govts print infinite money. All of us are working for free. Their fiat is credits for the company store.

If you think funding projects is bad then the response is to support lobbying project owners to put in malware until FOSS is publically funded.

All we have to do is verbally support it. And cheerlead when it occurs. We don’t actually have to actively do it. It’s a threat which is done in politics all the time.

Step 1: all software has to be open source

Step 2: governments, required by law, to fund FOSS projects in their tech stacks. Helped by organizations which trace project funding and lobbying to promote FOSS security by providing funding; a huge incentive to not insert malware

Step 3: coders are afforded dignity (UBI); given funds geared towards affording a maintenance team. Regardless of country of origin. Vital infrastructure is vital infrastructure. Talent is talent.

I support this move to Step 1

Where is the list of pauper gov’ts which force talent to get a job rather than be a talent and then maintain their projects with dignity!

Those jobs are mostly nonsense. Geared towards wasting our time building:

• yet another stupid web site

• yet another stupid smartphone app

• yet another stupid cloud base server instance

Have never listened to a podcast

Don’t have a dog to walk and capable of remote work so not driving

Prefer coding over passive content consumption

Cue reality as R&D vs actually getting products to market are two HUGELY different things

All 99.99999% of science PR, will never be heard from again.

I live for cringe!

Dead Snow I was sad.

Dead Snow II i’m still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!

But if you can’t appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed

pirate: My dreams concern ccy off ramps. Remote work is our future.

At all costs, never ever answer any kyc/aml questions:

• What’s your name?
• How old are you?
• What country are you from?
• Where do you live?
• Can i have your phone number?

The truth is vastly overrated concept.

openssl rand -hex 20 <-- memorize this. Adjusting integer affects output length. Try it now. Now try is 20 times in a row. This is your name and password generator. My name is a71fe7b7ec46e0ae0a191004509af262cb2bbe99

Outing your identity has HUGE financial and legal repercussions. Not outting your own identity saves on: stress, time, filling out forms, and you can keep your income and house (a motel is insurance). There will be fees to be paid to ccy off ramps, but they are nothing in comparison.

If anyone insists, insist they give you their credit card. Then keep it. This is an important life lesson. Anyone can be de-systemed. And as soon as you internalize that … the better. If you are not de-systemed, consider yourself de-systemed. Plan accordingly. I know folks who are de-systemed.

Make a telegram group for onboarding. Create invite links as needed. Then no need to exchange phone numbers. I’m ok with Russia viewing my communications. In fact, that’s hilarious. Could use e2e encryption. Boris is busy anyway.

If you talk about coding always, you’ll become immune to censorship. Normies brains cannot withstand such punishment. They’ll find someone else to censor.

HVAC: mini splits

black mold forms and causes breathing problems. Clean aircons (air conditioner) every 6 months - 1 year.

If water is dripping from the outside unit, your aircon is lacking gas. Making it into a giant fan.

A mini-split is chosen to meet the needs for one room. Some folks, and can’t be convinced otherwise, think an aircon can cover the entire universe. And to prove it, they leave all the doors open.

This is proof we live in the matrix. It’s completely unsolvable issue without self closing doors

duckcuckgo is obsolete. Use searx.space

this is shamelessly spreading FUD. The XZ issue has been resolved and was resolved very quickly. The author is a hero.

Lets repeat this a few hundred more times. A clock and a gold fish are going to have a better trading records than you can ever hope for.

Any country the US sets up a pier near, will have no choice but to deal with the local government. In no universe, will that not be the case.

If not, that pier is Israeli territory! They can land troops there and just say, Thank you!. And there is not much the US could do.

So cooperation with Israel is key to making this precedent work. Might be quite the show watching the US try to do humble

No problem. Dump them into Libyan slave markets.

This will free up the pier for more able bodied workers, err i mean, refugees.

Think about beauty of it. The Barbary Pirates of North Africa were targeting US trade during Thomas Jefferson term in office. Forcing the formation of the US Navy.

The US can get back to being ol’ friends with them.

And come back history wise full circle

Can see the Egyptian POV.

These refugees previously were politically destabilizing Egypt from within. They don’t want a repeat of that.

The US is a 3rd party. If Israel deported them it would be a war crime. If the US accepts them onto that pier, it’s not.

Solves Egypt and Israel mutual problem.

The US could then push them into Canada. If anything bad happened there, it would be an improvement over the status quo.
