What’s the best API resource for movies data? Tmdb or omdb or will it have to be beautifulsoup scraping?

I like nostr / damus. But it does feel a bit off - can’t put my finger on what it is exactly. Maybe the content is too dorky and I need to follow a more diverse bunch. Maybe it’s too much expectation (no I don’t mean that I get zapped or receive replies, I’m just talking about consuming content, not even posting) Most likely it’s the conditioning of the mind done by twitter(I’m not on any other social media) - there is no rage farming here. Maybe I need to articulate it better on wtf I want to say!

Some books, very few, are better as audiobooks. The song of Achilles is definitely one of those. Although, I haven’t read it, so can’t really compare.

From being super impressed by zuck ~ 2010, to being super pissed ~’17/‘19, to laughing at him around ‘21-‘22 to finally being impressed again at his ridiculous but gutsy bet at meta, I have come a full circle around mark!

It’s very difficult to understand something when your salary depends on not understanding it.

If you think bitcoin wastes a lot of energy, you don’t understand bitcoin. At all.

ShitcoinStory: Year: circa 2018 Shitcoin: OMG What it is(according to its white/yellow/brownpaper): it’s a payment network being setup in south Asian countries - Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia amongst others. It would enable anyone to pay without having to open a bank account in shitcoinspeak - it’ll bank the unbanked. I was quite pumped seeing the “vision, team and its massive scope”. But more than anything, I was pumped by its price rise and by my greed to get in on it. If it helps the word and I get rich in the process, it’s great. Never did I question why wouldn’t people simply use bitcoin instead? And in case I did, the naivety that perhaps because bitcoin’s transactions are slow/expensive (the usual shitcoinspeak), suppressed the logical portion of the brain. And I bought some, saw them go bonkers(moon) sold some, made money, bought some other shitcoin, lost money, repeat. My intention with this note is to simply jot down what went in my head at that time and why I bought what I did.

If a joke needs to be explained, its fun is lost. For a meme, it’s true even more.

" उमर भर ग़ालिब यही भूल करता रहा , धूल चहेरे पे थी और आयना साफ करता रहा “ Literal translation: All through life, ghalib(self/the poet) kept doing this mistake, Dirt was on the face and kept cleaning the mirror.
