If you run a lightning node non-custodial is pretty good. If you use phoenix or similar LSP type setup the privacy is not very good.


Apple sucks


I think it is implemented in core lightning


Privacy is a human right.


Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.

Also I want to say that sand worms are not native to Arrakis but I could be wrong


Good comparison...Idk sure they are both sci fi / fantasy epics but I think LOTR has very strong hold on people and holds people back from appreciating different films


1. Spice on Arrakis is a parallel to oil in the middle east. Another point to this is that the technology is not really important to what Dune is about. The other thing is there are no computers/AI/thinking machines.

2. The Emperor is threatened by the Atreides for two reasons I think are mentioned in the movies. He is supposed to be jealous of Duke Leto, because he is a popular voice among the Houses and people admire him. The Atreides are also supposed to be great and loyal fighters and the book I believe describes Gurney Halleck and Duncan Idaho as some of the best fighters.

3. As far as everyone being miserable I don't really know how to respond. I think Frank Herbert was a cynical kind of person and I think that is reflective in the fact that everyone is vying for political power. Some just do it in different ways, Harkonnens are just violent, Bene Gesserit do their bloodline and body control training, etc.

4. As far as Paul beating Janis I think this is something in the book that was left out in the movie is that the Fremen are excellent at surviving the desert and knowing the desert better than the current occupants of Arrakis. They are not necessarily warriors at the beginning because if they were they would have already gained control of Arrakis. Meanwhile Paul has been highly trained by some of the best fighters in the universe.

5. As far as "angsty teenage edgelord boy" I just can't agree with that given he is having vivid visions of billions of people dying across the universe because he gains power. These visions are fueled by spice which is psychoactive and everywhere on Arrakis including in the food. As well as the worm poison which is highly concentrated spice so even more psychoactive.

6. When the Atreides left Arrakis they took everything including the atomics which all the houses have.

7. The Emperor comes easily because everyone has underestimated the Fremen and they are not aware that Paul is Muad'dib.

8. The ease with which the Emperor is defeated is two things I think. Frank Herbert does not do action very much in the books so it was up to Denis Villenueve to add in the action scenes. The other is that the Fremen in the book are trained by Paul and Jessica to become fighters. This is left out in the movies. Between that training and the hardened nature of their people having spent centuries on Arrakis, they are now the best fighters in the Imperium.

Final note: I don't think we have to compare anything to LOTR. Some people like magic fantasy land and some people like a cautionary tale about messianic figures and a cynical view of humanity in the future. Some people like both. Idk.


damus relay is alive, but it is suffering a bit of memory loss. I will try to upload a torrent of its previous brain.


I did not know how bad the car thing is. Just the past few days between the Toyota truck with no tech that is not able to come to the us. And the infrastructure bill has a section where your car can decide to stop operating if it thinks you are impaired.

good morning nostr, stay humble and stack sats 🫡


I have no followers lol


I think that record still existing means the coins are still kyc'd, they know that you have them somewhere


Primal is getting crazy good on iOS


Ecash gives you privacy from the mint and from other lightning users because lightning payments are made by the mint and that could be anyone. The thing with kyc is that even if you use a privacy tools like ln, ecash, or mixers such that the gov't may not know exactly where the coins are, they still have a record of you buying them and not selling them. You can't really un-kyc coins, you can only obfuscate where you currently hold them.


I think it’s more fore public event calendars than personal


grateful for the super humans on our side
