Thoughts and prayers for the next CEO to not get Grok-blocked.

Thankfully, Linda Yaccarino’s Golden Parachute worked perfectly fine.

Amazon drivers just got a substantial upgrade from Bezos.

My boyfriend. But you wouldn’t know him. He goes to a different social media space.

It’s possible that he will likely be a Bastard, too.

ACAB

The good news: He can park wherever he wants.

The bad news: His brainwaves reveal a specific pattern indicating he will grow up protecting the rich, monopolising violence, and may develop an unhealthy appetite for oppression. It’s possible that he will likely be a Bastard, too.

Yep, this exactly. They can never clock out at the end of the day. It isn’t 8 hours of work and you’re done. You’re having to constantly try to innovate. Make tons of content, spend so much time editing, constant filming, constant planning. And if you deviate in your schedule, or upload some content that isn’t interesting, the algorithm punishes you and you may even get people that unsubscribe.

Must be hell when you can’t afford to take a vacation from that content creator life. Can never really “switch off”. Plus the fact that less than 1% actually make it big, and it’s mostly based on luck plus years and years of determination.

Got it, thanks for that distinction. It’s been years since I last looked into this stuff. Makes sense for a dormant wallet.

If a wallet is not dormant in this scenario, then active users could just migrate their wallet to another wallet and then they’ll be good to go.

I hear this a lot but I don’t put any confidence behind it. This argument suggests that one day we’ll be able to brute force into lost wallets when we can break the encryption. Who knows how far in the future that will be.

But if I recall correctly, Bitcoin’s protocol is consensus driven. If there is an imminent threat of quantum computing, the developers could just improve the code base to resist it. Or fork the protocol to one that is resistant (Bitcoin 2). Then it’s up to 51% of the Bitcoin node operators to adopt the protocol. As soon as 51% of them upgrades, you immediately stop the threat.

I think the only reason Bitcoin is around is for two reasons: speculation, or the persons that actually believe it’s decentralised hard money free from control. I’d like to believe that there are a ton of people out there that run the BTC nodes to keep it decentralised. If there is an update that will resist quantum computing, I’m sure they’ll be eager to immediately upgrade their nodes and secure the network and those wallets. At least that’s how I believe it works, it’s been years since I first began researching it.

As an aside, Bitcoin isn’t for me because I hate the environment impact. I hope one day it will become green, because it’s never going to go away. But I don’t blame the people that believe in it. In a world where the rich own everything and control the rules, these people are trying to opt out I guess - use a form of money that can’t be easily controlled or censored. Granted it’s all based on speculation, and whenever we run out of Bitcoin is probably when the system will become useless. Spending is discouraged when you run out of coins, so I don’t know how the Bitcoiners defend that argument. So definitely not for me.

Edit, on mobile so fixed some typos and clarified the 51% attack.

Totally agree! If they came back I’d immediately hang up if I heard some annoying ass song instead of a phone ringing.

But a young me really liked them and bought a few!

LG Chocolate! I had the white one. It did everything I needed, supported custom ringtones, had paid ring back tones (remember those?), played music, etc. The best thing was being able to text with one hand while not having to look at what you’re typing. Hopefully it’s not nostalgia affecting me with this phone, but it ran flawlessly for years before I eventually upgraded to a Motorola Droid back in the day.

I miss fun phones. I can either have a folding slab, a black slab, or a different slab that comes in other colours. 🥲

Loved my Lumia 920 back in the day. A phenomenal phone featuring a fun user experience with the Live Tiles. It was a great phone if you didn’t like apps.

We’re like a family here. When you need help, we support each other. In this case, we support the floors.

Add Hades in this list, too. Incredible game with so much love poured into it.

I switched to Linux last year. I’m just a teacher but I’ve got pretty good techy skills having grown up in the late 80s with computers. Switching to Linux gave me some small problems at first, but everything works just fine for me. My husband’s been pretty curious seeing me have fun with it and mess around on my computer more. Maybe I’ll get him to switch one day too! 🙃

A god-like alien that is faster than a speeding bullet should be able to easily dodge Batman poon.

The actor who played Oscar in The Office also was in The Italian Job (Marc Walberg, Charlize Theron). He was the security guard for the rich guy (Edward Norton) and said maybe two lines while checking ID.

They’re stronger than Old Cheese

My what long fingers you have! And hallucinogenic text!

I know what you mean.

She knows what she’s doing.
