I love this guy
Let me know if you find one in the US! I'd love to visit / move there. I've been in Madeira for the past month and it's absolutely wonderful how walkable Funchal's Old Town is. It's as fun as I hoped, and certainly hope to grow old in a town like this.
Yeah a browser might be the right move. The problem is that you would want a browser that would be simultaneously MORE capable and yet somehow more secure for working with private / local date and information. Those might be at odds? At the very least I'd love an "app browser" that loads wasm + webgpu apps quickly from urls and can operate on local data (local sqlite dbs, a keychain in a secure enclave, your photos)
I think many bitcoiners could expand / refine their understanding of trust. Even the mantra of "trusted third parties are security holes" has a lot of nuance to it if you look at the context:
A corollary of “trusted third parties are security holes” is “all security protocols have security holes”, since no protocol is fully free of such assumptions. The key steps in estimating TTP costs and risk are to (1) examine one’s assumptions thoroughly to uncover all TTP assumptions and characterize specifically what each TTP is and is not expected to do, (2) observe that each such specific hole and task has an associated cost and risk.
I attempted a series of essays on trust that didn't exactly take the bitcoin world by storm but I think it's worth the time to meditate on the subtleties (such as, well-placed trust is a beautiful thing, so obviously "trust" is not something to be avoided in all cases), even if my writeup didn't illuminate them very well.

these are great!
I was going for cyberpunk and technology interacting with a pirate ship. but midjourney didn't really like integrating those ideas... it was usually either a technology thing in a technology place, or an old boat in a rustic setting.
the prompt was:
old pirate ship under construction in neotokyo :: daytime, synthwave, neon, blue, directed by Denis Villeneuve --ar 3:2
here are some other ones I liked:
1600s pirate yacht with sails being built by robot construction workers in neotokyo dock :: daytime, synthwave, 4k, neon, deep blue, directed by Denis Villeneuve --ar 3:2 --s 1000 --v 5
drone shot of a 1600s pirate yacht with sails under construction in neotokyo dry dock :: synthwave, 4k, neon, deep blue --ar 3:2 --s 1000 --v 5
drone shot of a 1600s pirate ship under construction in the center of a surreal cyberpunk landscape :: synthwave, 4k, neon, deep blue --ar 3:2 --s 750 --v 5

Probably as trustless as is possible, but with the
vulnerable to == trusting metric in mind:- Did you read the code?
- Did you audit the compiler?
- Did you audit the operating system you're running it on?
- Did you audit the chips you're running the OS on?
It's also pretty common for even the most technical bitcoiners to go through a path of trusting certain components of the system before they have the time to fully understand them, and for less technical bitcoiners there are a lot of things they just have trust that a good enough number of devs have audited stuff.
I'm @futurepaul (gotta trust me lol) but lost my login. Happy to discuss this if anyone has any questions or comments.
