Disagree. Its a terrible store of value with a long history of lost money and hacks. For remittanvmce it does have its uses, but as many others have mentioned in practice those uses are for tax avoidance.

Bitcoin was built to be cash and it succeeded at that in the beginning. Until nobody used it. Bitcoin as an idea was practically dead by 2015.

Bitcoin was meant to be cash and an antidote to crony finance. Instead, it became yet another mechanism for the financial world to abuse. I'd say thats a pretty heavy failure by any measure.

For me bitcoin opened up the idea that we could maybe do money better. That idea still lives, but not in practice. Yet.

I have the same experience with 2 phones. Can't imagine having one phone anymore. No risk of screen damage either..

I'm making a winamp clone in the tui. Using a mouse in that scenario makes perfect sense. Using a phone touch screen - even more.

We are reaching the point where a terminal tui is a viable and even sensible alternative for certain apps.

Jensen : Nobody needs to code anymore...

Programmer: OpenDLSS...

Jensen : Wait. Not like that! (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻

I'm sick of cutesy avatars in products. I don't want to converse with a purple triangle, a cloud or a dot.

Where are the Klingon avatars?

I don't think its important. I think these comments are more annoying than ai prose. You are fighting a losing battle and annoying everyone in the process. Adapt.

The desktop is a solved problem. Now we are moving into the era of agents using the mouse and keyboard and interacting with the windows manager.

When I see stuff like this, I think it's clear that Linux is not going to be part of that era outside of the CLI. The Linux desktop is never going to recover from this.

Gnome and KDE just keep messing. That's why I stuck to openbox/labwc.

Because, these are not solving problems they are inventing them. Everything that makes Linux great, simply hasn't translated to the desktop GUI. And I can see that will not change. Sure there are things like Niri and thats cool, but for agent use. It's redundant.

We are done with desktops. They will be handed off to ai. Humans will use them less and less. Because they will have better things to do. And likely better interactions. After all a mouse and keyboard while I still prefer it over voice, is still from an era where that was the best we had.

Now, I actually think I prefer tmux in a terminal on my phone on a software keyboard. Over a desktop with mouse and keyboard. As clunky as it is. Because I can use that anywhere, anytime to talk to agents.

I found that setting a two minute timer and running up and down a stair case with high intensity once per day can resolve a whole host of seemingly unrelated issues.

I have a late ADHD diagnosis. For years I tracked my habits. I read get shit done and many habit books in my 20s. I obsessed over my tracking, believing on some level it would elevate my life.

Around 5 years ago, during covid I stopped. Looking back I can comfortably say that habit tracking caused me considerable distress and the benefits are mostly not there.

I now use obsidian and a digital peice of paper style. I use lists that have no timing or deadlines of any kind. When I am able, I pickup the list and do something.

This still causes me distress but the low effort, low maintainability method I find is just as effective and considerably reduces self punishment.

I also apply the same low effort style to journalling (also in obsidian). Journal entries are 'if I am motivated'.

After 20 years I found the best journal entries have 3 questions:

1. What's not going well

2. What's going well

3. What one thing will make a difference today

I didn't know this link. But, I immediately read Hitler when I saw it. Coming back days later... Nope brain still reads Hitler.

It's a terrible choice of name

I'm currently building a winamp clone that works over ssh, using textual. So I'll have to hard disagree

NP;DR

(Newsletter popup,. Didn't read)

I often speak to people online who look at society and want to tear it down and start again. I've never understood that attitude.

Growth out of decay takes work, but it takes considerably less work than accelerated decay and then trying to start again when there is nothing fertile left to build on.

I like this article because it demonstrates that there is always fertile land and opportunities where people are not looking.
