Excellent thread on the Dutch court decision to convict Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev on "Money Laundering" charges, despite it being impossible for him to touch, stop, or control funds flowing through the code. https://twitter.com/freedomtech/status/1790500934126293311

All developers should read this. If a criminal uses your code, YOU are the criminal. 🤡 #FreeAlexey https://twitter.com/freedomtech/status/1790500955680866779

Utterly gobsmacked. In the Netherlands, applying the laws of probability to software is now illegal. Go straight to jail. #FreeAlexey

Shocked and saddened. According to this Dutch judge, merely writing code makes Alexey a money launderer. The code in question is not some secret, forbidden code that is banned from public access or hidden in some hard drive in a bunker. It's on GitHub! https://twitter.com/LefterisJP/status/1790374396147749369

1st half - Positive from Wales. Clearly less dominant, but energetic and making chances count. 2nd half - France asserted dominance. Wales, looking frantic, making silly decisions, and suffered. Beating Italy is our only chance of going Spoonless 😬 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/match/EVP4132666

Doom porn is every generation's guilty pleasure. We're not the first generation to predict that new technology will create dystopia, and we won't be the last. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwHib5wYEj8

Learning a new programming language is a journey from consciously parsing each line to intuitively "getting it" - taking in the important details in the code - without thinking. This takes time and graft. When it clicks -> productivity skyrockets -> feelsgood.jpg

Trying to use @yup to post here and X simultaneously, but it seemingly doesn't work? Posted to X fine, but yet to see the cast show up on here 🤔
