Well-designed currency shouldn't need a central authority to print it, manage it, or equally distribute it. With smart enough money, those which currently do work as/for such a central authority will have their jobs freed to work on solutions to more pressing problems which will better benefit society. (replace "central authority" with banks/governments/companies/NGOs/deep state/divine intervention/whatever fits with your worldview)

Which do you think is more likely: that governments eventually collectively realise that copyright is harmful to humanity and repeal/cease enforcing it, or that generative AI gains enough power to force said governments' hands into doing so?

I stop checking crypto prices for 1 week. 1 week, and I come back to see that Monero has flippened Bitcoin Cash and left Hyperliquid in the dust.

Happy birthday to the greatest collaborative knowledge project of all time. Wikipedia turns 25 today!

Playing Uno actually by the standard rules seems to make it a way simpler, more easily understandable game, whilst actually making it more strategic. The many popular variations tend to end up causing more chaos and pain for the players, especially if they can't be agreed on. Not saying that chaos is bad or anything, though I do recommend looking through the gameplay leaflet before starting your next play session.

Things that are both good and free are usually good because of, not despite, being free. (this works for 'free' as in both gratis and libre)

1 block at a time, never missing a beat, for 17 years. Happy birthday Bitcoin!

Welcome to 2026! For anyone wishing to start their year off with some positive impact, I highly recommend giving Veganuary a try:

Happy Public Domain day to all those who celebrate

Huh, so this is the most widely celebrated holiday in the world

"Hey, thanks for coming onto the podcast today! To kick this off, we'll start with a simple question: who's the best person you've ever talked to and why is/isn't it me?"

Winter is here, and so is the end to my friendship with the humble hot water bottle to counter the cold. The electric blanket is my new meta.

Do network engineers call nibbles 'quartets'?

The best thing you can do for humanity is to convince others. The best thing you can do for yourself is to be convinced by someone else.

We need a 4-day week, a 16-day month, and a 256-day year. It would make everything so much easier!! Who do I call to make this happen?

We finally have it. For 30 years, the greatest minds across the globe have been perfecting the spread of information, dopamine release cycle, filtering & popularisation of content, and creation of the ultimate form of humour. So tiny and so diamond-perfect as to have no meaning whatsoever. But this would not be innovative enough to even survive in the modern net's amusement landscape. It is also so truly incontaminable as to be unable to ever attach any meaning to, especially so now that we have recently achieved global mindshare. So meaningless, so diconnected from reality, and so unbelievably hilarious (or enraging) as to immediately induce insanity in the mind of the victim. This is true brainrot, taken to its ultimate logical conclusion. We have distilled all of the world's funniness into a single, definite compound. It has 100% purity, maximum concentration, and supreme potency. We are, at last, ready for worldwide activation of the perfect mind-disabling superweapon, for the achievement of the metaphysical ideal of [DATA EXPUNGED]. The compound is not known by any standard name – only by its unique compound ID number: 67.

What's stopping me from using tomato soup as pasta sauce?

When I die I want my brain to be uploaded into a 130 000 node Kubernetes cluster, and to have my life's savings pay for the compute bill.
