This meme always threw me for a loop it’s like are those laser blasters. Guns might work in space. Maybe the symbol of betrayal and revelation is happening at the same time & moment and that’s the point idk.

You know, I always feel a little guilty when the @nitter bot "corrects" my x.com links. But a problem is, if I use an xcancel link (like I did just below here) it doesn't get rendered. So I have to use a x.com link to get it to render, but then I always get the little Newman comment at the bottom of my posts.

I'm out of the loop but why do we need nitter and what's wrong with just linking to x?

Ahh makes sense. Seems like strange behavior from their end, making it difficult for people to engage with their content. Getting immediately pushed into creating an account always pisses me off, I feel like it drives away potential users.

xcancel + screenshot might be the move. hmm we can probably automate a screenshot.
reply
102 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 20h
but you can't click a screenshot a screenshot isn't necessarily a link
reply
also screenshots take a lot longer than posting a link (mostly because I clean my images and crop them to exclude parts of the image that aren't relevant)

It's pretty bad, isn't it? I wonder if being on medium actually gave him that much extra reach or if he would have been better off just hosting his own blog.

He certainly would have been better off at Stacker News.

... Meanwhile child rape and gang rape cases have gone up exponentially after letting in millions of unvetted migrants with non-western values. Really insane.

No, no, no, just simply British. They are getting everything they asked for and voted for. Good and hard, especially when they bend over like that.

I think a lot of old time Brits are spinning in their graves so fast they could generate the nation’s full electric needs! Indeed, they worked to get what is getting tossed out in the dust bin.

Bitcoin is all cool and fun, but then still needs to go back to the value-creating and solving problems part.

I meant that at the end of the day, all go back to value-creating and solving problems. Bitcoin is only a tool to enable/ help the value transfer. 👀

This strike loan thing might not be such a bad idea. The only thing that sucks is the interest rate but you can buy the BTC then make the loan then pay off the loan with your fiat job.
Plus you can buy before people like XXI and Adam Back and all these other treasury companies that are looking to stack bitcoin which ultimately means you get less sats for the future dollars you put in.
As with anything the key is risk management! If you don’t have a sure way to pay off what you took out in 12 months then don’t risk it!
If you don’t have other assets to make sure you don’t get margin called or liquidated don’t do this.
If you hate debt don’t do this!!
But I think this is cool because once I pay off the debt I get the bitcoin back plus be in a much better position financially. Instead of me just taking the windfall and paying off my debts which is great but the opportunity cost of getting sats at these prices is a risky bet. The price of bitcoin per dollar could be north of $200k by this time.
Let’s check and see @remindme in 1 year.

Happiness Journal 30/7/25
For the first time in my illustrious career, I have been assigned to the Science Department. I don’t even know how to set Science papers, but I guess that’s next year’s problem since all exam papers have been set this year.
I do feel a subtle shift in the way I teach English. Today, during Spelling, I wrote these two sentences on the board and challenged my P5 students to combine them.
Creativity takes a long time to germinate. Plant life takes a long time to germinate.
Notwithstanding the awkwardness in the sentences, they are effective for me to test whether students can come up with “Both creativity and plant life take a long time to germinate.”
Guess what? Half the class used “takes” instead of “take” in spite of me teaching them this rule yesterday. But it’s okay. Sensei’s mind is brimming with more English and Science examples like the above. 👆
reply
So you're teaching both English and Science now?
reply
Yup!
