What I listen to while walking the Charlotte airport.

Lovely afternoon in the sunshine.

US lunar eclipse rn.

People fail. People flail. Often looks similar.

Community Network Deep roots lead to tall branches.

Bitcoin Red Team needs to point the frontier units at the Bitcoin aspects that overlap with Psychology, Money, Philosophy, and History to see what understanding can be gained that will help guide feature decisions. It’s not just software.

Played one of my better rounds without fanfare today. Yet to break 80. Within reach. #golf is hard.

@Bitfest over there GM’ing on X.

Mobile games today. Acknowledging that software is a commodity, and human relationships and developer taste are the value now. (The other value is data, but set that aside for now, because we’re trumping that with privacy and personal autonomy for this conversation.) To download and play Chess, Risk, Roulette, BlackJack, Poker, and so many other simple games today they still demand internet connected for tracking and ads, their core mission is to sell things stuff, and they want your signup, often demanding it. Just not necessary any longer in the world of Nostr, lightning and easily built quality games by devs and creatives that are doing it for the love of it. I had the frustration when I just wanted to play roulette on a plane, and have a game of risk on my own against the computer. Had the idea for the solution when I typo’d ‘programming’ into ‘brogramming’ and wondered what that could be. In my work I’m building a co-op to change an industry, because solutions built around software can now be de-corporatized and ownership decentralized. So here’s the thought: One Apple Store and Google Play store under a Co-op Dev Account (even better if a good candidate already exists). Then the apps get pushed out through there with stipulations around anonymity, in-app payments, connected web and tracking rules etc where the target is anonymity allowed, tracking disallowed, ads disallowed, connectivity requirement disallowed, etc. you get the idea. A place where software can be secure, open, decentralized, anonymous, local-first, and where achievable—high quality, all while front side purchase routes to dev through the co-operative and/or developer-tips route to dev directly via nostr by zaps. Thoughts?

Let’s say the 4 year cycle persists, because humans will human. If I live until 80, I have 7 bull markets left. Low time preference thoughts on mortality lead to long term planning and short term stacking.

@GrapheneOS is working with Motorola for compatibility and that’s a beautiful thing. Made you guys a top secret joint-project logo.

And look at Elon go. Fun mail-day.

A nice arrival to my box today. So quality. Takes me back to when people bought precious things based on the value of the work absorbed into them. @Leathermint @Saifedean Ammous ...Well done, guys.

In the Midwest, where tornados show up unannounced at times, you have certain days at certain times where the tornado sirens are tested and all the locals know to ignore it. Damn the tornado that shows up in that time slot.

@murmur has been helpful and fun to see out in the world. Thanks for supporting Leon and trusting his bot to deliver for you. Leon running the project is also kind of fun. I've had to step in very rarely. If you want to test it out on your own writings, just ping the project in a reply to a post you'd like transcribed. (I wonder if he'll offer to transcribe this one since I pinged him in it. 🧐) His numbers look funny, but here's an ad from Leon for @murmur...
