My kingdom for a good FOSS maps and simple, but featured notes app. There’s a ton of little stuff that Apple really gets right.

…but you don’t? I didn’t. Got an eSIM to work on a raw unlocked phone flashed with a fresh install. I think it depends on the carrier more than graphene.

I guess I’m in the minority. I’ve found it very easy to install (though the boot loader stuff is always a bit of fumbling on each android device).

The only thing I wish was smoother and clearer is how to install google play services from certain perspectives. IE, if you want another profile to keep things separate, and need something like a bank app running, here’s what you do…

Otherwise, FOSS all the way. Easy to use. There’s perhaps too many options and it’s easy to lose a bunch of time discovering which app stack you need to replace your old. Especially if coming from iOS.

💯

And not a recent lesson, nor is it unknown, but: you can’t help people that won’t help themselves.

Congrats and well done. Keep putting out good content. Keep skewing further and further towards normies - they need the basics. Cheers!

I cofounded a company a long while ago whose initial aim was to embody most of the items listed in the third paragraph.

For a moment, it was wonderful.

It didn’t take long for fiat pressures to start to kick in, and then those who brought more capital gaining the upper hand through typical machinations.

I’m not sure the above works in competitive for-profit orgs.

Maybe for non-profits or small orgs.

It’s tiny sick syndrome. Literally nothing to see here. We should all just move on and be happy.

So you think selling 32 btc is enough to move markets? Or that the narrative was enough to move markets?

Thus far, it’s a typical bear market (timing wise) and a pretty mild one (price wise). I don’t think the reasons even matter.

Yep! It’s all unsustainable. But the genie is out of the lamp, now. People won’t go back. So this will drive innovation on smaller models that can dynamically load in more or less experts, allowing frontier-quality results on consumer grade hardware. At the same time, unified memory architecture will become more prevalent (like Apple’s machines and AMD’s Halo Strix line).

All of this unsustainable bullshit will just create great incentive for decentralization.

When AI is open and decentralized… well…it’s like handing encryption to the masses. There will be mass empowerment. Most won’t see it or know it, but it will be there.

The 200w MA is the only real outlier. Everything else is pretty much a typical bear. We could have another 3-4 months of this.

I suspect we could go sideways, riding the 200w for 2-3 months, have a quick capitulation way below it followed by a near-instant recovery sometime in September. Something like that would be pretty typical bitcoin behavior and not really outlandish.

Having the bottom be now would be rather exceptional, timing-wise and drawdown-wise. So, for the time being, I’m thinking the former is more likely.
