nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx was right. shitcoins didn’t die this cycle. the suits (and the president lmfao) took shitcoining to a whole new level

What is a president but a more powerful suit.

Hey they’re giving away dollars for 55¢ on Polymarket. #nfl

For anyone interested in the law that has allowed the US government to ban #tiktok, here is a great deep dive on the subject. It has nothing to do with just this app, and it will not stop here.

We should be compassionate towards Tiktokers. They’ve learned the hard way that these people hate them and can’t be trusted. Bring them into the fold, there’s always room in this tent.

It’s like Groundhog Day watching people assume a politician is going to do anything other than what is beneficial and convenient for them personally.

Vim is still king for being able to quickly navigate through and manipulate blocks of text. And neovim’s customizability and extensions are fantastic.

I hope you like them! If you’ve also read The Richest Man in Babylon and The Simple Path to Wealth then there’s basically no other personal finance reading that’s truly required in my opinion.

Some of my recent favorites by subject:

Personal Finance - The Psychology of Money, Morgan Housel

Politics - Tribalism is Dumb, Andrew Heaton

Novelized Non-Fiction - Bringing Down the House, Ben Mezrich

Biography - Ghost Rider, Neil Peart

Last night I finished up The Fourth Turning. Overall it was a fascinating lens consider history through; the interdependent nature of generational personalities and the eras the live in, how each is a natural consequence of the other, makes a great deal of sense.

I will say though, that book can be absolutely dense at times. For better or worse, it goes extremely deep in its details.

I’ll definitely pick up the sequel “The Fourth Turning is Here” at some point in the future.

Can someone help me understand the fixation with the Bitcoin log chart? I get that it smooths out the curves. But how is this not just moving goalposts?

I've taken the plunge into #NixOS and set up all of my dotfiles and packages to be managed by it with Home-Manager. Definitely a bit of a learning curve but I'm loving this thing and so excited to see just how deep this rabbit hole goes!

Primal. Damus has been a laggy mess for me.

Such a gem, far and away the best new Christmas movie in the past twenty years.
