You can still get a new PS1 clone btw. Disc drive and all

Pretty sure now you can do it without the chip, unless I'm thinking of PS2. And N64 flash carts have gotten cheap and are easy to install

Alright, let me know when TikTok and YouTube let my posts reach all the people I grew up with before being harassed out of my home area by the cops and banned from Facebook. I'm pretty sure a lot of them still believe the rumor someone started saying I killed myself.

If you're talking about downloading the same file twice, you can also pause the torrent, put the finished file in the folder it would be downloading to (make sure it fully matches, same name) then right click the torrent and select "force recheck" to make your client see it has it already

Guy can't even design a car without cameras and internet anymore after the original Tesla roadster

Definitely useful for helping prevent content from being taken down. Torrents remain searchable through DHT but without seeds they're just clogging search results

It's probably not about Bitcoin (in the long run) but it's definitely not started as a crypto exchange like the original claim said

More like started as a twitter full of people obsessed with bitcoin

Of course I wouldn't

Are you seriously suggesting people should stay at employers who force them to share their paycheck with Bill Gates to be inundated with malware instead of switching to Linux?

And are you seriously implying that applies even for a person who is spending 30% of their work time dealing with the malware specifically?

[–] iloveDigit@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

I agree on those points at least

I have never put a lightning address on my current nostr profile. I spend hours a day on nostr and people only comment on me being "unzappable" (untippable) a few times a month

But are you saying you'd quit piefed if they added a built in wallet for every user? For me it would depend how it works

Either way I thought we were discussing the rhetorical question about "crypto powered social media." That seemed like a totally fair way to save time getting clarification, instead of explaining the whole issue with the vagueness

 

A lot of people hated the first version of this in the first places I posted it, so I've tried to improve it a bit, but I'm still not quite sure how it will be received. Is here a good place for it?

Each group's approach


Progressive

We want to stop using our taxes to bomb brown kids / march towards extinction. We want the freedom to work for our own survival.

Without funding bombs, we could eliminate the biggest tax burdens, shift remaining taxes more fairly, and provide basic needs like food and shelter.

You might not hear these ideas every day. We're so outnumbered by extinction cultists, it's probably harder to encounter us than to encounter liars who say "banning guns is progress" or "leftists support starvation" or something. Lately, we're basically not allowed to be famous in real life, so I'm just a picture of Captain Kirk from Star Trek.


"Socialist"

If we get enough power, we will provide basic needs like food. However, we will repeatedly ask you to re-explain how "warlord taxes" and a "societal extinction cult" stop you from wanting an "actual paying job."

When we're tired of paying for your food, we aren't really sure if we'll kill you, enslave you, or finally get what you're saying / let you work for your own survival. Some of us might "move right." Some might "move left." We're at least listening to your points.

You've probably heard all these ideas before. Don't worry. You'll hear our ideas again, and again, and again. We're one of the groups backed by the FCC.


"Moderate Right"

If we get enough power, we will enslave you for not willingly joining our extinction cult.

Social programs will be put in place to make sure you can't be homeless, because you can't be jobless.

We'll keep your living/working conditions just tolerable enough to make you comply.

You've probably heard all these ideas before. Don't worry. You'll hear our ideas again, and again, and again. We're one of the groups backed by the FCC.


"Far Right"

If we get enough power, we will kill you ASAP for not joining our extinction cult.

We'll call that "freedom" because we'll be "free" to do whatever we want to outsiders: people with the wrong behavior or skin color for our in-group.

Since you're dead, you won't be able to argue "freedom" means "not having a bunch of dumb rules people can be killed for ignoring."

You've probably heard all these ideas before. Don't worry. You'll hear our ideas again, and again, and again. We're one of the groups backed by the FCC.

Not sure where I can actually post this.

Each group's approach


Progressive

If we get enough power, we will stop using your tax money to bomb brown kids / march towards extinction.

That will mean you're free to work for your own survival. The savings will also let us cut taxes overall.

You might not hear these basic, obvious ideas every day. We're so outnumbered by extinction cultists, it's probably harder to encounter us than to encounter liars who say "banning guns is progress" or "leftists support starvation" or something. Lately, we're basically not allowed to be famous in real life, so I'm just a picture of Captain Kirk from Star Trek.


"Socialist"

If we get enough power, we will become "social workers" who give you basic needs like food and water in exchange for the time you spend explaining basic shit to us. However, we will constantly bitch at you about how hard it is to understand what you're saying, and how we wish you would just join our extinction cult instead.

When we get tired of paying for your food and stuff, we aren't really sure if we'll kill you, or enslave you, or finally listen to what you're saying / let you work for your own survival.

Native preview builds for both Nintendo 64 and Linux are now available for an open source "cryptographic multitool" I proposed last year. Users on Windows, MacOS, etc. can potentially test the N64 version using an emulator. Note: I've only tested it on an emulator myself so far, haven't tried it on a real Nintendo 64 yet.

This is currently being made by developer bowler-bear. Long term future plans include air-gapped wallet functionality and text encryption someday. For now, you can only generate vanity wallet addresses or nostr keys, or use button-mashing or actual dice rolls to generate more random ones. This first preview is a bit rough around the edges. Keep in mind it isn't secure RNG yet, it's just for testing.

Git repo

Original proposal
https://bounties.monero.social/posts/168

Built using the libdragon SDK, which is newish and doesn't work in a lot of the oldest / most-used emulators like mupen64. I'll test it on real hardware soon. If anyone else does before me, let me know how it goes. Ares emulator is recommended by libdragon - https://ares-emu.net/
