@LinkedIn is now so desperate, it offers me game to compete against my connections 🤦🏻‍♂️ We are at the very end of the web indeed...

The simple truth: I want to use Linux so bad, but M1+ CPU are so much energy efficient that it would be BAD for the planet to just throw away my Mac and use second hand ThinkPad. In the entire lifetime of the product the energy consumption would be much worse! Help! #Apple

Hey @bryan_johnson can you share what type of blue-light filter glasses you use at evenings? There are a lot of different on amazon 🤯, what works? Thank you!

rednegra.net/blog/20260212-… And the big question remains: what's the usability scrolling through billions of records, what am I doing exactly... good that you have it nailed down. Now tell me a real use case for this

Why I still like #firefox the best? It automatically strips colors from ANY website when in high contrast mode. No other browser does that. You should try it!

I guess we are even going to split into two different species, the herd from which the Elite would choose and use as they desire... Almost like it is now, but they will live forever and we are going to be totally expandable. Can't wait... 🥲

And here we are, finally immortality for the Elite, we "The Poor" should just die off, right? Right?

@Simon_Ingari USA bullshit. After several rounds of interview the company still needs assurance? FO

What HR asks for = Payslip What HR actually wants = Supporting data about your value So instead of reacting with "red flag" or "I know my worth", take a breath & handle it like a pro. Here's how: Try this instead: "I’ve signed an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement ) with my current company so I can’t share my payslip, but I’d be happy to provide alternative documents to help assess my value" That’s how professionals talk. Not defensive, not dismissive, just clear & respectful. Here are solid alternatives you can offer instead of a payslip: ✅ Confirmation/Promotion Letter • Shows your position, title progression & trust gained over time ✅ Retirement Contribution Statement • A great non-sensitive indicator of monthly income • NSSF (Kenya, Uganda) ,RSA (Nigeria) , Social Security, Pension Contributions ✅ Portfolio + Job Description • Includes key responsibilities, KPIs & real contributions ✅ Letter of Recommendation (with role/title mentioned) • Especially impactful if it comes from a direct supervisor These give HR confidence to recommend you without needing your payslip. It also shows your initiative & transparency. You are never obligated to share your payslip. But rejecting professionally (and offering alternatives) builds trust & gives HR the data they need, while keeping your privacy intact. When you show maturity, clarity & class, your attitude becomes your strongest offer. Let HR see that! No interview invitation in the last 6 weeks? Let’s help you fix that CV and get you noticed. Email your CV to cv@oyk.co.ke with subject 'Revamp'.

Final interview. HR Manager : “Can you share your payslip?” Your mind blanks. Candidate : "Payslip is private and confidential ..." Interview ends. No offer. Here’s what they actually want…

@bryan_johnson That was fun!

makes me thirsty

@jamonholmgren I have not seen 3 in two decades 😱

Which formatting do you prefer: 1, 2, or 3? Or something else? (Prettier does #1, so we're probably stuck with it, but I'm curious what your opinion is.)

@bryan_johnson I don’t get it, why not just fuzzy water? This is what I’m choosing usually.

You’re at a party. What’s worse… wine or diet coke? Diet Coke contains artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose, which may disrupt the gut microbiome and insulin sensitivity. Wine averages 12-14% alcohol. Alcohol is a Class 1 carcinogen (it can cause cancer in humans), the same category as asbestos and tobacco. Even 1 drink a day raises the risk of breast, esophageal, and colorectal cancer. Alcohol also shrinks brain volume over time.

@bryan_johnson How many portions does a recipe make? Thanks for sharing, however I am never sure how many ppl does this serve, sounds like a lot for one portion..

what i'm eating for the next few days

The hypocrisy of the #vegan movement: John A. McDougall made the rounds explaining to everyone who would listen, what (in his opinion/fantasy) killed Steve Jobs, but his own death is a mystery to this day. Low fat is now dead as well 🙏🏻

I confirm - this is exactly how it is!

Did you know that #theouterlimits had an episode in 1999 about privatization of space flight, reusable rockets etc?

@subbicop2 "get out of those wet clothes, you'll get cold... and take a shower, you stink"

He’s all sweaty, what are you doing?

@powerlevel9001 and somehow I like you much more now...

Just picked up these two

as it should be - the bully can be out-bullied..

I find it terrifying to discover the opinions of someone you used to admire for his work. Like for example the views of @dhh on multiple non-technical topics. I think it's a pity when this happens, and very human to stop liking the work when you dislike the opinions...😢

@powerlevel9001 Provocative, happy, self pitying, angry... sounds like human to me. Nevertheless you are in the right age for deep work on your inner self. I know it sounds like bs, but it helped me A LOT! Still having bad days, but the good ones are more!
