I’m not saying that governments are the most trustworthy institutions in the world, but as someone who tried to be an early adopter of blockchain from both a tech and a financial perspective, I immediately assume that anything that has the word “crypto” in it is deeply flawed and inherently untrustworthy. I’ve unfortunately learned this from experience.

I trust governments with fiat currency a hell of a lot more than I trust anything that has to do with crypto.

For me it’s the sensory of the hot water, breathing in the steam, and having a place to be alone. My life is wall-to-wall tasking these days…being a parent with ADHD who has a toddler and a type-A personality partner who loves to delegate tasks is existentially exhausting.

“Be Evil”

Taking the insanely massive emissions of the AI industry, it may not be genocide in the traditional sense, but it’s contributions alone will lead to people dying

I live in Canada and have stopped storing any data in the US. Give me EU data hosting ALL DAY.

From the perspective of someone who has been on Lemmy for a few years now, I’ll say that the amount of content here has become large enough for me to use Lemmy as a “daily driver” account. I don’t miss out on important news or updates by using Lemmy instead of Reddit…in fact it often feels quite the opposite

At least the driver was kind enough to drive it to Musk’s assistant’s place of business.

I can think of one way to get rid of it. Saw it on the news last week. He’s probably not going to like it.

Damn, I can see that being a really incredible tool for us. Do you mind if I ask which note app you use?

This is a really good idea

It must be nice to live in a country that is capable of building things other than highways and single-family home suburban developments.

COVID is leaving people dead…and long COVID is definitely a thing as well.

Trump will let this go through and behind the scenes force a deal where X buys Chrome

The butterfly logo is one of the greatest things about that company, especially after Bad Man #2 decided to kill the beautiful bird logo. What an absolute waste that was.

Its true, but we do also have a proven base of both users and experienced admins that has proven to be resilient and self-sustaining even in the world where the winds of capitalism or VC money aren’t throttling growth.

Its always a risk putting your faith into a single person, but Dan is the same guy who built Pixelfed. He’s a Fediverse OG, literally the exact opposite of a grifter. Trusting him is a risk for sure, but I can’t think of many other developers I’d trust more than him (at least in terms of his intentions and determination… I’m not a skilled dev so I can’t speak to whether he actually does good work, but Pixelfed seems incredibly legit given the limited resources he’s worked with)
