It is. It was meant to end with everyone infected, but SimpleStacker submitted a PR for a curing mechanism. The game will still terminate but with fewer people infected.

Desgraciadamente todos los dรญas no son de color rosa ni de flores hermosas, estoy saliendo de un virus peor que el COVID, le llaman chicunyunga aquรญ en Cuba es una plaga ya que todos nos estamos contagiando cada dรญa mรกs de 100 creo que el 90% del cubano lo tiene, da dolores en todo el cuerpo, fiebre diarrea y vรณmitos ya han muerto personas muy vulnerables y no hay medicamentos, nos estamos tratando como los indios tomando condimentos de plantas, nadie dice nada y los mรฉdicos tampoco saben como aliviarte, no puedes caminar y te orinas y ensucias arriba por que no tienes tiempo a nada ni fuerzas para pararte, despuรฉs de dรญas siguen los dolores, nรกuseas y mareos, te debilita tanto que no puedes comer y el que venga a cuidarte termina contagiado, dicen que se transmite por el jejรฉn o mosquito aedes. La razรณn es que entre las enfermedades,la falta de alimentaciรณn y asistencia mรฉdica,estamos menguando, para colmo de males un huracรกn que afectรณ en gran manera a familias en el oriente del paรญs, sin corriente, ni alimentaciรณn sana, el agua contaminada y las calles insalubres, nadie nos estรก bombardeando pero estamos siendo aniquilados es un genocidio sin mรกs. Estos han sido mis peores dรญas desde el COVID. Relinchen ๐Ÿดfuerte por los dรฉbiles.

Somewhat new here: What does "infected" and the icon on my name mean?

reply

I think it was a fun gimmicky thing for Halloween. IDK the specifics, I just logged in one day and I was infected. I presume it will disappear in a few days.

People should pay more attention to this matter. This is not a joke or FUD or stupid thing. I could say that is a more dangerous aspect than any "core vs knots" bullshit war.

I see that @justin_shocknet didn't want (yet) to make a full post on SN about this and post it only on nostr. So I make a reminder here:

nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvckud5kme6d8x2ezfaemppd74aam3w3c7hc5p83h3awmq95g5ygqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wwejhgtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsqgp32z7ezwqzw6srdzlwe0dfmktcef0p47nauznnmc4lkj8p4g739un3fx24

This is serious and should be treat it as such.

Lightning wallets can very easily introduce trust and centralization with the same exact trade-offs; fake L2s are no different than zero-conf channels, but this isn't sexy and won't raise a bunch of money or generate hype. Actually enhancing UX is tedious, hard work, to which I can attest, and inherently requires scarce creativity, otherwise the challenges would be solved already.

This is a good point and i'll go with it, but I'm not willing to say that we shouldn't investigate other trade offs. Also I'm not willing to say the only possible layer 2 is lightning. It's the best one we have going, but there was a time when it was just an idea and plenty of people didn't like it.

reply
plenty of people didn't like it.

And do you remember who are those?

  • the most important ones are the big blockers
  • moneruchos
  • those that LN fucked their "business model"
  • clueless lazy users

I tried to play Tetris 99 after a 3 years break, and got nuked in 5 seconds by some guy from Japan.

Nonetheless, what an amazing Tetris variant.

I'm so impressed. I had plans of hunting you down, but now I'm just in awe.

reply

You'll be in even more awe when I cure everyone on SN

Have you figured it out?

reply

A cure has been submitted for approval

I think the approvers have themselves all been zombified though so let's see what happens

If Bitcoin was a cult, it would be the only one in the world where its members are invited to think for themselves rather than trusting other members.

Perhaps the real Bitcoin Standard is to surround yourself with honest and kind people, and then everyone works together towards a better future.

I don't see any problem if someone makes wonderful things, then you pay in cash. However, something feels off if you pay Bitcoin for junk.

Like what's the point of paying sats for fiat food? It's not about being able to pay in sats, it's about what you're getting and Bitcoin is only acting as the exchange medium.

The finest money deserves the finest things, IMHO.

Happiness Journal 3/11/25

Upon distributing the exam papers, a student became ecstatic. You might think that 27.5 out of 70 is a dismal score, but it was a score that warranted her a pass. She told me excitedly that she had passed Science for the first time.

I was glad to have contributed to her success. It was nice to witness her experience this formidable and historic success.
