genem9··on This website is hosted on Bluesky
“Hosting websites” has been possible on nostr for some time already with npub.pro …
genem9··on Banned from Bluesky Within 30s
Sigh. Just another centralized platform.

No wonder Jack left the board.

Horrendous seeing cheering on censorship.

So odd that a pseudo-decentralized centralized company gets so much attention when Nostr is actually decentralized but never gets mentioned.
genem9··on Async Maximalism
Indeed! It does require to read more if you’ve got a wall of text as you wake up, but as things progress and people get in sync, communication tends to improve and become more efficient.
genem9··on Async Maximalism
Hmm, I haven’t really had issue. The teams that were already async seemed to have figured it out. Perhaps having a smaller team is key? I can see how larger teams may be more difficult to stay on top of.
genem9··on Async Maximalism
The teams that I’ve worked on have always just done everything via messages but to touch on your point, we never had check ins in the first place. People are given complete autonomy and are responsible for outcomes. With issue tracking it’s easy to see who is blocking the work but that person usually pushes themselves on without any additional input. The whole thing is rather casual.
genem9··on The things I wish I knew as a beginner freelancer
I have too. I didn’t mean to make it sound like it never works out. There are times when it does. It’s just that when approached by agencies a lot of them turn out to be flakes shopping around. Occasionally you’ll get a serious person on the other end.

Scary? Sounds amazing
genem9··on Your online identity is owned by your email provider (2019)
Regarding nation states, this sounds like a wet dream of any govt. to be able to centrally mine your email data :facepalm.

I know the NSA can probably do it but at least it’s somewhat gated to that intelligence community. Opening it up further is a recipe for disaster.

Hokkaido property sounding nice right about now.

Pretty sure the self driving vehicles get the speed data from a dataset and not from signs.
genem9··on DevUtils: Offline Toolbox for Developers
No need to apologize to anyone. Your pricing is a steal for the convenience. It takes time to maintain and develop new features and it would be crazy for people to expect all of this for free…
