This tutorial will not cover the basics of 3D modeling but instead focus on a tactile, hands-on design process without safety nets.

The standard modeling approach is starting with gathering reference images and proceed with sketching.

For this helmet design I wanted to attempt a different angle of approach. I decided to start the modeling process immediately and let practical considerations inform the design.

https://image.nostr.build/c20493ba51e2d78a6f1b80767e2156c898a18c5f07702c9d5ac1d35c285c6c17.jpg

This first, quick iteration, while visually awful, gave me a number of valuable ideas.

I wanted the glass visor to be spacious and let a lot of light in, illuminating the character.

One goal I had defined from the beginning was that the helmet was going to be used for scifi portraits, meaning that the visor must provide good visibility. I also wanted to experiment with setting up an interior lighting system.

Since I didn't know in advance how my lighting system needed to be structured, this hands-on approach suited me perfectly.

It's important to not lose sight of your goal at this stage. Trust yourself that the design will improve.

https://image.nostr.build/e7d1159951054fb53f98b55ff666b40de33cce0661d59ffa801c038e78d050ea.jpg

Here I made a fast paintover where I indicated changes I wanted to model in Blender. No details at this stage. I want to let function impact design here and I need to consider the overall shapes first. In which direction do I want to take the helmet?

This is a stage where all paths are open. Anything is possible. I love this moment in a hands-on design process because at this moment I am not bound by an initial sketch that I have to copy and recreate. I can enter the creative flow instead and just imagine changes to the vague outline.

https://image.nostr.build/48a9e898e8b787b8bb209daf6d687957579cfef3a89708c65d957192357edf29.jpg

At this moment in time I am not concerned with the quality of the mesh and don't bother with hard edges or weighted normals.

My ideas for the visor shape is starting to form, combined with some bulky shapes that strengthen the helmet and allow for integration of a radio piece.

https://image.nostr.build/49e16854b04ef796ac01b33d98cc0e33bbea268f8939659ea23e7f15c11029e8.jpg

Here I added an early shape for a radio-comms device. I also extended the helmet chin area which was too weak in the previous version. I feel that I am on track with the changes and that the radio fits well with the placement of the character's ears.

https://image.nostr.build/a5a5b9dd35e5fd22e66103bd4c42db87cb1297c22be7e203653ee2b531ae2dae.jpg

The helmet was still a bit too smooth and barren at this stage and I wanted to include some more technical items and modeled a simple box that I intended as a speaker/comms piece, connected to the radio antenna piece. I made the top of the helmet more bulky since it felt overly fragile.

https://image.nostr.build/0ecbc67a35943f65d424f417e78643981d0b85c9f2cd69d66850a934bbe93361.jpg

I decided to cross my Rubicon with these significant changes. I had been debating with myself how much light I wanted to flow in via the visor. As I was considering adding an internal light above the character's forehead, I had to extend the helmet shape forward in order to achieve that result.

Function informs design. This is why I didn't want to start out with a sketch, because I had no idea at the beginning how exactly the functionality would impact the design. Placing a character inside the helmet was crucial for me to consider its shape.

At this point I have started to add details to the radio/comms structure since I was happy with the overall layout.

https://image.nostr.build/e1c087016ac624da434cf7a85df2f9870d9d55322bfe7b16a5c92d22c1df0754.jpg

As I felt the interior was empty I decided to sculpt a simple instruments panel with mini screens that can display valuable information.

A bonus with this idea was that I could use these mini-screens to lighten up the character's face. I also modeled a simple microphone, extending from a set of headphones.

For the radio I modeled a few more greebles and four small cables hanging openly beneath. I was aiming at a retro-scifi style so I was looking for opportunities to show exposed cables.

https://image.nostr.build/4e29fa5d770ca787bb2a66e37f69ad63afbc3010fa44092b51dc9393932f461b.jpg

At this stage I was experimenting with the interior lighting system. As I had hoped, I was able to use the mini-screens on the instruments panels as light sources by cranking up their emission values.

Thanks to the function-informed design the top-light in the helmet could be angled to cast a light on the character's forehead.

Also I expanded the instrument panels a little and I was haopy to add some more exposed wires where they made sense.

The external radio and speakers needed some kind of internal device that connected with them, and the new pieces I modeled fitted the purpose.

https://image.nostr.build/5ce5b46c69b6922c8704e32435213860c9fba5fd86136fccae2ccfbd45a78da6.jpg

At this point I felt that my overall design was working and I started to improve the mesh, finalize the shape and add hard edges. The instruments panel grew and I think this was the first time in the design process that I could start imagining the texturing stage.

https://image.nostr.build/a7cbcb7cf44368a798ce70b7cb363332c6ec1095902fc636cf6f038bec7763ba.jpg

More refinement. I made the top and bottom more bulky and sturdy. This thing was supposed to take some beatings.

After this I decided that I wanted oxygen tubes connecting with the helmet. I wanted the oxygen tubes in turn to connect to some kind of air filtering device.

https://image.nostr.build/84b0a1a8263414498b48a88da2d4b4247d52cde1381086634b5fdfc92eb7b76e.jpg

This was the final design of my oxygen tubes and the air filtering unit. I wanted a slight StarWars stormtrooper feel here, but with a more tactile and practical design. I added a screw-on system for a rustic retro scifi look.

This render is after my texturing process of course.

https://image.nostr.build/be643f569ede51e5be2878f9fa6fa6c96d73d04dd0e8c3d38210641a25bc8394.jpg

Another look at the backside. I made several paintjobs and spent days on end just to scratch up the metal by hand in substance painter.

https://image.nostr.build/ee8947662d3b99f812bc1ca09e8312f619dac91429c32fa93589509840bff8e8.jpg

Yet another paintjob. This is a closeup of the attachment system for the air filtering unit.

These designs above are the only ones I didn't model by myself. They are simply normal-map shapes that I added to a flat mesh surface. They look like general topology because I made scratches around areas that would have more wear and tear.

The screws have been used and the hatch has been opened many times, so I had to visualize this with the areas of peeled-off metal.

https://image.nostr.build/60947dc4c58cdb65c60465e84f69febe5d0027ee30211628adfbc5dd56df622c.jpg

From this angle, the oxygen cannisters inside the air filtering unit are visible. I thought it was fun to expose the bottles like this, it is retro-scifi after all.

Under the filtering unit I made two circular connections, just in case I wanted to connect the filtering unit to a backpack in the future.

https://image.nostr.build/e46f3c3d977023430b258d70fb0e4c65a6359c3d63d56799f4fb88f0fc15b4cb.jpg

The scratches don't stop. Below the helmet there needed to be heavy scratching due to placement wear and tear. Throw that thing across the floor.

https://image.nostr.build/35d795bff1aa7c83a351f65c8966cd2d9a806c6bdb74b09af2d4294709e88c90.jpg

Another paintjob from below and heavy scratching. I realized how wildly fun it was to scratch up the metal.

https://image.nostr.build/7310aafeaea5cd804b991d9040e87a655986eeab25a8e96f27f6f3792d420bd7.jpg

Closeup of the radio/comms system. I had intentionally made it slightly assymetric and went with an approximated balaced feel.

I wanted the helmet to look cobbled together in a garage. If the systems work, they work. They don't have to be factory design symmetric. I wanted a rough and tactile design.

https://image.nostr.build/980799aa6bcd9d79f9b8c89aa4b2252f3f4ef92efa573f6f18a8847137be3b5a.jpg

I wanted to allow the option to hide the radio/comms system.

https://image.nostr.build/3dcd8de3fb121f071a94742352973b2ddc44f75bc3245bddbf723da5d74e62f2.jpg

Frontal view of the finihed helmet. I tried to give the interior leather padding a kind of WW2 style, which fitted with the retro theme.

Same render but with the radio/comms system hidden.

A look at the instruments panels and microphone headset. These are all mini-screens without any buttons. The helmet user is probably not going to press any buttons with their facial extremities anyway.😄

https://image.nostr.build/97c2af2392c189250ac06d6a9e831732fe7814bdafbed6884fc4ec3a0102b676.jpg

More interior.

https://image.nostr.build/e90bbbc4218be3b159e1bfe63844d325dcd6e201712b24427fa2d54398ebee7d.jpg

Full interior view of the instrument panels. I designed a number of simple screen graphics to fit with the retro style.

The two central lights are not part of the helmet. I modeled them separately to help illuminating the character from below. Because they are separate they can be resized, rotated and hidden easily.

Lessons

In conclusion I want to mention that I initially planned the UV seam on top of the helmet. This was a grave mistake that forced me to redo my UV-mapping and my first texturing. There was an unfortunate bug in my (old) version of substance painter that made the UV seam hard to hide. Also it presented a few other technical problems.

For my second attempt I placed the UV seam at the front of the helmet, cutting through a small segment of the frontal chin part of the helmet instead of the whole upper+back part.

This was a far better way to UV map the helmet and if I were to embark on a helmet project again, that's where I would cut my UVs.

At this moment in time I am not concerned with the quality of the mesh and don't bother with hard edges or weighted normals.

My ideas for the visor shape and area is starting to form, combined with some bulky shapes that strengthen the helmet and allow for integration of a radio piece.

Trump demonstrated who the LARPers are.

When you stand up against the establishment, reject the Paris climate agreement, reject CBDCs and support Bitcoin, there is a high risk of assassination.


European Central Bank wants to implement a digital Euro, Austria and Germany say No.

No surprise, they already had a devastating dictatorship not so long ago.

Perhaps (Big Perhaps!) we will learn something from history after all.

British physicist Mike McCulloch has a profound point here.

https://image.nostr.build/cc97b2c59310eb8e9e057f5e67f0c9771607bdd3e2d32ed4d71fa76545501953.jpg

If his Quantised Inertia (QI) theory works out and can be utilized practically, the world will have access to unlimited energy without pollution.

Add that QI would power interstellar drives as well, allowing for practical expansion into space - a frontier that will create an unlimited number of jobs. Just at a time when AI will displace a large number of jobs.

QI theory gets rid of dark matter and explains previously mysterious anomalies that traditional physicists have tried to explain with inserting subjective amounts of dark matter here and there in order to make the observations match their theory.

As the QI theory will become increasingly tested within coming years via practical experiments in space, an interesting litmus test is forming:

How will the "environmental" movement react to Quantised Inertia if QI can provide humanity with abundant, pollutionless energy?

The cat is out of the box and ideas whose time has come cannot be returned to obscurity.

If Quantised Inertia works out, this will be the nail in the coffin for the UN Agenda 21 project and the climate doomsday preachers.

Quantised Inertia was inspired by Mike's insights from Oceanography. He was aware that boats close to the shore are pushed toward the shore because of the longer waves hitting the boat from one side, while the waves on the beach-side are shut off by a horizon that caused them to become shorter.

The principle follows from there: in theory we should be able to harness energy from quantum horizons and the acceleration that causes such horizons.

Applied to galaxies, QI can explain why galaxies hold together without inserting dark matter.

The principle behind this, as I understand it from Mike's talks, is that the Unruh quantum waves that exist outside of a galaxy are at maximum length, while accelerated matter shortens Unruh waves.

At the center of a galaxy is a black hole that accelerates matter towards it. The distance from the center of the galaxy thereby predicts the length of the Unruh radiation waves.

Close to the center of the galaxy the Unruh waves are shorter, due to the higher acceleration and the horizon formed by acceleration. The Unruh waves then gradually increase in length with further distance from the center until they reach the edge of the galaxy where the acceleration is lowest.

Since the longer Unruh waves push against the shorter waves, the galaxy is kept together without the need to insert dark matter.

[Edit] My above paragraph is wrong and Mike provided a correction:

https://image.nostr.build/5c6a7894a783f3338b2e7e6686f501c56efe4bc3936db0be00d000fc66c81e00.jpg

The beauty of QI is that it is remarkably simple and can be tested practically, which can't be said about dark matter. Dark matter can be described as the establishment ethos - "believe this by decree and authority, not by proof of work".

QI can explain a variety of anomalies such as the orbits of binary stars where inserting dark matter doesn't even make sense.

We live in interesting times.

Kamala Harris wants to confiscate patents owned by individuals and companies for their products

"I will snatch their patent so that we [the federal government] will take over."

I hope all the businessmen are listening.

And I hope all the moronic ”VoTiNg doesn’T matter”-people sooner rather than later, realize their grave mistake

Len Sassaman is indeed an interesting possibility. I wouldn't be surprised if he was either Satoshi or deeply involved with Satoshi. In the first case he could have feigned skepticism toward bitcoin on social media. In the second case perhaps he came around to bitcoin after his initial skepticism.


That's a baaad take.😄

Modern communists since Deng Xiaoping are in bed with corporatism because it expands the power and reach of the government.

Corporatism allows the government to outsource tyranny and oppression to companies that the government control via regulations. This leaves the government with seemingly clean hands and all the retards will blame the companies that are following government commands, threats of fines and incentive structures.

Neo-communism is the new fascism.

Dengism, after Deng Xiaoping.

https://image.nostr.build/84b34a2d9279cedb5af33f3b975f1d2b12f85df4e75a9eb93eca4cf166c24495.jpg

This is what happens when a communist system embraces corporatism to further the power, financing and reach of the government.

This allows the outsourcing of surveillance to corporations that are indirectly controlled by the government via regulations and economic sanctions. The corporations that don't play ball with government instructions can easily be dismantled by the bureaucrats overseeing them.

Want to force experimental treatments upon a population? Just outsource the dirty work to all major corporations, who exist and prosper at the mercy of their alignment with government doctrine.

Dengism is how communism survived in spite of its devastating economic policies, resulting in a merge with corporatism. A few steps of a false free market charade was enough to prop up the communist establishment with newfound economic resources and extended powers of central planning.

Agreed. I sometimes write in my note app first, depends on how much I plan to write. Then at other times I just write in-the-flow, which can be both a hit or a miss.

Ideally I would like to have a draft mode in Amethyst, with slightly larger lettering so that typos are easier to spot. My eyes never get used to this small text format.


Sounds like an interesting book.

I have sometimes wondered if Satoshi was an individual who defected from the establishment or if he always was an outsider. Both scenarios could explain his visionary new pathstaking and oppositional course in relation to the corrupt moneyprinting system.

One interesting aspect with insiders that defect is the amount of corruption they have seen and how it finally pushes them to take a stand against it. "Dropships burning off the shoulder of Orion", comes to mind in the sense of someone recounting the things that they have witnessed but few others have seen. Insider insights must leave a mark.

It is interesting to consider how Trump used to be part of the establishment and praised by the MSM. Over the past 8 years we have seen a development where Trump has favored American energy interests and subsequently voiced opposition to the global climate agenda, which in turn has placed him at an adversial angle toward the UN Agenda 21, perhaps without knowing what kind of behemoth he was becoming an enemy with.

He has kept his focus on American energy maximization (drill, baby, drill) in spite of becoming unpopular among the climate alarmist governments + media in the US, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Brussels et al. I would call all of these government entities a part of the Western deep state, and Trump has upset their plans. This doesn't necessarily make Trump into a hero, flawed as any person is, but it explains the assassination attempt - he is too much of an obstacle for the estsblishment. It is easier for them to carry on with their plans if Trump (or some other opposition) is not in the oval office.

The likely long term plan of the deep state is the establishment of the UN as a global government and as such, nationalistic or populist impulses that might offer a defensive barrier to a UN power grab must in their mind be eradicated.

Yet, there must be an abundance of engineers, system designers and highly qualified individuals that have seen the metaphorical dropships off the shoulder off Orion, who have seen the corruption and direction of the central planning system.

At $35 Trillion of US debt and as of present when 75% of US tax revenue goes to pay off the interest of the US debt alone, the point of realization that the system cannot be fixed by its architects must be widespread at this moment.

Governments are run by policy. Policy is a program code and the downstream implications of such code can be predicted.

The signing of the UN Agenda 21 by 179 nations back in 1992 marks a significant software update to both the operative system of 179 nations as well as the ideological framework. This involves a blending of the governance structure with a deep belief in a human-made climate catastrophy as an urgent, all-encompassing Weltanschauung that cannot and must not be critiqued. Shoot it down and the architecture of a planned global governance crumbles.

Then there is the circulation of elites. There was a point in time when Ceaușescu could no longer command and move the masses with his speech and the public had arrived at a stage where they had had enough of the oppression. At that point the military naturally defected to team up with the new rising opposition and so the previous barrier of defence of Ceaușescu, became his bane.

Since fabricated climate fears alone are not sufficient to forge a global governance structure with the UN at its apex, the WHO became involved to offer a second path to global governance: the fear of pandemics and the global regulatory framework that can bind nations together under a centralized command: the UN and the WHO. An attempt at crafting a one ring to rule them all. Global regulations can form such a tightening ring of control.

The chances for major power struggles among the participants of this global coup de etat are legion. A large number of insiders may be on the verge of defecting from the global 1984 project, if they haven't already taken an internal stance against it.

As smaller nations are adopting hard money (Bitcoin) at a faster rate than larger nations, this creates an inverse relationship between present economic power and future economic power, allowing game theory to play out.

The game theory of nations attracting capital (Bitcoin), entrepreneurs and skill, in exchange for offering individual liberties, low taxes and respect for property rights in return, will offer a strong counter-movement against global governance.

Those that defect from the system will be able to join in a multitude of forming Galt's Gulches. Once again in history we may witness a rotation of the elites. Churn is inevitable.

When there is enough variety in topics on Nostr, a varied audience can connect.

Nostr has been over-branded and branding is a central planning mechanism. When I started with Reddit or Twitter, I never used their branding as some kind of flag or banner.

I think a positive step forward is to reduce the bashing of other media channels.

One of Nostr's problem is trying to be different from Twitter while not understanding what makes Twitter valuable to its users.

How I would describe Nostr:

I can send and receive bitcoin zaps here. This is a place for full length talk, long-format posts and without cryptic micro messages. No fees, no ID or KYC.

If I want to write in-depth on a subject, I write it on Nostr where I can't be banned or censored. Should I want to write a tutorial, Nostr is the place.

Over time I can imagine that a great number of tutorials will exist on Nostr. This is a type of content that is attractive and which requires a long format.

Yes, that is probably one of the reasons for the slow growth. This will vanish over time though.

Another New Study Finds Rising CO2 Enhances Planetary Greening, Reduces Drought Risk | Climate Change Dispatch

One of the more commonly stated concerns linked to “global warming” is that sweltering heat will parch the terrestrial landscape (browning), limit vegetation growth, and foment water shortages – even widespread drought.

However, a new study suggests the Earth’s rising CO2 concentration has the exact opposite effect in the real world.

In their extensive trend analysis spanning the last few decades, the scientists determined elevated CO2 was the single most “dominant driver” (accounting for 45% of the correlation) when assessing the link between reducing vegetation water demand and improved water use efficiency.

“…elevated CO2 concentrations not only boosted vegetation growth through the fertilizer effect but also indirectly enhanced water availability [reducing drought risk] by improving water use efficiency.” – Song et al., 2024

Compared to CO2, for example, temperature and precipitation play a far less significant role (10-11% of the correlation) in influencing the trend in improved vegetation growth and water use efficiency.

“The CO2 fertilization effect has benefits for both vegetation growth and water use efficiency (WUE).”

“…elevated CO2 concentrations could indirectly enhance water availability by improving [water use efficiency]…reducing vegetation water demand.” https://image.nostr.build/74738082b7af9f5dd1af0d2ca307430dcb603f8cc2c326757550bfb533409173.jpg

New  nostr:npub1dllf8wmj6jk83r7chck6madmfgh3fges65ctpe5t6ueujazvvcvsh20tz5 V2 release

Very interesting addition of #LightningNetwork ⚡
And a few more additions including bug fixes and a few improvements.

More info in the release notes:

https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq2/releases/tag/v2.1.0

https://image.nostr.build/3be600d595497cc29c163a94d0582e0a3cc272a78b3a053183df66631aee487b.png


This sounds super creepy and boundaries need to be established.


Svensk här, bor med min fru i Polen.


Yet another possibility:

Semi-Mute

This feature would allow us to Semi-Mute a profile, with the result of us seeing 1 post per day from them.

A more advanced variant would be to add a menu where we can specify the number of posts we want to see per day from the semi-muted account, let's say 1-5.


Sounds like he is working hard to get a Kamala blowjob. 😅🤣


Suggestion for Nostr devs.

1. Problem.

I want to follow a lot of great people and profiles. When they post many posts per day my following feed gets clogged up. Unfollowing them to help clear up my feed is not ideal.

2. Possible solution:

Add an extra viewing mode.
"Compact Mode"

If the Compact Mode is selected, I will see 1 post per person from those that I follow. The selection process could be the newest of their posts or the most interacted post. Not sure which option would be best since interactions can be botted.

Optional: show an information box below the post, stating that X number of new posts from that profile are available. If I click this option I can see all the new posts from this profile.

This optional part is not necessary of course, I can just click on their profile to see their last posts.

In this manner I can follow a large number of accounts and have their content compacted in my feed.

Expected problems with the *optional* suggestion: there may be vertical reformatting problems resulting from this feature.

I don't have to simp for Trump, donate money to him, or campaign for him. Taking 5 minutes to vote for him and maybe he will #FreeRoss is pretty low effort. If he lied about everything we are still almost certainly better off than with four more years of Obama 2.0.

I get that no politician is going to save us but I'd rather not try to push for my own persecution.


Yup. She's an authoritarian central planner.

I wrote a few reflections on why it is implausible to assume that Kamala Harris would embrace Bitcoin.

TLDR: Kamala's stance on taxes, energy and climate disqualifies her at any capacity of leadership.

There’s only two conclusions you can make from this narrative framing:

- Kamala Harris is economically illiterate
- Kamala Harris is trying to scapegoat productive businesses for a problem her policies created

Both conclusions should disqualify her from being President.

As some commentators voice a hope for a Kamala Harris pivot toward a pro-Bitcoin stance, I find this implausible and will explain why I believe this.

Below I will have a look at Kamala's stand on taxes, energy and climate. First a glance at the Biden-Kamala constellation.

On March 9th, 2022, Joe Biden signed a document that involved the US government exploring CBDCs. The only way I can interpret this is as a plan to develop and implementing CBDCs. R&D does involve the 'd' as in development.

Next, it can be instructive to have a look at Kamala's tax policies from 2020, which are also largely mirrored in her 2024 position.

Here we find that Kamala had listed capital gains taxes on her policy document in 2020 and still support them in 2024. Not very bitcoin-friendly at all and a disaster in terms of the erosion of private property rights.

Next up we have the subject of energy and climate. As expected, the more aligned a candidate is toward the UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030, the more climate alarmism and de-industrialization policies we find.

This applies to the US, Canada, France, Australia, Germany, UK, Sweden, Norway and a host of countries that are pro-Agenda 21. Not a coincidence.

Ironically, Kamala's negative stance on US energy will likely boost Trump's campaign and he has been consistent in his pro-American energy position for 8 years, in spite of the coordinated MSM backlash.

In conclusion, considering the ideological foundation of the Democrats, grounded in the UN Agenda 21 climate alarmism, and with 6 years left to reach the Agenda 2030 climate goals, we can expect Kamala to reduce the US energy capacity of oil, coal and gas in favor of environmentally questionable solar and wind energy, resulting in a de-industrialization and possible energy rationing.

Since CBDCs are necessary tools to implement carbon allowances and social credit score systems, we can expect that any political candidate that is on board with climate alarmism, also see CBDCs as useful tools in herding (forcing) consumers toward eating less meat, using less gas, driving fewer miles with cars, travelling less with planes and using less energy in general, which, under her policies, there won't be sufficient energy anyway.

Bitcoin mining under this kind of energy rationing scheme would become pointless due to the skyrocketing costs of energy. De-industrializing a nation while also embracing bitcoin mining is not a compatible match. Can't work, won't work.

Trump's energy maximization plan however, is compatible with bitcoin mining at low costs. Without the climate alarmism ideology, Trump doesn't even have a use case for CBDCs, which by the way he is vocally against. Trump doesn't believe in social engineering applied by central planners to pressure people to stop eating meat or stop driving cars. He has rejected climate alarmism consistently for 8 years, in spite of global demonization and recently, an assassination attempt.

The deep state has shown itself aligned with climate scaremongering and this is the litmus test I use to determine who is aligned with the deep state and who is not.

Are they pro energy or not?
Are they anti UN or not?
Are they anti CBDC or not?
Are they anti capital gains taxes or not?
Are they for individual liberties or not?
Are they for private property rights or not?
Are they pro bitcoin or not?

These are the questions we must ask.

Right.

I view interactions by context.

The need to generalize "you are a bad person if you do XYZ on social media" is often just too abstract, generalized and unrelated to specifics to be useful.


The important aspect is to offer relevant and helpful feedback. If users are going to spend time with an app it is important to listen to their experience, even if some of them may lack programming experience.

For those who have programming experience, being self-critical in order to improve a design is not much different from sharing the same type of considerations with the designs of others.


I can get that he wants to make some specific point about a particular instance he has observed, but he makes it a vague universal instead and hints that regular users should keep silent.

I wrote a response attempting to nuance the matter.

Absolutely. Inflation is far higher than the CPI measurements.

I wrote a program some time ago that calculates the loss of purchasing power over a 45 year career based on different rates of inflation and taxes.

A few examples:

This reminds me of how powerful GIMP is as a software, while at the same time, many of its menus are confusing and hard to use for a beginner.

Gathering user feedback should be priority 1 in improving the UI workflow of users. For a composing app - gather feedback from composers. For an art app - gather feedback from artists, and so on.

1. Feedback
2. Improve user workflow efficiency
3. Appealing design

The feedback process could start long before designers are funded.


Thanks for sharing, Hans.

🚨 Doctors Killed in Plane Crash Vowed To Release Evidence Linking mRNA to Turbo Cancer

Eight cancer doctors who dedicated their lives to saving others and blowing the whistle on the devastating turbo cancer epidemic sweeping the world have been found dead.

The bodies of six world-leading oncologists and two resident medics were found on Friday in the wreckage of a plane that plunged from the sky in Brazil and exploded in a fireball, killing all 62 people on board.

The doctors were on their way to an international conference in Sao Paolo where they were set to present their findings that mRNA and the COVID-19 vaccines are responsible for the explosion of turbo cancers and autoimmune disease wreaking havoc around the world today.

Mainstream media are working overtime to brush this story under the carpet on behalf of Big Pharma, but the facts are damning and we are not going to let them cover up the truth.

I think that Jack didn't have the capital to turn Twitter around by himself. Standing up against powerful government pressure groups must be tough economically.

In either case, if Jack is striving to benefit liberty here and now he's at least on the right path. I appreciate the work he has done to provide us with more options.

As the puzzle is playing out, we have to make the best out of the puzzle pieces we have available.


I disagree.

It appears that Jack was swamped by government pressure groups, involving the CIA, while Jack was attempting to keep Twitter afloat.

Jack then embraced Bitcoin and turned around toward working with liberty solutions, allowing Elon to bring a new course for Twitter. Without Elon's capital backing, standing up against pressure groups and coalitions of advertisers would have been difficult economically.

There is no need to hate a man that has joined the liberty side. The existence of Twitter has been a net positive in spite of its censorship and Jack has provided the world with an additional option for social media when Facebook, Reddit and other alternatives were overwhelmed with establishment propaganda.

Nostr is the future, yet Twitter/X still has its role to play in advancing free speech, until it is overwhelmed by the attacks from the system.

During this period of *relative* liberty on Twitter, Nostr has a chance to grow and be ready to accomodate individuals that will be silenced on Twitter over the coming months/years.

These are parts of a greater puzzle being solved. The transition toward liberty is not always a straight line


I disagree.

It appears that Jack was swamped by government pressure groups, involving the CIA, while Jack was attempting to keep Twitter afloat.

Jack then embraced Bitcoin and turned around toward working with liberty solutions, allowing Elon to bring a new course for Twitter. Without Elon's capital backing, standing up against pressure groups and coalitions of advertisers would have been difficult economically.

There is no need to hate a man that has joined the liberty side. The existence of Twitter has been a net positive in spite of its censorship and Jack has provided the world with an additional option for social media when Facebook, Reddit and other alternatives were overwhelmed with establishment propaganda.

I wrote a few reflections on this talk yesterday if anyone is interested.

I don’t know what’s funnier. Them trying this stupid sequel… or that people will fall for it again. 🤦♂ https://image.nostr.build/c1ed35e9e6971e95c770ade9ca6c4f896113c82ae21602edf654af587301a55f.jpg


VPNs will be used of course.

But, it would also be an opportunity to demonstrate the value of Nostr. Nostr will shine even brighter under censorship.


A few reflections from the recent 3 hour talk with Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Twitter/X.

Trump's main strength in my view is the energy sector. With a potent and competive energy sector, without unnecessary red tape regulations, electricity becomes cheaper to produce. The pricing of all goods, services and transports are heavily impacted by the cost of energy.

This is also a sector where Trump has no competition, except Vivek Ramaswamy who quit the presidential race. Both Kamala Harris and RFK jr both have a bad record on energy policy, related to beliefs in global warming doomsday scenarios.

Regarding Trump we have an 8 year historical record of his support for the US energy sector, in opposition to the UN Agenda 21 policies that are fueled by irrational climate alarmism.

Overview:

2017. Trump pulls the US out of the Paris climate accord. He says that it is "designed to kill the US economy".

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iI24uAdAYro

2020. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump opposed the anti-energy policies that the WEF have an obsessession with implementing. Trump referred to the climate alarmists as "prophets of doom".

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0UiFRZ3t_KM

2021. On January 20, 2021, Biden signed the US back into the Paris climate accord. This was done on his first day in office, indicating that this was a high priority matter.

2023. Trump was critiquing Germany for closing its nuclear power plants and implementing harmful climate alarmism policies.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJSr4tFkjcA

2024. February. Trump announces that he will not allow the creation of a CBDC.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oUjMK8d6omo

In light of the above, it is reasonable to assume that Trump takes energy policies seriously and is willing to sacrifice his own reputation in the media in order to secure American energy interests. Without energy there is no civilization.

My main disagreement with Trump is his positive outlook on the mRNA vaccine development.

First I would like to clarify that I think it is a terrible idea to inject mRNA spike proteins into the human body.

Yet, as far as I understand Trump's position, his general stance is embracing medical competition and production, in an assumed societal environment where individuals can access medical treatments under informed consent and under a climate of free speech.

His support for Hydroxychloroquine in 2020 demonstrated an openness for experimental approaches on a voluntary basis, in spite of the demonization and ridicule from the mainstream media.

I do support medical freedom and my starting point is that all kinds of medicine should be available for purchase, including experimental treatments. If someone is seriously ill I can't deny them the option to choose an experimental treatment provided that they are aware of and have access to data that can reveal the risks involved.

The key issue here is to have a societal climate where free speech is in full effect and individuals can find and share opinions, experience and research that highlights the potential risks of any particular medication or treatment. This failed catastrophically during Covid due to online censorship and demonization campaigns.

The failings during Covid were legion and in particular related to central planning. I will here highlight two out of many points of failure.

1. Governments purchasing millions of doses of experimental vaccines for taxpayer money.

This is not how a free market operates. In a free market individuals buy their own medications based on their own personal judgement and estimation of risks to their health.

This also requires a genuine free market where all medications are available to consumers so that potential working solutions can be tested and spread via word-of-mouth recommendation. Banning certain medications or treatments is not a free market policy.

2. Presidents and government officials pressuring the public to take experimental vaccines. Add the demonization of critics and those who do not consent to a particular treatment.

Justin Trudeau is one noteable example of presidents during Covid that abused their position to stigmatize critics and create a climate in favor of mandated experimental vaccines.

These political pressures in turn caused corporations to fall in line with the government pro-vaccine position over inflated fears, both of the virus and also fears of government fines against companies that would not cooperate with government policy.

We saw mandated vaccines as a result with devastating effects on individuals living under immense pressure to take a treatment that could harm them, or face losing their livelihoods.

I could write more in depth here on these Covid-related horrors of central planning but I will leave all the deeper details for now.

It is entirely possible to support experimental treatments while at the same time not agreeing with tyrannical central planning mandates and accompanying censorship.

Allowing for experimental medicines comes with both risks and possibilities. Having a free market, based on individual liberties and informed consent, is fundamental.

Hence the importance of free speech. Without proper information of risks and a genuine ability to reject a treatment, we have no basis to formulate consent.

I often think about this.

In years to come, 1000 sats will be sufficient to pay for a human-made artwork, a logo or some other service. Quite remarkable.
