   I've lived in a lot of places, many of them on the receiving end. I'm from a western country originally though, sure. Can't think of any wars we've been in during my lifetime that have done me much good. All wars of choi

   There are so many ways to make money. One doesn't need to compromise on one's values to earn.

   Much love and respect. I quit a job over a similar matter of principle. The decision to walk was easy, but the following year wasn't. I'm glad I did it though. We have to few years on this earth to spend our energies hurting other

   Unfortunately, no one is an outside observer when it comes to America.

   I'm not what I'd call a heavy user, but I've also mainly been using Copilot in VS Code on the basic sub. You do get Opus 4.6, and it's really affordable. I usually go over my limits, but I'm yet to spend more than 5

   I don't know how much of an issue KYC is to your average crypto-dabbler. I found a few K's worth of BTC down the back of the sofa recently, and was astounded by how easy it was to use it like Visa after converting to stablecoin. I

   This is so utterly urgent. The US is an increasingly-deranged, hostile actor, which is able to cripple our tech at will. I think we've been far too complacent about the direction of travel across the Atlantic. Trump and his crew are th

   Not disputing that in the slightest, but the locus of accountability stands with those at the helm. A network is vast and complicated, a cabinet is not. This is where prosecutions typically start. The statements Trump and Hegseth have made

   There will be no peace till Bibi and his enablers are at a 21st century Nurenberg. The extent of the atrocities committed over the last years alone is staggering. The West's support of this animal is disgusting. He is now attempting to

    I've designed jewellery for my wife's last few birthdays. Nothing fancy, geometries, square kufic and such. Very crude approach: I've been doing it in Blender, if you've 3D skills should be easy. I've got a friend w

    Exploring "interesting ideas" is kinda broad, but I find Philip K. Dick, J.G. Ballard, and Iain [M.] Banks all packed full of stuff that gets the noodle baking.

    The two most high profile actors publicly laying into London are American. Surely Ockham's razor applies here?

    Is Putin the most powerful figure? It seems Bibi holds the most sway over Trump this month. Don't get me wrong, I've no love for Putin, but framing the Trump project as Russian misses the huge amount of American money and effort b

    I always wonder why people zoom in on Russia, when there's so much America involved. Trump and Musk are constantly targeting London and Khan on social media, but sure, it's the Russians driving this.

    I think the likely scenario is Trump digging in post-mid terms. This is very likely, given the amount of flagrantly illegal stuff he's got floating around him and his crew. Then two paths: he's either successful, forming the sort

    What's really weird about this list is what's not there. I'm not seeing my spicy extensions (e.g. BPC), or the ones I use to block content on LinkedIn (ViolentMonkey, Ublock). So this isn't about detecting what they migh

    We need to approach the US in the same way we approach other rogue states, but more urgently. We (Europeans) are, at the time of writing, being dragged into a global crisis. It is not hyperbolic to fear WW3. This is happening because the US

    I think there's something to be said for _any_ physical media when it comes to audio. I hate opening my phone/laptop to put music on, inadvertently opening HN/lichess, and watching the next few hours vanish in silence. Also d

    Interestingly, this is denied by the Iranians. Regardless, Trump and Bibi started this war unilaterally. It's not gone as planned and now they want our support. The only appeasement I've seen the UK do (repeatedly) in my lifetime

    The sad thing is how many aren't available. I'm not sure I saw any living authors there. I see no reason why copyright should extend beyond the lifetime of the author.

    I think people already don't care. Does it matter that Marvel isn't real, or that people will never meet the famous people they talk about constantly? I think the killer understanding the right has settled on is that politics is e

    No chance I'd go to America, as they definitely check that sort of thing at the border now. Not sure how often that happens coming to the UK, yet.
