Should I try nix?

Until a few months ago I was extremely skeptical of AI, thought it was overhyped, etc. I started using it more and more for work and it changed my mind. It's still overhyped but I now recognize how transformative it is. It won't replace all intelectual human labor as many claim. It's a useful tool, a companion. In the 60s/70s, the best programmers were the ones that could memorize more and consult reference manuals faster. After the 00s, the best programmers are the ones that can google the answers faster. Now, in the 20s, the best programmers will be the best prompters. It's important to recognize paradigm shifts. Adapt or die.

Me using the Tor browser to listen to music on youtube because youtube blocks VPN endpoints but not Tor exit nodes

It's absolutely wild that you can't use YouTube with a VPN IP while not signed in. Internet is getting completely unusable. I rather not use YouTube than turn off VPN or god forbid, create a Google account. Note: this applies as well to all other FOSS youtube apps and frontends like LibreTube, NewPipe, yt-dlp. They also get broken.

The first thing I do when I try out a new app is go straight to the Settings page and go through every option. This is not weird

Not a good day for me. My family was sick last week, I thought I would survive it, but no, I feel like shit today, can't even celebrate the 100k. I also bought a new kingsize bed for me and my wife, but can't use it because the fucking bedstead it too big to pass through the stairs or the bedroom windows. Might have to make a hole in the stairs ceiling just make room to pass that thing.

This pump is fake and gay and everyone who is taking it seriously as a "bull market pump" is retarded. There's no real change in adoption that justifies it. On-chain activity is a ghost town. Price is pumping for the exact same reason DOGECOIN is pumping: bitcoin is still mainly traded as a speculative memecoin, despite whatever maxis try to paint it on their podcasts. Rant over. Until we meet again.

I got #dojo 1.25 up and running again just to take the new #ashigaru wallet. Feels good to have hope again. Here's my new paynym

Your PayNym Pepe is a memorable and friendly character uniquely generated from a hash of your BIP47 reusable payment code.

Let's not forget, #freesamourai

Hello friends. I haven't posted in a while. I realized I was spending too much time on my phone. It was unhealthy for me and a terrible example for my children. I deeply regret all the time wasted on meaningless online debates with internet trolls. It wasn't worth it. A change was needed. This is not a goodbye.

If Kamala wins, non-KYC utxos will be worth 44.6% more. That's one of the largest pumps ever. Bullish. Vote Kamala

I do this. Not because I want to, but because toddlers love to turn off the lights while you take a shower

Ok I'll bite. What is #zig and why is it better than #rust?

What happened to the HackerNews bot? I miss him

Next I want to mute quotes that just add an emoji before the quoted note. Technology will get there eventually 🤞
