Headline: North Korean bodegas selling weed for Bitcoin to finance nuclear program says bank backed senator.
Absolutely.
Always makes me think of pigs eating at a trough.
I hate hearing people being referred to as “tax payers”. How demeaning is it to be reduced to some government revenue stream and be proud of it when complaining about not getting your .0001% of it back in a substandard service.
Just like your job doesn’t define you, the level of appropriation that the pressed suits calmly take from you (they make YOU do the math) shouldn’t define you either.
I don’t know what country you are from and therefore don’t know the social and cultural context.
I would say that maybe college doesn’t need to be free but just worth what it provides.
Nothing is free and maybe that money could be put to better use by productive people. Especially if nothing is really learned overall.
Here in the US it shouldn’t also need to be seen as compulsive. Most of my peers found their initial majors too hard and opted to go for easier degrees to get the piece of paper.
Yeah I also realized that it’s mostly unusable on Firefox and I think that’s also a Firefox issue.
I just used a separate browser while fiat mining for my personal email, zap stream (NoGood tunes), and snort.
It could be my number of relays and JavaScript VM process blocking etc.
Your process of waiting for snort sounds like what I used to do when I was waiting for my code to compile back in my software dev days. 😂
- Compile code
- Get coffee
- Browse news
- Check progress
Used to be my go to client on the desktop (kind of still is) and be much faster.
I still try to primarily use it. Sometimes if I need to check something really quick I might just load primal.
Education is free. You just need to know where to look.
Now “approved” and “accredited” education you’re talking about.
Institutional education should be fairly priced.
Mass removal of Administrative glut.
Removal of moral hazard that is rubber stamp loans. If you know you’re going to get paid anyway, wouldn’t you just jack up the price?
Because lazy HR and hiring departments believe that the best way to demonstrate you can read, write, and reason for a job is to have partied for 4 years like they did.
I’ve seen a lot of BA psychology degrees for the Office Manager class.
Probably doesn’t have to be said but it’s more of a ridiculous demonstration of how much power the executive branch (and federal government) has that everyone has to pay undue attention to the presidency every 4 years aka “vote or die!”. The “right” person needs to get in or “democracy dies”. Etc and so on.
That and the idea of legislating through executive orders shows a break down of separation of powers.
I’d rather pay little attention to that and focus on more local shit shows.
Wtf word salad is this lol

Just VC tap dance talk for “we will host on linode now since we asked them pretty please not to rug us…also we hired some devs that know ansible”
From what I read and heard this is probably going to die in the house and is more marketing mindshare than anything…for the next go around.
It’s definitely a good opportunity to let views be known though.
I just keep my mouth shut and smile.
Nods help.
Bathroom breaks during the obligatory current thing establishment alignment talking point works well enough.
Yeah. Not everything has to be on Nostr or at least not today. I support integration with nostr or more importantly having options.
It took me a while to grasp it.
I had to read up on it and recreate it in code to have the aha moment. (Just how I learn some things)
There are 2 elements of a YouTube style client.
The organization of metadata (listings)
Actual storage
YouTube does both because it’s centralized and I don’t know if it loss leaders it’s service for other purposes or not. Haven’t checked how profitable it is.
The idea here that you can use kind 1063 and host a URL elsewhere works too.
I’m still building something that could be useful for decentralized storage though it’s far from ready for prime time.
Flare’s is probably a good start especially for bootstrapping a set up.
🤷♂️
Knowing how all this shit goes down I’m sure the government and media are prepared for multiple scenarios.
- If it gets leaked it’s Russian/Hamas/Far right misinformation or some sort of 3 letter operation, clients were “playing their part”
- start a new war
- tank economy
- say it was “for climate change”
- continue riding the wave of “speculation and conspiracy theory” so that the any story gets buried
- Fact checkers chime in “False, studies show that human cells die off every 7 years into new cells. This means that it was provably a different person on the island”
