I create Fediverse software that empowers people online. I'm vegan btw. Note: If you have a question for me, please tag me publicly. This gives the opportunity for others to chime in, and bystanders to learn.

Collecting things is bad. Unless it has historical value or something, you really don't need that Pokemon card or video game merch. It's a consumer product, designed to exploit your monkey brain into opening your wallet. It will never bring you happiness. As soon as you have it you'll just want the next thing. This is not sustainable. Instead, be a person who creates things that other people want to collect.

Why do people say "I feel low blood sugar 😩" instead of "I'm hungry"?

I want to build a Nostr relay that bridges something that really shouldn't be bridged. I already bridged Miiverse to the Fediverse once, so that's off the table. Domino's pizza tracker?

This guy almost gets Nostr.

After reviewing the evidence, I'm convinced the government of Azerbaijan sponsors people to troll Americans on the internet.

Soapbox is so much better than Mastodon it's insane. It took them years to add the connector between posts in threads and it still looks terrible.

You're looking at it from the standpoint of a protocol that's not yet totally fragmented. I can tell you in the ActivityPub world, where things are a lot more antagonistic, the way to win is by pretending to be Genghis Khan building and destroying nations.

It's more likely Ditto will get groups support before Rebased.

Tattoos are impacted by copyright law, so Nintendo could DMCA you for posting a picture of yourself with the tattoo visible.

I'm doing some big refactors to the Soapbox develop branch. If you're pulling from develop, please be prepared to embrace the pain.

There are things you can control and things you can't control. How about you focus on things you can control.
