I create Fediverse software that empowers people online. I'm vegan btw. Note: If you have a question for me, please tag me publicly. This gives the opportunity for others to chime in, and bystanders to learn.

Did you know the entire internet works by hardcoding 13 IP addresses for the official root DNS servers sanctioned by the ICANN?

People who jerk it to anime drawings all day love to hate furries so they can distance themselves from something crazier to legitimize their own weird behavior.

After learning to code, I heard that Object Oriented code was bad. Convinced by the arguments, I moved into functional programming. It blew my mind. It changed the way I write code. But I was still implementing a lot of interfaces. Now more than ever. Because ideally, you can build your software like Lego blocks where pieces of it can be easily switched in and out. Anyway, I moved back to writing TypeScript again, now with new ideas. Hyper minimalism. TSDocs on every function. Fully tested. At first I avoided using classes. But then I realized they're the best way to implement interfaces. Now everything is about interfaces. What's right is the *separation of concerns*. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

God I hate that people act like Apple just invented VR. The same people freaking out in excitement were acting like they were too good to use a gaming headset 6 years ago. I hate the strangehold Apple has on society and the sheeple who mindlessly consoom it. image

Something exciting today. It's now possible to zap on the Fediverse! ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ You can zap users on Nostr! You can zap users on Mastodon/Pleroma/ActivityPub! Let the sats flow!!! Check it out and get set up to send and receive MONEY across the Fediverse for your shitposts. This works thanks to the Mostr Bridge + Zapple Pay, an amazing result of Apple banning zaps on Damus. Who would have thought? Enjoy!

What is the easiest way to get a custodial Lightning address considering Alby is invite-only and Wallet of Satoshi is out of the app stores?
