Would people be interested in watching livestreams of 3d modelling or is that stupid? I'm redoing some of my old stuff from Fusion into FreeCAD, especially my kayak parts. I don't claim to be an expert but if you like to see the process I'll stream it.

In the US if you display the flag upside down it is a sign of distress, a call for help or possibly protest. If the flag is backwards it is a representation of carrying the flag into battle. If you live in a country where your flag is symmetrical in both axes, how do you know if it's backwards or upside down??

Yeah I guess that's true. It's nice that ZS lets you be anon and sets you up a recieve wallet which can be changed or forwarded from, but again, at some point if it is difficult to use, doing your own set up and posting to one of the mainstream places might work better.

It's 2025 and people are still using coinbase. I honestly don't have much hope for this species. This won't change things.
Despite hiring wage slaves who stole data,
despite participating in insider trading pump and dumps on retail,
despite pushing every previous contentious fork even though bitcoin is what made them,
despite hiring hackers who helped get journalists killed by oppressive regimes,
despite actively working with governments to track your spending and undermine your privacy
people will keep using them bc they have easy ui/ux and good SEO.

He pushes code to straight to main. How's that for ad hominem? Go ahead and run code maintained by one guy, cause that really helps with decentralization. He's CTO for a Dorsey company and his pinned tweet is still him begging for community support. Dude couldnt even secure his own bitcoin and then begged FBI for help, not to mention he has actively worked against L1 privacy. That's the character of the person we're talking about.
I don't know what you're on about with the cats, but I've clearly touched a nerve. Run whatever software you want but don't act like you're saving Bitcoin by running knots.

If you're looking for a mobile bitcoin wallet that cares about privacy, download Ashigaru. It is the spiritual successor of Samourai. You do have to pair it to a dojo(bitcoin node+), but if you aren't in a place to run your own, you can choose from one listed on Dojobay.pw . My dojo is now listed on there as well.

We are lead to believe at an early age that these diseases would otherwise kill people in mass numbers. It gets ground in. Then if you're in science they add another layer of that. Then if you work in healthcare they double down again. By the time you get there it's assumed to a level like the requirement to breathe air.

That sounds good but what do you actually mean by it? Im not just being contrarian. In an ideal scenario for you, are you paid in bitcoin and paying for everything in bitcoin? Or are you using Bitcoin for privacy and censorship resistance specifically? The answers to those questions determine the way you approach it and therefore the outcomes that you get.

Conversely if people keep using these things in permissioned, custodial, registered ways and then get rugged or reported they're worse than if they'd used cash.
Instead of fixing issues at the protocol or even app layer, "solution as a service" gets promoted and then people give up trying to fix the original issue. Influencers and service providers use the social layer to promote their products and say people who are critical arent trying, which is disingenuous.

Why is "maximizing adoption" the goal? Good ux without sacrificing privacy and sovereignty should be the goal. If 80% of normies are never gonna use it correctly anyway, why are we chasing them down and making sacrifices to get them to use it poorly? When the goal is popularity you will get this kind of product.
There are bitcoin apps you can download and "just use" without sacrificing sovereignty if you use onchain, even without your own node (though it's better with). Fees are low. There's little need for lightning. I don't outright hate lightning, but it has yet to deliver what it was advertised as and it's almost 10 years old.

Still think it's off the mark to brag about things being permissionless and working flawlessly with a larger than average payment when the receiver is on a custodial solution with a bitcoin bank. I have strong doubts that would have worked if he was using his own node.
