Elon Musk’s BRUTALLY HONEST New Interview At World Government Summit(MUST WATCH) - YouTube

@shreyan@twtxt.net That’s a really good question. I would love it if I could say have a mutual exchange with another person in exchange for some goods or services, and have that recorded, signed and attested by each other in our own “books”. No stupid blockchain or mining or centralised bank ledger. Just an agreement between two or more persons.

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com And what was the TL;DR of the lessons? 😆

@adi@twtxt.net How do you define those terms?

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Bahahahaha 🤣

when law-enforcement officers brutallly beat someone to death or take out a fireman and shoot them, I have every reason to be afraid of law-enforcement!

Yeah I thought so too 👌 Did not even know any of this so that’s also nice to learn something new 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Frankly, the notion of decentralized social systems that we tout that are actually mostly distributed networking systems horrifies me 🤣

@stigatle@twtxt.net To be honest I’m not completely sure at this point. I think the discussion has died down now. so is it decision time? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net Agree with the l lack of competition 👌

@stigatle@twtxt.net Haha nice 👌

The Fastest Animals Are Way Faster Than You Think - YouTube This is actually very interesting 👌 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwhPy6Kgyxs

@adi@twtxt.net

That’s the problem, people saw cryptocurrencies as way to make money quick (classic money making problem), it’s not that the idea of cryptocurrency is a Ponzi scheme, is that people are using it to engineer Ponzi schemes or do fraud with it as they do with fiat money.

I think you are confusing the idea of a blockchain, a distributed leger. That idea has its merits, btu, and I stress but in reality it also has its own sets of problems too.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I want people that can code/program 🤣

Go Testing - HedgeDoc

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yup 💯

I don’t think there’s that many people left in the industry that truly know how to “program” anymore. it’s just cobbling “cloud native this” and “cloud saas that” and wiring shitt together 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I feel like all big-tech companies pretty much do this as their general “business strategy”. Build a bunch of SaaS products, market the crap out of it, sell it at a loss, train people how to use it, lock ‘em in till they have no choice but to use your shit™

@mckinley@twtxt.net Interesting 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I realy wish this whole thing (cryptocurrency) was actually truly more decentralised. But it’s not 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci LOL 😆 It’s a little baby snake that ended up in our oool 🤣

@adi@twtxt.net Sadly I know nothing about holding cryptocurrency or having digital wallets. I have no need for really.

@adi@twtxt.net Why do you need to run a daemon / node just for a digital wallet?! 🤦‍♂️

@adi@twtxt.net Don’t run a Bitcoin node? 🤔

@adi@twtxt.net How is an institition different from a few powerful players that control >50% of the network? 🤔

Imagine having this wrapped around your head 😱

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Haha clickbait bullshit headlines 🤣 So much hype! 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Exactly! 💯

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci What’d he get suspended for? 🤔

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yes please!

Such bullshit really. I mean are we (the general public) going to start having to negotiate with news publishers when we link to their stories on our self-hosted Twtxt feeds?! 🤦‍♂️

@adi@twtxt.net Yes of course, but that wasn’t my point. See also: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/92013/does-every-node-have-a-whole-copy-of-the-blockchain

It is a distributed network. Not decentralized.

@adi@twtxt.net No not quite. The transaction verification process is just how the network works to validate the chains that end up in the ledger and which chains to consider. It’s all based on Proof of Work (PoW) which suffers from the 51% problem.

it’s very much a distributed network, but you are essentially centralizing the storage of transactions, the so-called block chain, ledger, onto infrastructure and computers that aren’t yours or in your control.

I like this music! 👌

@adi@twtxt.net remember, there is a distinct difference between being decentralized and distributed network.

cryptocurrencies are not decentralized, they are a very complex distributor network.

The only part that you could remotely consider decentralized are your private keys (du’h)

@adi@twtxt.net What work would you be doing? mkws?

@adi@twtxt.net Sure but that’s not that important here

@adi@twtxt.net How do you like the new shiny zs 😆 https://git.mills.io/prologic/zs

@adi@twtxt.net Oh that! It’s a standing desk, I can raise and lower it

@adi@twtxt.net My desk!

@adi@twtxt.net A wooden coaster my daughter made and hand painted 👌

@adi@twtxt.net Like this some? 😆

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Very cool shots 😱

@pratikbaid3@twtxt.net Haha 😆 Hi 👋

I think the web is doing it correctly 😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah originally my idea to support Activity Pub in the first place was an external briding service that yarnd would integrate with (opt-in) and you could spin this bridging service up just like the feeds service (if you car eot run your own).

You have more value in your life than you realize, you’ve just been looking in the wrong direction. - YouTube

@darch@neotxt.dk It’s not very nice to make fun of people 😅 Elon might come and hunt us down and ban our freedom of speech 😱 🤣

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Thanks 🙏 I’ll put you down as “indifferent somewhat” 🤷‍♂️

@darch@neotxt.dk I think I’m missing something here… Why/Who is “Space Karen” Are we just making fun of Elon now? 🤣
