This sounds similar to... anything at a large organization. Try getting medical care without being asked much more... or try registering a cellphone or reloadable debit card. Or building a house or renting a room.

The 21st century expects you to have and surrender lots of data.

@bevan maybe this could be a two-tiered metric... high water mark could be factored in somehow (or displayed in parentheses) ? For sentimental purposes...

Have you already set up your wallet in the other browsers using the same seed words?

Appreciate the link. I had hear of something called "turtl" notes, but this one is new to me. Will check it out!

Interesting point.

+1 for civil disobedience, again.

Citizens and their guns will not outgun a tyranical government any longer, imho.

We need new and more powerful ways to keep governments in check. And we may, in fact, be using one right now.

That said, you can be violent with anything. We should focus on the violence.

I can appreciate the desire to arm your citizens when you have a deep distrust of government itself and are drafting a constitution to protect your children from things you've fought to extricate yourself from.

Now, the government has bigger guns. We need transparency, not guns.

Stealing things probably needs to be illegal for society to function. We probably need property rights.

But making things illegal in a space where people can be anonymous seems unenforceable. Implementing lists of uncashable tokens at the social level seems better.

Compatible?

Is intent going to matter here? Think of devops199, should they have been liable for experimenting with a live blockchain and breaking things?

Every public blockchain has a low level governance function. It's called a fork.

Maybe an unpopular opinion... but I think it's the only governance function they ought to have.

I don't believe in "experts" when it comes to fledgling tech and ideas.

I also don't believe in expert chartists or traders... does anybody...? Maybe the term "professional" is less contentious.

Hey, Chris made it!!

Welcome to Peepeth!

Should it be "illegal" to "hack" a public blockchain? Should it be illegal to interfere with a smart contract if such interference causes individuals to lose wealth? What about protocol level interference? What about nefariously obtaining access to someone's private keys?

Love this.

So if **you** bring your encrypted DNA into some countries... you go to jail...

I wish lawmakers had more incentive to think past their next election term.

Thanks. Does Murmur ever have downtime? The front end is centralized, correct?

Will check it out when I have some free time.

How does Murmur compare to Peepeth, in your opinion?

#I-Agree-CallMeGwei

I like my layer one to be as public and decentralized as possible while still allowing for Turing complete creativity.

Now, after those criteria are met... by all means, let the transaction speed be the tiebreaker.

Awesome!!!

Good work there, team.

Not a bad idea, really. Even if it only slowed you for a small interval.

This is dangerous.

People don't like being forced. Expect irrationality.

Pic of the iron, or I'm skeptical...

*Not really, but a picture would be cool with a 'status update' post.*

Loved the responses to this!

Mine is when I realized I could type html into a file on my Windows 98 desktop and view it in the browser. Changes were fast. This was before CSS. One file... and endless possibilities. That was cool. Still is.

Warcraft II shortcuts in second place.

What's the best memory you have that involves a keyboard? ⌨

@arfanzo, are the recent ethereum posts due to the udemy class? Or just doing some experiments beforehand?

If it's the class... initial impressions?

"Nice" vendors let you own your stuff...

Literally implement slow scroll? Or throttle incoming notifications and posts?

🤔

Only having seen the URL:

Like with everything else in the universe, the bifurcation is probably not that clean.

Dividing the world into camps has already happened over and over again to the detriment of the global community.

I'd prefer just to say: we can finally do p2p.

Many of them deserve the utmost respect. They just didn't win the geopolitical birth lottery. Someone receiving UBI may or may not be deserving of respect, but not based on their income alone, anyway.

Respecting wealth as a proxy for work goes right out the door when you travel.

To me, you don't respect people for what they have. You respect them for what they're passionate about. In fairy-tale land we assume that great wealth means they deserved it... that they did great work. Then you step outside of privilege and see people working for almost nothing.

There's something about blurring the lines between income generation and games that may end up cannibalizing the latter.

I wouldn't play any number of games I enjoy if there were a monetary element or large investment cost.

To me, it totally undermines the relaxation component.

In what ways, specifically was it lacking? If you're using a virtualized linux machine for "most development" why not just use a windows vm for the things that are lacking on linux? Just curious.

Appreciate any pro tips! :-)

Yes. I remember kitchens. Still on my "Android" days though. Something about owning a phone and not having the required "permissions" to make it do what you want trumps almost any other consideration for me.

Luckily, (hopefully,) Purism will bring an alternative in the Librem 5.

Uh huh... that's exactly how it goes!

Better than the alternative though!!

**Right?**

It's unenforceable.

Coding a site on ipfs to allow people to post content without upload filters and having it accessible via an .eth address leaves no one to "fine" for this ludicrous legislation.

Without healthy civil disobedience all our freedoms may disappear, apparently.

How do you feel about it?

As the EU passes a law that holds platforms liable for copyright infringement and implies automated filters are now required...

Web3 is looking like a better deal all the time. It may not just be the "new" internet... it might allow the internet as you know it to survive, too.

I'm using Ubuntu.

I also like VS Code, PyCharm, WebStorm, Android Studio... (JetBrains fan)

I still have Atom installed, but it doesn't get used all that much.

I spent a week or two forcing myself you use VIM, but still generally fall back to pico.

What are using @bevan ?

Wouldn't using DAI directly result in less complexity? (CanYa ecosystem value capture aside...)

The end... **stability**, is good... so bravo!

Well... without looking at the media... how'd that go?

All the things that get trampled on in the name of profits...

What else does the media distort and who else is a causality of the distortion?

Never mind, let's shorten the list significantly... what and who *isn't* ...

P.S.

@Zanzi would call it "blockchain chicken" - I think - according to his latest post. 😜

There's a bird cropped out of the picture!
It's coming to scoop him up!

It should be labeled "blockchain"... but it is, admittedly, a little further in the distance (up there in the clouds) than the guy is probably comfortable with.

Hope he can hang on!

Whoa there! I thought *I* was gonna have the head start! ;-)

That's pretty interesting! What's that called? Link for for the curious?

From the #archives

...as true today as it was three months ago...

@bevan

From the #archives - as well as an amended version:

*Don't disappear when you're ~~done~~ building Peepeth.*

I appreciate what you've built and what you continue to build here.
Thank you.

What's something interesting you've learned lately?

✍ I'll go first, with a few things:

1) How to send a transaction from command line with geth.
2) The word 'bagal' in Tagalog means 'slow' in English.
3) Doorknob design where a bar goes through the whole thing > alternatives.

I, personally, think it's better if they're accompanied by some sort of description so more people can follow what's going on. (And if they come in a trickle rather than a deluge.)

But you can post whatever you think makes the world a better place!

Too bad. I had always wanted to visit... this will just cause the "boogey men" to have all of their insedious/dangerous/important secrets in encrypted clouds. Envasion of privacy without any actualizable benefits, imho.

Unless they block the internet, too...
