"I remember someone explaining that social safety nets don’t exist out of kindness alone. Welfare isn’t about generosity from the wealthy. It exists because people with a little will protect it, but people with nothing to lose can be incredibly dangerous. That lesson feels forgotten." #SeenOnline

GM. I try to remember: bitcoin is a tool. We each use it in ways that resonate with who we are. #thoughtOfTheDay #ToTD

Something I heard today and that makes sense to me: "Politicians' incentives are mainly accumulating and maintaining power."

Catching up on pending podcasts episodes, touching on macro, geo politics, the first agreed definition of genocide, and privacy.

GM. Recently, I have tried being idle on my commute to work or walks. Not listening to podcasts or music, and instead just being there: looking at things on my way like other people, stuff you can find on the street. Our brains hate being bored/idle. It takes some effort to form that habit, too.

Slowly migrating away from big tech cloud services and to other, closer providers. Self-hosted where it makes sense, too.

This "ultra low-cost" European airline that cannot change the email address on my account (on their website) for "security purposes". They suggest that I can create a new account using my new email address. #airline #UI

One of the perks of working during this week is that we have "two Fridays". (On second thought, I should've taken off Jan 2nd, too.)
