billymg[asciilifeform]: signpost: i passed along the feedback verbatim, thanks for taking a look
billymg[busybot]: i agree the whole thing seemed surprisingly sane, and personally liked the "hand's off" stance wrt taxation (seeing as how i'm already liable for this to usg, it's good to know i won't be double-taxed)
billymg[busybot]: hands* off
billymg[busybot]: except there is some ambiguity around the word 'habitual' here: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=AW6o (e.g. someone living off their coin might meet this definition of 'habitual' -- if the intent was to target Traders™ then it should specify that more clearly)
billymg[busybot]: normies starting to get it: https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1591813959438553091
billymg[busybot]: it's also been interesting (but not surprising) to see the sheer volume of bots/shills desperately trying to get everyone to draw the wrong conclusions from the FTX collapse
billymg[busybot]: i've seen everything from "the FTX collapse illustrates why you should store your coins on 'safe' exchanges that don't offer yield" to "the FTX collapse illustrates why all centralized exchanges will ultimately fail, which is why we should migrate to ethereum and use decentralized exchanges!"
billymg[asciilifeform] would love to see the plebs on twitter start applying pressure to Saylor to get him to withdraw his coins from whatever custodian (i believe coinbase) holds them now
billymg[asciilifeform]: doubt that's possible though, would violate some usg contract he's bound to most likely
asciilifeform: apropos anthropological lulz re that n-th gox
asciilifeform: and see also.
dulapbot: (asciilifeform) 2022-06-14 asciilifeform: 'errybody' luvvs a pyramid (until day x)
asciilifeform: somehow the players 'surprised' errytime. even tho erry pyramid ends precisely same way.

phf[asciilifeform]: ooh a new scottlocklin
phf[busybot]: although i kind of prefer when he writes about virile men engineers, scientific iconoclasts and the importance of slide rules, rather than the modern literally whos
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, asciilifeform hit a rather stiff wall with fltk (and then tried classic tk, where apparently on asciilifeform's box same issue) -- not worx with x11 dpi settings, microscopic font (and if cranked up, overflows widgets)
asciilifeform paying for the sin of using only 4k lcds
phf[asciilifeform]: ah, that's an extra complexity i haven't tried tackling yet at all. on mac os x11 just does 2x zoom that you can't turn off. annoying, but work™
asciilifeform: ah hm haven't tried on crapple yet
phf[busybot]: all my real unix machines just use old lcds
asciilifeform also wants thing to work on crapple, cuz that's the closest thing asciilifeform presently has to a working portable
asciilifeform wouldn't want to run a main-caliber pestron on crapple, but if we get pestron w/ 'slave mode', oughta work
asciilifeform would bite bullet and bake 'native' gui per os, but ugh linux's gtk (afaik aint statically linkable at all)
phf[asciilifeform]: MOTIF
asciilifeform: hm does it dpi?
phf[busybot]: oh except it doesn't render well with high dpi
phf[busybot]: no
asciilifeform: fixing fltk may be 'easiest' way to make this go
asciilifeform: (prolly beats the shit outta trying to bake from 0)
asciilifeform: that, or pinching nose and linking ada 'libpest' into a qt horror
asciilifeform open to suggestions from folx tuned in
asciilifeform must bbl
