UX looks slick enough, but is there really a market for yet another extensible markdown editor (for $10/mo!) when we have the likes of Obsidian et al.?

The 2nd gen iPod Mini is fairly easy to work on. I have one with a 64 GB SD card and a new battery.

Then don't install those apps? I really don't understand the problem. Smartphones only have the apps we install on them.

Call me a pedant, but this bugs (heh) me every time someone comes out with "we ran doom on X!" when they're really just using X as a display. Same thing with the pregnancy test a few years back. The whole "it runs doom

Discussions like this on reddit/HN always get stuck in this loop of people projecting how things are in their part of the world onto the rest of the world and assuming everyone has the same problems/challenges/tradeoffs.

Maybe this is pedantry, but opendime isn't really one-time use. It's designed to be passed between people many times and spent on-chain once. There's also satscard (from the same company) which has 10 unique "slots&quo

Plan9 is certainly unique and opinionated. Nextstep/Openstep/WindowMaker and RiscOS are two others that come to mind.

Some people have family or close friends who have copies of our keys to deal with just such a scenario (or to water our plants when we're away on a longer holiday).

Unrelated, but the word knob has a k in it. :)

The "crypto" world is 99% scams and 1% misguided nonsense, I agree. Wrt bitcoin, there are a lot of extremely talented, honest and trustworthy people working on both the technical side and providing services. Look at the projects

OK, honest question, have you tried it recently? Have you used a modern lightning wallet?

Bitcoin is getting better all the time. There are more people focusing purely on payments in the bitcoin space than you think. The lightning network is halfway usable now, and federated mint type systems (like cashu[1]) are very promising.

We already have this. It's called bitcoin. For offline payments, there's physical devices like opendime and potentially Chaumian mints like cashu.

The 2004 indie film Primer is a very good take on this.

I understand that a given domain's nuances are often lost to those with no domain knowledge, yes.

Nostr is full of bitcoiners, who hate "crypto block chain" stuff more than the average person. There are active efforts to bring other groups to nostr- check out nos.social for example.

>(To back this up: Hurd currently only supports the 32-bit x86 architecture, can only use a single CPU core, and is limited to 1 GB or so of RAM. It also lacks support for USB, PCIe, or anything dependent on them.) Wow. I was aware of Hu

Yes, there's a thread. Yes, X sucks now and doesn't let you view threads without an account. You can use nitter ( https://nitter.net ) to view it: https://nitter.net/Johnie/status/17445565031835
