Oscar Merry (npub1cwm…wcs6) Why do some of the Fountain keysend boosts omit the podcast/episode/guid info? For example, the boost you sent yesterday for SXWorldwide had nothing to identify what was being boosted:
{
"action": "stream",
"app_name": "Fountain",
"message": null,
"name": "EricPP",
"sender_id": "hIWsCYxdBJzlDvu5zpT3",
"sender_name": "merryoscar@fountain.fm",

USDC runs on Ethereum and Solana and not on Lightning.

The only stablecoin that supports Lightning is Tether (USDT-L). They do this through Edge Nodes on the Lightning network that convert between USDT and BTC: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/usdt-on-lightning-the-good-the-bad-and-the-unknown

You could technically have other stablecoins use this, but what's the point? Why not just use Ethereum where they're natively supported?

The apps could start supporting Ethereum for stablecoins, but that's a huge lift to take on.

My dad watches a bunch of AI videos and didn't know they were AI until I pointed it out. The videos all have the same format of an AI voice over stock/AI photos and videos.

The voice overs are actually really good and make it hard to tell that they're AI until they mispronounce something. For example, one of the videos pronounced 'Dodge HEMI' as 'Dodge HE-MAI'.

The videos sorta mimic to the Ken Burns-style documentary format, which is probably why older people fall for them easier.

I tried to keep it pretty close to what Partytime outputs except for database ids and separate tables for chapters, transcripts, etc (since it has no item ids).

Some of the Partytime rules might need some cleaning up too. For example, it does string trims on newsfeed titles and links but not descriptions, but does do trims on item descriptions and itunes titles but not regular titles.
