all these bizarrely rabid comments really put the supposedly technical nature of the core/luke conflict into a starkly pointed, personal (political?) perspective.
the highest zapped comment is just a stream of desperate abusive noise that then tries to tell people what to do - 'u r all stupid, do as i say!!!11!' - which is kind of funny on it's own, but then the thread expands into all these other exchanges of slurs further down and just turns into a total bitch fight.
OP's post is good info, ( i would prefer it not to be titled 'lies' though - whether todd is lying or not, the post is strong enough not to need it) but it seems to have lit a touchpaper that's quite revealing of a 'don't oppose this' attitude, and the false appeal to the 'authority' of todd from the core/whatever voices.
my phone wallet has developed a glitch, and also i've been finding myself having to re do a lot of house chores this week.
p.s. some nice photos - those sunset and evening shots are glorious.
Here's a great track from the top 40 on Wavlake - Julia Sound from Silver Unit's 'The World Without You'

an embossing manual tapewriter is another option - no electronic data security threat, the plastic tape would be waterproof too - not fireproof though, and i dunno how resilient the plastic would be over time.
Yet another dead in the water feature fork - these niche circlejerks with their echo chamber 'consensus' and distinctly troll-ish promotion are noise, tbh.
"On the other hand, if blocksize is too small, individual users will not be able to economically transact on the chain. They will once again be forced to use trusted intermediaries to transact on their behalf. The prevalence of custodial wallets and exchanges highlights this problem."
this part seems off to me - people use custodial services because they perceive them as convenient, not because blocks are 'too small' - it may become a reason in future, but isn't currently.
on a side note, i'm still wondering if chris belcher, whose teleport transactions this is a fork of, was injected back in 2021/2 - his work diary claims 'long covid' to be the cause of the blood problem that stopped him working, but the description of the clotting of his blood seems anecdotally closer to some of the needle stories of late.
not a foreign language, but a foreign accent - these two things are not the same - it's not a theory, it's an experience.
Every foreign person i interact with, including my Paraguayan next door neighbour, speak English to me with their own accent - it's perfectly natural to do so, whoever is doing it - i have no trouble understanding any of them, and see no reason why 'they should' do anything else - how is this not obvious ?
lol, in decades of living in London, being surrounded by the races of the world, not one of then has ever adopted a comedy English accent when speaking in any circumstance - you seem abusively upset by an observation - if anyone's on a horse, perhaps it's you.
When foreign people speak English, i've yet to hear anyone (including the Peruvian guide in the video) speak it with anything other than their native accent - feigning the accent of the race/culture of the language being spoken is a strange affectation - if the Peruvian guy in the video had adopted a comedy English accent to speak English it would have been a curious sight.
Anyone might speak other languages with degrees of fluency, but they don't speak them natively.
