This aged well…

How do you manage to confuse yourself with something so simple? ;)

Firefox still a thing? Wow
ska123··on The age of the grift shift
Yes I agree, right now it’s mostly financial sector and a techie playground for all kinds of questionable behavior, and that’s ok…. Lots of new tech starts that way.

Think how when nuclear fission was discovered and first made into terrifying destructive weapon and over a decade later into something useful and more practical like power plants.

The tech behind it is what excites me, and that is still in its infancy and not going anywhere, by its very design. The possibilities are endless with it and yes even the thing that excites you will be on there… eventually.

Applications will come, no doubt. When normie users are onboarded transparently it will be a game changer.

We still have ways to go and a lot to build and think about but the future is bright, regardless of what any country thinks or decides to do regulation wise.

Makes me unbelievably happy when I see clueless people and haters write things like “crypto was…”, “crypto is useless…”, “crypto is just scams…”, “no use case”, etc…

The future is so obvious, bright, and crystal clear with that tech, no one can bottle that genie. As intended.

All you have to do is to look a tad further than your primeval need to belong to a group (of haters).

Anyways, thank you for a huge foot ahead in that race.

ska123··on iPhone 12 exceeds radiation limits, claims French watchdog
Conveniently announced same day iPhone 15 was announced… totally not a scheme to scare iPhone 12 users out of their iPhones to move on the new one. Reminds me of the gas stove nonsense.

Imagine living in not-northern California in 2023. Ouch!
ska123··on Ask HN: How to self-teach while unemployed, without feeling like unpaid work?
> I can't help but think that any sort of career improvement when you have no job still needs to be compensated in a more immediate, consistent fashion.

Absolutely. I agree 100% and also think that that’s something you’d get in a “perfect world” ran by non-greedy people that care about others.

ska123··on Crypto lobby faces new Capitol Hill reality
Insert “Old man yells at the moon” meme here. Let it all out my friend. Introduction of world changing technologies normally has that effect on the uneducated and stuck-in-the-old-ways crowd.

Would address some of your points but they have been addressed and debunked over and over a thousand times by now. Still entertaining to see some people making the same old and tired points tho.
