I just had a daydream and realized that the next step in pushing digital ID is to use them as an alternative to captchas.

⚡💬 THROWBACK - Discord will require MANDATORY Face ID biometric scanning and ID verification for ALL USERS starting next month.

It’s time to return to the beginning. To a better time when chat apps were just chat apps.

It’s time to return to IRC. https://blossom.primal.net/0062cdc3932911d55eececf91f635b5d0b598d24f1971b32e11365d49203d82f.jpg

Our functional programming course only just this semester switched from Prolog and Gödel to Rust

Added a pause state as well. This is the first time I'm using an object-oriented state machine instead of a switch statement. Something that has been long overdue.

If you want people to stop hating you, telling them to stop hating you while you keep doing the same thing over and over again is definitely going to work.

Ever since the Epstein files have been released, I've seen everyone on the political compass claiming that there ideology has been "vindicated", which means to me that they are once again cherrypicking information that fits their beliefs.

🤔 What is #PeerWeb?

PeerWeb is a revolutionary way to host and share websites using WebTorrent technology. Instead of relying on centralized servers, websites are distributed across a peer-to-peer network, making them censorship-resistant and always available. 🌍✨

You know, it's really sad. It's been years now and the vast majority of people still have no clue what made Bitcoin special in the first place. This was supposed to be a social revolution like the Liberty Dollar was. Local businesses were supposed to be accepting Bitcoin directly and not just using trading services to convert it back to dollars on the fly. When you put your money in a bank, you're basically lending it to the bank and they can do whatever the hell they want with it. We have all had the power to be our own banks for years now and most of us are completely ignoring it. At some point, this just affirms my Christian belief that human beings are not basically good. And now here's the evidence. We get something so powerful and we just use it to build another casino.
