"We've arranged a society on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces" - Carl Sagan

These "crypto as asset" taxation trend of govt. everywhere is making the use of crypto as daily currency a literal hell for me. How to avoid that? Or crypto folks are just ignoring the elephant in the room, not declaring anything and be gone with it? #crypto

Why not doing anything for a day or two is so frowned upon these days? Never got this craze of being productive 100% of the time, to the point of making people feel bad by taking half a hour to play a game. This behavior looks to me as a express lane for a mental illness.

Anyone that simps for return to office policies for jobs that can be perfectly done from home must be hung by the balls.

Well, actually it was my browser extension (Flamingo) that where misbehaving. Switched to nox2x and now all is normal and fine with Primal and the relays. Too bad, I'll miss the looks of Flamingo.

My nostr client is misbehaving. It's not allowing me to post or follow new people. Maybe its a relay issue by the lack of error messages from the client (Primal) is not helping at all. Going to Coracle for now.

His contributions to society will live on forever. The wireless stack is the single greatest Achilles heel of any OS to get mass adoption between residential consumers, specially open source ones that rely on volunteer work. What this guy did is nothing short of amazing and he is without a doubt one the guys that saved Linux from fading into obscurity as a desktop OS early on its history. View quoted note →

Look at the bright side: at least they don't pretend they don't see anymore! But I guess this is inevitable anyway, too many forces, good and bad, pushing forward AI development.

AI is Going to Kill "Some Creative Jobs", According to OpenAI's CTO

But that's a sacrifice they are willing to make.

Are people way too much used to be kept hostage by Meta and ByteDance that they now suffers from Stockholm syndrome? Hell, TikTok is not even a social network, it's literally a machine to spew algorithm sorted crap down user's throats.

Not really a fan of docker for single user applications, but this indeed looks cool. View quoted note →

It will be Ruby. Time to dedicate around 250 hours learning it for a good measure.

One of the greatest pains in the ass for any software engineer who want to learning a new programming language is to choose this said new programming language. I'm looking at Ruby and Racket for days trying to choose and so far a big nothing as far a decision goes. God, for a glimpse of a moment I looked even at Raku...

Are we heading to a boring dystopia? Where everybody passively accept this state of affairs and sink into techno-feudalism? We are in this slippery slope for more than 2 decades, with freedom and openness of platforms corroding at broad day light... and nothing. Once upon a time, Sony shipping CDs with DRM rootkit where scandalous, now? People fucking accept to install kernel level spyware to play games, and to walk around with always on trackers disguised as smartphones on their pockets. Cyberpunk dystopia would be a improvement, at least there would be rebellion.

Microsoft's Co-Pilot is just their latest attempt to send everything that you do on its products to their servers after Bing and Cortana failed at that task. The enshittification of PC continues.

IF YOU POUR WATER ON A ROCK, NOTHING HAPPENS!!! 🪨🪨🪨

Racket is such a lovable language. But DrRacket debugger is one of the most all over the place debugger that I ever used.

Being an enthusiast of NetBSD on a Windows/Linux world is hard... anyway, here lies my first dip on Nostr world!
