Sad indeed, take a look at BisonRelay, it is built on top of Lightning Network, no surveillance possible, no accounts, true privacy.

Some articles explaining a bit how and why:

An autobattler team vs team where you need to programe your team to cooperate for win.
I do find myself crying alone when get deep into a song I like, it is not sadness, not happy Ness , but overload of powerfull emotion I can describe, could happen with techno, rap, or other music style. I didn't feel this article was referring to the same thing.
Re:Dwarf Fortress Steam Updates – Release Roadmap on Wednesday February 23, 2022 @11:32PM (#30450297)
They could even launch it on steam without a playing version people will buy it straight away... Tarn dedication is doubtless.
Well they are selling in malicious way, for example they never put a lot of coins to sell at same time, so if someone wants to buy a lot, it show no liquidity, But you can buy pretty much as much as you want without changing the price, bots keep adding, Another way is they keep adding more when price breakout.

For me it is clear some group of people got an advantage (hardware and electricity price) and do that with a couple of alts projects in order to get more btc.

Decred witch is a dao focused on evolving with governance had an interesting block reward split, 60% miners, 30% pos (you get chosen randomly) and 10% tresuary.

Seems miners have been driving the price down for years and a new proposal just was written to give them only 10%, and 80 to stakeholders.

Re:I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old on Thursday November 11, 2021 @09:03AM (#29187902)
I recently find out a windows folder can't end by a space.. But python for example you can create this folder 'example ' every file you create in this folder will be inaccessible, and impossible to delete.
is the screenshot working flow better in obsidian now? I like how you can just bind a key to area screenshot in Evernote, then edit the note.
hey did you know about lightning network? for few month now growing and it is specifically for this, using btc for small transactions.

Make sure you have black text on white background, it turns me crazy after upgrading from 3.0 to 5.0,
Re:Tesseract OCR on Sunday July 18, 2021 @08:54PM (#27878148)
Wish there was an up to date, complete guide for training fonts. I use it for digits and single digits, and it is not 100% accurate even if the image is best quality and I preprocess it well,
the only things I didn't like of obsidian was working with images was a nightmare, in Evernote you have a shortcut to take an area screenshot, it stores automatically in a folder, then you can write stuff below it, and move it to another folder, really good work flow I miss in obsidian.
