Shapeflation I'm coining a new term right here and now: shapeflation We all know inflation all too well. Since COVID especially, we've been hearing the spinoff term shrinkflation...keep the price the same, just shrink the size of the product. Well, here's a variation of shrinkflation. "Shapeflation" is essentially shrinkflation,... Bridged via Hostr at

Bridging around I've been playing around with bridges to and from various places: (1) the Nostr protocol, (2) the Hive blockchain, and (3) Mastodon. And, I guess we could also throw in (4) the Hive-Engine layer 2 sidechain of Hive. It's intrigued me that these unrelated things can be linked up in an interactive manner. Here's ho...

I just made about 4 images using ChatGPT free plan then hit image generation limit. It said I have to wait 720 hours now. I glanced over that limit notification, okay, fine. Wait, 720 hours? That's 30 days! I'm still thankful and I get it, they're paying for everything. Was just surprised.

I knew those Primal people reminded me of something. This video is from 7 years ago, the Nimiq coin devs living, working, and running around in Costa Rica. It's Groundhog Day tech-style. .hostr

The #bitcoin signal...we clear?

On the road, I turned on NPR. A homosexual podcaster who worked for Obama and Jon Stewart was talking about Richard Simmons. But, that's neither here nor there. At the commercial, the host slipped in that a bill in Congress seeks to defund public broadcasting funding for two years. Said we should all take action. A couple of things. First, I thought public radio was "commercial free." That's what its branded as every single fund raising gig when they beg for money. Secondly, the big argument now for public funding is that public radio is the supposed only means of "reliable" news for many. Okay, (a) do they honestly not see their strong bias? (b) am radio is far better to get news out; pretty sure most public radio is fm. I can listen to am stations literally thousands of miles away at times, not tens of miles. Third, the host said they might lose 9% of their annual budget. Wait, what? I wrote several months ago an article (below) where I mentioned how they are adamant that they only get 1% of their money from the government. Now it's 9%? Seems like when the issue is, "You get too much government money," the answer is "Just 1%." But, when that "1%" is going to be taken away, suddenly it's a whole 9% that will crush their ability to get their word out. In a business, if you lose 9% (or 1%) of your revenue, you work harder to make that back up.

I'm reading the word "suitcoiner" an awful lot suddenly due to the 2025 #bitcoin conference. Not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, it implies bitcoin is truly getting there, becoming respectable, moving away from niche, away from "all scams, criminals, and tulips". This is good. On the other hand, the rage against the machine cypherpunks get shoved aside by a wave of normies crowding in to get their "I'm a bitcoin now" sticker.
