Thanks are due to this guy even if he only wakes up one person. Takes more balls than most people realize to do that on national tv

Microsoft marketing douches and MBAs don’t get the irony of Windows Recall

Imagine:

You code an engine to process something. Elegant, efficient and powerful.

Buts its actual regular workload doesn’t even cause it to break a sweat.

So you occasionally throw a ridiculous test at just to enjoy observing how well it does what it does.

This brings you joy.

This is what car people are doing when they rev their engine, or race their car at the track, or do a (safe and legal) fast launch from a dead stop.

Don’t judge them negatively because they are into something that you aren’t.

I share this form of guilt and thank her regularly for putting up with me

many people don’t know that IROC stands for International Race of Champions. It was racing with top drivers from different types of racing all put in common-spec built cars. the Camaro Z-28 was used in the 80’s, resulting in Chevy’s special edition Z-28’s, known as…

The IROC-Z

How you going to say that on literally the biggest racing day of the year?

Monaco GP won by the hometown boy, Charles LeClerc. He revved his engine today and I think he’s cool!

Indy 500 won by last year’s winner for the first back-to-back in like twenty five years.

Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race is running right now at Charlotte.

I second that middle finger

We need “sudo2” to prevent sudo from being able to make root level changes.

Maybe we need to make it sudo’s all the way down.

sysadmin earlier in my career. I got used to vi because it was always there and always works.

I eventually learned nano so I wouldn’t have to explain to other people how to use vi while troubleshooting over the phone or shoulder

Please no. I shudder at the thought.

Unpopular opinion, but here it goes: UX is the most important problem we need to solve for Bitcoin Privacy.

We can hate on KYC exchanges all we want, but they've got UX nailed down. We cannot expect privacy to become the norm when I have to take an hour out of my day to make a P2P trade.

Now that CASPs will start delisting privacy assets like Monero and blocking coinjoined btc with the EU's new AMLR, we're being stripped of using regulated exchanges even semi-privately. This makes P2P exchanges like BISQ Network even more important, but its of no use to regular users when you need an introductory course in computer science before understanding what's going on in the app.

Privacy will only become the norm when we make it usable for everybody. **If you're a UX designer, copywriter, or in any other way have expertise in UX design, please consider contributing BISQ:** https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq

ℹ️ If you're not a developer, contributing to GitHub projects can be scary. It really doesn't have to be. I can't tell my asshole from a python script either, and if I can do it, you can too.

Here's how to get started:

If you find a UX issue in the BISQ app that could be improved, start by opening an issue in the BISQ github repository. Give it a clear title describing the problem you want to solve.

Add screenshots or videos to your issue showing what the problem is. If you can, add a proposal for a potential solution. Bonus points if you can add wireframes, layouts or clickdummy documentation. For reference, see npub1zqsu3ys4fragn2a5e3lgv69r4rwwhts2fserll402uzr3qeddxfsffcqrs 's work on eNuts: https://github.com/cashubtc/eNuts/issues/341 (I don't know how to tag people here but you get the idea).

In open source projects, questions are your friends. I've spent countless hours asking every dev i know absolutely insufferable questions, and I still dont know how the fuck to get out of VIM. Everybody starts somewhere, and most people are happy to help.

If you already know how to use git or github and can code a little, ask where you could find the corresponding code for your problem in your issue and offer to do a PR. If you can't, ask what assets would be needed to implement your proposal. Remember that people are nice and generally happy about new contributors, even if you're a beginner.

If you have any questions on contributing to open source projects as a non-coder, feel free to reach out anytime. My DMs are open (I think).

Best way to get out of vim is to stay out of it in the first place 😉

vi: ESC, :q!

nano: Ctrl+X
