@davidrevoy and we recap like, “Elon is an egomaniacal dunce good at buying stuff” “NFTs are grift” “Snowden isn’t a cybersecurity expert” “blockchain has been hopelessly co-opted” “you still have to secure the cloud” “AI produces mediocrity without humans” “vaccines are real” “the earth is a relative sphere”
@hacks4pancakes@gsuberland@davidrevoy I've been neck deep in gpsd lately and just reading the docs for it makes me want to rewrite it in rust - not to get rid of a bunch of "herein lie many unfound CVEs" C (which would be nice), but to cleanse it of ESR.
(No, I won't be doing this, I have a day job or three, but ...)
@davidrevoy Last week, my partner and I met with a lawyer to update our wills. He asked a series of questions about types of assets we own, to which we answered "yes, we own some of that" or "no, we don't".
The last asset class in his list was NFTs, to which the answer was "Do we look fucking stupid?"
@Plumbert 😉 👍
... and amazing to learn this lawyer listed it nowaday as an item of pocession. I guess this type of request will disapear in time now with their value being reduced to almost nothing.
@davidrevoy I feel like this is a good time for the "It's easy to say this was a bad idea in hindsight, but it was also easy to see at the beginning and in the middle, too" meme.
@davidrevoy "projects that lack clear use cases, compelling narratives, or genuine artistic value are finding it increasingly difficult to attract attention and sales."
Avec une ouverture des ventes du 1er timbre cette semaine, je leur souhaite de n'en vendre aucun pour avoir une chance de ne pas devoir gérer une plateforme ad vitam pour 3 malheureux acheteurs.

Je pense qu'ils se sont mis sur le projet il y a longtemps, mais les lourdeurs d'un grand groupe liées à la lourdeur administrative française, ça donne un démarrage en retard.
Enfin, bon, si j'avais été décisionnaire, j'aurais arrêté le projet avant son démarrage. Ils sont complètement tombés dans le piège abscons. @devnull@framasky

Remember how a lot of photographers, painters and other artists had things like "NFT artist" or "NFT photographer" in their bios? Or had those bogus
"[username].eth" URLs?
@davidrevoy HHGTTG --> “How can you have money,” demanded Ford, “if none of you actually produces anything? It doesn't grow on trees you know.”
“If you would allow me to continue.. .”
Ford nodded dejectedly.
“Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”
Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.
@davidrevoy waiting for the rest of the investment hype-train house of cards to fall. Bitcoin, blockchain fintech companies, Quantum Computing cheerleaders, LLM-mania, etc.
