if power and internet went down for two weeks, how would you handle it?

You are completely underestimating how much grand creative energy is just someone being so pissed off about something that they decide to build dramatically something better.

It actually takes a looooonnngg time, lots of blood, sweat and tears, in order to build something dramatically better. And nobody will pay you to do it because you're That Girl or That Guy who wouldn't stop complaining and nobody likes, anyway, because your idea is so wild that it sounds ridiculous.

You have to stay frustrated and spiteful and a bit arrogant for a very long time, and channel that energy into work.

It has to keep you up at night.

It has to wake you up in the morning.

It has to upset your social life.

It has to make your food taste bland.

It has to invade your dreams.

It has to hurt your day job.

It has to cause you to lose friends and upset people.

It has to drive you, or you will never get where you want to go.

May your righteous anger keep you building. 🫡

damus will stop working when you follow around 1800+ people. the only thing I can think of is some algorithm that looks at all the people who haven't posted in awhile and only probabilistically include them in the filter.

The relay pool model (damus) straight up breaks when you follow too many people. The proper fix is have people spread across different relays (outbox), then you can break apart the large query into smaller ones.

Let’s stop dancing around it: Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

No one “earns” a billion dollars.

You extract a billion.

From underpaid workers.

From deregulated industries.

From tax havens.

From stolen land, stolen labor, and generational exploitation.

Meanwhile, nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty on less than $2 a day (source: World Bank). And we’re out here defending the people who could end global hunger with a fraction of their net worth but choose not to?

Let’s be clear:

You don’t get to be a billionaire without creating suffering.

You underpay. You outsource. You lay off. You lobby to kill regulations.

You exploit a system built to protect wealth—not people.

Why do we tolerate it?

Because we’ve been sold a lie: that “someday,” we might be rich too.

But statistically, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than become a billionaire.

This fantasy isn’t harmless—it’s a weapon used to keep you compliant.

There is no moral justification for hoarding more wealth than entire nations while children die from preventable diseases.

Billionaires aren’t a sign of a healthy economy.

They’re a symptom of a broken one.

A society that lets a few live like gods while millions suffer is not free—it’s feudal.

Amazingly, over the last five decades, 79 Trillion dollars has been redistributed to the 1% from the lower 90%.

In the documentary Where To Invade Next, Michael Moore interviews the owners of a textiles plant in Italy and informs them that if they used American business practices, they could drastically increase their profits and asks them why wouldn’t they do that?

Their reply was, they don’t need to become “more rich”. They are already wealthy enough and bring enough in to enjoy their lives. The woman says clearly, “I’d rather see that go to the employees. To have real relationships with them, to see them happy. It’s amazing to hear people ask how your mother is doing, from a coworker.”

The power vacuum is full throttle, and the powers that be have become a snowball rolling down a hill, and we have reached critical mass.

I’m not left, I’m not right.

I’m a person. I think for myself.

It’s obvious that we are heading in a bad direction, and I hope leaders rise and the people stand up for themselves. Speak up, say something, anything is better than complacency and silence.
