Israel just moved its northern border 30 miles into Lebanon, annexing 10% of the country, displacing over a million people who have been told they won't be allowed to return, while Jewish settlers plan on moving in. The international community, and the UN does sweet fuck all. WTAF ?

The future of identity in radicle.xyz - a sneak peak #radicle #decentralized #identity

I've been quite on the fence about using AI for my work, but there is one benefit I am seeing. Since I work remote, which can be quite isolating, it is a nice rubber duck to talk to when I get stuck in thought trying to implement something. I've gotten some good insights in my latest problem.

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

This story lives rent free in my head

Hello Bluesky 👋 Over the last few years, Radicle has primarily maintained a social presence on Twitter. Now that we are in Radicle 1.0's release candidate phase, we are expanding to realms with technical ideals closer to our own, such as decentralization, censorship-resistance, & data sovereignty.

Disruption idea: when you're put on hold, instead of the shitty music the company uses, it will playback your Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever music streaming du jour you use instead.

Long shot, but is anyone familiar with the MIDI spec? I want to explore the data format and if it could be defined in a way that can be diff'd -- akin to Git for lines and files. Perhaps even some kind of CRDT representation.. 👀

Same same but different 🇮🇪➡️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey bluesky 👋 Maybe I'll use this to promote some creative endeavours on my side ☺️ https://fintohaps.bandcamp.com/track/swimming
