Michael Malice said it best recently. We all need to trust experts around us in our daily lives. The problem isn't trusting experts, it's being told to trust "the" experts. The "the" is the problem. I'd argue the same goes for "the" science, etc.

They might not distrust "science", but "The Science"

I sometimes wonder if there's communication and negotiation happening through back channels.

Usually there would be but when the public posturing is this aggressive, I wonder

I wish more people regurgitated Woods & Horton instead of regurgitating Cheney & McCain

Guessing it's the 1$ buy for 25cents fee

Barron probably told his dad GTA6 is coming out soon and all his friends will need new rigs

I always assumed there was a technical or economical reason all multisig I've encountered so far seemed to use "3xxx" nested segwit (instead of native segwit or Taproot)

is that not the case?

Then again I haven't rabbitholed into multisig proper yet

Only time I see legacy addresses are for multisig these days

Ah yes I remember that.

".com stands for commercial so it's about money so don't trust it!"

in my case Wikipedia was still somewhat new, and what they all said was "Anyone can edit any page so you can't trust it!"

I clearly remember a grade where any online source was refused; only references to books from a library were ok.

Then there was a short time in history where they allowed online sources but said "not wikipedia though, wiki is not a source" but everyone knew you didn't cite Wikipedia itself, you cited the sources that wikipedia cited.

Then they gave up (and on to the next thing to resist)

I'm getting all those grocery bags inside in one single trip no matter what

random .txt files dragged through the ages from hard drive to hard drive are underrated

How often do your emails get dropped/rejected when running a self-hosted email server these days? Always thought, in large part thanks to Google, it gets difficult to spin up self-hosted email without getting flagged by spam detectors or other reputation-based systems.

Edit: just saw you replied below to somewhat answer this. Hmm. Still looks like trouble but less than I expected.

The Star Wars Kid had a pretty bad time being a meme apparently. I was initially tempted to think he should've gotten over it and appreciated being a meme, but then I remembered it was pretty early internet culture, and I imagine it definitely made you more of a loser at school bad then. Lots of bullying and whatnot.

Edit: wow I didn't know they actually did a documentary on that guy https://www.nfb.ca/film/star-wars-kid-the-rise-of-the-digital-shadows/

We won't really know if he actually has 1M of 21M supply, or if it's paper Bitcoin on a spreadsheet, until Saylor withdraws from Coinbase

A Chinese fel cloth farmer huh

How long until vibe coded websites generate a humans.txt file

Another chance to make this early GameStop saga meme real
