The fact that the biggest tech podcast I'm aware of (wan show, LTT) makes apparently no effort to have a good camera and mic when they travel is mind blowing to me. It's like 30% of the podcasts. Take dji mic mini, or pc38x (you wear headphones anyway), it's a tech podcast. Not actually a big deal obviously but it's hard for me to imagine having an audience like that and using the worst built-in laptop mic you can imagine

i hate feeling like everything i do right now has to be financially motivated. i just want to make cool useful apps, videos, tools, etc etc, but with every decision i currently have to be thinking "yeah but how would this make money?" i am not a financially motivated person, getting rich is not the goal at all, but i have to find a way to make money from these things to be able to keep making more of them

and the second issue is that a lot of my ideas seem to end up being crowdsourced or adjacent... you need money to get crowdsourced things off the ground to pay people to help gather the initial data, or incentivize regular users/buy ads moneymoneymoneymoney is everything

i actually know a weirdly large number of wealthy people that believe in me and my ideas who would invest in these projects for sure, but i also do not like asking people to risk anything on my success, for multiple reasons end pointless internet rant, this is the path i'm going to start taking. so if you want to be an investor let me know haha

Oh hello, I (Tony) made a thing, and I need your help! Gas is really expensive. It is hard to find the best prices, and even harder to find the best prices for alternative fuels like R99 diesel, biodiesel, e85, etc. OpenFuel.app is a crowdsourced fuel app for regular gas alternative fuels, with gamification in the form of "capturing territory" and gaining population when you submit prices. Steal the top spot from me on the leaderboard ๐Ÿ‘€ Price submission is quick and easy, either snap a pic of the station sign, or the pump, and the app extracts the prices for you quickly and automatically, you simply select the right station (if there are multiple nearby) and submit. The app has value even without crowdsourced prices because even finding stations with these alternative fuels is difficult, and the app has all the information for locations already, just no prices. But obviously much more value helping users find the best prices once we get a big user base. This is very beta still and things will break, but I thought it was finished enough I just need to release it and get prices starting to come in. Respond here when you find issues or send me emails. No apps on the app stores yet, but it can be installed as an app via the browser "add to homescreen" option. Goal is to release native apps on the stores eventually. I'll make a video about it soon too, Twitter posts don't gain a lot of traction usually, especially those linking to external things like this I think it is actually kinda fun to use and capture area and will be genuinely useful for people, which is one of my big life goals as I work on things outside of TGD "help people with things in real life" Thanks for reading, plz help. Retweets and interactions appreciated as well to try to get it out to more people

Any student of history will tell you this is an extremely dangerous moment. People like Trump who make wild threats to do insane homicidal things again and again are full of shitโ€”until they arenโ€™t. All the safeguards are gone. The generals have been removed. Our allies have been alienated. Congressional Republicans will follow Trump to the apocalypse. We really are on the razorโ€™s edge of total disaster here and millions if not billions of lives hang in the balance.

New vid is live! I built a comparison tool for vehicles that lets you explore cost of ownership and emissions under different scenarios, and make some comparisons in this video. Fun stuff And S/O to @ShiftingLanes for the YT collab! youtu.be/fHMub7S4gxk

Extremely dystopian feeling, but as someone buying and selling online, a "verified person rating" that integrates into all online sales websites would be really nice, in an age where images and videos of things being sold cannot be verified if you can't see it in person
