Pre-version control devs: "I'll just copy this folder, name it project_final_final_V2_really to save my work."

Today's vibe coders: "Just tweaked the prompt for the 87th time. Saving this one as AI_output_epic_version_THIS_IS_IT."

Some things never change.

⚡️🎮 POLL - What do you think is the best video game console in history?

⚡️💬 NEW - WhatsApp is working on a pseudonym system!

In future, it should be possible to no longer have to divulge our phone number to our contacts, but to display a unique, selectable nickname instead.

This is currently being tested.

Today I learned about ‘btrfs balance’, a command that does things I don’t wanna know about yet that I’m supposed to run periodically and that is I/O-intensive.

That reminded me of ‘defrag’ on MS-DOS.

I heard recently about a bixaxe pool for solo miners to join - that paid out in lightning (or maybe cashu)... ring a bell? Anyone have a link?

⚡️💬 Enjoy human-to-human relationships on the Internet - in 20-30 years, there won't be any left…

script kiddies make this shit harder than it needs to be lol

⚡️🤖 NEW - AI is starting to replace people.

It is no longer a matter of debate, but rather a wake-up call: all major news portals are now writing about the impending job losses, directly and immediately.

There is no turning back. In the short term, learn how to apply AI at work and you will have an advantage over those who refuse to embrace AI. In the long term, however, you too are replaceable – we all are.

Buckle up.

⚡️👀 ALERT - What's happening on Nostr? A bot attack?

The degree to which non-technical people weigh in on very technical topics in Bitcoin has always surprised me.

It's not like people go around getting pissy with brain surgeons about the merits of a new procedure, or start yelling at particle physicists about the proper way to aim a neutrino...

What makes these folks think that they have any idea about the tradeoffs inherent in complex crypto-systems?

I think more devs (especially the bitcoin core devs) would do well to simply ignore the noise, most of the time. Only give your valuable time to people who have shown the proof of work and bring intellectual honesty to the conversation.

wtf is wrong with this cycle

Robots are already better at uber

So glad I self hosted zulip instead of using slack

Have only spent about 2000 hours maintaining it this year to save $13
