Phone calls should be like sex: you need consent before calling someone.
I like the songs from @akirathedon@twitter.com, but specially I love that the lyrics are interesting, instead of just the zillionth love story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGDE19qm9Eo
Twitter isn't the place to convince anyone.
Triggering my designer friends:
Block web fonts for faster browsing (plus some more privacy and security). It's 2021 and the Web is still slow.
Almost any innovation that pushes humanity forward will increase inequality. Only those with time resources will do the research, find about it, and be the early adopters.
Crypto is an exception. Institutional investors were prevented from investing in it for the longest time.
The best interview so far with Naval Ravikant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUAMzDqff0U&t=5119
We thought social networks were about connecting with people, but they're actually about fighting cultural wars.

Thesis: people are nicer in places where rent is affordable and jobs abound.
The only difference between a CBDC and ”Bitcoin Standard” with mandatoryly licensed custodial Lightning Network is the end of an inflation-based economy, but with a KYC surveillance society.
Crypto can deliver much more than this.
I'm noticing how some people who supported Occupy Wall Street but now, between supporting the extractive class of the bankers on one hand, or the spontaneous order of cryptocurrencies on the other, they would rather choose the former.
The value (as measured in USD) sent over the BCH blockchain is already greater than the value sent over the BTC blockchain.

Beware of economic “news” that are actually economic propaganda.
Beware of economic “predictions” that are actually economic *prescriptions*, from those who are vastly benefiting from quantitative easing handouts, on the other side of the revolving door.

More US agencies potentially hacked, this time with Pulse Secure exploits
If you don't choose between Blue Team and Red Team (or the political equivalents in your country), they will both consider you in the outgroup.
We frame history through the lens of what we consider important today: politics. In school, we memorize the names of kings, while inventions like the medieval body armor or gunpowder are a footnote. Let alone how biz was conducted in past civilizations.

Talking politics usually takes a toll on your friendships. But as more things become political, like wearing masks (and the mandates), avoiding politics becomes harder, because the sphere of politics is ever-increasing, leaving very little out.

WTF ... Mozilla had always running JavaScript inside PDFs disabled by default.
But now with FF 88 this option is ENABLED by default. Which means, if a PDF file contains JS it will run without any user interaction. What can possibly go wrong?
To disable this:
about:config
pdfjs.enableScripting --> false
# FF 78.10 ESR doesn't include this option and still blocks JS in PDFs by default. Just tested.
