(GOOD AFTERNOON FREAKS β)
that is a freudian slip if ever seen one
and he realises too once he hears it coming out of his mouth with the whole touch wood moment
they know they're fucked. they must just be praying now collapse doesn't happen on their watch, and that their retirement funds can carry them through their golden years unscathed
hopes and prayers motherfuckers. games up cunts
when I fast (skip breakfast) I feel good and sleep better.
breakfast isnt my enemy. feeling good just feels good
don't really understand how it works
but it solves my issue, is open source, and the best bit - its not WoS
yeah right so its true
don't think I saw that before but yeah just a black coffee, not the vodka for me lol

I'm shit at social media.
I'm a chronic lurker and chronic reposter.
I never have any original or good thoughts and tbh don't have a lot of time for apps.
I just like keeping tabs on bitcoin and 'the world' (aka a few latest headlines)
But I hate what big tech has become - surveillance and control - so I'm not going anywhere.
Peace and love freaks β
don't acquire bitcoin from exchanges
I do really like the 'follow xxxxx's feed' feature though. that's good way to find new nosties
#primal android seems really slow to me. the feeds do not update for me, or take forever. I thought they were trying to make it extra slick via indexing. and then can't help but feel I'm missing stuff...
where my #amethyst homies at
its effectively one government entity though, ie three letter agency, not even two giant corps. its like they gave up control at network layer, leave that to the humming freaks, we'll get 'em on the application layer. probably a good lesson for bitcoin. and even what we're starting to see play out with etfs etc.
Todayβs my birthday, itβs the longest birthday Iβve ever had, and one of the longest ones possible. My birthday will last 44 hours for me. I believe itβs possible to have a single calendar day last almost 48 hours.
I woke up in Aotearoa New Zealand, GMT+13, and am traveling to San Francisco GMT-8. Just after I take off from Auckland, the day will start in San Francisco.
I believe to maximize the length of an experienced calendar day you could travel from either Big Diomede Island in Russia to Little Diomede in Alaska, but neither island is inhabited so thereβs no regular flights or ferry service. Samoa and American Samoa have the international dateline going between them and there are flights and ferry services between them. And the weather is more pleasant. So if you wanted a 48 hour day, you could start in Samoa, then close to midnight, hop on a plane and fly the few minutes to American Samoa. Geographically a ton of South Pacific islands are west of the international dateline but choose to use a TimeZone and date to the west of it so they can facilitate trade and cultural integration with the rest of Oceania.
Timezones are weird, really weird. Did you know thereβs an open source flat file database which encodes all timezones that have ever existed? Including details on all changes to daylight saving time. Itβs crazy, itβs own flat file format. The file is maintained and created by ICANN, the same weird international body that manages domain names and ip address allocation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database
I find ICANN and its sister organization the IETF fascinating. Theyβre twin organizations, started as the internet emerged from a US government owned, university run network in to something all the rest of us are using. When ICANN was created, there was worry that the US government shouldnβt own and govern the internet for everybody. Many countries wanted to put internet governance under the UN, but there was a worry that if the UN controlled governance of the internet, then it wouldnβt keep itβs free wheeling ways, and would end up being a much more tightly regulated and censored place than it was through the 90βs or even as it is today.
So a totally new kind of organization was created, a multistakeholder international governmental body. ICANNβs mandate was strictly limited to issuing domain names and allocating IP addresses. The organizationβs mandate would not extend to what people did with those domain names and ip addresses. Servers physically existed in sovereign countries, if you moved your data to a new country, then that government was now responsible. The sleight of hand was meant to let technologists play jurisdictional games, which is what made all sorts of things on the internet possible.
What does a multistakeholder governance model look like? Instead of the UN, where only nation states get a seat at the table, or a standards body run as a consortium of businesses where companies get a say in the rules, the ICANN process said that nations, companies, and civil society (NGOβs, social movements, religious institutions, etcβ¦) are all co-equal in running the organization. ICANN is staffed mostly by diplomats. The meetings are held every 6 months in some random place in the world. ICANN collects a tax from domain name registrars, who then sell the ability to register domain names to registries. Itβs this super weird, global government, which collects taxes, and has transparent public meetings. It is the opposite of what any conspiracy theorist thinks of when they hear global government. Anybody can show up and get a say, participate, but they keep everybody away by being very very very boring.
ICANN is run by an endless web of committees, itβs sister organization IEFT which defines internet standards is the most boring version of anarchism possible. The IETF moto is βWe reject kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code.β In IETF meetings, you express your opinion about the discussion through humming! Yes HUMMING! Itβs so weird, ICANN is an all encompassing global government which collects taxes (they call them fees) and its sister is this anti-authoritarian anarchist standards body.

Honestly, I think both organizations could be a model going forward for how we manage the world beyond and after the dominance of the nation state and corporations. Theyβre far from perfect, but they do kind of work. Really truly different kinds of was of organizing society. And the internet is as big and complicated thing as weβve made as humans.
Anyway, all this is a weird round about way of saying, itβs my very very long birthday.
thank you for dropping knowledge on my TL and
