Come on Adam, leave your hatred of liberals, and politics in general, to other shows. This is a podcast boardroom, not a political podcast.

Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you guys do behind the scenes for the us Podcasters out here! Also +1 to the idea of putting an on-chain Address in the funding tag. I’ve definitely heard from a few listeners that would support via onchain, because that’s where they already have their stats.

I will give Fountain some grace….. just been frustrated at the NOSTR switch up. Fountain was finally way less buggy for past year… but I understand there trying best and working hard. Just really loved the app before this. All love

So now we can’t Boost comments? Man I wish I never updated to latest app version :( I really had fun on Fountain and it seems like it was finally working well after early years being buggy but now I can’t boost comments? Sucks. NOSTR Sucks

BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! Oh btw I deleted my X account after getting dragged into the politics and nonsense talk regularly. Realized I still wanted to connect with my NA Fam and such so if u see a new Gene Everett account it’s me 👍 (@GeneEverett333) Even me with my NA trained brain, I started arguing and falling for the silly stuff and needed a break. Doctor prescribed me some Curry & Keeper with a side of NA! Appreciate ya’ll very much! Cheers!

All respect to Dave, he’s wrong. I notice right away when a podcast isn’t up. It’s not a tiny group at all paying attention.. and even Rogan, if it’s up one place and not another Jo’s hears about it from thousands. Adam is spot on

I am really interested in bcachefs, but I think it’s perfectly acceptable for the maintainers to kick it if the maintainer is a jerk. I’ve worked with really smart jerks and it just isn’t worth it. To be fair, I also don’t agree with how Linus treats people, but no one has the power to change Linus, they do have the power to not perpetuate it though. I hope they work it out.

MadTV was superior to SNL, lower my expectations is a nice nostalgia hit, just wish it didn't signify low boost amounts.

Bret, if you plan on doing any traveling with the van, and why have it if you're not, then I'd suggest a GMRS radio. Most truckers have switched from CB to GMRS and while you need a license to transmit, you can listen without a license. Also you have to build in a meshtastic node because.... reasons.

The person href is not suitable as an identifier because sometimes the link goes to a page like the staff page of a church instead of a page for the single person. This means all staff members get the same url.

Anyone here that’s new. I will be honest I’ve disagreed with Moe a quite a few things. But I sure appreciate the time and work. Personally my favorite trilogy is episode 44-45-46 go back and listen if your new here and caught on post episode 50. Starting at episode 1 makes most sense but if ur a casual listener I’m telling u 44-46 is a trilogy that should be put on CD and mailed to e dynamical citizens. Good Job Moe! You too Adam!

The non-gameplay bits were good and will be helpful when I'm chatting with others or thinking about what I can setup for my kiddo.

I've heard some rumblings about the R36S and Max in the Love2D community. It would be very cool to see the R36 gain a little traction as a target platform for amateur game developers.

Thanks for all your work, guys. I don't always agree with you but appreciate you regardless. I'm trying to add to the free, private, decentralized apps space based on p2p protocols and design using the Pear stack. So far I have a family/group calendar, family/location sharing and screen time apps. Please check out what I've got so far at https://peerloomllc.com or check out @npub16u9hy2m8w… on NOSTR.

    "Microstrategy but with ETH" sounds like a hilariously bad idea. Like something you would suggest as a joke.

    I recently got a call from my aunt asking me to explain bitcoin to her, I asked why, and she responded with “I just bought $500 of XRP”. I asked her where she had gotten the influence from and she responded with “TikTok”. Since I have only been into bitcoin for the better part of a year, I tried to explain the difference between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by sending her videos and other resources. I advised her to sell the XRP and educate herself on bitcoin before she makes any financial decisions based on emotion and outside influence. The alt coin influence is strong. Stay humble, educate your family members, and stack sats.

    I love your show Chris, in fact as a simple pleb marooned in Western Europe, I rely on your take for some sanity (you and a handful of others) in the craziness. Some advice on the best cold storage options in your opinion for 25/26 would be very very useful.

    While I do believe that the establishment Democrats are anti-bitcoin, I don't think the El Salvador investigation is just about the use of Bitcoin. While I'm sure the use of Bitcoin is a factor it may just be a convenient way to mask their true intention of driving a wedge between El Salvador and the current administration over the migrant detention center. Then again this is the Dems we're talking about so they may just have their "Bitcoin bad" blinders on and are just taking any opportunity to attack Bitcoin.
