Coinbase’s CEO lays off a ton of employees and says: “Non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI” less than 24 hours later: coinbase’s trading engine goes down and somehow even the status page breaks too

🤣🤣🤣🤣

2023: Corona ended 2026: Hantavirus

You can follow live block production on Cardano and see the stake pools closest to you as they mint blocks in real time. It is a live visual display of decentralisation and resilience. Cardano is operated by people across the world, from different backgrounds, jurisdictions, and communities. No single country defines it. No political boundary contains it. No central operator decides where block production happens. It is borderless, permissionless, and politically neutral infrastructure. That is what decentralisation looks like in practice. global.cardano-visualisation.com

There's two types of people in Cardano right now. 1) There are those that complain 2) And there are those that wake up every day & work hard on fixing the problems You gotta chose which one you want to be.

@ItsDave_ADA Noice!!

@Stonium ah yes, it's a work in progress between other bits, also created this :) governance.cardano-visualisation.com

I can feel the mood across Cardano has changed recently. People are tired. The market has been difficult, patience is thinner, and conversations that should be constructive too often turn into people trying to score points against each other. Sometimes it feels like people are being attacked simply for choosing to support a blockchain they believe in. Leadership has felt unfocused at times, almost absent, while another budget cycle moves forward with some very large asks. In the middle of that, many DReps are trying to keep things grounded. Asking difficult questions, challenging proposals, and treating treasury spend with the seriousness it deserves. Because the treasury is not an abstract pot of money. Every approval is real ADA leaving the system. When voting power becomes concentrated, that responsibility becomes even heavier. This is where DReps matter. They can help move voting power towards people who are capable of making a real impact, while still keeping fiscal responsibility at the centre of the decision. That balance matters. Cardano needs builders, delivery, infrastructure, liquidity, and growth, but it also needs discipline around what gets funded and why. Governance was never going to be clean or comfortable. It is messy because people care, and because the decisions actually matter. There is something motivating in seeing DReps push back where they believe it is needed, and support work they believe can genuinely move Cardano forward. I still feel optimistic. I have always believed that passion wins in the end when it is matched with patience, honesty, and discipline. These low moments do not last forever. They usually reveal who is here for the right reasons. Most blockchains would do anything for a community this engaged. You cannot buy people who care enough to question, argue, build, vote, and keep showing up when things are difficult. I am excited about what Cardano can become, but more than that, I am grateful for the people who still care enough to help get it there. Let’s push through the hard times and enjoy the good times.

@ItsDave_ADA There was some on chain monitoring tool I think you were working on that I was curious about. But anything that you’re excited about really

@Stonium Which ones? :)

@hoskytoken There was never a reason for needing the BOS token... Other than well, you know.

Rugged?

realkylestone.github.io/ToDo_Private/ I built my own to-do app, and it's just one HTML file Earlier this year I was drowning in tasks with no good way to keep track of them. I started with Windows sticky notes, but they just weren't cutting it anymore. I tried Google Keep too, but eventually fell out of love with it. So I built my own solution, with a bit of a twist. It's a completely serverless app that lives in a single HTML file. Your data never goes anywhere unless you decide it should. If you want to sync your lists, you can point it at any folder of your choice -> Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, whatever works for you. It's been working really well for me, and somehow ended up with way more features than I ever planned 😁 Grab it here (public repo): github.com/RealKyleStone/… All you need is the HTML file, no need to use the website at all! Give it a try and let me know if it's useful!

@dorked_web @ass_beaters lol yes!

@ass_beaters the way I thought this was going to be a shop vac-powered turbo...

Oh my, if you're having a bad day you should look at this person's day. 💀

@IterIntellectus Can't wait for @burkov to find this

friendly reminder:

@huskirl Are you suicidal?

I’m locked out…

needed to convert a bunch of HEIC files to PNG. The online solutions are not free or just plain weird. Vibe coded my own in 5 minutes...

Never get tired of how little self preservation some people have

@BrendonWessels Fok, what do they feed him?
