Bitcoin's primary innovation is decentralized digital scarcity through cryptographic proofs, NGU is merely a welcome side effect of maintaining that core function successfully.

Having read over many of the related PRs (linked at end of this post), my conclusion is that any attempt to comply with Brazil's Lei 15.211/2025, California's AB-1043, or Colorado's SB26-051 is incredibly misguided and risks running afoul of already existing laws while being impossible to fully comply with (due to poor quality on ex. AB-1043). Many of these attempts will even be in violation of other state's laws that exist to protect children by collecting/revealing information from/about minors. dylanmtaylor's PR on archinstall: github.com/archlinux/arch… Collecting age during OS install means that this script would then need to (per-jurisdiction) terminate early as many locales forbid enforcement of licenses (like those that are implicitly/explicitly accepted during system installation) by minors. Potentially in violation of privacy/child-safety laws as well if the attempt to create the account is not rejected (in some locales). Excellent example of why trying to comply with every specific country/states laws is impossible as they often conflict with themselves (AB-1043 requires revealing information that if polled daily reveals information if prohibits revealing) or the laws of other jurisdictions. davidedmundson's PR on xdg-desktop-portal: github.com/flatpak/xdg-de… This is adequately responded to by two comment from HaplessIdiot (#issuecomment-4031959582" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/flatpak/xdg-de… and #issuecomment-4032212251" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/flatpak/xdg-de…) dylanmtaylor's PR on accountservice: gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservic… Adequately responded to by Jeremy Soller who references his previous comments at lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2… (excellent read as it is one of the more nuanced takes that doesn't take as hardline of a stance as I do), he also raises concerns that this implementation may inadvertently violate the laws it would attempt to comply with due to the ability to read user age data from d-bus. dylanmtaylor's PR on systemd: github.com/systemd/system… Suffers from the same issue as the pr for accountservice, but in addition is responsible for the actual storage of indirectly identifying PII that, again, may not be legal to store for underage users in some jurisdictions. In short, the attempt at compliance is misguided unless/until the laws are adjudicated to remove conflicting requirements. If you've made it this far, you can have my actual spicy take on this topic. Your devices are your own and it is the responsibility of parents, not the state, to protect their children; furthermore, it is the moral duty of the people to engage in civil disobedience when government has demonstrated incompetence, malfeasance, and a willingness to violate the restrictions placed upon them.

@giacomozucco There are always trade offs. They may lean heavily in favor of *new thing*, but that phrase is dangerous as it misleads users.

"no trade-offs"=🚩

@BitcoinBugsy @SteveCubes @jbombo__ @chiefn I 105% would report Steve for betraying me, if you didn't beat him to it so consistently!

@SteveCubes @Psifour @jbombo__ @chiefn LOL! Defintely @Psifour 😉

This is crazy. I only play Arc Raiders with 4 people and 1 of these mfs reported me smdh. I don't want to name no names but @BitcoinBugsy, @Psifour, @jbombo__, & @chiefn who the rat?

@xvohss Players witness you commit aggressive actions that detract from the lobbies ability to loot/quest. They turn on you and give you the content that you are looking for (PvP). Honestly, it looks like a great interaction and exactly why solos are the best mode currently.

playing solos in arc raiders is awful

I'm just gonna bury this opinion all the way at the end of the comment chain here.. BIP110 will not meaningfully succeed as even widespread adoption (which it doesn't have) would lead to a revitalization of digital assets on Bitcoin. Degens love nothing more than to be told about restrictions and challenges. Building incentive structures to restrict a behavior only works if you understand possible external motivations.

@stephanlivera In fact, in some ways, I think having a smaller limit on the size of inscriptions actually be more interesting.

For BIP110 people angry about Taproot expanding the spammer's opportunity, it's worth remembering it is only a 12% discount vs 'segwit spamming'. 12% is not the difference between inscriptions being viable and not. Inscriptions seem more of a social phenomenon.

I’ve never put arbitrary data on chain but I do not support BIP110. Knotzis say I don’t exist

@EZebroni @spooner_fed @Mmck09 @turo Congrats! Has Turo reimbursed you for the above damages? I assume you still plan to keep the car in-fleet? Any chance we see a post about changes/improvements you have planned to make this process better for yourself next time (air tags, etc)?

@Psifour @spooner_fed @Mmck09 @turo I just got the vehicle back

UPDATE: The tow truck driver said he was leaving at 5PM last night. The vehicle is only about 7 hours away. Based on a little math, that should put the Tesla back at our home location around midnight. It’s now 11AM the next morning. No Tesla. I texted the driver. No response. I called the driver. No answer.

@brian_trollz I think he could be on to something here. What if there really is a shadow cabal who is running every account he disagrees with in an attempt to keep him down and suppress the truth!?! That statement definitely doesn't sound like something a schizo would trip over.

This is a great example of delusional paranoia.

Words are cheap. At this point you have a meaningful claim against @turo with financial damages you can directly calculate (day rate on the vehicle, cost to get it moved back yourself, court costs, potential breach of contract, and that is before you get into this being potentially criminal depending on jurisdiction). I would get the ball rolling on this with a lawyer, as the total time involved is getting to the point where it can become VERY messy to recover the vehicle.

@spooner_fed @Mmck09 Yeah, they have told me the third party vendor is an issue and their working to fix it

@toughtalkty Wait, so she put aside her politics and represented the country on the national stage with grace and poise? That sounds like a behavior we should encourage all Americans to aspire to.

@stephanlivera They can't resist running the playbook and Luke is a clown who uses blocks to manipulate who can see/respond to him in attempts to not get absolutely btfo when people call him out on his BS. If he actually wanted people blocked he wouldn't use an alt to read their posts 🤡

Luke responds from behind a block. This is a ridiculous accusation. I'm obviously not in favour of either.

BIP110 is a hostile fork. Proponents did not build consensus for the idea. They are instead smearing and attacking anyone who disagrees. They are attempting to hijack the network.

@GhostofMapl Luke Cashjr, the only thing that could ever force the two of us to agree on something.

No way I'd ever hold Bitcoin Luke's Vision ( $BLV ).

@jamesob I don't think I'm at the 'most home uses' level anymore. I am working with a less than 24u and I constantly want to upgrade to a full rack. I think a 12u could be a good addition to most home setups, but sadly the knowledge needed to get that value is beyond the average user.

For most home uses, racks are a big waste of money and space. You wind up paying a premium for both the rack and computer form factor.

@w_s_bitcoin @FiscalDominanc @peterktodd "We will just continue to make changes that remove features at an ever increasing pace and I'm sure that will never go wrong for the very reason that braindead simple soft forks have taken 2-3 years."

@FiscalDominanc @peterktodd Imagine thinking repeated soft fork coordination to play this cat and mouse game is sustainable in a decentralized network like Bitcoin.

It’s all @peterktodd’s fault for demonstrating how trivial it was to bypass relay filters. Core just adapted to the new reality.

@ndeet They are oblivious that the only solution is a forced march towards hamstringing bitcoin. "If removing these features doesn't disable it we will try to lobotomize bitcoin until it can't store data." Tilting at windmills while acknowledging that it won't/can't solve the problem

Sorry, but this is getting regarded.

v30 doesn't decrease the cost of data inclusion whoever told you it does, lied to you. Adding data under 110 is trivial and affordable still. It sacrifices features of Bitcoin to NOT stop, reduce, or even disincentivize spam. Whoever told you it does, lied to you. Stop being gullible.

@w_s_bitcoin What you say is true, this is also true. A) v30 makes spamming cheap and easy. B) 110 makes spamming harder and costly. Those who want Bitcoin to be "money" ie: Satoshi's original intent, are in favor of option B. Sorry this troubles you, the momentum already favors UASF. Cope.

What actually happened is that the network topology changed because a handful of plebs started fucking around with preferential peering. Relay behavior stopped being something either Core or Knots could meaningfully control with filters anymore. Core understood that reality and adapted. Knots dug in and refused to admit the environment had changed. Then the most rabid Knots supporters (Luke, Mechanic, Kratter, etc.) went and poked the bear without understanding how Bitcoin had changed or why Core reacted the way it did.

@BigSeanHarris Asked and answered multiple times (in the PR, subsequent issue, mailing list, IRC, etc.) and the harm of not doing so was demonstrated on mainnet by frequent disruptions to CBR due to transactions being mined that weren't being retained in miner mempools due to standardness rules

The one question that Core and Core apologists will never answer: If they could already put arbitrary data on chain then why increase op return?

@DocStrangelove2 I agree, anyone who needs to dispose of a bullpup rifle should just arrange to have it shipped to my ffl so that I can make sure it is properly disposed of. >.>

Good Morning Everyone

@JaredDHardin Professionally, always. If it leads to anything the first job is usually a pain in the butt due to needing to fix what the 'cheaper guy' did, but it is an opportunity to make a committed client.

How should I respond to this?

@inversecos @vxunderground Friday is Friday. Thursday is almost Friday. Wednesday is halfway through the workweek, almost Friday. Tuesday is halfway through the 7-day week between Fridays and only a day before Wednesday, almost Friday. I can't really make a case for Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

@vxunderground its nowhere close to friday :c wdym
