Genuinely excited to see this land! Can't wait to try it out. This could be the last piece of the puzzle to a nearly flawless terminal experience

To purchase goods and services with Bitcoin such as Lightning where fees are negligible. It is indeed being used worldwide. E.g., you can purchase a wide array of things with Lightning at Bitrefill.com

Does anyone know if this will let you search your messages? This is one of the lacking features I've noticed on the Android version of Element is that you can neither bookmark messages nor search throughout the (encrypted?) chat, making it difficult to find messages you want to refer back to.

You can search on the Desktop app, but not sure why you can't on mobile...

My intuition is at least in the beginning, but with enough individual data won't you have a model that can generalize pretty well over similar cultures? Maybe moreso for the sheep, just speculating... who knows!

Yes but we've seen added sugar to be quite an addictive substance. People want to quit and it's difficult. You will feel the void of sugar. So if there's a healthy alternative that can reduce sugar. It is a highly valuable stepping stone where the success of it would be to make itself unnecessary (although still fun to use!) I think if it's natural and doesn't pose health risks that it sounds great.

does anyone else think we're reaching some kind of critical point where the general public's dissonance with the complexity of what's under the hood (obligatory pun acknowledgement) of computers is going to cause significant issues...

I would love to see this number compared to the amount of energy PoW consumes.

Burnout 4 years ago

could you expand a bit more on this? I'm a bit confused. First you're saying the conscious brain is killing your body and burnout is the body's attempt at trying to save itself. Then you seem to imply that it's an external toxin being consumed and you have to consciously identify it and stop consuming it?

well I'm living in Guatemala at Lake Atitlan. We have quite a movement of crypto enthusiasm so the people that are using it are "normal" people who are part of that crypto group. We also have a Lamassu "cryptomat" for people to exchange the local currency to Bitcoin and the crypto group has been advocating people to use Muun wallet, which is easy for the average person to kind of have on-chain and lightning capability.

In Guatemala at Lake Atitlan! I have a lightning node running BTCPay Server on a raspberry pi, and then also a web app that interfaces with it. I can show you the web site, although I'm hesitant to post it here cause i don't know how much traffic it can handle with the internet speeds here haha
