No such luck... View quoted note →

If they cant enforce it directly, they make it voluntary first and enforce it a bit later. Its always the same playbook. View quoted note →

I am staying so close in front of the abyss. Phantosmia since over 10 years, non-stop seizures since days. Last healing attempt via "ReMag" liquid magnesium: no success. I have two last heal attempts, if those both fail, you will soon not hear again from me, not only because I wont be able to pay internet bills anymore next year. Wish me luck, one of the last attempts occurs on 20. nov, 2 days before my birthday.

The arms industry should not be held responsible for crimes committed with its weapons. Well, murder isn't a crime as long as the state approves of it 😜. But developers are, of course, responsible for the crimes committed with their apps 🤡!

You're a politician, you undermine the privacy of all citizens and violate the constitution? Enjoy your generous pension! You're a developer and you build an app that protects privacy? You can expect 5 years in prison, 3 years of premium state surveillance, and a $250,000 fine.

Just learned about Calyx Android pausing updates for 4-6 months. Fun! I need a coffee now. GM 🥴

Religion: You are drowning in the middle of the sea and God sends you a ship to rescue you, but you ignore it because you are waiting for God's help. Spirituality: You are the sea, and you are also the ship, so when the ship helps you, you help yourself. Reality: You are black, and 100 ships come to your aid, 99 of which are occupied by slave traders.

What I have been working on since a couple weeks...

Status update, second to last.., only for Nostr enjoyers 🍻 I am still suffering from never ending phantosmia, and the latest experiments showed no signs of improvement. This week again I was forced to stay in bed for 50% of my time, fighting with seizures. Even having one right now, hanging my head 180 degrees rotated from the side of the bed, while writing this text. Next year my WG friends will move to a different place and I can't follow them. Since my financial situation only has gotten worse I am realistically speaking game over. Over the past months couple people, even from this community and OpenSats, contaced me regarding work, but all my answers take 4 times as long as people expect. As the weeks come and go, and i am seeing how little I am able to do, I wonder how I ever could be able to make them happy and how working for them would reduce my suffering. People have absolutely no idea how bad my health situation is. So my OpenSats request is still in draft, and while I really want to submit it, in the same time I fear that it would just be an absolute waste of everybodies time, since I am neither a Bitcoin, nor a Nostr maxi 🫠. Positive news is that I joined the Solidjs fellowship, helping on the work for the next SolidStart version 🎉! Meanwhile Switzerland just accepted E-ID and all I can think of since last sunday is how I could leave this failed country, with no money and instead with a damned disability that nobody ever has heard of. Call me a doomer, but I think my last hour has come.. Anyhow... keep stacking, even if it is cardboard under a bridge 😉. Have a sunny friday 🤙.

The longer I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that the only difference between democracy (as it is practiced today) and oligarchy is that oligarchs in a democracy no longer have to fear losing their heads. GM 🙋‍♀️
