It is!

Most of mine don't have any markings. I doubt I have any of the oldest type at all anymore, and everything from the second gen onward is good enough for 1080 so I don't really care about the differences beyond that right now. USB on the other hand is quite a mess.

kind of proving the original point here ^^

For some reason DNS providers haven't iterated on the UX around configuring records much. If as much time and money were spent on making DNS easier to use without understanding all the terminology as was spent on all the blockchain tech, we'd be in a much better place right now.

in a way, email already is portable. My email address is on my domain, parecki.com, but it’s actually a Gmail account under the hood. If i want to move that to another provider, I can, and I don’t need to tell anyone a new email address. This is of course thanks to DNS 🙃

the “I’m locked out of my account” problem is not going away any time soon, and is a real hurdle in building this kind of thing in a decentralized way

with that description, I don’t see how abnormal people would use it either!

Agreed! And all the blockchain versions of a global namespace have nowhere near this level of experience in maintaining the system in the long term, and are very likely much more fragile than DNS

I wasn't saying either one is better than the other. Just that whether it's a global namespace is a property that then has all these other side effects when trying to maintain that property in a system

heh social distance

I don't think there's a clear answer yet. But I'm thinking something that matches more how people communicate identities in person. Plenty of people share the same name and it's not a problem the majority of the time during normal communication.

I think the challenge is you need to drop the idea of creating a global namespace. Otherwise you end up with DNS or blockchain solutions, both of which are centralized. You need something that doesn't rely on the entire system being aware of all other names.

I thought about it, but most of the content is the specs themselves, which are already available online in a variety of formats, so I'm not sure it would add much value. Plus formatting an ebook is a *lot* of work 😅

huge congrats! 🍾 also why do I keep thinking cannoli is a pasta?

If you tell me what URL you're entering at indielogin.com to start the flow I can probably tell you what's going on.

well said 👏

having attempted to take photos of falling money before, I appreciate the amount of effort that went into this thumbnail

Good idea! I've definitely shown some of my Streamdeck setup during my live shows a few times but I couldn't tell you which episodes now 😂 I should probably do a proper video about it!

order it to do what?

I actually just bought some like that but that are for hanging in a closet! They get here on Monday and I'm super excited to try them out
