@mekkaokereke It is important to understand that gender equality does not mean that men are giving up nice things. Patriarchy hurts majority of men as well, just in different ways. Many "male privileges" are upon closer examination no privileges at all.
Patriarhcal roles reserved for men are quite narrow and make their lives less safe and more lonely.

So because USDC = $1 is hardcoded inside Maker, the price gap of DAI<>USD will be the same as USD<>USDC even though only 30% of the collateral is USDC because it’s free to arb the difference by putting USDC inside it and printing DAI as if USDC = $1.

"TikTok is, at the moment, the most monkeys at the most typewriters you’re going to find on one platform. And it’s scaring everyone. But it shouldn’t! And if Spotify can’t just be Spotify, a stable, growing, incredibly profitable hub for a very specific kind of user interaction with music, with audio, then, truly, what is the point? Put another way: Why even try and build different platforms at all if they’re all just going to become video apps?" https://open.substack.com/pub/garbageday/p/an-infinite-amount-of-monkeys-at?r=22hu3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

So, Meta joining fedi…

We’d all better pull a Gab on that one.

The timeless struggle between the people building new things and the people trying to stop them…

In Node.js v18 we removed an old-time fix that reordered the DNS results to put IPv4 addresses before IPv6. As IPv6 gets widespread usage, this is the right call to do.

This has exposed so many broken IPv6 networks. What can you do if you on one?

$ node --dns-result-order=ipv4first

happy gender pay gap bot day to all who celebrate

This is the guy Elon decided to lambast last night.

If a person says they want to see Mastodon scale to support 100 million users, a lot of Mastodon users will jump on that person's neck. 🤷🏿‍♂️ They'll be accused of having "VC brain", or being obsessed with hyper growth.

It's not about hyper growth for growth's sake. If you truly believe that Twitter is bad(tm) and Mastodon is good(tm), and that people should leave Twitter, then where exactly do you think those people should go? There's hundreds of millions of them.

i'm so sorry for being that guy but i can't overstate how reminiscent current twitter is of Portal 2 when the entire facility starts to break down because wheatley got so insecure about being called a moron he starts cobbling together abominations that don't work out of spite

Anyway feels like a good day to post this one again

I just realized that one of the things that bugs me is people equating stereotypical Linux problems on Asahi with other platforms, because it's not the same, because we actually care.

Suspend not working, audio not working, power management being bad... all those things are Linux on $random_platform support memes. And they're memes because they never get fixed, because nobody cares. Acer isn't fixing their ACPI to make suspend not break for you. Nobody is spending time getting your speakers on your OEM laptop sounding good. And good luck getting anyone to even think about debugging why your NVMe drive stays warm in suspend and kills battery life.

Yes, you're going to run into the same things in Asahi today, but the difference is we care. And we're going to fix them. And since we control all the drivers and the pre-Linux bootloaders and everything is open source and we know things can be made to work at least as well as macOS, we can fix them.

The toilet paper at ETH Denver. Brilliant.
