@Pumpfun If you hate this, just like me, here is a thought: one could use this product itself to pay people to annoy/protest/spam it's creators, until they remove it

@DCinvestor Times like these are necessary to shake out the "get rich quick" cohort and build something meaningful. Might be full of uncertainty, but this is when noise is tuned down and exciting experimentation happens.
@defidude@ratspeakorg At least I tried those, cannot say the same about the SDR or the freakin alibaba server fpga but there is hope, unemployment has it's perks
Also looks like a cool project, gonna be following!
Opus 4.8 has the most unpleasant personality, almost feels like ragebait. Just like in the case of a smart but unbearably asshole human, I just don't want to talk to it.
@stephen_yo@JNFTfi@NFTfi Building together with the Nftfi team for the last half decade has been the most impactful professional experience in my life so far with an incredible amount of learning and growing. Thank you, and the whole team for this journey, it's been an honour. 🫡

After six years, NFTfi is winding down.
When I was 20 I had to pick a path in life. Coder or artist? Ultimately I chose coding. When I first heard about NFTs in 2019 I realized I could combine those two paths into a single project, @NFTfi. I was all in.
In the six years since, this project has been my sole focus. In the early days I was the first lender and learnt a number of painful (and expensive) lessons on how to lend against NFTs safely. I still own Founder Kitty #72 that I got in a default for the low, low price of 30 ETH. The Meebit I use as my profile picture was minted in a hospital chair watching my sleeping wife and first born hours after his birth.
Together, we helped pave the way for the NFT lending industry. From doing the first fully trustless on-chain NFT backed loan to facilitating more than $730 million in peer-to-peer loans. Without losing a single NFT. In an industry that often struggled with trust, that's something I'm incredibly proud of.
In the end, the market that made NFTfi possible, became too small to support the company we had built.
What pulled me into this was never the promise of profit. It was the possibility that artists and collectors could truly own the things they cared about. I still believe that matters.
Looking back there are some things I would do differently. However, if I had to go back to 2019, I would do it all again. What we had as a community in that moment will stay with me.
To my co-founders, Jonathan, Mads and Charlotte and the team who built NFTfi, from the first year to the last: you gave years of your lives, your craft, and your belief to this project. You took a chance on an idea that was never guaranteed to work and built something real alongside me. NFTfi only existed because of that. Thank you, and thank you to the community and investors that kept it real alongside us.
All those years ago I chose coding as a path. Six years next to passionate artists and collectors has made me curious about the other side of that path again. Who knows, maybe next time we meet I will be sitting on the artist's side of the table.
Hope to see you in Marfa.
Over the weekend I finished up the final post in my series on the Gemma 4 MTP Drafters.
I've tried to keep it as approachable as possible. If you want to learn the dark magic of running LLM models, this is probably the post you want to read.

Distressed, rugged, and built with attitude from the very first wear.
More than just a hat — it’s a reminder that you’re still standing.
Grab yours before it’s gone.
@julien_c Big time! Last time I went to cyprus during the summer I found it impossible to think. Since then I decided to only go to warm places in the winter and ejoy the perfect Copenhagen summer
You can move on to different things. Years pass, people change and we all want to try something new.
But dont spit on what brought you here or try to tear it down on your way out.
It just makes you look small.
