no idea but maybe this helps:

I find midjourney produces artefacts/weird juju that needs a paint over tidy up in an editing program, if you're going for pixel art aseperite is a nice tool

Primal.net is awesome.

Eww Taylor Lorenz

They've already got my retina scans, suppose an arm or two can't hurt

Coding is hard enough with two hands 🤔

I dunno was it the Easter egg I ate before bed or messages from the divine but all I did last night was zaps making the internet great again. There's no way that these sites can compete with zaps, right? $9.99 minimum sub/paywall to justify a Stripe account vs making the info available to all and getting a dime or a dollar multitude more times.

You're fighting the good fight my man, you're an inspiration to us all. All we can do is learn to educate, build, design, deploy so that when the horses come to water it's as easy as possible for them to drink!

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Woah.

The simplicity of the auth + immediacy of the zaps, two killer apps in one

Some day you'll be able to write a banging note on your morning commute and use the zaps you got to pay for your lunch.

Someone zapped me but I can't see who it was so I zapped someone else @ person who zapped me

While everyone concentrated on TikTok as the backdoor for the CCP to take over the West, no one noticed Copilot slowly creeping in...

They killed Jesus today for preaching about peace, love and equality. Tomorrow, they might kill you for not handing over your private keys 🤣 the NPCs haven't changed much over the course of history, have they?

Bed with a book time. And this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxO-DeAEZDM #plebchain might like it.

Vimtutor is a fine Tuesday evening.
