I added a bit of metadata to my website to enable Bitcoin Lightning “tips”. One line to indicate my Lightning address.

In Chrome, with the Alby Extension you can easily send Satoshis.

This made me LOL. 🤣
I got a Sonos Move to add to my system and have a portable speaker that still has high audio quality. Happy with initial results! Sound quality is great. Heavy but I like that it is very stable. Might be nice to have a second.
Wish List: Micro.blog plugin to create the static file needed for self-hosted NIP-05 verification. I think this would be really easy to make? And would be a nice compliment to recently added Nostr cross-posting support. 🤞
Kakhovka dam
Ukrainian officials estimated that about 42,000 people are at risk from the flooding triggered by explosions at the Kakhovka dam in a Russian-controlled area of southern Ukraine. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting, during which Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for the blasts. America, Britain and France called for an investigation. Martin Griffiths, the UN’s aid chief, warned that the “sheer magnitude of the catastrophe” will be only realised in the coming days. — Economist Espresso, June 7, 2023
Horrible destruction that will take a decade to rectify.
Efforts to rescue those endangered by the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, located in a Russian-controlled area of south-east Ukraine, continued. Ukrainian officials reported that 29 towns and villages had been flooded, leaving people stranded on their rooftops and without drinking water. Authorities say at least 40,000 people must be evacuated. Russia and Ukraine each blame the other for the blast. Though it is too early to assess the long-term damage, officials are concerned about homelessness, crop failure, energy shortages and displaced landmines. At least three people have died, according to local media. — Economist Espresso, June 8, 2023

Apple Vision Pro Reactions
We all watched the Apple Vision Pro segment of WWDC tonight. I wanted to watch it again, and I was curious to see what the rest of the family would think.
Tammy: “Looks cool but scared of where it takes us.”
Mazie: “Exciting, extremely cool, but destructive to humankind.”
Tyler: “Wow. I want to try it.”
Jamie: “When can I get one?”
Foveated Renderer. Oh yeah, always wanted one of those. 🤣 Apple Vision Pro announcement at WWDC 2023.
Apple Vision Pro is a real thing! Can Apple do for headsets what they did for Phones and Watches? Maybe.
Partnering with Disney to bring their incredible catalog of stories to Vision Pro is super smart. Both companies benefit.
The hardware package behind the Vision Pro is wild.
🤔
Love the street chalk at Edina Art Fair!
