✝️🙏 How long until the EU bans these emojis so as not to offend Muslims?

Uncreative corporate drones are about to become obsolete. The future of white collar work will very soon look like this: you're either the idea man, or you're unemployed. View quoted note →

They don't realize that the more emojis they censor, the more creative we'll get with our emoji usage until there are no emojis left. The 🧃 may as well just let us 🤡 on them. 8====D ~ ~ ~🇮🇱

At one time I suspected that Satoshi might be Amir Taaki.

Opt out fu sho. The identity stuff is getting ridiculous. Linux distros like Ubuntu talking about they might have to mandate that developers comply with California's age verification law. Debian upstream, took the position of "not our problem." I'm running debian unless that changes. We might end up having to build our own Arch Linux from scratch if things get worse.

Who's "we"?

ChatGPT plus plan for $20/month gives you 3000 messages per week with GPT 5.4 'thinking' or 'extended thinking'. Unlike other AI coding assistants your usage cap is not based on tokens or compute time. Even if it works on your prompt and the files you uploaded to it for 20-30 minutes that still only counts as one of your 3000 weekly messages. They have a coding agent called Codex, but I prefer to work in conversation mode in the browser for it's ability to save context on the fly for later recall and reference context from across chat threads. I just give it instructions and upload files and it returns them to me when they're ready. I handle git versioning and deployment on my own so I retain full control. It also acts as a consultant. I discuss the direction of the project and it comes up with a development roadmap that takes my idea from concept to production release. We follow it step by step and make additions to from time to time. It's also very good at debugging most of the time. Basically I take on the role of project engineer while ChatGPT functions as both an engineering consultant and team of subordinate developers. This project is almost 20k lines of code across 42 files and I haven't written a single line of code.

Xi Jinping calls for Strait of Hormuz to be opened amid Iran conflict Of course he does. This situation hurts China most of all. Prolonged sanctions on Russia, taking control of Venezuela, war with Iran shutting down the straight... It's all connected. The USA is gaining a strangle hold on the global oil/LNG market and this gives them leverage over China who is wholly dependent on imported energy. That's the real objective here. https://share.google/YoihLk9BH8a7UAeFA

Everything inside my garden area is strictly organic, but I have no qualms about putting chemicals on my lawn or the gravel areas.

GM nostr! Beautiful day today. Got some home health people coming over this morning to help the wife, then got some more spring cleanup to do around the property outside.
