I am visiting my family and the new thing is that the TV has been off for weeks now. My mother (72y) is not very tech savvy. She went from watching TV 8+ hours a day when I was a kid, loving the local news, soap opera and other shows to ZERO.

Phones and tables replaced it all. She has access to the same content on the TV, but it is not the same. She prefers the tablet at all times.

All the local content is vertical. The "local news" is vertical only. The weather shows are vertical. Friends are sending vertical pictures and videos. Nothing fits on the TV.

Everything is on Shorts format. Mostly Instagram with LOTs of audio message reshares on WhatsApp.

She doesn't like the concept of "follows". She just want to watch interesting things. The author is absolutely irrelevant.

And she knows really well that when she Likes something the algo is going to give her more of that. So, to her, a like is a signal to the algo and not to the author.

Nobody looks at pictures on desktops and TVs. It's all mobile.

Stop taking landscape shots. Like it or not, vertical has won.

We're now hitting the computational milestones expected from various charts from over a decade ago. These trends have been on track.

Most of us still don't have robot vacuums since they still kind of struggle, but alas.

After 4 years of hanging light bulbs by a thread, I finally installed three ceiling lights. It is exhausting as hell, my neck is broken!

Great respect for electricians and all the craftsmen who work physically and hard every day.

Every once in a while it is interesting and educational to change perspective, if only for a few hours.

The fuck is going on with Europe?

What happened?

There are two types of nostr users: those who have an entire conversation via gifs and emoji reactions and those who don't even see any of that.

Fellow Bitcoiners, how do you feel about this?

Greg Maxwell, Pieter Wuille, to name two.

Need moar #bitaxe miners in every home.

Well, there’s definitely no turning back now. The U.S. government is here in bitcoin.

This is probably the most important point in bitcoin’s history.

There are many within the U.S. Bitcoin scene, particularly at bitcoin companies, that are keen on seeing the U.S. lead and “control” bitcoin, whatever that means. That’s terrifying. Bitcoin is and should always be global freedom money.

The fight is just beginning, while they hope we’re distracted by full bags.

I believe this epoch will surprise many by closing out with a higher return than the previous epoch.

In other words, an epoch candle close higher than $461,405 in April 2028.

What’s a compsci (computer science) concept that still amazes you?

You’re in a way better place if you don’t read the shit leaving his brain. nostr:note15elau39nsaqcw5rtn0ffunwlg70ky2qfxq4dxtrd6fzndgslmpzqqgangh
