I heard a number of Bsky users applauded the death of Charlie Kirk. That is a shameful thing to do. Conflicts should be resolved through peaceful means. Killing someone to win may seem like the ultimate move, but it is not. It makes a martyr of the one who has been eliminated (but not erased).

A tough look at the Bitcoin scam.

"The top 1.86 percent of Bitcoin addresses controlled more than 90 percent of Bitcoin’s supply. By comparison, the top 1 percent of America controls just 31 percent of wealth. How is Bitcoin decentralized, again?"

Truth be told, I've been grieving. My dad passed on last month, and I just couldn't think of how to carry on in the same way as before. To carry on his legacy, to carry on his firm. To lead his people. I have been resting under the shadow of his winds. But now I have to step up. It is time.

UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai: “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”
Vaccine breakthrough means no more chasing strains
Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.

If you want to actually improve tech then focus on making it accessible to everyone regardless of issue. Mobility, vision, auditory, find the needs and make the solution in on all products. That’s improvement. Not fad bullshit So you can charge more.
I used to be a tech enthusiast. I am becoming a tech dethusiast. I don’t want any more tech to buy. I don’t want smart appliances. I don’t want smart pants. I don’t want smart dumbbells.

I just want things that I can buy and that work for 20 years.

february 15th 2024 / a couple years ago I impulse-bought a VR headset on my credit card (excited to be paying for that for decades) and can confirm the most common use case for it is: watching movies while giving yourself neck strain. I promise these aren’t the future

Do you like using command-line tools in your language?
Do you like contributing to open source projects?
Do you like translating technical text?

If this sounds like you, I would love contributions that localize rage (the encryption tool I maintain) into more languages, or update existing languages!

In this coming year
I must conquer my fear
And find that El Dorado
An elusive place
That no one knows
Here is my map
That I will follow
And it will bring me
To where I must go
