Reading the end of Children of Dune with a fever is a bit of a mystical experience

Seems like the Bitaxe Gamma has twice the efficiency of Braiin's BMM 101 for half the price 👀

Am I the only one to often get issues with USB-C charging on my phone? Works like a charm for months, and someday it becomes harder and harder to use: the thing is plugged-in, but it seems even the slightest misplacement stops charging. Is it that I'm pushing too hard on those when I plug them in?

Cypherpunks bring their backpack to stage when giving a presentation.

Seeing some "revival" of Chat Control opposition here (good) but can't find anything indicating the Hungary presidency is putting it explicitly on the table again. All I can find online is that the Belgium presidency transferred the Chat Control case to Hungary as presidency changed. Am I missing something?

Just submitted my entry for Consensus Network's second short stories competition! 🥳 This time the theme of the anthology is "Financial Fallout" ☢️ (21futures.com). Can't wait to discover all the stories! cc @Niko 📚 Konsensus Network (yes I love to play with deadlines)

Is there a Nostr equivalent of Google Maps / TripAdvisor ratings & recommendations?

On light of the Pavek Durov arrest: do you think nostr relays should implement basic moderation on clear (i.e. unencrypted) content? E.g. ban pedo-pornographic content.

Does anyone know of an open source Mapstr alternative. I'd like to be able to create a shared map with a bunch of friends, where only us can see and edit the pins. Use case is sharing restaurants locations. I gave Nextcloud Maps a go, but: - not sure there is an iOS client - the Android client doesn't seem to let you search by name to find a place - Nextcloud doesn't let me limit access to certains apps to groups of user with enough granularity.

I'm not sure I find David J. Peterson reasoning behind distancing Neo-Chakobsa (movie) from Chakobsa (books) and current Earth-spoken languages very convincing. One of his main arguments is that in the the 20k years timeframe that separates us from the events unfolding in Dune, it is unlikely that contemporary (or a bit more ancient) languages would have survived, except for barely recognisable influences. That could work for most sci-fi settings, but imo it misses the target on Dune. - Great Houses have roots that go back to the Earth days of humanity, and language is a great part of a House's identity, as is perfectly conveyed in both the books and the movies. Houses would therefore protect their historical languages ; - the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers have access to the memories of their female ancestors, and given the organisation's influence in the Imperium, they could very much act (consciously or not) as "seed crystals" for the survivance of old languages (the name Bene Gesserit itself is Latine, ffs) ; - in the specific case of Fremen, who are the main speakers of Chakobsa, their culture involves a figure very similar to Reverend Mothers, as well as the Tau "orgy", where minds can experience very close connections. Spice consumption increases life expectancy. In this setting, I don't see why Fremen couldn't speak an old language, kept alive by Reverend Mothers and tradition.

Seems like Samourai's F-Droid repo went down this morning (~ 2 hours ago)

PayPerQ (https://ppq.ai/) joins the long list of awesome products with a name that accidentally sounds funny in French 🇫🇷 A common slang for toilet paper in French is "Papier Q" ("papier cul", butt paper). And, you guessed it, PayPerQ pronounced with an impeccable French accent sounds very much like Papier Q.
