Sounds ominous.

I would love to contribute to one of these wallets, but I don't know any mobile stacks. Plus imposter syndrome.

Seems like a smear campaign. Headline says "promised" to make Jack seem like someone who doesn't stick to his word. In the article another "source" say he planned to. Maybe he simply changed his mind?

"Jack renegs on promise"

vs

"Jacks plans to donate fall through"

Headlines are designed to train you to have a specific emotional response that the author wants you to have.

Either above could have been used and been true, but they chose the former

The media can't be trusted.

I've been sleeping on this. I think this is in large part because the kind of goals you are encouraged to set or seek—like some many other things in modernity—are kind of warped. Additionally people are not really trained or encouraged to think and reflect on what is truly best for themselves—more cynically maybe many simply do not have this ability.

Modern society says "Get an education, Buy a house, live the American Dream" (if you're in the US) as if these things are universal things that are garunteed to give everyone fulfillment. It's all based on the notion that people are the same (i.e. equal). Turns out people are not the same, across almost any axis.

People have different strengths, different weaknesses. The things that will give them meaning and fulfillment are different. A Billionaire will be driven by different forces than someone in the middle class, the lower class, or under class. Some people are driven to achieve, some to earn money, others by power, other still to live a life of purely seeking pleasure. They should be allowed to do so. It is a mistake to try to put everyone in the same box, to desire the same things, or to think the same, or even speak the same. They should be allowed to be what they are and they should not be changed to be something they are not.

For myself: I wanted a nice car, to own a home, to earn a really good salary. I have done all of those things, and while it did feel good for a time, they were ultimately empty achievements for me. In hindsight, I often wonder if I would have been happier if I had become a carpenter and started a family young instead. Maybe not. I can't change the past, I am where I am.

For any young person reading this: Don't be in a rush to do what everyone else is doing. Don't be in a rush to do what society says is good for you. You have to decide that for yourself. Whatever path you choose, seek to be excellent in it no matter what it is.

Damn dude, I thought you were just running a projector and some speakers. You have the whole kit and caboodle.

PWAs are sweet. Generally speaking I would still prefer native apps. But PWAs are still very cool, I would like to see one that uses WASM .

One of the things I miss about where I am from is that it was a hockey town. Hockey is so underrated.

I've been using jetbrains products because of my job, it's been steadily growing on me. Whenever I do solo dev work I just nvim, but if I am honest I like having a lot of the features an IDE provides. But at the same time I feel like their is less privacy.

I didn't want to name names

it's always fun to encounter a crazy person in the wild. like the high functioning types.

Yes, all the time. Pretty much each epoch of my life I have experienced this in some form.

Mute midwits.

Bitcoin is still untested too.
