keep it up dude! remember it’s a physical addiction- the actual paths in the brain have changed- if you can over come something as hard wired as this you can do fucking anything! lfg!

love your work lyn! so giving

Here’s an observation about shitty Twitter algorithms.

I’ve actually never blocked or muted anyone on Twitter. Never felt the need. 690k followers, countless comments, no filters.

If someone is an ass, I tend to just ignore them or akido them and move on.

I just went over to Twitter and checked my notifications. Some guy posted in an unusually negative way in one of my threads. For a brief moment, I was provoked. But then I looked: he has 8,700 posts and 6 followers. Briefly skimming his profile, it is pure negativity. Imagine this. Like actually take a moment to think about what that process feels like for him, let alone how he impacts others.

Posting eight thousand and seven hundred times, mostly negatively, and after well more than a thousand of those posts, someone elects to follow him.

The algorithm trains us to see this and get angry. When he shows up in our feed, he seems like a normal person who disagrees with us. But he’s not normal. Someone like that is literally and sadly more in the mentally ill camp, even as the algorithm presented him to us like any other normal person, saying we suck.

Imagine if we had more programmable filters and algorithms. Like, mute people with over a thousand posts but with less than one follower per five hundred posts. That filters him out, similarly to how we would visually filter out and thus physically avoid a man holding his own shit in his hand in public on a street, who needs help but not public attention and proximity.

The centralized algorithms we have normalized, are not real life.

We give people virtual access that we would not do publicly, partially because we can program our real-life algorithms with various behavior rules that we can’t do on most virtual platforms.

love this lyn!

It’s finally time to say goodbye to Chapter 4 of my evolving one-day-it-will-be-a-real-studio setup.

After the crawlspace became a dried-in concrete basement, I was able to put together a very rough, but functional setup that was good for audio and video. It let me get a taste of what the finished product may enable.

But yesterday we confirmed that the plumbers will be coming in to rework the entire house plumbing, and lift it up between the joists so we have as much head room downstairs as possible. And for the downstairs plumbing we have to drill a couple of big sections out of the slab. Which means it’s about to become a disaster, and everything not in a box needs to be broken down, packed up, and moved out.

So last night, in the rain and while my son was sleeping, I silently began shutting down my entire setup, and even carried my whole desk through the door in the dark without making a sound (I think things are twice as heavy if you are silent while carrying it)

My whole networking system is currently out of operation: My raspberry pi, my Umbrel, My Start9, GLADOS (my Ai Linux machine), my big ass switch, and my downstairs miner are out of commission.

In fact I have tried to zap 3 times today and keep forgetting that nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 is connected to my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll so it starts spinning and after a second I remember,” you idiot your node is down, you can’t zap.” 🤣

This was a really cool setup, but it’s time to finish the basement and finally, FINALLY start putting together the real studio and workshop combo, and getting the first fully realized, permanent home for all of my shows and work.

Partly sad, but also really exciting. It’s closer every day…

i love these real time real life insights- i don’t have property yet but hope to do similar projects like this if i can afford to buy a house in the future

hey man know of anyone having issues starting electr and cpu heating up over 90c degrees?

now to actually using it…
