I feel like once you are fine letting go of everything, then no one can really control you, right? @DarthCoin

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 12 Oct 2023

Yes. Once you let all your fear out, nothing can control you. Fear is eating you from inside. Stop worrying for the day of tomorrow. Let it be. For more you are worrying, your life will be more miserable, ugly and sad. Your projection into the future will have a big impact in your future actions. Find the balance between your feelings and projections and your life will be a nice journey. Life is a journey and not a race (to be the richest, the smartest, the stronger, the best in x whatever).

Lesson of today: NEVER put anything important on someone else's hand because reliable people are RARE, and nobody would care more than you.

And I noticed that many people don't understand why they got paid in the first place, exactly to solve problems! Hiring the wrong people would bring you more trouble in the end.

I'm not sure I've pinpointed the exact issue, but making more use of useCallback and useMemo in the MarkdownInput and UserSuggest components seems to be helping locally. At least, I see fewer longer commits in the profiler

21 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 12 Oct 2023

I suspect if might be enough to not setUserDropdownStyle and setMentionIndices on every change. These object literals each have a new reference and trigger a rerender even if the object is functionally identical.

Has there been consideration given to charge sats to change your nym? I wonder if that might help with the imposter issues with darth coin. @k00b

good idea, maybe the fist change cost 100 sats, second change cost 1000 sats, third change cost 10000 sats? etc

I don't think a honest pleb need to change so much of their nym, so charge more when they are changing more 😂😂

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 12 Oct 2023

We've discussed it but haven't decided how it should work.

Should it be a flat cost for each edit?

Should changing to a shorter nym be more expensive than a longer name?

Should changing to a nym with a short hamming distance relative to other nyms be more expensive?

If I'm a new stacker, should I have to pay to establish my first chosen nym?

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 12 Oct 2023

A few stackers lately have been saying that they are a bit unwell, I guess mostly due to the weather change, so let's try to share some natural healing tips to help each other to be stronger, but it has to be from your first-hand experience - something you have verified.

Here are some of the things I have tried, and they work for me:

For simple cold Hot tea mixed with honey.

For sore throat Try mixing ginger, lemon with hot water and honey.

Also, whenever you are feeling unwell, eat less and sleep more, your body will do the work for you. And don't forget this: your body is way more powerful than you think - your body has been "learning" from all the past generations, and the force is within you.

You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop.

Other tips

avoid negativity: news, social media and toxic people
avoid dramas
avoid junk food
spend more time in nature
fill life with beauty, positivity and fun

And photo of today: can you guess what fun I'm trying to capture here?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a live international news channel in English that actually presents the news?

33 sats \ 2 replies \ @Bitman 12 Oct 2023

I'd guess for a channel to deliver live, 24 hour news they'd need a lot of staff and resources, and therefore big budget - difficult to be independent when you've got big backers.

If you're running on a skeleton crew a channel might just cut corners and repeat news everyone else is pushing and therefore stop being journalists any more.

The only independent set up that is of any quality is based in NYC. I used to listen to them all the time at work - I just read their headlines and interviews now for speed.

The show started small, first just audio, but now have a swish new studio and put out a one hour live show each weekday. They were a few blocks away from the twin towers on 9-11 and still kept broadcasting if I remember rightly. A few of the guys from The Intercept first cut their teeth there.

Maybe check them out:

Oh yeah. I assume you probably listened to WBAI radio? I am very familiar with them. Their news has a strong socialist slant, but I find myself listening or watching their YouTube channel as a distinct perspective. I must say they have been particularly good regarding recent middle east stuff.

33 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bitman 12 Oct 2023

Yeah, they're really good at reporting news from the middle east. They seem to get lots of academics on and get them to lay out what they know. I remember they had their own boots on the ground reporter during the Egyptian uprising.

Sadly, they don't seem to accept Bitcoin yet. They accept lots of other ways to support them including unwanted tech that they need in the studio.

They're broadcast on multiple radio channels nationwide - not just in NYC.

(You're right about YouTube too though! I used to download their show via torrents.)

Yes. That's what I mean. When I was a kid there was a NYC radio station that would rattle off news headlines. The slogan was "You give us 22 minutes, we give you the world." The station still broadcasts, but it's been propagandized and no longer just rattles off events. I know even the choice of story involves bias. I still would just like a long list of headlines to choose from.

From a propaganda perspective I know it's hopeless. I can try to weed through both sides and come to an approximation of what I think the truth is. The problem is that it's all repetitive propaganda stories. I just want an approximation of a straight news feed: Earthquake here, fire burned down a building there, Syria shot missiles into Golan Heights...

From all the years in communism and later watching the western media doing the same thing (but with more colors and fun) I realized that the only way to get the best "news" is to not consume them.

By consuming their propaganda you are just giving them a reason to exist, they literally feeding from your fear and concerns.

Just relax, do your own business and move away. The world is much better without them. Bitcoin is the best example or destination to where you should dive in, when you are overwhelmed with their garbage news. There's so much to learn about Bitcoin that you will never finish.

I will repeat this over and over: focus on merchant adoption (if you are not a coder that builds bitcoin apps). Is the key to go forward. Be the bridge between bitcoin devs and consumers if you have some good knowledge about Bitcoin.

Just by starving the beast (fiat machine) all the rest will go away, including all those fake propaganda news.

This meme have a true meaning that few still get it...
