resisting metadata means @cwtch_im will remain ad-free and sans analytics, developed by the non-profit Open Privacy Research Society so we won't (can't!) sell controlling interest. this is made possible thru independent donations (inc crypto) and patreon: openprivacy.ca/donate/

video games are kind of like if every 5 years you had to buy new glasses to look at the latest paintings in a museum. and then every 8 years they delete the paintings because they stopped making the old glasses. sometimes they repaint the paintings but the vibes are all off now

omg someone actually rebuilt the C++ standard with "behavior is undefined" replaced with "i *will* cry"

reduce inequality! but crypto is too high-risk to expose the poors to. ecofash is a fake idea! but anything that uses as much energy as bitcoin should be illegal. proprietary standards are evil! except for game objects, which belong in corporate silos. i am a leftist

today in #cwtchdev: greatly improving our automated integration/regression testing with @cucumberbdd (visualization thanks to @g_kushang github.com/gkushang/cucumber…). Discreet Log post coming next Friday :)
so far my understanding of the "artificial scarcity" critique is that it's bad/evil if used for nfts but okay if it's for video games, and the key difference is *mumble mumble*
We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. Now the Metaverse is everywhere. It is all around us
Yeeeeeah, I called this about 3-4 years ago and it's a very, very bad idea.

cryptographers will scream about not combining cryptosystems and then insist on tls protection for sending their gpg-encrypted emails
my punditry about cryptocurrency has mostly dissolved into complaining about common fallacies from amongst the discourse, but gg endorsing btc might actually be what it takes to finally convince me otherwise
