He mentioned someone squatted it so I looked up the owner, pinged them, and sent a link to this thread. They said they want to get it to him for free and may reach out on their own. Sounds like he's likely not interested but worth a shot.

If you do ever want patio11.eth, the team at [email protected] will give it to you for free.

Hello fellow ENS fan :)

Glad OpenSea puts up warnings about any emojis or Zero Width Joinders etc.

I've been a sponsor of this project on Github for $5/month. That said, I'm more of a consumer rather than a developer. I know my trackpad on Linux seems to sux, and I can't see how anything gets better for consumers on Linux without us paying for work like this. I'm curious for feedback -- is this team making good progress, did you install the code, etc?

Should I double my sponsorship of this project?

Yes incredible what they're getting done with a shoestring budget.

From the announcement "The number of people keeping this project going is tiny (currently just 121 supporters), but this small group of passionate Linux users are creating meaningful forward progress to improve the touchpad ecosystem for hundreds of thousands of Linux touchpad users. For those who don't want to rely on a future beholden to Apple, we hope that you'll consider supporting us? We could be getting more done if we had 250 supporters. "

I sponsor this project for $5/month. Started a few months ago. I'm happy to support! For Linux desktop to succeed with consumers like me, it has to move beyond being for mechanics only, which means we have to do our part and pay money for it.

ENS is solving for this by creating a common identity across crypto wallets: https://ens.domains/

That way he can be patio11 across all platforms if he wishes (and doesnt need to worry about getting "patio11" on every new platform that's created). Or, he can just create a subwallet with a different identity but still rolls up into his main wallet.

It also protects against somoene putting their twitter in their profile and pretending to be patio11. i.e.:

Hey HN I'm patio11, here's proof, I linked my twitter: https://twitter.com/patio11

Mailoji looks neat! Do you have a link to the gift box feature?

You and the author might also check out the new ENS (Ethereum Name Service), it support emojis for use as crypto identity/wallets. "Triple pures" (three base-level emoji) are popular as a wallet address.

It's a video that shows the characters talking about the future of 3D reality and then a bunch of guns shooting out the tires of agents chasing them in cars.

There are four options for Facebook to add payments:

1. Their own Paypal-like system

2. Partner with a Paypal

3. Their own cryptocurrency (ie Libra)

4. Partner with a cryptocurrency

Do I have that right? And for some reason #4 allows them to be global and not face antitrust concerns in the USA.

I would be interested in seeing other articles on this topic.

As someone new to DeFi, I found the article sparked new questions, even though as you said it wasn't deeply researched.

If Celcius is basically reinvesting into a bunch of other assets, it's possible, or even likely, that the high yield assets are too good to be true. That's where my concern would be. Is BadgerDAO rock solid? Compound? I would be curious to see expert analysis of these. Celcius is simply built on top.
