When I lived there was not much preservation but left in 2005. I lived in Lakeview area and the brownstones were coming down fast for condos. I rode the El everywhere so walking saw it all the time. Not long ago I did a street view drive aeound old neighborhood. Seems the condo push luckily slowed.
Unfortunately? That is usually how it is. Right wing types are usually the developers who only care about maximizing profits. Like with the brownstones they tore down a single family home and sold the old Chicago bricks. Then made 3 condos in its place with new cheaper bricks. 🤦
Yeah replace Shakespeare with Mad Libs.
So sad. They did same in Chicago when I lived there. Tore down awesome brownstones and replaced with souless three-flats.
Pickleball is a psyop.
If my client loads up some old notes before refreshes I can't help but like the notes to just weird people out. 🤣
"Israeli police have released footage of an officer on a motorcycle shooting two Hamas fighters in a captured police car. The incident took place on Saturday near the city of Netivot."

I saw this on LinkedIn and seems to have a successful AI startup you need to stress to potential users that you do NOT use Google or its APIs!
"Google killed 100s of startups with a single event.
This is what they announced:
🤖 Google Assistant can summarize web pages
🤖 AI will fix your grammar mistakes before you send messages
🤖 AI will answer phone calls from unknown numbers to filter spam calls
🤖 You can create summaries of your voice notes straight from their app
🤖 you can change the face expression of people in pictures
🤖 You can remove or change any object in an image with a tap
There are tens of companies selling AI summarization for web pages, and now it’s in Chrome. Grammarly sells “better writing”, and now it’s in the Android keyboard. Tens of companies sell meeting summarization, and now that’s on the Android voice notes. Photoshop sells so many AI features that now are on the Android “Magic Editing” function."

Most hosting sucks. The only times I won't use fiber is some Cisco switches seem to like DAC better for stacking. Hosting is such a low margin buisness cutting corners is expected. But 10Gbit SFF-8431 supports fiber, twisted pair, and DAC.
Sad but true.
Yes, and yes but should be "empty heifer" 🤙
GM!
This, all by itself is why I will not ever recommend fuckfox. Great summary of how they are not and cannot be on your side. They are just as much a Google browser, and just as corrupt.

Brave, Firefox, and Chrome I avoid.
So I have a skunk that hangs out around my guesthouse (home office) and it's too smart to go into the trap so can be relocated. Now my work schedule is being decided by the whims of a skunk. 🦨

Ironically I have this song on my "CyberRange" playlist. 😉

Nostr game idea for any bored devs.
A game similar to Papers Please but a dystopian future (aka now) where you put your nsec in, which you intrust they encrypted it and then have to play the game to "win" it back and become an Internet Citizen.
Some inspiration:
Always remember. #advicestr
I agree. Don't think relays are the issue. Convoluted subscription ones might add to the confusion. But is mainly painting ourselves into a orange corner a bit. I love Bitcoin and even get tired of 80% of notes I see about it.
I watch that lady on YouTube in Svalbard. Is wild looking place. 🤙

Livejournal 🤣 I had completely forgot about that one until just now.
First wave of podcasting in 2005'ish did to me. This is more like the blogging era when everyone had a blog. 😉
