Oh man! Rabbit hole time!
Doh! I knew the LNBITS wallet I had on that demo was shot, but it looks like the next block anticipated time api is now out of date too.
š¬š¬š¬š¬ I actually still have a Facebook profile⦠I donāt think Iāve logged in in years though and really just kept it so no one else could be the fake me easily.
Did I ever share this on SN? It's the first thing I did after taking the @bitcoinplebdev class. Sadly, it's before I learned the whole @media thing, so it only works on laptop screens that are pretty close to the one that I built it on, but it's kind of fun if you've got the right sized screen and dig the whole TNG aesthetic.
I want to say I'm jealous, but I know that ultimately we all decide where we're at on this spectrum, so I'll just say that's awesome! I look back VERY fondly on pre-cellphone days.
Yeah, at the end of the day, I'm hoping the main point that I'm conveying here is that everybody has their reason for standing where they do in these spectrums, and we can't read each other's brains to really know why. I'm willing to accept the inconvenience of not using WhatsApp because I can. It's just that, inconvenient. If it meant not being able to communicate with a loved one, or putting a strain on my marriage, that would change the whole game for me too.
One of my pensioned friends in the EU proudly explained to me that WhatsApp is surveillance tech and that their whole art class has now migrated Signal.
That's awesome!
Then we had a conversation about "chat control".
Yeah, sadly, despite this post, I still need more of this type of instruction...
My Spanish is really weak (sorry, at this point Iām focusing on Xhosa for obviously reasons), but if Iām hearing you right, things are really bad in Cuba too? Sorry to hear it, and sad to say Iām not surprised. I pray that solutions emerge for the people there asap. Are there Bitcoin initiatives that youāve seen there helping at all?
Thanks man. Canāt say my project is really poised for success right now, but I guess I can say Iām really in the middle of a big leap.
Willing to share any juicy excerpts? Iām sad to say, Iāve never read his nonfiction and Iām curious how well the humor would translate to a modern philistine like myself.
I wasn't around for the prime days of @handsome_latino, but I really enjoyed what I did get to read from him, and all the cool tools he made to track bitcoin stats.
