Built a little trading bot to automate my strategies, might still require evaluation but I'm satisfied with the current state so far. github.com/Peng-Protocol/…

I didn't think there were that many Nigerians writing solidity 😧

@rodeo_crypro That's actually a bear case for society, and you're using current limitations to extrapolate future outcomes, LLMs stand to only become more efficient as time goes on.

what if the bull case for society is that ai is so expensive that humans are actually keeper to keep companies afloat in areas where ai is non-essential, then splurge on ai in only EV+ areas

This Is World Tyranny, Not World Liberty Financial — Here's Why This proposal has been packaged as a "governance alignment signal" and a "long-term commitment," but strip away the packaging and what you have is one of the most absurd governance scams I have ever seen. Let me break it down. I. Vote Against and Get Punished — Classic Coercion Tactic This is not a legitimate voting exercise, not even close.  The design of this proposal is a logical trap: anyone who votes against it has their tokens locked indefinitely with no unlock path whatsoever. In other words, if you oppose this proposal, you get punished. This is not voting. This is coercion. What kind of democratic process rewards agreement and imprisons dissent? II. Voters Have Been Selectively Frozen Out I personally hold approximately 4% of the voting power, yet my tokens have been frozen and I am forced out of this voting process. I am not alone. A large number of holders with significant voting rights are in the same position. Meanwhile, the team controls the power to freeze tokens — they decide who can vote and who cannot. What does this mean? It means the outcome was determined before the vote even began. This is not a governance vote. This is a performance where the police have already barricaded the doors of parliament and only let their own people inside to raise their hands. The voter pool has been purged. Only yes votes remain. The result of such a vote carries no binding force whatsoever. III. All Actual Power Has Been Seized by Anonymous Actors The actual control over the WLFI smart contracts lies in the hands of a 3/5 anonymous multisig and a single anonymous guardian EOA has the power to blacklist addresses holding WLFI. Let me emphasize — anonymous. This anonymous multisig can override any vote result and execute any operation directly at the contract level. The so-called governance proposals, on-chain votes, and community discussions are nothing but theater. Real power has never been yielded to anyone but themselves and it’s laughable that they try these tricks to fool the community. The bottom line is this, the power sits with anonymous wallet addresses whose owners nobody knows or can verify. This is not decentralized governance. This is dictatorship wearing the mask of a DAO. IV. Voters Must Identify Themselves, but the Rulers Are Anonymous — Worse Than Tyranny Here is the most ironic part: WLFI requires every participating voter to complete identity verification, electronically sign acknowledgements, and meet compliance eligibility requirements. You want to exercise your rights? Show your face first. But who are the guardian and multisig signers who hold the power of life and death over the contract? Nobody was told and there is absolutely no transparency.  While the governed must identify themselves, the governors with absolute power are anonymous. Your voters must register, submit to scrutiny, and be vetted and dictated how to vote— while your dictators won't even show their faces. V. A Naked Violation of Property Rights Worth Billions of Dollars Let us not forget the real stakes of this proposal: this is not some trivial parameter adjustment or protocol upgrade. This vote seeks to decide the unlock schedule for billions of dollars in assets, the reallocation of governance and vesting rights, and most extreme of all, the permanent destruction of billions of tokens. This is a naked expropriation of holders' property rights. In an environment where voting against the proposal is punished, where large numbers of holders have been frozen out of voting, and where actual control rests with anonymous wallets, using this sham vote to decide the fate of billions of dollars in assets? This is not governance. This is a sham and flies in the face of what this protocol was meant to be. No society governed by the rule of law would permit this. In traditional financial markets, any asset disposition of this scale would require rigorous regulatory review, independent board approval, and minority shareholder protections. Here, a few anonymous wallets get to decide everything. The permanent burning of tokens means holders' property is irreversibly destroyed, no compensation, no recourse, no due process. This has gone far beyond the realm of so-called "decentralized governance." This is a systematic violation of property rights. Conclusion I repeat that this proposal is not governance. It is an exercise of power by the selected few who are carefully engineering a further power consolidation and property expropriation operation. Dissenters are punished for voting no. Opponents are frozen out. Actual control lies with anonymous wallets. Those who exercise their rights must prove their identity while the fate of billions of dollars in assets is decided by a sham vote. This is not what decentralized finance was meant to be, results produced under these sorts of conditions carry no legitimacy, should not have binding force, and should not be recognized. I call on all WLFI holders to see this proposal for what it truly is, to voice their opposition across all public channels, and to reserve all legal rights of recourse.

@EuropeanPirates Always running to the state... Just don't buy the game, or better yet; do some basic reading before mindlessly consuming product.

You bought the game. So why can it just… stop working? On 16.04.2026, Brussels hosts a hearing on “Stop Destroying Videogames.” It’s raising bigger questions about ownership, control, and what players actually pay for. Worth a look: multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreamin…

@rare_jpg Environmental story telling.

I was mildly upset when I read this, but TIL opium was legal in the UK during the first opium war, so from their POV it was insane that the Qing government was destroying their "medicine". That made me laugh.

165 years after British and French troops looted and burned China’s Old Summer Palace — once known as the “Garden of All Gardens” — France has passed a new law simplifying the return of cultural artifacts acquired during its colonial era. The Old Summer Palace spanned over 3.5 square kilometres, nearly five times the size of the Forbidden City. It was a groundbreaking masterpiece that, for the first time in Chinese history, blended traditional Chinese garden design with Western architectural elements. Europeans called it the “Versailles of the East” — a breathtaking harmony of pavilions, lakes, bridges, and gardens that housed an unparalleled collection of 5,000 years of Chinese art, jade, porcelain, silk, and priceless treasures. It took around 4,000 men three days to destroy much of it. What survived the flames was looted, and many of those artifacts remain in museums around the world today. Victor Hugo strongly condemned the destruction. In 1861, he wrote: “One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned… Before history, one of the bandits will be called France and the other England.” He hoped that France would one day return the stolen treasures. As a Chinese, I sincerely welcome this positive step from the French side. Acknowledging and addressing past wrongs can help us build greater understanding and a brighter future together. I also hope this development encourages broader international dialogue on cultural heritage. The British Museum, for example, holds one of the world’s largest collections of Chinese artifacts. It would be wonderful to see more looted relics from that era returned home to their rightful cultural context and to the people they belong to.

@tmnxeq AI chatbots are great for the vast majority of user complaints. But for me they are annoying because they have no real power, nearly all my complaints can only be resolved by management, and almost always involving some large scale architectural change.

"real humans" instead of...AI chatbots neo broker did a 180 on customer service. this is how much people hate AI

@mutange_vin I see you don't know much about biology. Nearly every plant you consume commerically has been "bioengineered" over centuries or millennia. They are almost unrecognizable from their wild counterparts.

Seed is a gift of nature and diverse culture not corporate inventions. Bioengineered seeds bind us to corporate greed. Indeginous seeds carry the history of people on this land. Protect our seed sovergnity.

@willyb631 @OMG_ITS_NDABA No, musk is trying to run a business, and there's nothing "cheap" about starlink either.

@OMG_ITS_NDABA Musk is trying to provide cheap internet for everyone in south africa. this would be a great help to schools, universities, hospitals, libraries, etc. and the best part is the locals couldn't steal it or break it because its up in space!

Elon Musk who has never Built a school in Africa Built a university in Africa Built a hospital in Africa Built a library in Africa Given an African a morsel of bread Suddenly cares about poor black Africans. Don’t make me laugh

@dethective The main strategy is quite solid but I'm trying others that show promise, with the potential to greatly enhance the ROI.

@dethective I'm working on a short selling bot that is extremely effective at catching the exact top of most blow-off tops. Daily ROI is modest (~5% daily) but I still need to collect more operational data, it's still very new.

Stuff like this works perfectly because everyone in crypto thinks they are a genius and will be able to short at the exact top

@Gnobudyspecial @Megalithic12000 Even if you assume this is true, they would still need to quarry the massive rocks, lift them onto the boats, get to their definition, lift the rocks off the boats and place them *standing upright* in precise alignment with celestial bodies.

The idea that they were dragging the stones is where you’re getting confused. That would be an astonishing effort. The quarry’s are uphill and not far from water courses. They only need to be dragged downhill, then floated. If you see the massively deep ditches that surround Avebury, they were naturally flooded at the time of construction, the water table was substantially higher at the time. So the stones could be floated up extremely close to the construction site at Stonehenge. Similarly with the altar stone from the Orcadian basin in Scotland. It wasn’t dragged across the entire country, it was floated. Similar with the sheep and goat bones found near Stonehenge, isotope analysis shows they were raised on the grasses of northern Scotland. They would have been near skeletons if they had been made to walk the entire country. So obviously they were also transported by sea. There’s a lovely example of a Menhir on a peninsula on northern France, apologies but I forget its name. At the time of erection that peninsula was an island, giving perfect evidence that stones were transported by sea.

Something doesn't add up about the 2011 Stonehenge replica built in Western Australia... A team with every modern advantage available needed a 140-tonne crane, power tools, and a quarry less than one kilometre away. It took 10 months and cost millions to replicate just the shape. Meanwhile, the original builders transported 25-tonne sarsens 25 miles and 4-tonne bluestones 150 miles from Wales. 🔹 No wheels, no metal tools, no cranes 🔹 25-tonne sarsens raised vertical by hand 🔹 Solstice alignment still accurate after 4,500 years 🔹 7-tonne lintels balanced on top with mortise joints 🔹 Bluestones hauled 150 miles across land and water The replica copies the form but none of the function. It lacks the acoustic properties identified by Salford University research, and the potential lunar eclipse tracking system in the Aubrey Holes. The modern team with trucks, cranes, and diesel engines could only replicate the shape. What does that say about whoever built the original, supposedly without any of those advantages?

@BaldKnower I've somehow managed to not know who Sabrina Carpenter is up until now.

the is how the ex fortnite KoLs look at me when I ask if they want to join spaces

@SonicEchoes Oh, sorry to hear that, that story is slightly less bad but still awful.

@GenericMage_ Oh no she didn't take them or sell. I sold what was mine. I was too emotionally hurt by it all that I sold a ton of my own stuff. I kept my Dreamcast, Saturn and Genesis consoles and a few games. The little room I am renting has all my belongings. I am living minimalistically :/

I feel deep sadness when I walk into a retro game store and see something I kinda want like Virtual Hydlide and DC Ecco. Most of my #SEGA collection is gone because of my separation/divorce... it's back in circulation in retro games stores and finding new homes.

Made using Gemini but with a lot of re-prompting and editing.

(OC) This would go extremely hard.
