Ukraine is the very definition of none of Washington DC’s fucking business. Full Stop.

I don't think it's about sympathizing with Putin, it's about the degree of involvement and financing America has taken on. there are always conflicts happening around the world, does that mean America should be donating trillions to everyone to help them fight?

i spend so many neural cycles thinking about program structure. It leads to efficient code that is nice to read… but is it a good use of my time? Im not so sure. Maybe i’m just training data at this point.

If ai gets good enough to get 80% of the code quality but i can do 10x more, maybe its better… the ai is not good enough yet to build whole projects like nostrdb, but I’m sure its inevitable.

cause I don't like where x, EU, Telegram are heading to

and it's amazing to join the ride so early

🚨🚨 Zap Challenge Alert 🚨🚨

We're now a commodity.

There's a saying that's become a bit of a cliche at this point: If you're getting something for free, you're the product. Indeed, that's the case for a lot of free services online like Google, Facebook and Instagram. These are companies that sell your attention to advertisers, your data to analytics firms and your tendencies to propagandists. More to the point, there are lots more free things like TV and radio that have been selling the same for a long time. You are the product.

What's concerning is that we're not being sold for advertising, but now for gambling. Sports these days is more about fantasy football and prop bets than it is cheering for your team. And nearly every crypto ad is about joining their casino. Even pay-to-play games are exploiting this dynamic, where getting us addicted is a lot more profitable than merely getting our attention.

It's a whole new evil out there. Stop being someone else's commodity.
