@DMN737 There's a lot wrong with that artwork! Irs supposed to be a clock, with a ball travelling around the spiral. But you can't see the ball easily, and mechanically it doesn't work well in it's intended vertical orientation. I had an earlier version that was horizontal, pure white and backlit with leds. But you can't sell horizontal artworks....

@notresz Most mature software, with the largest user group.

Scuttlebutt would have been my first choice - it's really cool - but it's not there yet.

@DMN737 yes! And then worked full time as an analog electronics designer at a gravity gradiometry startup. Also did part of a physics degree before dropping out to do bitcoin stuff.

One of my timepiece artworks, the spiral clock.

@dilutionproof @harrym He's still doing Bitcoin stuff. But not as publicly as before. I think the block size nonsense burned him out a bit from being too much in the public eye. I still talk to him regularly.

I've never seen a supposed "right wing extremist" remind me so much of the insane hippie lefties I knew in art school. 😂

I'd be really curious to know if Biden is wearing a vented, or unvented, mask under that surgical mask.

If it's unvented, that's just crazy paranoia - masks aren't designed to be worn in pairs, and the extra resistance just makes them worse. If it's vented, he may have a point.

The reporting on this isn't clear, thus promoting paranoia:

@eiaine Absolutely. Twitter just invited severe regulation on the whole industry.

For example: https://polandin.com/51388314/justice-minister-announces-online-freedom-of-speech-bill

"Under its provisions, social media services will not be allowed to remove content or block accounts if the content on them does not break Polish law."

The fact is moderation _is_ part of the value proposition of services like Twitter, over decentralized/federated protocols like Mastodon. A huge leveling of the playing field may be coming, fast.

'The president of the Pasco Association of Educators claims reopening schools for in-person learning is an example of “white supremacy,” and compares listening to concerned parents to following rioters breaking into the U.S. Capitol. He even says concern over student suicide is an example of “white privilege.”'

Reminds me of a far-left art school classmate who responded to COVID-19 with "so what if a bunch of white dudes die?"

It's minorities that it hits hardest.

@miketwenty1 It's good to acknowledge your own level of hypocrisy. :)

@evankaloudis You just ruined the Lighting protocol for me.

@alex Third link down for "is beer racist" https://www.amazon.com/Beer-Racism-Movements-Sociology-Diversity/dp/1529201799

"Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movements to Change It (Sociology of Diversity)"

Sad thing is, having a fine arts degree and years of experience around these people, I somehow just knew that beer would certainly be characterized as racist...

@verretor For extra points you can report yourself: https://pl.anon-kenkai.com/notice/A3CUVchQNYgr4s5YES 😂

@SteakDestroyer @nvk @BTCPayServer That would be good! Especially if you timestamped that data - or better yet, commit to it with a certificate transparency style blockchain.

@nvk @BTCPayServer I'm talking about IM too. In fact, I wish I had archived more of it.

FWIW, my OpenTimestamps calendars are hosted on Amazon AWS and Digital Ocean.

@verretor It's pretty lol that https://bitcoinhackers.org/@verretor/105529754705395297 is on their list of examples. It's the kind of statement that I'd expect a high school civics class to discuss seriously, with a bias to giving bad marks to anyone who disagreed with it.
