the one good blockchain is the one that blocks these people for you

I woke up to hundreds of mentions calling me poor this morning, so I’m glad this website is free

And now for our annual Valentine:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Singular they is older
Than singular you.

I particularly enjoyed the one about the fact that there's a *lot* of solar energy (and if we just harnessed all of that, the oceans would freeze and all photoautotrophs would die but we could run bitcoin servers for at least another thousand years)

One of my snarky tweets about bitcoin has been amplified into the bitcoin enthusiast areas of Twitter. Having to consult Urban Dictionary to decipher acronyms in my mentions now ("HFSP")

"Spotify is letting employees work from anywhere — while still paying San Francisco and New York salaries" 😍. This is making Twitter and Facebook look awful with their if-you-move-we'll-dunk-your-pay policy. Same remote-capable work, same pay 👏 https://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-unveils-new-remote-work-option-for-all-employees-2021-2?r=US&IR=T

Tokyo now seems to have craft beer vending machines. First time I've seen one

It costs the haters so many keystrokes to hate. I wonder if they know it takes just a single keystroke for me to delete their comment 🤔

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
If you're not paying,
The product is you.

How us PNW* folks feel rn 😛

Product owners outside of security have spent the longest time prioritizing easy over secure. Even after a breach convincing them to adopt existing best practice is a challenge.

So since the issue really seems to be a need to change minds, not product, how would you go about driving this fundamental change in thinking in product owners across a multitude of verticals?

Today's quake can be understood as an aftershock of the March 11, 2011 magnitude 9.0 -- even 10 years later. Giant earthquakes have very long tails of aftershocks.

I love fediverse/Mastodon as a concept but it really, realllly needs to basically be personal instances or at best, small friend group instances for it to actually like, not go to complete shit. Cos even niche interest instances can have collosal amounts of issues and drama.

All MAX and bus service has been canceled until further notice due to hazardous winter weather conditions. Please do not travel, unless for emergencies.

My company uses your company. I have one password, don't use a password manager, and can access every service I need to do my job, and I can do that extremely securely.
