Have you noticed that in space colony #sim #games:

• you play as an unelected leader with absolute power
• there's centrally planned economy
• everyone is assigned a job and has to live in government-built housing
• there's no private enterprise

The whole genre of space utopias is …USSR.

I'm using SSH server built into Windows 10 and I'm amazed that it works, even with fancier tools that print color output. I'm remotely logged in to basically MS-DOS!

You want to critique the outcome? Great. But if you want to target a source of a problem, learn enough about how it actually works to target the critique at something actionable.

Keep seeing this thing going around blaming Google for cookie consent and bad content on the web, and I'm down with the *idea* of a generalised critique, but this ain't it.

Better targets:

• AdX allowing massive, scaled fraud and ripoff content for more than a decade
• no teeth in Better Ads Standard enforcement
• "programmatic" ads that undermine bid rates on quality publisher's
• no tracker blocking in Chrome (would get rid of those banners, but only plausible after you fix ad rates)

• Three Arrows Capital founders seek funding for an exchange to enable customers to trade claims against firms they helped to bankrupt Kyle Davies and Su Zhu, the founders of the bankrupt Three Arrows Capital crypto hedge fund, have joined forces with Mark Lamb and Sudhu Arumugam, the founders of the CoinFLEX platform, which is undergoing restructuring due to its own solvency issues. Davies and Zhu are still on the run from liquidators. What a dream team. The group is seeking $25 million to create a cryptocurrency exchange they're calling "GTX" for now—which they write in the pitch deck is "because G comes after F". (remote)
• Not only that, but the exchange plans to focus on claims trading—that is, the trading of claims held by creditors against debtors who are undergoing bankruptcy. The fact that 3AC was a major catalyst in kicking off the string of bankruptcies we saw throughout 2022 was not lost on observers, with Nic Carter of the Castle Island venture capital firm commenting that the endeavor "is akin to arsonists returning to the scene of the crime and offering to charge their victims for buckets of water".

• Photo of the Ethernet tap board. It has two gigabit Ethernet ports labeled "A" and "B" at the left and right, and two more labeled "A -> B" and "A <- B" at the bottom. An additional RJ45 port is labeled "CONSOLE". At the right side a series of push buttons and LEDs are labeled "ANEG", "10M", "100M', and "1000M" for each of the A and B side ports. A SMA connector at the top side of the board is labeled "TRIG OUT / 3.3V CMOS". (remote)

Sometimes it's awkward though, because I'm like, "Can you all not see this?" And the people watching the video are, "What? It seems okay." And I'm just sitting there in disbelief getting increasingly tense... 😆
