    Frequent oil spills in Shabwa due to damage of supply pipeline, polluted agricultural Lands&Water wells.

    On the other side, #Yemen is under a greater threat due to #Safer oil tanker, which could cause a very severe Health & Environmental disaster.

  2. @mayel @rysiek @tcit @karen @bonfire I noticed the #CommonsPub project before I liked the idea of a general-purpose #ActivityPub server. Especially as it could serve as a base for more specific servers by having plug-in support etc. I see now that CommonsPub is being reactores into the Bonfire ecosystem. What does that mean? For the CommonsPub project in particular..

  3. #TIL there is a economic metric called "non-farm employment", seemingly mostly used in the USA.

    #Investopedia explains, however:

    > In addition to farm workers, nonfarm payrolls data also excludes some government workers, private households, proprietors, and non-profit employees.

    I wonder what's the reasoning behind this metric, Investopedia doesn't seem to know.

  7. To my followers from the US, I'd like to bring the existence of this initiative to your attention.

    It's an attempt at solving the "lesser of two evils" dilemma of the #election2020. Please give it some thought.

  9. @tuxicoman Since #SiskinIM and #BeagleIM share the same codebase (IIRC), I suspect they have the same A/V properties. And since #Conversations is compatible with Siskin, I think Beagle should/could be too. No idea about AstraChat.

    You can compile #Dino (@dino) for OSX. They don't support A/V, but it's a planned feature.

  11. @lioh #Namecoin didn't have any premine/airdrop and it's merge-mined with #Bitcoin, which means that it doesn't have to generate its own proof-of-work and that coins are evenly distributed to all miners and not awarded to the creators.
    Sadly, DNS is a hard system to disrupt or enter as a small player. It's hard, even in Linux, to support custom TLDs at the OS level. Some people have browser extensions or forwarder domains, but it's not the real thing.

  13. @Mikoto @nitox @jookia The difference is that you can't use the coins, but they don't go away. You don't have to spend them. With #Bitcoin, you have to spend them. If you spend your bitcoins to mine, you will spend the majority on electricity. In a frictionless economy, you'd just break-even.

    > You have to #own #real-life #money instead, which is already quite #centralised.

    That's a broken argument.

    > #anal

    That's very mature.

  14. @strypey I agree that the #Fediverse should be for public content. For publishing snippets for the world to see or perhaps a limited audience but never snippets that contain any sensitive information.
    #XMPP and social networks built on it, like #Movim of #SalutAToi, are better for private social networking. Even though I recently discovered #ScuttleButt, which seems even better for private socialing!

  15. @FreePietje @kekcoin The ENS can be useful. Sadly it's built on #Ethereum.. #Namecoin is #Bitcoin merge-mined. So it's supposed to be ideal. I haven't heard much of the project for many years, though.
    It would be cool if those crazy web-devs building all the Ethereum infrastructure could do some work on Namecoin. Sadly there are no ICOs throwing millions at them, though. I guess they have misaligned motivations..

  16. Is there nothing the internet can do to block this? Are there any non-profit domains left?
    I feel like this really increases the need for decentralized #DNS. How is #Namecoin doing?

  18. @strypey Oh I saw that, it confused me a ton. A USB image burning application as a Web App?? Wtf even.. And #Ubunut and other #Linux distros link to that as a recommended application for creating bootable USB drives...

  19. @Hawk1291 Yeah found it. It's in the "Getting Started" column. The downside of being on a small instance I guess: the trending doesn't make sense.

    Should be based on federated timeline data at least. Not sure if it is. Certainly no one is writing about #impeachmenthearings, though..

  20. @Hawk1291 How does the "people talking" get counted? I see 1 for #impeachmenthearings and it's you. Is it all the people that are followed by someone on my instance? Or all the people on all instances of which someone is followed by someone on my instance?
    Ok that sounded more complex than needed.. But you get the point.

    Inspired by Matt's BetterHash, #Stratum V2 aims to make #Bitcoin mining more decentralized!

  22. @sage My heuristic for judging "decentralized applications" is that if they have their own coin, I don't touch them. That includes #StorJ, #Brave Browser and d.tube apparently. Allmost all of such projects can be easily built on top of #Lightning. #OpenBazaar seems to be one of the few that understood that.

  23. @berkes Yeah I think the idea of #Namecoin is to just be a top-level dns. If you want subdomains, you should host your own DNS nameserver from your root domain. Which I think is a fine approach. Top-level domains is where arbitration is needed, below that, existing DNS infra does the job.

  24. Idea: A #Bitcoin softfork that adds #demurrage of say 0.5% per year in the form of enforcing a minimum miner fee based on the coin-age being spent.
    This would increase on-chain fees as users have an incentive to spend coins before the demurrage becomes larger than the regular block-space fee. It would affect hodlers more than layer 2 users because they generally tend to set higher fees already.

  25. Who is Patrick Byrne?

    Great short documentary on Patrick #Byrne, former #Overstock CEO goes US Federal Spy goes full #Bitcoin and #Blockchain maximalist against the #DeepState.

  26. Surprisingly interesting episode of #WhatBitcoinDid with @[email protected] about what it means to be a #L=libertarian, how a libertarian society would work and how #Bitcoin is helping is move forward slightly towards that idea.
