Their other content seemed to be a bit too "social media influencer" for me. It is weird how so many of these people go down the rabbit hole and end up in RWNJ territory. It's almost like the Silicon Valley techbro archetype but for influencers. "I'm not right wing, I'm for drug legalization", "I'm not prejudiced against LGBT I just don't want to see two guys holding hands in public around kids," and other such denials are common too. Not sure if they got there yet and I'm not sure I'm going to go delve into their content to find out. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ This story is incredible.

Some of them also tried to give us the "how to make a market monopoly of the web3/crypto space" before that bubble burst. So I can't speak for others but for me it was, "I'll believe it when I see it." They started off on the wrong foot in many ways as well, making the protocol in secret not with community that they supposedly cared about, etc. etc. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1daf…783p I'm still more a fan of the AP fediverse over the now actually existing AT fediverse.

Those last couple seasons were rough though. As evidence of True Blood's similar last few seasons, Alan Ball doesn't know how to let a show end at its peak. Besides there are so many other shows I haven't watched yet: Breaking Bad, 30 Rock, etc. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ ...and on topic of #TheSopranos I was pissed with the series finale ending when it first aired. It was the exact opposite reaction I had to the end of #SixFeetUnder, which can evoke emotions in me to this day. However on the second time watching The Sopranos I found it very powerful and well done after all. That was even before I found an interview where David Chase, the show creator, spelled out what happened after the cut to black. #TheSopranos #SixFeetUnder npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ I can’t tell if this is real or not. If it is I’m glad Zuck found another hobby and involves his children in it from a bonding perspective. But it is just another reminder to me that billionaires should not exist.

I'd love to look into it! Thanks for the link. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1a32…ea5z @npub16xf…e0sv @npub1mrl…7vgm That is the good part. As is each independent entity being able to run their own server just distribute the cost of the network at large in an implicit way. But for doing things like creating a unified message that we can take to NGOs to get real money out of them and put that into a share development resource with real power then that gets complicated. The examples mentioned previously are either one entity building on the others, Hotmail, or the underlying software product could be embedded into another thing which is valuable enough that larger organizations want to put serious resources into that are coordinated at a central(ish) place, the Linux Kernel. We have some of that to a certain extent but there is a lot of fragmentation right now. It's more like the whole "we have 12 standards so lets make a 13th standard to unify them all" type environment on the fediverse development/promotion/etc side. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1a32…ea5z @npub16xf…e0sv @npub1mrl…7vgm I agree three is some public grants type funding that could be used to bolster the fediverse. We should definitely be advocating getting some of that too. But eventually it has to be self-sustaining by its own self generated economic inertia. My brain just runs back to the usual models though: ads (but without the user data exploitation), subscriptions, skim off content creators' paid subscribers and/or view impression incremental payments, etc. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1a32…ea5z @npub16xf…e0sv @npub1mrl…7vgm Even I, as someone who loves the fediverse, invests a lot of my own time and money into it, but who also does minor angel investing in sustainable businesses have a hard time coming up with a concept that would be something I'd be comfortable investing in expecting any reasonable rate of return (8% say). I admit my area of expertise is not in that side of things which is why I focus on FOSS contributions and just financing my own server. I do think about ways to create some monetary model that could work and scale organically. I have come up empty due to lack of imagination. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1a32…ea5z @npub16xf…e0sv The money problem is partly because VC predominantly only know how to ask "how will you be the next Google/Facebook?" type question. The play they can invest in is how to extract as much money from the user base and/or their data. Which then is just reimplementing all the nefariousness that we are trying to not recreate here. Coming up with a different business model that doesn't do those things but can still appeal to investors is extremely hard. Getting investors to buy into it when the big wigs especially drive with such tunnel vision makes in even harder. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub14vn…8aaw ...okay now I'm getting archived data too. I honestly have no idea what the backend is doing that would cause that result to changed. I do like that archive feature though. Is that just a user's personal posts? npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ I'm really trying to prime the pump on using PeerTube over YouTube. Even more than other parts of the fediverse it seems search/content discovery is ineffective enough that I'm going to call it broken :(. To brute force through this I even went to Sepia, got a list of all the servers, spent a couple hours going through accounts to find ones I even had a nominal interest in. My instance knew none of them. Fine, I'll just paste their channel URL into the search bar to force a fetch. Nope. Thankfully doing that with a video worked. Then I could subscribe to them, and away we go. I hope/hoped. There was one video that I forgot to add to a "watch later" list. Surely now that I subscribe to that account I could type their name in the search bar and it'd find it. Nope. What about keywords from the video? Nope. I'm at a loss for what it takes to finally have that start showing up on my local instance. Maybe I need to self-host to start figuring some of this out perhaps fix. Once I find stuff the streaming is great though. And I'm very glad to see there are now built-in mechanisms to help creators monetize through donations. #PeerTube #fediverse. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ Ah the enshitification at YouTube ads continues. We are now at the dick growing pills stage of shitty advertising. I'd rather be forced to watch these all day over the PragerU, Epoch Times, Daily Caller, etc sourced ads. "Nitro Wood" wasn't enough of a catch so they had to add "magnum" to the product name too...now I'm totally buying into the claims!

I have a batch of starter I haven’t fed since 10 August 2021, over two years ago. I took a little out, fed it, let it sit for 2 days, fed it one more time, and ten hours later used it to make the overnight leaven for this morning’s bread. Crumb is a little tighter than normal but still a solid loaf. It’s as good or better than last year’s at ~1 year mark. I’ll give it a try again next year too. #bread #baking #sourdough #food #YeastMasters npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub14vn…8aaw Yeah I think the various renditions of the multi-party parliamentary systems that exist in much of Western Europe really hit the sweet spot more. Even more when they directly drive for proportional representation in the composition like in Portugal and other countries. Perfect? Of course not. But way way better than what we have going on in the US. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ I figured after the Tres Commas...err sorry...Tesla Tequila turned out to just be regular decent tequila with an inflated price people would have learned.

Thank god! npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1tx0…8xxx I do need to clarify my clarification. I don't think everyone using the word in these protests are patently anti-Semitic either necessarily. In the same way that we have willful societal amnesia about the history of the Confederate flag symbology and the whole Lost Cause mentality that we let pervasively through our society. That said there is very real intimidation and violence against Jewish people here that is adjacent to these marches and far too many that I know should know better are at best indifferent if not openly encouraging it on. Hence the reason for my initial post. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1tx0…8xxx The "they" there are people who are using that phrase not Palestinians in general nor even just Palestinians since people all over the world are using it now. I agree with everything you wrote here. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1tx0…8xxx Sounds like a retconning akin to Confederate Flag stuff here. Sorry. They could have chosen any phrase they wanted to express that notion yet they instead chose to repurpose the phrase that originated to mean wiping Israel off the map. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ I'm pretty appalled at how much blatant and latent anti-Semitism is propagated around people that I thought should know better. I 100% support expressing concern and outrage over Israeli policies but many of these expressions are well beyond that. Hamas is a terrorist organization plain and simple. Them having government roles is akin to al Qaeda in Iraq in that it doesn't change that their primary purpose and nature is terrorism. Minimizing Hamas is bad, supporting them is worse. Minimizing Hamas's role in the plight of Palestinians over the years, not just through their terrorist attacks but how they have run areas they control, is also not good. Using supposedly pro-Palestinian slogans like "from the river to the sea" which is explicitly for the eradication of the state of Israel is the same sort of anti-Semitic dog whistle as the neo-Nazis using 88, "Fourteen Words", or etc. isn't showing support for Palestinian people it is projecting anti-Semitism and supporting wiping Israel off the map and kicking Jewish people out of the area. I won't even get into the at best non-reactions that is happening to the surge in explicit anti-Semitism and attacks on Jews throughout the US and Europe. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ Just finished the first season of Foundation. The series keeps getting better as it goes on. Very much looking forward to the second season and doubling down on reading the books (which I know are very different). #SciFi #FoundationSeries npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ I never bothered to learn the origins of the Renaissance Faire/Festival phenomenon in the US. I had assumed it had analogs to some sort of festivals in Europe. Nope it's a 100% American creation. It always felt more Medieval than Renaissance era too, which it always was apparently. It was just the people sponsoring the first one in 1963 thought Medieval had negative connotation to so many people so they opted for the more enlightened era name Renaissance. That and a whole lots of tidbits in this neat video. #history #RenaissanceFaire #RenaissanceFestival #LivingHistory youtu.be/gvHCNJwbsfs?si=nLjHr0… npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1zfv…7aqc Definitely better than it was in the mid-1970s. The slope of that curve is heading the wrong way the past several years though and seems like it's getting steeper in the wrong direction. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ I always look thankfully but skeptically at when big businesses do their whole "gay pride" marketing stuff. The test of how legit it is is how they respond to any pushback. The NHL has failed miserably in this regard. From showing pride to making it explicitly optional for the players, which I'm fine with, to banning even personal choice presentations of it. They try to wrap it up into other things too but the catalyst was showing support for LGBT people. The language of onerous burden being " a Player (or Players) is required to be in close proximity to any groups or individuals visibly or otherwise clearly associated with such Special Initiative(s)" e.g. being near gay people or people openly supporting gay people is just bone chilling.

I used to consider it a high quality publication even when their takes weren't ones I agreed with. Nowadays it seems to be rather run of the mill bad hot take for clicks and bothesidism that is starting to get up there with the NYT. Another one bites the dust I suppose. That means there really are no reasonably good MSM outlets left. Civilization has always had junk news since the invention of the printing press, probably before that. But if there aren't at least a few good ones that lay a decent foundation the whole thing falls. Bad news. But hey at least the hedge fund megamillionaires and the billionaires got to make even more money I guess...sigh... npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1uk8…wrph PS Love Lentils. One of the recipes I started off getting diet dialed back in on was this one. I had heard of but not read about Greger's Daily Dozen. Sounds pretty on point to what I try to target in terms of the veggies, legumes, and fruit. spainonafork.com/my-mothers-le… npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1uk8…wrph Totally agree with you. One of the things I like about cronometer.com (what I use to do all the logging) is how detailed all the breakdowns are: up to 80 macro/micro-nutrients. It can be pretty easy to tell without all the tracking but having it quantified like that can be interesting and sometimes helpful. Like there can be times where I think I had only been eating like crap for a week or two but it was more like months. I personally try to target what I just recently started calling a plant dominant Mediterranean Diet. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ Since I shared my net calories/weight graph over the past 8 weeks, I figured might as well illustrate what the average daily diet looked like over that last two week phase. It was a wedding leading into a long vacation so I planned for the heavy eating and drinking. Having tracked my food intake daily for over a decade I have it down to a science but the error bars get larger the more one eats out. That said the error in my estimated weight change over that interval was less than 0.25 pounds :). The yellow bar part of the pie chart is alcohol, on average 750 calories a day worth. That's essentially averaging 7-8 drinks a day, spaced out over a whole day so never getting plastered but still. Cholesterol and salt, not shown, were 3x recommended daily allowance. I am happy to be eating dialed into my target healthy diet again :0. #health #longevity #QuantifiedSelf npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1l77…ngzu I still don’t know how to use the three sea shells!

Is there documentation about why they didn't ramp up production of that bomber and ramp down production of the B-29?

This was awesome because that means I can workout almost like at home. They have regular pedals with a foot harness which means you really can’t get much upstroke pull but that’s okay. Login is with a QR code and it resets itself when done (except for Bluetooth headsets which you have to remove manually). Very nice unexpected surprise. I hope more places to this. They are way less expensive than traditional gym workout gear they buy. #peloton #travel #fitness npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub13vv…atwj When I was doing my dynamics stretching/warm up near the trail head it was a lot more uneven in spots than I was expecting. So I tried to not run in the grass to avoid any ankle/foot injury. I definitely like doing things like a quarter mile or more warm down walk followed by 5-10 minutes of stretching after each run. I have some yoga flow for runners classes by Peloton that I do at least once a week as well. npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub13vv…atwj Oh yes very much so :).

Today was my first 7 mile run since 2020. Since I’m going to be having more middling distances the next couple weeks for travel reasons I decided it was okay to push the distance a bit. I felt strong enough the beginning of mile 4 that I decided to crank up the pace for miles 5 and 6 a bit even with an easier pace for the last mile. I do love when they convert these old railroad lines into nature trails, like this Heritage Trail in New York State. Perfect reuse to provide people usable nature spaces. #running #fitness #health #NewYork #nature #HeritageTrail npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1wuz…3f67 Amazing how different the Miami skyline looks nowadays :) npub1agua0nvwdckv9kv5uggc2am4du0jyuu5kdxcf7us7ja5g753qz5s39j0sk Hank G ☑️ @npub1zrg…x77x @npub1r46…juwx @npub106n…65te Awesome idea!
