   I love the subtle pushback against racism and stereotyping that happens in Mark Rober videos. I wish more SF tech people were a little more like him. ♥️??

   Plus, this Zipline drone delivery is pretty cool. I'm still sad that over the past 10 years, we put so much more time + effort + resources into trying to put monkey jpegs into people's 401ks, than into technology like this.

     I think my VPN shields me from that, maybe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     @Qbitzerre Any implied disdain for monkey jpegs is completely intentional!

     @mekkaokereke "monkey jpegs" were a craze that lasted for about a year. Zip-line has been operating for several years for medical deliveries in remote locations. There are also legitimate use cases for NFTs that go beyond your cherry-picked disdainful citation of the technology. And none of this tech excludes anything else.

     @goatsarah @mekkaokereke watch the video through a invidious server for an ad free experience.

     @goatsarah yes! We’ve been dealing with an ant infestation this winter and I’ve been using a Borax-based product that has similar characteristics - pretty safe for us, lethal for ants. @mekkaokereke
