I talk all the time to artists who say “I just want to support my work, and it seems like there’s an audience.” or individuals who say “I found a nice, welcoming community that’s having fun talking about art and tech.” Those are reasonable views. And we should engage with them.

I think one of the hugest things web3 people seem to be confused about is that somehow building systems that expect less trust will fundamentally fix problems of trust – it's a nihilist approach to systems engineering that speaks more to their psychology than any sound theory

If there's a "thing" you can point to and there's global consensus about it, it's centralized. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules, just stating scientific facts.

True decentralization doesn't involve a conceptually centralized blockchain, change my mind.

Game programmers: My code takes over a millisecond to execute. I am a failure and have dishonored my family.

Other programmers: lol this hash function makes a web call who knew?

I was completely happy with my income until a friend told me that if you fly on private jets you don't have to go through the airport or TSA. They just drive you right to the plane door. Welp, back to work 😭

Alright, I'm officially over #Log4J.

Not saying anything in my org is patched.

Just saying I'm done worrying about it & am moving on w/my life.

Y'all need to stop living in fear.

Just accept that exploits happen & if it's your company's time to be breached, it's their time.

To my friends battling #log4j and trying to explain this shit to the CEO and customers while also working overtime to patchpatchpatch, we all owe you a drink at the next con.

I'm getting questions if curl or libcurl are vulnerable to the log4j CVEs.

Clearly not even users and customers quite understand software stacks.

Fully agree with this point. There is so much prior art about decentralization being ignored. But most of the fediverse/indieweb folks I see have not engaged with decentralization fans to say "we've got stuff that's better/cheaper/already works".

Literally just give me money and I'll draw things for you. It's not that complicated.

The "O" in "SFO" stands for "omfg I can't believe I'm having to defend and explain something like this- get a hobby, and at least do a sensible Google/Bing search before you correct me on Twitter like a jester in town square for all to see" 🃏🤡

SSI har lavet deres første beregninger for fremskrivningen af omikrons udvikling i Danmark. OBS: Beregningerne er fortsat behæftet med stor usikkerhed. Men de giver en indikation af, hvilken tid vi går i møde. Her er en graf, der tydeligt beskriver… TRÅD

Since there seems to be growing confusion on this: I have nothing to do with anything that FB is up to involving the Metaverse, other than the obvious fact that they're using a term I coined in Snow Crash. There has been zero communication between me and FB & no biz relationship.

Dang. You could put an Aputure 600x on there and simulate the sun setting over and over in Timelapse (with color temperature changing) while filming your character in real time
