@ChrisLAS I can’t wait to see you guys at LFNW! I’m then hightailing it to Bitcoin 2026. If you have some TWIB stickers, I’m happy to take them with me and strategically place them around the event.

@MarriottBonvoy I'm unable to create an account; always throws an error. I've tried FF, Chrome, Brave on Linux.

@evankaloudis Respect

One year GitHub streak complete.

@dhh The CPU was not clocking up. Fixed with: cpupower frequency-set -g performance

I love what @dhh is doing with Omarchy, but for whatever reason on my Thinkpad T490s it's very, very, slow. Here's my geekbench results Arch + Gnome: single: 1448, multi: 3858 Omarchy: single: 512, multi: 1347

@FactoriaLLS Haven’t tried the MyBellevue app. Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve tried everything. Police have told us Parking Enforcement can’t help due to it being a public easement.

@jcummins Are you submitting on the MyBellevue app? Also, curious - are the people living in their cars moving the cars frequently to avoid tickets? You could report them to parking enforcement. Cars can’t stay in a public parking spot along the street for more than 24 hours.

Neighbors in Robinswood, were sharing this so you can be aware of public camping in your neighborhood. We do not know how long this RV has been here at the park, but someone is definitely living in it. There’s also a handwritten note on the other side warning people about the dog inside. I really wish we had a safe parking lot program that included men. They deserve that. The safe parking lot in downtown Bellevue is underutilized due to the restrictions. They only serve women and children. As a person that has been homeless before, I’m fully aware of how many more resources are available to women and children vs men.

we write a lot of our own dependencies because we want to own the libs

The master -> main branch rename will forever be remembered for what it was: a relic of a bygone era of pandering to the politically correct under the guise of moral altruism

@BitcoinSapiens Help me add more features to sat.watch

@richardholland It’d be fun to use 2m radios when hiking with a group of friends. The range is awesome. But my friends are not nerdy enough to get their license.

Technician passed 35/35, won't be long until I can transmit General next month

@BvuePD Meanwhile, we have rampant street racing, theft, domestic violence, and junkies on every street corner. But yeah, let’s spend our precious resources on virtue signaling. Please fire the bureaucrat that’s pushing this nonsense.

Bellevue is for everyone. It was a privilege for Bellevue Police's Honor Guard to once again raise the LGBTQ Pride Flag at City Hall to commemorate the start of Pride Month. Learn about our work to keep Bellevue a Safe Place for LGBTQ community members: bellevuewa.gov/city-governmen…

I just acquired Ordinal Inscription #53 for 0.0069 BTC (roughly $660 USD). It depicts Bitcoin’s first logo, created in 2009 by Satoshi himself. Honestly, seems like a lot to spend on an Inscription, but I had to have it.

@lostbutlucky Are you talking about the layoffs 2 years ago or is this fresh news?

kraken laid of 15% of their work force and all their execs but the CSO

7 observations while reading the Google CEO email about Gemini: ⁃It gets off to a bad start with the use of “problematic” — a word used almost exclusively by political activists, corporate bureaucracies, and the progressive left. At a time when Google is being accused of being all three, setting this tone isn’t helpful. ⁃But isn’t his audience just Google employees? No, this was clearly written with the expectation that it’d be made public. Probably vetted by a dozen people. The description of Gemini as “formerly Bard” and marketing taglines sprinkled throughout are more clues that this was meant to be public. ⁃So why was Gemini problematic? Because its “responses have offended our users and shown bias.” This is stunning. It’s totally divorced from the real problem and what people were actually mad about. Google focusing on not offending people instead of factual accuracy was what CAUSED the problem in the first place. ⁃Then he promises to “address these issues,” but syntactically, “these issues” refer back to people being offended, not the actual problems. Vague language like this is meant to avoid accountability and dance around the real problem. ⁃This email was clearly written by a committee. If you boil down the second paragraph, it basically says: we’re working to fix it, and we’re already fixing it, and nobody’s perfect but we’ll keep at it, and also we’ll review what happened and we’ll fix it. Frankenstein paragraph. ⁃“We’ll be driving a clear set of actions” is the opposite of clear. How do you “drive” a set of actions, and why does the list of actions include “recommendations”? Again, more word soup presumably designed to make the reader too tired and confused to be angry anymore. ⁃The last paragraph of an email like this is usually used to rally the troops. This one went with: “we have an incredible springboard for the Al wave.” I’m sorry but this is cringe. Serious people in AI don’t speak like this. It’s out of touch to the end. Important note: emails like this are hard to pull off. Many people put in many hours to write this, in an effort to fix a problem that wasn’t their fault. This isn’t a comms problem. The obfuscation, lack of clarity, and fundamental failure to grasp the problem are due to a failure of leadership. A poorly written email is just the means through which that failure is revealed.

@reardencode Oh wait, that’s actually a dot. Nice.

@reardencode I like how the light reflection makes a dot just after the 6.

That's just how I roll. #bitcoin
