Yesterday... #nature

Back in the old days of vibe coding, that is, a month ago, I was embarrassed that I'd used AI to code. Now that I see much-respected man-coders (manual coders) doing it and openly talking about it, I feel much better. Frankly, vibe coding is already not a thing anymore, it's just coding. #coding

Microsoft and Meta chose no to #bitcoin as a reserve. They'll get there. I'll set the over/under at two years out, so, June 2027. I'd probably take the over right now because big means slow to move. But, the flywheel of acquisition might kick them in the rear to speed them up.

Meta and Big Tech Aren’t Joining the Bitcoin Treasury Wave

The proposal’s rejection wasn’t in itself surprising, but the ratio of defeat was: 1,221 votes “against” for every vote “for.”

Remind me in two years.

Yesterday, on the lake... #nature

This UX is like you've been waiting in line at Customer Service, you finally get to the front of the line, and the person holds up this sign: "If you see this sign, ring the bell for service." I mean, really? You send me a page that says, "If you see this page, push the button, else I won't do anything." Why not just do what the button says to do?

Took a "hike" along the road, saw "flaming azaelas" (which are actually a mountain laurel variety). Going to try for some kayaking tomorrow.

Use to be, I paid companies to use their stuff by viewing their ads. This still happens, of course. But now, companies also pay me to view their ads.

I'm starting to think two things: 1. That bitcoiners are the kind of people who intrinsically like a fight for the fun of it; and 2. These fights are probably a good thing for #bitcoin - makes it stronger.

Bitcoiners say Elon Musk should buy Bitcoin to win Trump feud

The Bitcoin community urged Musk to gain the upper hand in his feud with Trump by “full porting Bitcoin.”

Went to an #art walk thing...nice, fun, pretty. But, I think this mourning dove on the gutter was the most beautiful thing I saw.

The entertainment value is high and going higher. We've got Trump v. Elon, but we've also got Jean Pierre trying to sell books vs. Biden-people. #politics and 🍿 https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/karine-jean-pierre-book-reaction-biden-aides

This ATM says it "may charge a fee" which "is in addition to the fees that may be charged". Then it says "If you have any questions regarding the above fee..." I have many fee questions, but mainly, "Where is the bitcoin option?" #bitcoin has a fee, but I guarantee this ATM costs more to move $100 than it does to move $1B worth of bitcoin.

Trump vs Elon is so high school drama. Yesterday: "I love you babe," "LUV ya more!" First period today: "Stop bothering me," "You're the one all in my business." Third period: "I can't stand you," "I hate you!" It's OK though, because by tomorrow: "I love you," I've always loved you more!" #BFFs4lyfe

Trump vs Elon, it's on! 🍿

The signal(s) to bitcoiners. We clear? #bitcoin

Two surprises at the grocery store: 1. these fruits startled me looking like a mass of tarantulas, 2. they're part of the lychee family which I've been picking the past few days. Scary ones are rambutan, mine in bags.

Let me get this straight, this Trump Wallet site gets uncovered by a dev. Then both Don Jr and Eric deny any connections, and even Barron joins X, handle barronxspaces (for the first time?) to deny the wallet. Meanwhile Don Jr does in fact say a wallet is indeed coming, just not that website (trumpwallet dotcom), and listen to worldlibertyfi. Sounds to me like, "We're not involved ('cause we weren't ready for go-time), but yes it's totally happening."
