Where do I find the new highlight feature in #Amethyst? This is what I get when I long press in a long-form note: And this is what I get when I select text in the built-in web browser: These are the areas I would have expected to find the option to create a highlight.

#Boris is looking really good on a tablet @Gigi.

This was easily the best article I have read on the subject of #Kinism to date. Tomes does a fantastic job of acknowledging its legitimate concerns and placing them within their proper context, while also criticizing its excesses and where it goes astray, lacking a more robust moral and theological framework. It's a long read, but well worth the time spent, because it has application outside of the Kinist controversy, too.

After Kinism

Retrieval, Correction, and the Reformed Order of Particular Loves

I apologize for the highlight spam tonight. Trying out Boris with a particularly good, and long, article on the errors and legitimate concerns of Kinism. I am 85% of the way through. Hang in there, and I hope you have a client that allows you to filter your feed by note kind. If not, you should.

And with that, BIP110 chain looks to be dead in the water. Two whole blocks, both by the same sub-pool of miners under OCEAN, until they saw the writing on the wall and called it quits, though "not defeat" somehow. Sorry guys. I was sympathetic with the idea of placing reasonable limits on spam on Bitcoin, but you failed hard at winning hearts and minds to your cause, and then stubbornly decided "we're going to do it anyway, because game theory!" It didn't work out. Changing Bitcoin is hard, and should be. 20% of nodes is not consensus. 80% of nodes not doing anything is not "indifference." Many of us stayed on Core or pre-RDTS versions of Knots as a specific choice against changing what is considered a valid block, and mining pools went with that majority. Heck, even many OCEAN miners went with that majority, as evidenced by block 961634. OCEAN couldn't even achieve consensus among its "own ranks" and yet expected to game-theory it into existence among the rest of node-runners and miners? That was some next-level optimism.

They thought node support would force hashrate to follow. The problem was they didn't have node support either.

Not on my Bingo card for this year, I must admit.

Feels good to be home!

I have it on good authority that this is 100% accurate.

GM Nostr. Back stateside, but still making my way home after some delays. Will have quite a lot of photos and such to share when I finally get back, and a lot of new Nostr things to play with, too. @Geek I am sure you have been busy while I was in CZ 🇨🇿.
