Thinking about streaming me playing Piano with no face shown and not much interaction with the chat, just me playing and and them listening.

But then I need a camera setup that looks down at my fingers and hook it up to zap.stream or something 🤔👀

Sounds like an interesting problem to solve though!

Is stacker news friendly to all types or is it off-putting to non techy non Bitcoin people?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Scoresby 19 Mar

My experience is that it's a pretty friendly place (I post a lot of weird shit), but there certainly is a cultural slant towards bitcoin which just means you get a little more interaction when you post about stuff broadly in the bitcoin sphere.

Over the weekend my son and I did some 3d printing together. If any of you have printers, what are some things you've created?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Natalia 18 Mar

curious - why not actually MAKE the things instead of printing them?

but then I don't know what you are printing...

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @kepford 18 Mar

Its a headphone holder that mounts under your desk and slides out of the way when not in use. Your question confuses me. What about taking plans, tweaking them. Setting up the tools. Buying materials and then running the machine. Seeing issues. Making further modifications... what about that isn't making?

I'm guessing you have never used a 3d printer. It isn't like a paper printer. Its a tool that requires a significant amount of work to set up and there is a lot of trial an error. Despite the hype, its not an easy button for manufacturing. Actually, the hype around 3d printing from years ago reminds me of the hype today about AI.

Here's the even funnier thing to me about people in the privacy movement and 3d printing. And I mean people that have never done it. From my perspective, learning to grow your own food is far more dangerous to the state, more of threat than 3d printers. When you know how to feed yourself and your community. When you build a strong community with food security... well why do you need the state. But I never hear people being coy about gardening lol. The vast majority of 3d printing people are making crap. Making stupid toys not useful tools. Especially in places like the US. But I get it. Its fun to play into the fearmongering the state and media pump out about how dangerous we all are. Those extremists!

Based on my experience with 3d printing and people that have never done it... there are a lot of misconceptions about it :) It is a powerful tool for freedom but there's a lot of hype about how dangerous it is for society.

I’ve printed a toilet handle, a doorstop, gun parts, and random accessories to the printer.

I’m looking to explore if 3d printing could significantly alter my consumption habits. If @DarthCoin can build a wilderness fortress in 2023, TheWildHustle should be able to have custom pleb designed 3d printed…

Furniture Gardening tools Kitchen plates/forks etc. Random fixes (doorknobs etc.) Home renovations (countertops etc.) Shoes Bikes Weapons Music (record player, guitar etc.)

In ten years. “Two weeks”

3d printing should further decrease the sovereign individuals reliance on 3rd party intermediaries, and having all of the prints above in your personal cloud server is pretty wild.

Last call for 1750 sat bounty in my interactive serial story. Here's part 5 where the bounties are, but here's part 1 so you can start at the beginning if you're not already caught up.

It's a scifi story that brings together tech, engineering, economics, and TBD/you'll see.

One bounty is for anyone who can guess the riddle in the story. The other bounty is for the best idea of what an acronym in the story should stand for.

I'll be posting the next part in the series tomorrow morning, so bring those guesses and ideas!

Does the free market erode moral character ?

Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-free market, but I'd like to hear from stackers on this topic. Are you in favor of a completely free market, or should some sectors be more protected than others ? What are the limits of morality in free markets ?

What's your thoughts about the ~AGORA?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @0xbitcoiner 18 Mar

It's true that there's no such thing as a truly free market. However, there are some sectors where there's more freedom than others. The question goes deeper than that, though: does a free market erode moral character? Where do we draw the line?

For example, in the US healthcare sector, I've heard that they can refuse assistance to someone who doesn't have health insurance.

Sequoia ?

32 sats \ 3 replies \ @gnilma 18 Mar

I think so. They call it redwood, but I think it's just another name for sequoia.

Sequoioideae, commonly referred to as Redwoods, is a subfamily of coniferous trees within the family Cupressaceae, that range in the northern hemisphere.

So I ordered the omelet special, which I was told was a vegetarian omelet. When it arrived the waiter said "Sir, enjoy your western omelet." I said "Excuse me, I ordered the omelet special." He said, "yes, this is the special." I said "I thought it was vegetarian?" He said, "Oh yes,we changed it." Now I like vegetarian omelets, but I'm not a vegetarian, so I ate the western omelet. Good ham.
