Gender is just astrology for normies.

i feel like people going on and on about how bad bitcoin is for the environment or whatever is just doing a lot of free marketing work for bitcoin. it's a heel character. its entire brand is being all about money and greed and so on. that's exactly what appeals to people about it!!!!! it's the loveable rogue who helps them buy weed. proof-of-work is just conspicuous consumption, which people also love, like they love vegas casinos and the hugely wasteful fountains out front

@untzag@mastodon.social We've thought about enabling it for everyone, but I still think focusing on custom domain names for identity is the way to go. Keeping it opt-in also means fewer surprises for people. Will revisit this again in the future, though.

you: i think focusing on material success is a waste of time. you can't take it with you when you die! i prefer to cultivate moral virtue, humbleness, and an attitude of love and respect

me: you can't take that either!! you can't take anything!!!

Hi fedi, glad to have some more news for you. Today we've launched our webchat and Tor onion services.

Webchat is available at: https://web.libera.chat/

And information on connection via Tor is available here: https://libera.chat/guides/connect#accessing-liberachat-via-tor

Please note: Tor requires an existing account with CertFP/ECDSA challenge configured.

We know that these gateways, and Matrix, are a big deal to some projects, so I hope we can continue to welcome projects and hopefully we have news about Matrix tomorrow!

if being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now

±8 years after killing google readers and announcing the death of RSS, Google decided to integrate RSS again in their Chrome browser:

Well, we didn't wait for them to realize that RSS is not dead…
