Computers, smartphones and tablet have failed us on several key metrics. 💻 📱 We are still paying the price for our failure to recognize this 40 years later 😥 Source: https://classes.matthewjbrown.net/teaching-files/philtech/berry-computer.pdf

To prop the US dollar I can forsee legislation that would prohibit stable channels and other “unbacked” tokens.

#asknostr is there a platform or app that I can use to sell a bit of #bitcoin every time the daily candle goes +10% ? And buy some when it goes -10% ?

A simple cure for ”paper mill“ / academic scammers is to simply block all the co authors from publishing at the scientific journal for an X number of years. in IT speak we would say: closing the port.

#AskNostr #askBluesky #askMastodon. I am posting via OpenVibe to all 3 platforms at the same time. But I also have an oldskool blog that I like posting to. Is there a simple way to bridge one of these three platforms to a blog?

I foresee a future in which an old laptop and a good stable internet connection will pay itself back, just because you run a Nostr relay or two on it. I see that as a good thing. Probably we should all use Nostr over TOR and clear-net , just to prevent Orwellian situations 🤔 ? View quoted note →

For my mental health I will stop using OpenVibe to read my #BlueSky, #nostr and #mastodon messages. I will return to this app when it supports muting words. @openvibe.bsky.social , @openvibe , @npub1plstrz6dhu8q4fq0e4rjpxe2fxe5x87y2w6xpm70gh9qh5tt66kqkgkx8j@momostr.pink

So we now have UTM on iPhone to boot other OSses 🤔 When will I be able to run android in UTM on iPhone and install an app by downloading the APK 😂 😃 ??

Right now I can block profiles in the @openvibe.bsky.social app on Bluesky, Nostr and Mastodon. But I really wish to block words. First to go would be Biden, Trump, Harris, Russia, Gaza, election, rasist, Hamas en some more very ✨charged✨ words. My timeline is supposed to be a friendly garden. Now it’s a bunch of thorn bushes. I don’t want to block people because other messages might be useful and nice.

Scammers bij KPN. Wordt net door een verkoper gebeld. Als u aan de lijn blijft krijgt u een bandje van “recht van bezwaar”. Ik blijf aan de lijn. Klik. Verbinding verbroken 😥

When will some enterprising soul make an update to Ms. Dewey and incorporate an LLM ? See:

The value of having a friend, or if you are rich, friends (multiple) is nicely illustrated in friendship-as-a-product like this gatget : https://www.friend.com/product.html I count myself “rich” , both for having many friends as well as belonging to those “rich above” 😊

I have this pet theory that humans are the only species where a large portion of the population remain childless. No other life form on our planet is this unevenly distributed in children: some have many kids while many will never have any kids. 🤔 I wonder why this is?

You aren’t and adult yet until you are proud of some of the things you did as a kid and ashamed of others.

How difficult is it to link nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkjopenvibe.bsky.social with a Lightning wallet like Strike or nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkjphoenix ?

Mr. Lapham’s last book, “Age of Folly: America Abandons Its Democracy” (2016), a collection of columns, argued that the election of Donald J. Trump was the culmination of decades of degradation of United States democracy under a number of Republican administrations, ending in what he called a dysfunctional plutocracy of the superrich, by the superrich and for the superrich.

#askahistorian #rome So I know the Romans had knowledge of and used cement. But where they the first to do so? Or was there a civilization before them who also knew about cement already?

It’s been some years since I last used AirBNB. I’ve no idea if this meme is reality based or not 🤔 Anyways, it’s good to have options 😊 View quoted note →

I was today x years old when I discovered that Tim Ferriss and Lex Friedman are in fact two different people 🤔 😅 I thought I listed to both their podcasts. Turns out it’s only Farriss’ that I listen to 😂
