https://dailydot.com/bitcoin-bison-dollars-meme https://youtu.be/Shxiy7l5b_4 No joke, when I saw the movie as a kid, this scene blew my mind. There's a scene after where someone, Sagat I think, steals or is left with the "treasure" after Bison is defeated. When he opens the treasure expecting spoils of riches, 'alas!', he's so mad that it's just the worthless Bison dollars. I remember so clearly asking my dad about this and why people couldn't just make their own money. Feeling like I didn't understand how paper money was worth something... Crazy how after all these years and I can connect the dots back. https://youtu.be/tV2qoDVnfxs

Duh! He invented it!

I think the Proton ad is good, but misleading. TONNES of apps *specifically* get microphone access despite being apps that wouldn't seem to need to require it. (Photo editing app for example). So your mic is, 100% being used to harvest you. Let's assume it. In most normal cases. Yes, behaviour profiling doesn't require much access, and is powerful. And is not widely understood nor cared about, but mic access makes it easier for Random Company XYZ to collect and sell data. Very specific data.

Oh fuck off. Hahaha Did you ever see the original street fighter movie?

Lol Villian arc

Lol. People can barely pull off lowest common demoninator democracy with a pencil. 🫠

The Metaverse was just too early. Zuck made a bet. And being too early, as the maxium goes, is the same as being wrong. A decade too early IMO. We might not call it "the metaverse" though when it arrives. It'll be extensions of our reality in virtual spaces. Sort of an AR (augmented reality). My favourite example is the mall. If we "Google Mapped" aka took photos of the entire mall then we could send our avatars there to go shopping. Instead of retailers' 2D websites... We will send our avatars shopping, pick up virtual shoes to check out and virtually pay for them. Imagine instead of "not" being at work, you could send your avatar to the office while you are working at home IRL. Once wearable tech gets better, more seamless, I think this AR capability will have traction. Metaverse will just be 3D representations of the analog world. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/technology/mark-zuckerbergs-metaverse-vr-horizon-worlds.html

Nice job!

I feel that. Nostr has gotten more complex and difficult to use steadily since 2023. So much edgecase stuff. But the fundamentals haven't even been optimized for the average normie. 😕 Nostr is for anyone, but not everyone.

Lol

Far more of a dystopian waking nightmare than most of us could have predicted a decade ago. God help us.

Yeah they are brual. It's like a headache that is ALT+F4 repeatedly but your head is in a vice that's in another vice. 😨😶‍🌫️

RELAX, DON'T DO IT. #FRANKIESAYSRELAX

Rookie mistake. Haha. Did it last week with a beer by accident. But mine didn't explode. Just a little leak.
