- Folks on the scene think it was a community member who was shot; definitely was not an agent
- Agents pulled guns on a doctor who attempted to administer first aid
- Conflicting reports on how many people hit and their condition
- There is video

My road bike has a BB30 (press-fit) bottom bracket. Yesterday I noticed it was creaking, so I pulled out my $50 BB30 removal tool, refreshed my memory on how to remove a bottom bracket with a bit of YouTube, pulled the thing apart, cleaned and greased everything, put it back together, and now it doesn’t creak. So satisfying. #BikeTooter

Once I pulled my head out of my ass this wasn't horrible. Part 1 was straightforward, decided to do some set stuff and managed to get it right the first time. Part 2 made my brain hurt a bit because all of the ideas that came to me were very, very slow and memory intensive. Then decided to scrap it and just do what the directions told me to do: count the paths...so I replaced the dumb with a dictionary which was so much better as an idea.

I love the concept, of being pulled into a comic and having to battle through the panels. Having the world shaped by your own hand, and then having enemies drawn in by your enemy is a work of genius. Choosing paths, having to jump across or down past the borders of the picture, is a really engaging mechanic. It looks stunning too, with large sprites which have been drawn full of character and incredibly colourful.

The conference is over now. I likely wouldn't have come for just a bitcoin thing, but I am very interested in redecentralizing the web, so it's attachment to the nostr day pulled me in.
Everyone I met was friendly and interesting and seems much more interested in making a better money system than in making money for themselves.
Our government and bank money systems are dysfunctional in all kinds of ways which are often less visible than they should be too people using them, especially to those in Europe and America who benefit from the way those systems exploit the global south.
I'm not convinced that fixing that would end wars and fix broken government as some seem to think, but I am sure our money is the source of many problems.
There are many bright, well meaning, and intelligent people building to improve bitcoin in fascinating ways with the hope of having a parallel system to transition to. With lots of work still to be done.
Can it work?
I'm sure I don't know, and I'm sure even if it's a better system it'll come with it's own unfairness and cruelty. Money will continue to be a source of suck and worry.
I'm told that the bigger conferences are often full of shitcoin scammers and suit wearing banksters who are in fact all in it too get rich and rip people off, but I found none of that here.
Here there is a real community of people trying to make the world a better place and improve the lives of their neighbours and governance of their countries.
And in the end building community is the most radical and effective way to change the world regardless of the problems of it's money system.
I had a great time. Thanks to those organising it.
