@lain @silverpill "We promise that we can control other people's software". Uhm, no?

This butcher was pretty serious about Valentine's Day:

Someone at the CCC must really love ecosystem lock-ins with Google, Apple, and Microsoft...

My favorite kind of passenger plane, and what a beautiful day to see Panama from above:

@swf Could you point me to where the deliverables of this project have been published? Would also be good to add a link to the page I guess...

Woke up to blue skies at @hackerbeach today. The morning cofe tastes even better now.

@burrito.space Bocas del Toro, Panamá.

@lain @dansup Plz rename to Pixelfred immediately.

@84dee6e676e5bb67b4ad4e042cf70cbd8681155db535942fcc6a0533858a7240 It hurts both my brain and heart, that so many FOSS developers advocating for open protocols and open networks have given in to cynical anti-bitcoin FUD, and positioned themselves against a truly open-source, decentralized, permissionless, inclusive, fast, and cheap alternative to the utterly centralized, controlled, surveilled, exclusive, proprietary, corporate currencies and payment systems of the world.

Lightning works.

Went for a little hike through the jungle and around the property. Interesting flowers everywhere.

Off-grid #hackerbeach paradise found! Solar power and rain water only, Starlink for Internet, a bunch of nice humans, and two good-hearted doggos. Only accessible by boat, and with a coral reef for snorkeling on the door step.

I'm going to try something new for Getting Shit Done™ this year. I'm going to set one priority goal per calendar week, putting it somewhere I see it all the time, and documenting the results.

Let's see how it goes...

@drsimevans Electricity prices having tripled since 2020 is conspicuously missing from your analysis.

@lain LowER in sugar. 😂

Dat German tea technology.

Nobody uses Linux on the desktop. Nobody uses XMPP. Nobody uses email. Nobody encrypts email with PGP. Nobody uses RSS. Nobody uses the fediverse. Nobody uses Nostr. Nobody uses the Lightning Network. And nobody uses bitcoin as actual currency.

Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Nobody.

@lain Poorly photochopped product images in stock photos is a whole new category of Chinese art now.

@eighthave Yeah, comments pushing for quick merges instead of adding actual code reviews, or for handing over maintainership altogether, should immediately raise some flags in maintainers' minds. Personally, I found that further probing and asking for actual contributions were good strategies to evaluate intentions.

@404mediaco There's nothing batshit crazy at all about a company owning the URLs on their own domain. That automatically includes public usernames on centralized services.
