@DanKulkov Being bored is a superpower. 💪🏼 I’ve had the best ideas when I didn’t have much on my mind.

> get bored > as a joke buy domain "dan recommends" > forget about it > one day get bored again > vibe-code a simple website in 2 hours > put a stripe payment link > 2 weeks later > $441 in revenue i learned my lesson

@vikrantnyc There are mentally ill people everywhere in the crypto space. Some people you just can’t have a normal discussion with and they resort to name-calling, racial slurs, antisemitic stuff etcetera. It’s especially bad when they are in a position of power. What does he accuse you of?

So I've gotten myself officially banned from the zcash telegram group, reddit, and zcash forums. I know I know, it's not the zcash community as a whole it's just one idiot mod/admin with severe mental illness.

@evilduck92 @TheRooster The only trouble I have is to get software I use for my professional work to run on linux. I’m not that experience with using Wine yet, still have to find some good tutorials on it. Until then I’ll have to dual boot my pc. UX wise I like Linux 10 times better.

Steam works great on Linux. Steam themselves ships Linux based gaming devices, and they are awesome. Windows has been trash for a long long time now. I'm really not sure why anyone kept with it after Vista, but here we are. I guess people like the abuse. Keep using it and you deserve what you get. It's a choice.

Windows is the worst digital product in today’s world. Bloated, inconsistent, unreliable. It’s crazy how we gamers have no other choice because there isn’t any viable alternative.

@bernhard_me @steipete @openclaw Haha nice. I was joking. It’s amazing how easy it is to build nice things. Even a kid can do it with little instructions. My kids build their own games which made me fell of my chair. We are so early.

@247bas @steipete @openclaw No I have an app for that. 😄 But that groceries list there actually helps. Also it now only shows at certain times

I’m honestly surprised that this was so simple. For a long time, I wanted to make a little dashboard on the monitor in the living room or a screen in the kitchen. I asked @openclaw, which is running on a VPS, to create such a dashboard that I can access on my television. I had this idea in the morning. While doing other stuff I asked openclaw through telegram to do it and make some modifications. Now I got the time to execute the script that it gave me. I am looking at my television and it’s working. I’m looking at this. 🤯 How? I wanted to do that for such a long time and now it just worked that easy. Holy Lobster. Thank you @steipete

@burkeholland Vibe coding is being the manager of the one that’s doing the coding/programming.

Vibe coding is not programming. I don't know what to call it, but it's definitely not programming.

@TheDesertLynx @SmileyGnome @KauriHero @ErikVoorhees And NanoGPT even accepts the Venice ai token. What disappoints me every time I see nice privacy projects like Venice is that they only have non-private ways to pay the subscription fee. When it’s so easy to directly accept the top 10 privacy coins. NanoGPT > Venice ai

@SmileyGnome @KauriHero @ErikVoorhees Real everything. With NanoGPT I can simply send a wide variety of cryptos just by sending to an address/QR code. Coinbase Commerce isn't real "accept crypto"

Venice now processing 20 billion LLM tokens daily

@vikrantnyc Let’s talk about the moment we saw BTC break 100k support during BTC Amsterdam 2025. It felt more like ZEC Amsterdam anyway.

What the heck are we going to talk about at all these Bitcoin conferences we have signed up for?

@Bricktop_NAFO It’s lonely at the top. When your head is full of ideas to build things most people can’t wrap their heads around and you’re not into the usual small talk nonsense your best option is to take a sip of water and chill with yourself.

No words

@heyshrutimishra I think I’ll become a plumber or something. Or does Anthrophic have a plugin for that too?

HOLY SHIT Anthropic Just Triggered a $285B Market Crash 😳 Bloomberg just reported that Anthropic released a new AI tool that caused: 󠁯•󠁏 $285 billion wiped out across software, finance, and asset management stocks 󠁯•󠁏 6% drop in Goldman's software basket (biggest since April) 󠁯•󠁏 7% crash in financial services index 󠁯•󠁏 Nasdaq down 2.4% at its worst This is MASSIVE. The market literally panicked over an AI automation tool. If you work in software, legal, or IT services, this changes everything. You just don't know it yet. On Jan 30, Anthropic quietly released 11 plugins for Claude Cowork. Not a new model , but plugins. But these plugins don't work inside your software. They replace it entirely. things like financial modeling & sales workflows, which lead to; 󠁯•󠁏 RELX (LexisNexis): -14% 󠁯•󠁏 Infosys: -7% 󠁯•󠁏 TCS: -6% 󠁯•󠁏 Wolters Kluwer: -13% Wall Street is calling it the "SaaSpocalypse." Because for the first time, a foundation model company didn't just build the AI. They built the application layer too. Anthropic isn't selling APIs anymore. They're owning entire workflows. Why pay $50K/year for legal software when Claude does it for $20/month? Why hire 500 IT consultants when one AI agent works 24/7? & the scary part? This is just 11 plugins in a research preview. Imagine what's coming next. If your company's value prop is "we automate X"... You're now competing with Claude. And Claude costs 1% of what you do. You're either building with AI, or getting replaced by it. No middle ground anymore.

@LuxxfolioH You might want to have a word with the person that put this together. These rankings don’t make any sense.

Litecoin has the second highest decentralized score after Bitcoin.

@vikrantnyc The fact most people voted no is actually quite bullish.

Is this the crypto bottom?

@ProtonPrivacy @Bitwarden What stands out to me is that people who use Bitwarden generally make better privacy-conscious decisions. A good passwordmanager is the best start, a good VPN, privacy friendly e-mailprovider and browser come right after.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Proton’s products in @Bitwarden's Data Privacy Week survey. We’re grateful to be recognized and trusted by a community that truly cares about privacy. 💜

@turtlecute33 @IncognitoCatMe What if I can tick off all 20? “Mom, dad, I made it!”

If your score is above 6, you’re already better than 99% of the population. How many have you done? 🔐👀

@bramcohen But as a coding newbie claude code has learned me so much about coding already. So it has pros and cons. But I can understand when you’re a coding pro this AI can make you lazy.

People are warning that if you use AI and never write any code you'll lose all connection to the code. Unlike what I normally do, which is write specs which are implemented by coworkers.

@Bart_Mol @gmoneyNFT I guess these influencers have some good branddeals with Apple. 😄

@gmoneyNFT It’s pure slop. People are running clawdbot with opus 4.5 and their ,ax subscription. It burns through tokens. Local models don’t run on your 599 Mac mini. You don’t need a Mac mini. The larping going on is insane.

ok this is a good explainer of why you need this

@iAnonymous3000 Agree, yet I see DDG advertised as a privacy friendly alternative for Google. Even tor browser has duckduckgo as standard search. Why?!?!?

DuckDuckGo doesn’t belong here DuckDuckGo doesn’t operate its own search index. When you run a query, it gets proxied to Microsoft Bing. DDG anonymizes the request, but the results, the ranking algorithms, and the underlying infrastructure belong to Microsoft. In May 2022, security researcher Zach Edwards discovered that DDG’s mobile browser selectively blocked trackers. Allowed Microsoft’s msclkid. @BrendanEich documented the technical details: Microsoft’s msclkid exists specifically to circumvent third-party cookie protections. DDG knew this. They blocked equivalent parameters from competitors but exempted their business partner. CEO Gabriel Weinberg confirmed the cause: their search syndication contract with Microsoft limited what they could block. The privacy product was architecturally compromised by a revenue agreement. DDG patched this in August 2022 after the backlash. But the episode revealed something important: when business obligations conflicted with privacy promises, business won until they got caught. In March 2022, Weinberg announced DDG would begin “down-ranking sites associated with Russian disinformation,” specifically naming RT and Sputnik. Whatever your position on that content, this marked a fundamental shift. DDG had marketed itself as “unbiased search” that didn’t filter results based on editorial judgment. The company makes centralized decisions about what information users should see. That’s their right as a private platform, but it’s a different product than what was advertised.

@XMRVoid Lmao. The most easy thing to do on Mint. Linux Mint rocks

Okay so Linux Mint left me with a horrible taste in my mouth for Linux Give me a recommendation for someone who only cares about gaming, X, Spotify and Davinci resolve Linux mint was the worse experience and fuck anyone for recommending that piece of shit. Spent two hours and couldn’t even install brave no matter the tutorial

@Proton_Pass @ProtonPrivacy You’ll never know.

What have you done today to protect your privacy?
