People use YouTube because YouTube pays them. You want to get paid without a middleman; you have to use cryptocurrency. The Fediverse hates crypto, so the Fediverse will never have a YouTube replacement.

the dominant emotion at “Love Rising” wasn’t anarchy but reassurance—a therapeutic vibe, broken up by pleas to register to vote. Nashville’s mayor, John Cooper, a Democrat, spoke; stars from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” showed up via Zoom. The folky Americana singer Joy Oladokun, who had a “keep hope alive” sticker on their guitar, spoke gently about growing up in a small town while being Black and “queer, sort of femme, but not totally in the binary.” Jake Wesley Rogers, whose sequinned suit and big yellow glasses channelled Elton John, sang a spine-tingling version of his queer-positive pop anthem “Pluto”: “Hate on me, hate on me, hate on me! / You might as well hate the sun / for shining just a little too much.”

The passoire is simple (see image above). Imagine the intersection by your house or apartment, remove the pavement from corner to corner creating a square of green space, imagine a few large trees, include the sidewalks (if you have sidewalks) and install crossing paths that are big enough for two generous-sized tricycles to pass each other on a warm summer night and blow kisses. Voilà.

Is Crypto Finally Dead?

Weak hands got shaken out, and the economy is teetering on recession. When inflation stops and interest rates fall, and quantitative easing starts back up it's gonna come roaring back. The SEC and CFTC aren't trying to kill crypto, they are just trying to decide who's jurisdiction it falls under. The crypto industry will benefit from regulation, it will get safer, and you'll feel like an idiot for asking this question instead of buying while it's cheap. Hit me up in 2025!

In the web3 value chain, the profits don't all go to the assemblage as they do in Web2.0. All the money doesn't go to Facebook and Google here if this vision sees reality. Creators will take home the profits, and those who own scarce digital assets whose value may increase with time, supported by large, decentralized exchanges will take their rightful share of the profits.

the bike industry is experiencing a supply chain overload. Many companies forecast continued demand where none materialized, and so shops are full of stuff and low on cash. A cursory glance around the market will tell you that a whole lot of stuff is on sale, and this is the WRONG time of year to be discounting new gear.

In the existing implementation in the C++ library, the code does a series of tests to see how many items it needs to sort and calls the dedicated sorting function for that number of items. The revised code does something much weirder. It tests if there are two items and calls out to a separate function to sort them if needed. If it's greater than two items, the code calls out to sort the first three items. If there are three items, it returns the results of that sort. If there are four items to sort, however, it runs specialized code that is extremely efficient at inserting a fourth item into the appropriate place within a set of three sorted items. This sounds like a weird approach, but it consistently outperformed the existing code.

Nah, the share api just pops up the OS share dialog, if the user didn't want that they can just close it, if they click a share target then when the share target usually asks for another confirmation click. It's not likely the user will click three times accidentally.

Tolkachyov Pavlo was mobilized on February 24, 2022 to the 125th regiment of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic. Tolkachyov says that the way the Ukrainian military treated him in captivity changed his outlook. In this conversation, the prisoner also spoke about the terrible attitude of Russian commanders, how Russia cheats its soldiers with their salaries, and how it monitors the private conversations and correspondence of its military. For more – watch full interview.

I'm super stoked to see this API finally hitting recommendation. Next up Web Share Target API! #webDev #web #api #programming #javaScript #webPlatform #frontend
[The Web Applications Working Group](https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/webapps) has published [Web Share API](https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/REC-web-share-20230530/) as a W3C Recommendation. This specification defines an API for sharing text, links and other content to an arbitrary destination of the user’s choice. The available share targets are not specified here; they are provided by the user agent. They could, for example, be apps, websites or contacts.
