There’s roughly $155 trillion CAD of money and cryptocurrency in the world, and the USA owes $50 trillion CAD (~33% of global money) in debt against $8.3 trillion in assets.

Mastodon seems to be the only social network that isn’t completely filled to the brim with click-bait and engagement bait and stupid questions that everyone knows the answer to, and therefore everyone replies to with the same answer.

What do you do to relax?

I watch videos and movies, but that’s not really relaxing. Meditating and being out in nature are truly relaxing, but I don’t make enough time for it. It would relax me more, so why don’t I?

Maybe you get used to having your body in go go go mode, and it gets used to that and avoids a lack of input? I dunno. Unfortunate though.

@daringfireball New to me clip of Steve Jobs at an internal meeting in 1999.

Interesting Take: https://youtube.com/shorts/lLgFcVneDx8?si=ZvCmUamZpAJuYdYl

Steve Jobs. Apple. 1999. This internal talk was never meant to be public

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

After an unfortunate finger slip, I briefly tried to call the arse_url() function in PHP.

Now I kinda want to write an RFC to add it...

Attributes are the one addition to PHP since I started using it just before version 4 that I really strongly dislike. They’re code that’s not code, and they should die in a fire. Unfortunately, they are now unavoidable. Let’s see if Copilot can change my mind: https://copilot.microsoft.com/shares/FSunFCYvqsrXuwQexewGe

Why are attributes a good thing in PHP? I don’t like them because they seem like code that isn’t code. Change my mind.

A Commander in Chief just revealed his war plans and told Iran where to place their air defences.

There’s a limited supply of oil. It’s very expensive and wars are fought for it.

There is endless sunlight. It’s free and no wars are fought for it.

Let’s choose solar.
