Hey, I'm not going to be posting here anymore. Will eventually delete this account, but I'm on bsky (same nick) and moved to a larger Mastodon instance https://t.co/hpz7FBIvIq

Take care of yourselves, and each other.

@InternetMoneyio is there any plan on adding additional liquidity for TIME/PLS at some point? I'm a big believer in the ecosystem but it looks like there's only about 20K of wiggle room in terms of liquidity.

Oh dear, I accidentally logged into LinkedIn. Won't make that mistake again for awhile.

New blog post: I'm between articles right now, but here's what I'm thinking about (spoilers, it's bad smartphones)

@ChaaluAapu Oh that's cool, thank you! Always nice to hear if something I did may have made someone's day a little bit better. Enjoy!

Dear #lazyweb, as a smartphone hopper I'd like to finally pick a 2nd line type app. My aim isn't privacy, just ease of use, to run an (android) app for 1 phone# on voice/SIP and SMS/MMS on a few phones simultaneously. Ideally I could port a # to it.

Why do the SMS messages from @cvspharmacy have to say "PLEASE RESPOND" in all caps about my script refill, which I'm sorry are NOT the highest priority thing? It's so irritating that I always just reply no.

I do not need my pharmacy sending me shouty caps while trying to work.

Just think, in a few days we will be over all this pointless point-scoring and outrage about the election!

Then we'll be back to pointless point-scoring and outrage about things like how people spend their money, and Twitter itself. No, I'll never call it X.

@lonseidman It's meh. But given that when I search for e.g. "Linux" in a product's reviews, and half the reviews say "it doesn't work" and half say "it works out of the box" I'm not sure what an AI is supposed to do. So it just does what AI does best, and hallucinates an answer.

@MarkHamill @TimothyDSnyder First time I've ever visited a Ukraine TLD (top level domain) website - and donating so it wont be the last!

@lonseidman With Linux nothing is obsolete.

[Chris Allegretta @chrisallegretta]

@lonseidman "best" could mean anything though. How about best in terms of most unfixed poles.

[Chris Allegretta @chrisallegretta]

@lonseidman Not just convicted, just accused? This seems like a VERY bad idea.

[Chris Allegretta @chrisallegretta]

Crypto lobbying has accelerated astronomically this cycle, this is not going to be a left vs right issue soon. IMO best thing folks can be doing is a) making strong arguments for crypto and b) not alienating folks who happen to vote for a different party, since we are stuck in the Coke vs Pepsi system.

@SecurityTrybe I can't even make cabling on a 4 port switch look this good 🤣

[Chris Allegretta @chrisallegretta]

@lonseidman Nice vid Lon. That was a great stream, chat was super involved and helpful.

[Chris Allegretta @chrisallegretta]

@lonseidman Good thing it's not a Google branded product, or there would be a high risk they would cancel it the same day it arrives in your doorstep.
