As long as Google still makes me identify traffic signs and pedestrian crossings as proof of my humanity, I will refuse to acknowledge neither Al nor self-driving cars as having a real impact on our society.

I have to admit, the highly successful Lightning payments integration to Square terminals has been somewhat discouraging for somebody aiming to further Lightning payments across the Northern border.
Very tempting. These would be very easy to retrofit with Lightning payments, and they work (but are a pain to maintain)
Other than Al, is there any other industry that is as negative about its own impact on humanity? Even the people building weapons of mass destruction generally consider themselves saviors of civilization.
How are v4v podcasts doing? What’s your go-to Nostr podcast app? Or should podcasts not be on Nostr?
So far, the main reasons the moon is interesting for space travel are:
- Lots of grade A historic sites
- Lots of junk for a moon museum
- Cool sea AND mountain view
Nostr feels it’s now getting flooded with bots. Very curious and also lightly frightened what this will do to the social fabric of this young network and the conversations we’re having.
I didn’t stack sats today. I went out and spent some. Both merchants showed their gratitude. I’m so happy they take Bitcoin.
It’s a big club and you’d give everything not to be in it.
Very cool to visit Trails Coffee in Anmore, BC today. All customers, regardless of payment method, get a 3% sats reward!
And they’re using BTCPay!
The new battery-powered trams in retro-look for Baghdad look stunning. They’re built in Turkey by manufacturer Gatatren, and show obvious similarities to the Taskim - Tünel tourist tram. #trainstr
Fiat is dying.
Despite the importance of railroads throughout America’s history and the rich heritage of private railway cars, there have only been two Presidential Rail Cars, and no Presidential Train. The first car was built for Abraham Lincoln in 1865, and the second for Roosevelt in 1942. In between, U.S. presidents just booked regular train cars. British monarchs have had an entire Royal Train at their disposal since 1897, and the current Royal Train is still in service today (but won’t be for long).
