Last Notes
I'm torn between it definitely does because landlords never maintain their shit and it definitely doesn't because HVAC techs are too lazy to troubleshoot and get sales commissions now so they think $10k HVAC systems are disposable.
Only had 1 farm in my family but I made most of my childhood cash on a Ford 4000, in a feed barn, or in a field throwing hay.
Never knew there was a video for this
I can get two lunches out of one order at this place. Worth it.
At first I was like "I should check out the new kimi model"
Then I realized the American government isn't competent enough to target the best models so it is probably fine to fully disregard.
Using a GrapheneOS tablet as the goto "computer" for now. Kid profile with whitelisted apps and content.
Xteink x4 is a great little dumb e-reader once you load crosspoint on it. Side loaded no DRM epubs only. I didn't enable network and it doesn't do any ads or recommendations if I did.
Piracy makes total control of their media consumption easy. There is only one source of content and content only arrives there if I put it there.
A 20 year old unit is on outdated refrigerant that is getting extremely expensive due to EPA stuff.
Damn shame it came due before r290 is properly approved (unless you are in Europe where it already is) and available. It is far more efficient.
The ultimate game to win, and is very relevant to nostr, is not the win that "beats out the opponent"
The ultimate win, is when whoever identifies as "the other side" realizes there's nothing to beat, and that no one is _trying_ to beat them out.
"You were always welcome to play with us, but you chose to play by yourself. And that's always fine, there's never anything wrong with that if you don't like the rules. You are always welcome play your game with your own rules. But you know, it'd be a more exciting and fun game if we're all playing together."
Always a negotiation of what the conditions are. The negotiation evolves the game, it brings more players. Always some prodding and pushback, competitive banter, but always trying to bring more players, regardless of the alliance.
If it were The Final Game to win, maybe. Maybe you'd push for your side to win, and the other to lose at any and all costs, for the other side's destruction. But At All Cost games reduce and simplify ecosystems, they create monocultures by definition, and reduce robustness.
This isn't The Final Game, with finite outcomes. It's an Infinite game, just as serious. But the purpose is to keep the infinite game continuing, not to win and then end. You can win smaller, semi-high stakes games/tournaments within an infinite game, of course. But they're still in service of the larger game's continuation and evolution, and never as serious.
Whoever approved the CnB pouch in men's underwear deserves an OTPHJ every day for life.
And I have read through the article you mentioned.
To me it seems a very overstated opinion that is written there. There is no reference to code-changes, which support the allegations. And the article is from 2021. So when there is substance with this article, it would be easy to give evidence in malicious forged code.
But Firefox is very clearly the goat in user-centric web browsing, to defend from tracking and advertisement. Tracking can be clearly shown, since Firefox has many masking mechanisms implemented, that come from Tor-Browser. And through upholding Manifest V2, uBlockOrigin can block trackers more effectively:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock mentions clearly, for this extension to work best with Firefox.
Also Firefox has no revenue based on tracking user behavior and selling those, while most gains of Google are from tracking users and selling advertisement space targeting those. Therefore I feel Firefox clearly has better track record and better incentives to defend users interest.
That gets back to why nostr when I do spend time on social media. No other platform makes it easier to engage with and reward the people who post more rarely but higher effort higher quality content.
