I subbed my npub in so people can send me coffee. I find that personally more useful.

I guess this is what America First means...

I'd like to, but I've talking a lot of shit about Elon, and I'm afraid my rocket would have an unfortunate malfunction that sent me hurling out of the galaxy.

Ok, but that's still not the same as claiming he's working for the Democrats. You're conflating different things.

I believe it's "bomb diggy" now.

I think we're talking about two different things. I guess you're talking about AI, and I'm not. Oh well.

I haven't used any of these AI programs, but I'm wondering if they could help me find an apartment for my sister if I specify particular criteria. Which one would be the best? ChatGPT? That Grok thing? And is there some guide on writing prompts that could help me create the most effective query? Any help greatly appreciated. #asknostr 🙏🪙

There's having a bad day, then there's this...

Daily. I'm obsessed with maintaining a clean browsing environment, and that means no errant taps just lurking. The people on the other end of the spectrum are the people who have hundreds of open tabs. That's maddening to me, and I think those people are insane. Lol

Wow, this is crazy! Gene Hackman, his wife, and their dog were all found dead in their New Mexico home, but police don't suspect foul play and haven't determined a cause of death. I was thinking maybe it was suicide pact sorts thing because the dog was also dead, but now I'm thinking maybe a carbon monoxide, or radon leak. That's nuts. He was phenomenal actor; one who never delivered a mediocre performance. His role as Lex Luther in Super Man was the first thing I saw him in, and I was a fan ever since. RIP Gene! https://nypost.com/2025/02/27/entertainment/gene-hackman-and-wife-betsy-found-dead-in-new-mexico-home-police

What's an AI hallucination?

Wait.. You started at S02E01? Like, you didn't watch the entire first season? I wonder why you didn't get! Lol Maybe start with S02E01 and give it another shot. The Pirate Bay has the whole first season. Or if you have Apple TV you can stream it. Report back once you've seen the first 3 or 4 episodes... Of season 1! 😁

If past is prologue, this probably isn't the scandal it's being made out to be. It's very possible we don't have the whole story, and are making an emotional, knee-jerk judgement without having all the facts. Given that just yesterday there was a scandal about Politico receiving $8 million from USAID that turned out to be a big nothingburger based on incomplete information that Trump's staff misunderstood, it's probably prudent to wait until more complete information comes out that adds necessary context. https://www.rawstory.com/politico-trump-2671111146

Tariffs cannot replace income tax to fund the government. It's just not enough. Because the higher the tariffs, the higher consumer prices, and less the American people will purchase. Reduced purchasing will decrease the amount of income from tariffs the longer the tariffs remain in place. You cannot tax the American people into prosperity, which is exactly what high tariffs seeks to accomplish. The same goes for excessive sales tax to compensate for low or no income tax. The burden falls predominantly on the poor and middle class while the wealthy proceed as usual. The result of this drastically reduced purchasing by the majority of Americans is fewer businesses able to remain in operation, and a self-reinforcing inflationary cycle. High tariffs —> higher prices —> less purchasing —> fewer businesses —> less tariff revenue —> higher prices This cycle will drive the United States into a depression, creating a multitude of social crisises similar to what we saw in the Great Depression. We could be looking at 20 or more years of abject poverty, and the destruction of the middle class as we dig ourselves deeper and deeper into economic dispair.

That's awfully devious. And kinda antisocial. I like it.

It doesn't seem that Trump is particularly interested in the devestating impact a ridiculous trade war would have on the American people. If he starts imposing these ludicrous tariffs, other countries will do the same. Consumer prices will skyrocket, and the availability of foreign goods will plummet. Since we rely on foreign goods for literally everything, the effect on the economy will be enormous, and the American people will endure serious hardship. Similarly, American merchants who depend on exports to foreign nations will see their revenues slashed drastically. And of course it will be the poor and middle class who suffers the most while the wealthy will continue on relatively unscathed. The extent of the looming crisis cannot be overstated.

Leet Ass? Lol

If it's an Alby NWC, it would be using Alby's NWC relay, right? I think we'd expect the problem to manifest across the Alby user base if the embedded relay was the issue. No?

You look pretty happy, prancing around in the snow. The beginning is kinda weird.

You'd think it would be really easy to just inciude a conversion script that dynamically adjusted the sat price based on the current fiat value in the e-commerce platform. That way, merchants wouldn't have to be concerned with the fluctuating conversion rate. It could just be automatically managed in the background.

That means there's nothing wrong with scanning and decoding the QR, but with the decoded data contained in the QR, or with the application or process that's interpreting and applying the information contained within the QR. From the OP, I was under the impression that he's unable to successfully scan and decode the QR, which is why I asked the question that I asked.

Is the phone successfully scanning and decoding the QR? Or are you unable to navigate to the link that's been successfully scanned and decoded? I was under the impression that you were unable to successfully scan and decode the QR on this one particular device. If you're able to successfully scan and decode the QR but unable to successfully navigate to the link, that's not a problem with your phone or with scanning the QR. That's an issue of you being unable to contact the specific link contained in the QR for whatever reason.
