@vas3k А блинная неделя уже всё?

Утром сходил в зал и проверил: блины не убраны, алярма

@shafu0x @sachalansky is being shy. There is more to it. We reinvented some parts and improved the others. And we got a battle-tested hackathon model.

we need to re-invent hackathons guys

We at DoD are going camping with our friends from @internetarchive! Root Systems is a 5-day gathering in nature for builders & dreamers dedicated to building a decentralized web: one that is private, resilient, and beyond the control of a few central powers. More info below 🏕️👇🏼

I don’t think the world is ready for the zero day apocalypse that’s upon it. Cost of entry was the only real constraint on ethics of the game. Given current AI, it no longer holds. Who pays more for the bug is the only question now. Critical software vendors that don’t have a good bug bounty program are screwed.

@DrW3RK @Web3foundation @Polkadot Good call, congrats Radha 🎉

Grateful for the opportunities given by @Web3foundation and @Polkadot leadership in the last five years. Looking forward to continuing my Web3 journey as an educator and researcher at the University of York, Mumbai york.ac.uk/global/mumbai/

@DeanEigenmann But it already has one

oh boi

My Prem @0xDevCult was suspended for unauthenticity. I filed appeals, got one generic reply on 29 Dec. I’m still being charged and can’t cancel or reach a human. @Premium @XSupport @elonmusk could someone pls review this manually and either restore the account or stop billing me?

Skills are the new --help

just philosophised to myself and posting here deliberately so you find this mighty useless. On the second layer tho... Life is all about absurdity.

still can't believe i went from being a yaml engineer to being a markdown engineer

@telegram Telegram is only private when you open a private 1 on 1 encrypted chat. It's not an option for groups. Everything is stored on their servers by default. Do not share sensitive info over telegram, ever.

The latest Telegram update adds a major redesign to the Android app, even more Liquid Glass on iOS, a new crafting system for exclusive collectible gifts, emoji and color options for buttons in bots – and much more: telegram.org/blog/crafting-…

@durov Fix the search and users banning at last @durov

Russia is restricting access to Telegram to force its citizens onto a state-controlled app built for surveillance and political censorship. This authoritarian move won’t change our course. Telegram stands for freedom and privacy, no matter the pressure.

@TheDotsTalks @gavofyork there are very few people left who are still loyal and care about polkadot and want to help. And it's sad to see parity actively dismissing the community and fiercely digging its grave.

Honestly, I don’t understand why it works like this Have you seen those new educational videos on the Polkadot YT channel? Bros, this is really low-effort stuff: - plain screencasts with 💩 visual effects in 2026 - no VFX, no voiceover, no AI, no 3d graphics, no sound design, literally nothing - every video adds zero value, they’re just worse copies of what’s already been done. We already have proper Nova Wallet guides from Leemo and others While watching, I felt that unmistakable spirit of Kaito farmers producing tons of mediocrity in hopes of looting some points But this isn’t Kaito, this is the official Polkadot account And those aren’t yappers, those are hired, accountable workers Hard to imagine the level of cynicism behind posting these videos right after Polkadot carried out its global ‘optimization’ to eliminate inefficiency I thought we started fighting with the mindset of “let’s make at least something, no one gives a fuck anyway” So it doesn’t make sense to me whatsoever The most disappointing part is that I contacted W3F more than a month ago, raised my concerns, pointed out that such content is inappropriate for the official account, and offered my help because I’m pretty sure I can do it way better Result? Five weeks without an answer, and the videos are still being released What should I do to finally make something change? This is not the Second Age of Polkadot I want to see

hey twitter ceo @elonmusk. My company's account @0xdevcult was suspended for "unauthenticity". I filed already 2 appeals and still being ignored by support. I can't even quit paying for the premium. Fix it.

Burner Bites: Kitchen Ops for Novices zkzkzk.uk/burner-bites-k…

@MarcJSchmidt I believe x402 initiative should help building the appropriate business model here.

All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M+ downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay. I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it. Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence. Two of the most common OSS business models: - Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...) - Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more. The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't. Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing. Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly. The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement. My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.

When you rush into production but suddenly itch that maintenance place @sony

The 3rd edition of @ETHRome didn't disappoint! Got the chance to build an NFC usecase with @rakymnft that the @Polkadot folks seemed to really like! Should I build it out?
