“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.

In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.

Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).

When you take capital from #Thiel, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit #PG, don’t do it”. Then history.

It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.

#Hallo Ihr Lieben auf https://lsbt.me ,

Unsere #Instanz wächst und wächst. Kürzlich hatten wir unser zwei-jähriges Jubiläum. Wir haben aktuell 213 trötende #Rüssel hier auf unserer Instanz und das bedeutet, dass unsere Instanz mit eine der erfolgreichen Instanzen im #deutsch sprachigen Raum geworden ist.

Das bedeutet aber auch, dass der Instanz #Server einiges zu leisten hat. Er muss performant bleiben und er muss groß genug sein, um die ganzen #Tröts mit ihren #Medien wie #Bilder und #Videos zu speichern. Auch der #Backup-Server muss entsprechend dimensioniert sein. Das alles kostet viel #Geld im #Monat, das ich vollständig aus der eigenen #Tasche bezahle.

Wenn es Dir hier bei uns also gefällt und Du nicht möchtest, dass diese Instanz irgendwann in der Versenkung verschwindet, wie so viele andere kleine und große Instanzen auch, dann denke doch einmal drüber nach, ob Du mich dabei nicht ein kleines bisschen #unterstützen möchtest.

Spenden kannst du entweder per #Bitcoin, Paypal oder Banküberweisung. Alle Informationen dazu findest du unter #Spendenmöglichkeiten auf der "About" Seite dieser Instanz ganz unten: https://lsbt.me/about#spenden
Am meisten freue ich mich natürlich, wenn Du die Möglichkeit der regelmäßigen #Spende per #PayPal oder #Dauerauftrag nutzen würdest.

Vielen Dank und weiterhin ganz viel Spaß bei uns, wünscht Dir Eure #Admina
Christin

A slow start on #GoodFriday for the old man, another restless night of pain he struggles to get out of bed, after getting his classical music going, he makes his way to start the coffee, and somehow manages to get into the shower, as the hot water pours down over his body, he struggles to take the first breath of the day, eventually he emerges from the shower and struggles to brush his hair and beard, as he puts on his attire for the day, confusion sets in as to why he ever bothers, another day alone, another day in pain, another day where finding food to eat will be a chore, he stumbles out the door to see a windy cloudy day, unsure of where he really is he goes back to grab his coffee and settles in his chair, why o why Lord do you keep me here, for the suffering and struggling I must endure surely deserves some mercy and grace today, a darkness is in the air as the old man just sits and stares.
