i keep forgetting nostr exists lol, its weird how i dont think about it more due to the state of the uk and worldwide censorship but yeah

got nephews staying over, ones in my room, this is gonna be a fun night

i keep forgetting this exists

working my way up to 1xmr lol

oh im now remembering that one time one of my old computer science teachers in highschool paused the entire lesson bcuz someone got interested in the fact he had crypto and he then just dropped everything to teach the class about the blockchain i forgot what crypto he had but hes fucking based for it

just gonna make it clear here that as i follow more xmr people, im not anti btc or an xmr maxi or some shit both are great for their own reasons, bitcoin lightning is also really cool, i dont really see a "better" option, completely depends on the use like for mullvad or something id pay in lightning (or sometimes just on chain), for hormones from grey markets id use xmr for the added protection, its completely within your choice of how you do things

being drunk is the best thing ever

*opens twitter to write a monero begpost for fun* if you want to participate im not against xmr being sent to 835BwqjiF7SAWgp9TyuFg2BcifHK5PTbaMqYz8UpV7qMGgWybvx93eXWVWBc9eosMMEJAyK2xWNURNcNZaxJQ7R6GPGYFf3 tho you should probably keep it for yourself

as good as bitcoin is don't you want something like monero in more oppressive governments who may be looking to tax the shit and track any crypto you have?

i certainly have thoughts on omarchy its okay. its just okay, ive tried it, its okay it is very opinionated so theres some software you will want to remove, i do feel like the dev is trying to target it at everyone though, when it really only targets one demographic it's for those who want an AI first OS which has a decent range of preinstalled software, and for those who don't exactly care if everything is OSS. i wouldn't recommend it for beginners, but thats just me. id recommend distros familiar to some, like kde fedora, linux mint, etc. WMs really aren't for beginners, i get why DHH wont want a DE and thats completely his opinions (its an opinionated distro, duh) people do call it just dotfiles, id say its more, it really is a full distro based off of arch, theres a ton of pre customization but its not just dotfiles i do like the AI approach when a process crashes, being able to ask AI why the process may have crashed, that's pretty neat, and the omarchy skill makes AI integration much nicer tldr omarchy is indeed a distro unlike what some may think, i dont think its exactly beginner friendly though the AI integration sure makes it easier for beginners should something go wrong, the omarchy skill makes it easier for someone to prompt instead of explaining everything or the AI doing more work than it needs. DHH tries to make it out that omarchy is for everyone but i wouldnt recommend it for everyone

as i have just noticed even some nostr users will link photos from imgur or something imgur is blocked in the uk, please upload it to nostr separately, censorship resistant platforms will only work when people use it properly and not linking from other platforms where its just pure censorship of every form

my cake wallet deposit off chain to lightning is taking so long it's gone up in value by 4p and i still haven't received it

bitcoin

i need to follow more nostr people

seems like the uk enjoy abusing emergency alerts to *checks notes* say dont light fires because of existing wildfires i recommend turning them off if you havent already, especially if they arent going to be used for their intended purpose

i wish i could use bitcoin more in the uk, wouldnt be able to tax evade cuz its VAT here (although technically id be avoiding capital gains if bitcoin shot up but who cares), as much as i want it to be (i am NOT going to willingly pay tax if you arent going to use it to improve anything, trying to start wars or engage in proxy wars with my taxes doesnt count as improving anything), but like, it would still be cool

just had an on chain transaction confirm in literally two minutes?? (4 sats/byte iirc)

fuck free speech if you want to talk to me irl it will now cost you

chess players 🤝 developers (saying "fork off" or "fork you" every chance they get)

hi so like im a completely irresponsible adult :3
