What attracted me to Farcaster? I first heard about it from @colin on @sinahab's show. Paragraph was what originally interested me, as their answers to the problems I had with substack were compelling. I then listened to @v talk about Farcaster on the same show (I don't remember much from that talk, it probably went over my head lol). I kept digging. The previous summer I had messed with Mastodon & Fediverse hosting. I thought it was a novel solution, but the result was so many chaotic splinters & fractures it didn't seem like a viable long-term solution. That, and the hosting and maintenance felt very web 2.0. "Sufficiently decentralized" was a concept I could wrap my head around. It was the greatest selling point for me as a non-crypto person, and it was a use for blockchain tech outside of just money-chasing. Plus it reminded me a lot of what I'm trying to do in the creative space: Create open Intellectual Property to share with others. Trustworthy, robust, and financed distribution is needed for this!

Does my storage expire after 1 year even if I haven't used it all?

Concerning Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk advocating for the abolition of Intellectual Property: Better late than never. Maybe they would be interested in the standard I created to help with this?

Spending money you don't have on books you won't read... Is this you? 🤨

The secret to accomplishment is butting into conversations in the nicest way possible and not leaving unless you're kicked out

I wrote about why I won't use AI in my creative writing almost 2 years ago. In short, I have no plan to use automated tools to replace my human intention. Art is expression and the process of creation is as important as the final product, perhaps even more so. https://michaelofstjoseph.com/artificial-intelligence

I'm on Chapter 8 of my innumerable revisions. The good news is I still quite love the story. It's actually been 4 years since I drafted an outline of Act I, it's almost been 4 year since I started writing. It's been over 10 years since I first started conceptualizing the story. Keep at it.

At present, long-form reading is reserved for something you care so much about you will do it to the exclusion of other things. Podcasts are for things you only care enough to pair with another activity. Never in my life have I seen or heard of someone who sat down to exclusively listen/watch a podcast.

I bought this at Target for $16 last week. Now if only I could time my investments this well 😆

I just completed all of the verification methods. I'm sure my halo will take some time to go through. I must say, even being as tech savvy as I am, that was a very involved process. I also had never used Coinbase before. Understanding swap gas fees took some time. And KYC is, and always will be profoundly annoying 🥸

Great writeup. I totally agree with remix and transformation being a net positive back to the original creator. However, until we have legal change, to allow sharing you *must* have some form of open license agreement. Without it, anyone who remixes is vulnerable to lawsuits if the rights-owner ever changes their mind!

I've been investigating Teslas lately. What's insane to me is I haven't found a recent owner who hasn't recommended it. IRL or online, I've only heard positive things. Even from people who dislike Elon... They still like his cars. This overwhelming positivity has me considering it in the future.

My scifi dream is using a computer that isn't slow. I hope they invent one of those someday.

Is there a 40 letter German word for a depressed nihilist who has nothing to live for, but who is also very concerned about surviving the coming apocalypse?

As a long time watcher of streams and occasional streamer, this is very cool. But, I must say, "Streamm" is a very unrecognizable name. I can't imagine this project going far without stronger branding.

Reposting this to force myself to read it later. It sounds like what I've been preaching for years.

If I was writing a book with a "sufficiently decentralized" IP, would that interest you?
