I am 100% sure they are being used to launder crypto.

You can set up a crypto card as your payment on steam, buy Steam Decks and then sell them easily for your preferred fiat currency.

Cryptonomicon is his best work imo. It is such a vibe all the way through, and absolutely hilarious at times. The masturbation analysis and graphs, and the cereal tangent get me every time.

I celebrated New Years in Amsterdam back in 2016. It was an absolute shitshow, and the streets felt like a warzone compared to what I'm used to in Copenhagen. This really doesn't surprise me the least.

Looks like another journalist just finished reading The Dark Forest

They have way more investors to jerk off and please now

Pivot to a closer relation with the more stable, less fascist alternative? Oh no, save us all.

Dem vi vil have til at droppe platformen, er vel netop dem som stadig bliver hængende på den. Hvordan ville du ellers bedst nå ud til dem?

Helt ærligt tror jeg det er smartest med nogle få "superspredere" der forbliver tilbage på f.eks. Facebook, og fortsat advokerer for boykot, og deler links til decentraliserede alternativer. Vi kan ikke bare efterlade de langsommeste, uden at give dem en hjælpende hånd videre.

Min partner skiftede f.eks. til Pixelfed, efter at have set et opslag på Instagram.

The phones weren't designed to get you addicted to them back then. I am a teacher, and if I had to start every class by convincing all student who didn't put their phones in the phone-locker to do it, then I would have no time left for teaching. I have pivoted to making classroom assignments that students have to complete using their phones instead, and it's working wonders.

Hope you get the job (so you can afford a new anti-stress ball)

I was just in Rome, and when I started getting hungry there was still an hour left until most restaurants even opened (19:30). Pure insanity to my Scandinavian habits.

Sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like a good guy. I wish we all had a better and easier way to die with dignity and on our own terms.

Using drugs to solve the problem of institutional memory is my favourite Frank Herbert invention.
