Capital gains tax shouldn’t exist. I risk my money. I build the business. I make the investment. I do the work. I take the risk. So why the hell should the government take a cut of my success? They risk nothing. They create nothing. They just take. Parasites. F’en parasites.

I know math is hard for some people, but 10% of a billion is far higher than 10% of $50,000. If we are to have income tax, a flat tax is the ONLY fair tax.

@PingStruggles @CtrlAltIdeate @better_auth You saved me many times Ping.

@stephendotgg @CtrlAltIdeate @better_auth Appreciate the kind words!!

Who’s using @better_auth out there?

@CtrlAltIdeate @better_auth I came from the Clerk world. Moving from paid to a free, open-source (and actually good) product was a breath of fresh air. Also, the support from Ping in their Discord and the AI chat on the docs are extremely good when getting into the weeds. Let me know if I can be of help.

@stephendotgg @better_auth Awesome! What do you like about it?

How did we all decide that “pull request” was perfectly fine terminology? It’s a merge request and I’m tired of pretending otherwise

@SeyagerYT @dv4540653521485 @Hytale Any plans for machines?

@dv4540653521485 @Hytale This is not a spin-off. Some parts resemble Create, but a lot is completely new and suitable for Hytale, you will see...

Hynergy mod for @Hytale. Electric and mechanical systems working together #Hytale #Blockbench #hytalefanart

Hard work ahead. We are ready.

@AvakanGuy @not_mynes Never had an OG before. Need to be careful.

@stephendotgg @not_mynes If legit it’s a pretty valuable name! Keep ur account safe!

this is genuinely no criticism of khushh, but it’s been insane to see how the perceived ease of distribution and building has inverted the meme used to be ‘i’ve got this app idea, just need someone to do all that easy building stuff’ now it’s become ‘i’ve built this app, just need someone to do all that easy distribution stuff’ distribution is the moat, it’s not easy for a reason :)

@simonfoy @theo yeah honestly im good 🙏

@theo I heard @stephendotgg is looking for a stateside partner..

Hey so who can I marry? I want to try something

@TheAiComposer @better_auth Will drop them a line

@stephendotgg @better_auth Hm, I agree with you there. I ended up dropping the username plugin for this very reason. I'm certain the BA team would appreciate a feature request! They're moving really fast right now and I bet we could see this in the next version.

What is one thing you want us to do better at better auth?

@FounderKyle @levelsio @grok Primary effect is browser caching

@levelsio @grok does the differentiation of 301 vs 302 really matter anymore?

Maybe this is for a reason but Twitter . com has a 302 redirect to X . com Not 301! "A 302 redirect is an HTTP status code that signals a temporary move of a webpage to a new URL. It instructs browsers and search engines to go to the new location for a short time but to expect the original URL to be used again in the future. You should use a 302 redirect for temporary situations like A/B testing, site maintenance, or short-term promotions, rather than for permanent page changes." @nikitabier

@TheAiComposer @better_auth The hooks won't work because I'm generating their username based off their social username. To be fair, it is an intended use case for the map profile function it's just annoying there's no direct integration.

@stephendotgg @better_auth Just use database hooks to create a username for the user or have an /onboarding redirect

@DerrickEvans4WV Yes

the moat is in the distribution, btw

@spluggywuggy @CryptoGibbs28 @MacnBTC Linguistic analysis

crazy how people still don’t know this was Satoshi

@MacnBTC Wrong. Evidence overwhelmingly points to Szabo as Satoshi.
