I want to change the primary revenue model of the Web from invasive advertising to audience-supported creation.

This can be accomplished by building payments into the browser as a platform feature of the Web and by adding a social interaction layer onto websites to liberate creators from controlling, closed content platforms (eg Instagram, Twitter, TikTok).

I am so grateful to be working with @Interledger on these big ideas!

Wild situation unfolding in Wisconsin.

GOP is trying to force out the head of elections, who's been targeted by Big Lie conspiracies.

Now she's hanging into office due to a court ruling GOP once cheered.

And... supreme court is days from flipping left. https://boltsmag.org/wisconsin-election-administrator-republicans-election-denier-conspiracies-state-supreme-court/

Even with everything, by far the funniest change is still altering the Tweet placeholder text from "What's happening?" to "What is happening!?" and I'm convinced it wasn't an Elon change but in fact a sly dev crying out for help.

Looking to hire a #designer for a logo / branding project.

In short, I'm finally creating my own site that will host my blog, some mini courses and pages. Everything will be donation based and go directly to #opensource.

A constant theme will be taking old computers, and fixing them up with #linux to give them out locally to people in need.

So naturally, it will be https://www.linuxpotatoes.com/

Need a fun logo and branding help. Again, this is paid. Please boost :)

My ROFL for the day:

The women´s football (soccer) world cup is on. In an interview, one of the German players was asked "so who´s the female Neymar"?

Her reply was "I don´t think there´s a female Neymar. For example, I don´t know any female players who keep laying on the ground for two or three minutes".

🤣🤣🤣

This is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.

If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.

My wife has been playing Paper Mario: The Origami King, and one of the musical peices kept reminding me of something, but I finally figured it out. It's very, very similar to R2DJ's "A Beautiful Mine," which you may know as the theme from TV's Mad Men. Clips:

Sometimes Elon stans call me out on Twitter when people post the "cars and rockets" post, demanding to know what stupid things Elon says about software.

Here's a primo example.

In this exchange, Elon thinks Adam Mosseri is adding rate limits to Threads just like he added them to Twitter, and that he "copied" Elon.

Anyone who understands software knows Adam is talking about WRITE rate limits to curb spam posts. Elon implemented READ rate limits in an application that relies on ad impressions.

Breakthrough in geothermal energy 👇👇

An US company managed to generate a whopping 3.5 megawatts of 100% RE electricity at a full-scale, 30-day test.

The plant will connect to the grid later this year and power Google's data centers and infrastructure throughout Nevada.
