If you want to improve your reading skills, build patience and endurance just work on react-native projects for a few months. You'll come out as a different person.

Stop using analogies to make an argument or to defend one. You're just using them to hide the fact that you don't have a real argument.

Ubuntu's Gnome desktop is a piece of shit.

$95k is the new $58k.

I've been waiting for the year of Linux desktop for like 4 years now. It's 2025 and it is still terrible.

I need a list of pubkeys to follow who are not Bitcoiners and are on Nostr and talk about things other than Bitcoin. I don't mind even if they are leftists.

The H1B system today is like tax laws for rich people. When there are loop holes, it gets abused. The system was broken for a very long time starting with the lottery process. The people were never the problem, the system was. One other thing that isn't talked about much is how a lot of American companies have stopped doing in-house hiring of engineers but instead started outsourcing almost all projects to companies like TCS, Infosys, Accenture and Cognizant who have massive bases in India and naturally these companies bring in thousands of workers on H1B and underpaying them or simply use the offshore model. From my understanding the reason companies started going this route is because hiring in general is hard and imagine hiring 25-30 engineers to do various things for a single project but then also have them on payroll for a long time even after the product is ready because firing isn't easy either. So companies just pay extra to outsource all this work to these software services companies.

Everyone: Lightning is a failure This makes no sense to me because I don't even understand the criteria of saying it's a failure. Nobody even uses Bitcoin to make payments, that's not lightning's fault. And for the 1% of 1% who actually make any payments, lightning is the only L2 that exists and is the only one that actually works. We can call lightning a failure when we create a circular economy of Bitcoin where merchants accept it and people actually pay with it and then lightning doesn't work in such an economy. The only circular economy we have is white dudes posting tik tok videos of buying coffee in El Salvador and lightning seems to be working fine there.
