh words but I'm Extremely sick of people who believe politicians and their campaign promises. 

 Says the one falling for the false dichotomy of a left vs right choice. 

 Not very subtle, if so. 😂 

 Oh, I definitely think it's almost coffee break time. 

 Luckily there's a place within a couple minute walk where I can get a halfway decent breve. Forces me to step away from the computer for a little bit, too. 😅 

 Sat spot 
Hash brew 
Bit and bean 
Relay roast 
Chain press 
Block brew  

 Fresh rss mabey?  

 Of course, the one Monday they have me scheduled to work. 

 Would slurp  

 Just a usb and about 60 seconds. Logs would still show up though so they would need to have some persistent way to log in remotely and delete logs. 

 This was the project im refering to.

https://samy.pl/poisontap/ 

 Ah yeah. I knew it dident work with https. I was not aware of newer browser countermeasures, hence why I said it's probably not a valid project anymore. 

 Unfortunately, the website business is not making enough money regularly for me to be able to quit comfortably. Fuck.  

 Also, I guess in all fairness, I knew this job was going to be temporary. And even though I like working here for the most part, when I got hired, I had a very specific conversation with the kitchen manager telling them I do not care which days I work, but I need consecutive days off in a row to be able to manage my other business. I made it very clear that this restaurant was not my primary job.  

 Yeah, I'm not just gonna out and out, cut and run, but if we can't come to some sort of amicable agreement, then I'm just gonna have to move on. 

 So I guess just to expand on this a little bit more and kind of to vent in the void because I am genuinely a bit confused. Feel free to ignore.

My roommate, who I love to death, we are pretty different politically in a lot of ways. But We've had pretty long conversations on how even if we don't necessarily agree on a path to a solution, we definitely both acknowledge there's something extremely fucked up about our current political system and the problem is coming from both Democrats and Republicans.

What genuinely confuses me Is that, despite his acknowledgement of these political problems, He still votes along party lines, primarily Democrats. His reasoning comes directly from mainstream media. Today we were talking and he said he's not voting for Trump. He's voting for Kamala, which is fine. He can vote however he wants. But his reasoning was that Trump was a fascist, whos supported by Nazis, and Kamala actually cares about human rights.

And even though I'm not a fan of Trump myself, I'm not out there calling him a fascist, and if you look at Kamala's track record when she was a DA and now as a vice president, her actions prove that she doesn't give a shit about human rights. It's literally just party talking lines that she spews out. 

So what genuinely confuses me is that even though someone is aware that these problems, how can they still adhere to party lines and vote blindly Just because the other side is "bad". 

Hence the whole, you can lead a horse to water but not make them drink a comment. Blech. Politics are fucking stupid.

 I love those old locks.  

 That library room is incredible. Every house should have one imo. 😅 

 Some of those Hawaiian shirts look nice. 

 Lmao what the fuck. 😂 

Alas I am not.  

 I mean, you should throw any iPhone in the ocean immediately. 😂 

I know it exists, there is a signing app analogous to amber for iOS. But it's not the ecosystem I'm in, so I'm forgetting the name right now and it's making it hard to find. 

 It's a good thing he disclosed it. It definitely makes Coracle a bit more trustable in my mind knowing that even in the case of a mistake it will be disclosed.

Definitely reinforces the fact that you should never raw dog your private key into any application, no matter what. I don't really think most people do that nowadays, but its a good reminder.

 Technically so did Amethyst, it was just via Google and the Play Store.  

 On my stock Samsung tablet though, it seems to work pretty well. 

 Oh, weird. I log in through amber on my tablet and I get notifications. 

 It's kind of weird, they don't show up in the app for me, but they definitely show up as a push style notification. 

 I mean, that's arguably the most important part, so I don't really care that the app doesn't show notifications inside the app yet.  

 Definitely a fantastic start.  

 Running pokey.

 I used to be a pretty avid runner. I know the first couple days are definitely the fucking worst. 

 The LXMF address.
