Maybe we can all find some unity around this. UTXO may rek your nsec, but he never asked for your phone number. 🤯 View quoted note →

Me when the ETF and treasury grifters get their first shit sandwich. 58k boys gonna get theirs?

Go zap your favorite below deck creators. Or buy something from them. Especially the backend/infrastructure people. Their work gets very little attention. And @SeedSigner is important View quoted note →

One of the coolest #cigar bands I've seen in a while. They're usually so overly fancy and gold that they all look the same after a while. And I'm not just biased because I'm American. Canada has a weak but beautiful flag. There, I said it. I like their flag. Not biased at all. I wish our flag had a tobacco leaf. Would've made a lot of sense at the time.

Looks like some of you are trying to steal my job as the asshole of nostr. Well, I'm gonna drink about it.

@YakiHonne does a really cool thing where it shows the tagged npub's profile pic. Simple but nice touch.

Hahahahaha such a good clip View quoted note →

Fuck it. I'm starting OpenMatts. The first micro grant goes to @Laeserin

Guy does the equivalent of a Lightning micro transaction and the salad hands lose their minds.

I applied for a biomedical engineering tech job yesterday. Maybe I should send them this as a portfolio piece. This is the sort of high quality work to expect. View quoted note →

This was supposed to be a temporary rig job a couple years ago. Happy to see my redneck engineering has held up well 😂

I know I've commented that I would have been better off stacking sats instead of paying for a CS degree, but I'm starting to think that may not be true. If nothing else, the classes forced me to practice what I (now) think is the core of CS and pretty much any technical pursuit today; applying research and logic to solve problems. I'm finding that a lot of the skills I practiced can be applied outside of computing. In fact, it's been very helpful in my amateur automotive mechanic journey. I tend to view things as a larger system more than I used to (I still fall short sometimes, but I'm at least aware of it). I used to look at problems in a more isolated way and I think it hindered me. Now I tend to zoom out and not get tunnel vision. I'm better at testing and troubleshooting. CS isn't all about programming, which is what a lot of people tend to focus on. It's sexy and tangible. I get it. But I'm starting to appreciate the deeper aspects of the discipline. At the core, you're just finding solutions that make sense within a given context. A computer isn't necessarily required, but they are often involved. Maybe it's just the whiskey and this will make less sense tomorrow 😂

The more I learn, the more retarded I feel.

How much of the community is funding anything? Isn't that the whole problem? View quoted note →
