It is an absolutely horrific plan of ethnic cleansing of #Gaza. Is this going to be some some sort of 'smart city' as well? Absolutely gross. These grifters are evil and never forget that #colonialism ends with forced decolonization. Settler colonialism can never avoid the death knell it will hear, as all colonial states will face that music. #palestine

How Jared Kushner's Gaza plan would erase Palestinian culture

Shower thought time (no, I'm not actually showering right now 😅) I love the anonymity behind a cryptographically verifiable identity. The identity is formed through history of use of that identity and no one can impersonate as I have my own key and no one can take it, unless I'm a noob and let someone take it. I love this anonymity because at the end of it, who the fuck am I? Who knows? Let the identity speak for itself. There is something so liberating of having this anonymity. Obvious drawback: the more shared, the more I reveal bits and pixels of some real entity. #showerthoughts

I hate that I still spend time on Twitter X. It's a terrible platform and I hate how much activity it still gets. More people should use nostr. I'm unfortunately getting flashbacks of convincing some friends and family to get signal. It was annoying, and for those who stuck with whatsapp, probably a good idea I dont associate with meta bootlickers anyways lol. Soon I will apply the same with those that keep using Twitter X. Why waste more time.

I see @Mina 👽💜 linked kmfdm. here's one that I like! any other Is KMFDM fans on nostr? #music #tunestr

I need to remind friends of this when I suggest them switching over to Linux. It's not difficult; Linux just gives the user more control, if needed. View quoted note →

Real identities are masked; masks allow for real identities. 🤔

X is a silly place. serious talk only on nostr

Bezos is saying economies of scale applies to computing and that we should just rent computing power? Hold on I thought it was supposed to be the 'communists' that seize the means of production and 'private property,' not by the capitalists. rent seeking monopolies that won't even let you have an independent machine to run games. Makes ya think. #Linux #proprietary #sovereignty #FOSS

I think I need to cut down on coffee

Feed me more of the unknown, Wash away expectations, and let the shine of the unreal manifest into a surprise

I like the feelings of uncertainty. Its uncomfortable and scary depending on the situation, but there's something so liberating about just letting things flow as they do. Amor fati #stoicism
