What is life? TL;DR
Dostoevsky: It's hell. To Dostoevsky, life was a battle with the darkest parts of the human soul—a crucible of suffering where we confront our deepest fears and desires.
Socrates: It's a test. Life is the ultimate examination of virtue, wisdom, and truth. For Socrates, an unexamined life is not worth living.
Aristotle: It's the mind. Life is the pursuit of knowledge and reason—a journey to understand the world through logic, ethics, and metaphysics.
Nietzsche: It's power. Life is the will to power—a striving for self-overcoming and mastery of circumstances, rejecting complacency and embracing growth.
Freud: It's death. Freud saw life as a tension between the life instinct (Eros) and the death instinct (Thanatos)—a constant drive toward creation and destruction.
Marx: It's the idea. For Marx, life is shaped by material conditions and the ideologies that arise from them—a struggle to create a world of equality and justice.
Picasso: It's art. Life is creation—a canvas for painting our passions, emotions, and dreams, shaped by imagination and expression.
Gandhi: It's love. Gandhi believed life is rooted in nonviolence, compassion, and universal love—a journey toward peace and selfless service.
Schopenhauer: It's suffering. For Schopenhauer, life is ceaseless striving that inevitably leads to pain and dissatisfaction, tempered only by moments of beauty and art.
Bertrand Russell: It's competition. Life is shaped by human desires and ambitions—a balancing act between self-interest and collective progress.
Steve Jobs: It's faith. Life is trusting the process—taking risks and following intuition, even when the road ahead is unclear.
Einstein: It's knowledge. Einstein saw life as a quest to understand the universe's mysteries, driven by curiosity and awe.
Stephen Hawking: It's hope. Life is perseverance in the face of adversity—a belief in the future and the power of human ingenuity.
Kafka: It's just the beginning. Life is surreal and enigmatic, often absurd, yet always opening doors to transformation and possibility.
Camus: It's rebellion. Life is finding meaning in a meaningless universe, defying absurdity with courage and passion.
Thoreau: It's simplicity. Life is stripping away the unnecessary—embracing nature and living deliberately.
Rumi: It's a dance. Life is a spiritual journey—a rhythm of love and divine connection woven into every moment.
Kierkegaard: It's a leap of faith. Life requires embracing uncertainty and taking bold steps grounded in belief and authenticity.
Epicurus: It's pleasure. Life is about maximizing simple, lasting pleasures while minimizing unnecessary pain.
Laozi: It's harmony. Life flows like water—effortless and aligned with the natural order of the universe.
Confucius: It's virtue. Life is fulfilling roles with integrity, respect, and commitment to community and family.
Carl Jung: It's individuation. Life is integrating the conscious and unconscious—becoming whole and authentic.
Alan Watts: It's a game. Life is to be experienced and played with wonder—not taken too seriously.
Victor Frankl: It's meaning. Life is finding purpose, even in the most difficult circumstances, through love and service.
Simone de Beauvoir: It's freedom. Life is the power to define yourself and reject roles imposed by society.
Heraclitus: It's change. Life is constant flux—a river we step into once before it flows anew.
Hegel: It's progress. Life is a dialectical process, advancing through contradiction and resolution toward greater understanding.
Hobbes: It's survival. Life in its natural state is "nasty, brutish, and short," requiring systems to maintain order.
Rousseau: It's freedom in nature. Life is most authentic when we return to our natural state, free from societal corruption.

Today we had an interesting talk with a customer that bought multiple signers and multiple backup plates. The question was regarding data. We have explained this more often, but maybe we need to recap this:
- we delete all order data that is linked to you, this means name, address, e-mailadres, phone, ip address
- we save the order number with what was ordered so we can find the specific order back if there is something about it, as we don’t hold additional data we can’t every reach out to you. No newsletters, no bullshit, no reaching out for whatever, ever after you received your order
- if you chose regular shipping we manually put the order in the shippers website, this because it’s then not linked to an account with the shipper. For multiple years we’ve asked shippers about their security, and basically everyone has access to shipping data accounts. Also shipping accounts are not possible to 2FA. So we simply input every order manually. Next to that every unencrypted API to your website is a risk too.
- if you chose private shipping we put stamps on it, write the address on the package by hand and throw it in our local postbox, fully anonimous but it has no tracking. And you have to trust it doesn’t get lost on the way…
It’s still unbelievable how many people order with fiat. All your data is shared including order details with the payment provider. We still warn people that checkout with us and we put a premium for the additional cost, but people in general still find it too much work to use Lightning in ~50% of the orders. How can we improve this?

LOLOLOL, Can no one read? What part of "Libertarians don't want to be left alone" don't you understand? Communities and social clubs are a big part of securing liberty for oneself, family, and friends. Again you all sound like the type to say to a non intervebtionist that they are isolationists because you can't fathom humans interacting without killing each other. Sad people.
