If there's one thing I've learnt this past decade, it's to never trust the business-ey/market-ey business partners. I've been and seen multiple friends get screwed over.

(2/2) But I see no one talking about how it affects the realisation of the vision for the masses.
Crypto's original vision is dead. And the people it was meant to be for killed it.

(1/2) On unrest in a crypto community. It's all about the money.
staff who continue working there despite questionable practices by the boss/cronies because... Wages.
community directing blame before really searching for the truth because they have money on the line.

Twitter was a free SMS pubsub service. Mindblowingly free, globally!
I've built so many SMS apps via Twitter back then. Notable ones:
1. TwitterChat – an embeddable SMS broadcasting shoutbox, aka trollbox today. web.archive.org/web/2007111304…
Died after Twitter killed free SMS.

Twitter launched on this day in 2006. Here’s more on how they got started. 🧵

@dk Special coz they're doing it again in 2023. Haha you can go revive 5 stones and zero point. Do people still play hopscotch? Lol

What is so special about kids playing Beyblade at void deck in 2023 as if it is 1999? I used to play 5 stones and zero point at void deck in 1999 as if it is 1975.

It's sad when I see how a person I respect(ed?) evolve from humble, to confidently humble, to confident, to over confident and then to arrogant. The trajectory of what comes next is worrying and saddening.

@omar_almalol @obsdmd I'm experiencing this as well. I wonder if it might have something to do with CF's maintenance. cloudflarestatus.com

@obsdmd subdomains are down!
Is it regional? Cuz twitter showed a preview of the website help.obsidian.md.

So I'm slowly moving over to Mastodon at @ridz84" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kopiti.am/@ridz84
It's less about vibes and more about decentralisation, data ownership, etc. Might blog about this someday.
Will still lurk and make the occasional post on Twitter since some folks are still here though.

OKRs for the coming week done. I can already feel the gg-ness of my goals for 2022 lol

1/ This industry is made up of so many smart, passionate, open-minded, welcoming people, with genuine humanitarian interest at heart. I know we're going to get past this. True believers will not be deterred. But, this is a massive setback. I'm really trying to control my rage.

@jerricklim I've always wondered why not many ppl talked about mastodon

Just realised why they chose this style

- Good fit
But that's just me, lmk what you like!!

@FyleJX I read books, journal, watch random movies. My goal is usually to just take in a breadth of fresh perspectives coz it gets my mind out of the silo (which tends to happen when I do focused work for extended periods)

Been into stoicism lately and picked these up since I've also been listening to @RyanHoliday's podcast quite a bit

while everyone is fawning over metaverse(s?), I'm fascinated listening to @NickMilo sharing about the ideaverse

Declaring email bankruptcy today after 5 years. Seeing some of the emails from 2017/2018 really brings back memories. Both good and painful.
So... Ermm... If anyone's emailed me in the past 5 years and I never got back to you, you might wanna reach out again. Haha
