 Killer record.

Gwen and Louis are high level artists doing amazing shit within a quasi pop medium (a delicate and skillful balance).

Definitely check the "Overtime" video on YT if you haven't already. 
 They released "Forever" on bandcamp only in a successful strategy to actually make some money last year (wasn't on streaming). 

Yeah, I bought that right away.

We need to get them on NOSTR and participating in #v4v. That would kick a row of dominoes down a flight of stairs in terms of ppl adopting it. 
 Started reading "Dilla Time" this week. Have always dound hip hop unappealing (focus on vocals / bravado culture etc) but have read books on its history because subcultures are super interesting. 

Heard quite a few Dilla beats as a result, and it's definitely some great stuff. 

Anyone know if there's a subgenre of no-vocal hip hop that isn't so wacky like Flying Lotus etc?

 Wasn't so long ago when NOSTR was just launched and already you can see the culture of it and its positivity growing strong. You love to see it.

I tend toward bemused detachment.

One day, when I am close to my lifespan age of 100, I can imagine a world in outright fiery choas pervading and greeting me at the doorstep. I will maintain composure and delight in the spectacle. "Wow, this certainly is incredible," I might think to myself. 
 Love the random things in my NOSTR.

 Alright, I'll check this out.

What I'm hoping to see eventually is a splinter network of genres develop, but what will really get that happening is when mid-tier and higher visibility artists make the switch and bring their fanbases. 

But for sure the underground and little names will have to develop in the more generalist show types first.

 It's sending sats & optional message (via lightning) to a #v4v rss feed like a podcast. Use Fountain or other podcast 2.0 enabled app.

It's amazing. Boosts get read on the following episode of lots of shows.

http://adam.curry.com/html/WhatIsPodcasting20-28mcN0CfHFRjZRpkjpSf56jDCkMjTb.html

So you can support and engage directly with an episode and its creators! 
 Zaps are a nostr thing.

Boosts are a v4v podcast thing.

Sort of the same process on different mediums. 

Boosting doesn't involve nostr, zappping is only on nostr. But both are sats on LN. 
 Yeah that's confusing. A lot of this stuff is poorly explained at times. You'll be explaining it to a normie someday 😃

 Visually manipulative, nonsensical, water-muddying propaganda. 
 All one needs to do is move the branches to make BTC into the straight downward line and to make the same point really. Also if you do that you show the multiplying cascade of contentious forks leading to less and less legitimacy. 
 I tend to agree unless for some reason you're constantly catching sight of it.

I am only in there to go to sleep or engage in some further bed messy-ing behavior.

 I have a documentary on his later years where he goes to a federal reserve bank (I think thats what it was) and is basically trying to get them to admit their printes money has the same validity of a series of bills he was mass producing as well. 

He was taken to court on serious charges several times in various countries as well.

If you want I can figure out a way to get a digital copy to you.

Personally I really like his hand drawn work a lot more than this era though. 
 More Bitcoiners should know about Boggs. His actions were a rare and wonderful challenge to waking people up to the reality of fiat. He put in the proof of work. 

Had he been able to link up with the cypherpunks I feel he would be as legendary as H Finney and could have given an aesthetic cohesion to what they were doing.

I need to re-read this one.

 Nice to see @Kanuto is here!

Very cool creations. 
 I just love NOSTR. I post whatever I want whenever a though strikes me. People are nice here. No algorithm-driven antics. Catch a laugh or a headline or bit of insight. 

Just a nice overall experience. 
 The Raven eats crow. But I'll hand it to him that he admits where he was off base. Seems to have been humbled (now he can stack sats).

 The measuring stick of UoA from $ to BTC is the last function of money which is to be achieved. SoV is fully established, MoE still in the sub 1% range. These two must precede before it is possible.

It will flip one day but it's definitely a hard transition to make mentally after a lifetime of using that old dirty rotting green dollar. 
 I can concur there.

 Used to, at the end of '19. Took the risk on their yield products (very favorable outcome) and considered getting a collateral backed loan for buying our home. SO glad I didn't do the second one.

I've heard but not comfirmed their droppimg of the collateral loans. Don't care now.

Pulled all funds at the first inklings of what befell FTX etc. They ended up ok in that debacle but the months of not holding some of my keys had been enough.

But I give up. 
 I found the instructions from Umbrel's docs. Yours are incomplete. Despite it working with one ID, it fails with the other.

404: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-browser-extension/wallet-connectors/connect-to-umbrel 
 Already too much time and effort lost on this. To continue would be succumbing to the fallacy of sunk costs.

If I can't send sats from my node it's not of huge importance to me, I was just pursuing the whim of it.

It would be more advantageous to others if the correction was made in plain view here versus "a call" since this is entirely about NOSTR. 

Plus I am loathe to deal with realtime synchronous electronic communication when your documentation is just plain blank 404. 
 Hell yeah these are quality products! Circular economy being manifested in real time.
