*sigh*It looks like the maintainer of the base64 #Rust crate broke all code using the rust-bitcoin #Bitcoin Core RPC client to run on #Debian.Trivial crates like base64 have a single job: don't change.#DependencyHell

@feldThe base64 crate "requires Rust v1.31 or higher". WTF. How can one not have base64 code that works on all #Rust versions...

RT @alex_kaul@twitter.comHi @Namecheap@twitter.com! Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to transfer my domains to another registrar as soon as my balance will be close to zero, if you don't change Bitcoin payment processor. No more top-ups via BitPay! #DeBitpay

@PINE64 the "99 dollar laptop" turned out to be quite a bit more expensive than that...39 USD shipping and 82.75 EUR import taxThat makes a 207.93 EUR or a 230.88 USD laptop.

@PINE64 I can't find documentation on how to boot from USB or SD card on the #Pinebook. I installed a Debian arm64 image in a microSD card, but it doesn't boot. It also doesn't print any instructions on how to open bios or boot selection menu.

@PINE64Thanks for the fast response :)It's not working for me, though. The standard Debian arm64 image written with dd should work, right?I can't seem to interrupt tie boot with space. Should there come a prompt or something?I'm talking about the 99 USD Pinebook, not the Pinebook pro.

I've been wanting to make more posts like this that just give some updates of stuff I'm working on. Any idea if there is a common hashtags known for that? #CodeUpdate isn't used anywhere I think. Does anyone know a hashtag for development updates? @orionwl @jon @stachrom

@schestowitz I thought most protesters wanted to stay anonymous... If you're all gonna mass-withdraw cash, aren't you just handing over a full list of the protesters to the government?#HongKong

@brandon Glad you asked :)In the current debt-based financial system, money makes money. The rich and the big companies can take loans at ridiculously low rates to increase their profits even further. Their rates are often significantly lower than the rates smaller players get. This debt system is powered by money printing schemes like QE.In a #Bitcoin-based economy where fractional reserve banking is not possible and QE even less, it will be a lot harder for rich people to become richer.

@brandonBitcoin is relevant here because the Bitcoin project exists to disturb the existing financial system that started after the first World War when governments gave up the gold standard to be able to print money to finance the wars.With Bitcoin we can go back to before that time, to a system with hard money that encourages working and saving instead of rent-seeking and borrowing.The quote explicitly states that Bezos is a product of the current financial system.

I believe if #Twitter was a content-neutral service, these attacks would have little effect. But these coordinated attacks play the game of suggested content, trending topics, people you may know etc.Here on #Mastodon there is no AI. And I think it's a lot harder to game that way. You need actual followers to get heard. You can't game your content onto others' feed, you need to earn that place.#HongKong @waxwing

@darius@mastohost any chance MastoHost can add support for #Hometown? I'd be interested in using it.

This is so important. * As societies polarise, free speech is under threat. It needs defenders> 37% of American college students told Gallup that it was fine to shout down speakers of whom they disapprove> 10% [of American college students] think it acceptable to use violence to silence speech they deem offensive. https://www.economist.com/node/21769677?frsc=dg%7Ce#TheEconomist #FreeSpeech

#Ethereum developers realize their network is no longer decentralized.> As there are way too few nodes an SPV-enabled app is not able to synchronize with and validate the state of the blockchain within the acceptable time duration. It's a SERIOUS problem for mobile devs who are trying (will try) to build truly decentralised apps because a mobile app has an average session of just a few minutes. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/bw8dr8/read_dear_ethereum_community_we_have_a_problem/
