I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.

Together with @BTCScalingLabs, we’ve ported the IPC codebase to Bitcoin over the past year. The result — BTC-IPC — enables scalable, interoperable L2 networks that inherit Bitcoin’s security and cut transfer costs (or raise throughput) by 23x. Details in thread. 1/13

Proving an Ethereum PoS block's ancestry is hard. Verifying predecessor blocks without downloading all of Ethereum's ~200MB Beacon state is far from trivial. Inspired by @lodestar_eth's proving API, we built a Rust library that simplifies proving the lineage between two beacon blocks: github.com/commonprefix/ance…

We got an email from the Serbian Registry of Internet Domain Names (RNIDS), the organisation that is responsible for the `.rs` top-level domain.
Looks like they are a big fan of Rust. 😊
ALT Dear Rust Foundation and global Rust community, We at the Serbian Registry of Internet Domain Names (RNIDS) respect Rust and its global community. Rust has already proven its ability to increase the reliability and security of the internet and the rest of global digital infrastructure. The global Rust community amazes us with its enthusiasm, commitment, and ingenuity. We are also aware that an increasing number of Rust projects use the .rs domain. As Rust grows and gets adopted as a dependency in many places, there is growing concern about, among other things, whether the use of the .rs domain, Serbia's national TLD, represents a risk or liability. Being fully aware that we have no control over how the Universe works or what the future holds, we, as the Board of Governors and CEO of RNIDS, would like to reach out to the Rust Foundation and the Rust community to express our support for your efforts and to say that the global Rust community is welcome on the .rs domain.
ALT So, know that you have a friend at RNIDS, and you may contact us with any concerns you may have about any .rs domain that you believe is vital to the Rust ecosystem or the stability and resilience of the global internet infrastructure. Keep up the excellent work! Best Regards, Dejan Djukic CEO & Ivan Minic, Chairman Serbian National Internet Domain Registry Foundation Žorža Klemansoa 18а/I, 11108 Belgrade, Serbia | 381.11.7281.281 rnids.rs | domen.rs

So @figma spent couple of years with Adobe and learned how to price their product as outrageously as possible!? $25/mo/seat for inspecting designs (Dev Mode)?
I am not able to wrap up my mind around this pricing 😤

Komplet lepinja 🇷🇸 is the best breakfast in the world in 2023. View complete TasteAtlas Awards 23/24 lists: tasteatlas.com/best/foods-by…
This delicacy consists of a traditional flatbread (lepinja) that is cut in half, coated in thick cream (kajmak), and topped with an egg. The combination is shortly baked and should be doused with a mixture of warm meat drippings, which is locally known as pretop.
Although it is nutritious and highly caloric, the dish is commonly enjoyed for breakfast and is best paired with a glass of yogurt or sour milk on the side. For the most authentic experience, it is recommended to eat it with your hands.

Soviet circus acrobat, Valentin Dikul, performing his power juggling act in 1985. The sphere balls weighed 88 lbs (40 kg) each.
At age 14, Dikul was seriously injured during a gymnastic performance when a steel support cross beam broke, causing him to fall 43 ft (13 meters) and fracture his spine and suffer a traumatic brain injury.
As part of his recovery process, Dikul began to train 5 to 6 hours a day stretching rubber bands, lifting heavy objects and doing push-ups. However, he was unable to even move his legs. Doctors told him that there was no hope that he would be able to walk again, but Dikul persisted by continuing to workout everyday until he would pass out from exhaustion.
As he began to develop more muscles on his chest, body and arms, Dikul would incrementally increase the weights. Once he regained his upper body strength, he began to tie ropes to his feet and move them using a pulley system. At first he would move them just by pulling the ropes with his hands, then he began using counterweight loads. After 8 months, Dikul was discharged from the hospital.
His story was told in the media and he became bombarded with letters asking for help. Dikul spent 3 to 4 hours a day responding to people and would send them instructions on his method of rehabilitation. In 1988, Dikul opened up a rehabilitation center to help people with spinal injuries. He is still heading it to this day and is alive and well.

Three weeks in coding with @zeddotdev and not switching back. So fast and visually pleasing. ⚡️
Still missing a few bits but I'm having no problem day to day.
And damn it looks so good with Berkeley Mono font from @berkeleygfx 🤤

Things what would make it perfect:
- Ability to hide tabs and status bar (complete zen)
- Setting keymap for searching buffer symbols (unless I'm missing it?)
- Bash (.env) syntax highlighting
- sql, gql highlighting inside js/ts files
I'm keeping track of releases! 👀
