Hot take: More restaurants should have toothpick dispensers readily available

TIL the Heaven's Gate website is still online💀 ☄

#coracle doesn't do reposts... #ditto doesn't work with Momostr, i.e. the only working Mastodon gateway... also doesn't use hashtag lists #nosotros looks nice, and is fast, but no hashtag lists and #nostria has everything, but loads super-slow and seems to use a ton of processing power... Soooo any Web client that ticks all of the boxes here?

It's pretty amazing that Bitcoin devs get no-strings-attached salaries for just working on Bitcoin. (I take them at their word that they aren't being told what to work on.) It's hard not to emphasize what a "Star Trek" future this is compared to 99.999% (pick your 9's) of the rest of humanity. Particularly in the sciences where I work... Academic science "looks" like this on the surface, but in reality is a constant scramble to get grants from government agencies with every-shifting funding priorities, set against the backdrop of teaching obligations, graduate education, and myriad other bureaucratic duties.

Watching MIT Bitcoin expo with the Core panel... So glad that Bitcoin is being managed by a bunch of awkward Europeans who don't know how to use a microphone 🫠
