 unfortunately they will also remove the game after a while. not cool 
 I’m at peace with the fact that I’m not a (professional) farmer anymore -
 hopefully I’m still one at heart. This was something I knew was coming 
for more than two years now, and that has given me enough time to 
process everything. In the meantime I’ve already had the pleasure to 
experience the life of a normal person, one who works for a wage. And 
this has also lead to some interesting conclusions.

 Apple has a 81 second video about how they make their new "Apple Vision Pro". I'm very happy to report that there's hardly any humans in there - maybe 3 seconds total of hands being shown. Everything else is just pure Machine. I like this kind of honest marketing. 
 They also have another video called "A Guided Tour of Apple Vision Pro". Almost 10 minutes, but I only watched the first minute or so. Couldn't help but laugh when one of the actors exclaims, very excited "You can see my eyes????" So glad for this technological breakthrough. 
 Apple is always at the forefront of any trend, even when the trend is really old ;-) 
 "This failure of the institutions we have to provide us with even a 
modicum of moral guidance about our relationship with the Machine is one
 of the greatest tragedies of our times." https://blog.assilvestrar.club/posts/reflections-on-a-suburban-train/ 
 How much space is your #nostr  server taking at the moment? Do you have a threshold policy? 
 109MB, seems like. A bit surprised, guess I will have to configure some kind of purge eventually 
 Good morning fellow plebs, a new version of coracle awaits. Lots of quality-of-life improvements,... 
 Is there a way to check which version I'm running? I'm using coracle as a PWA, and I've forced the update - so I'm pretty sure I'm running the latest version now; but it would still be nice to have a way to check. Very nice app btw :-) 
 Einstein is credited with saying "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." He clearly has never worked with computers. Then again, maybe this is the confirmation that we live in insane times. 
 If we want to get technical, yes, some software - but given how prevalent that "some software" is, it's pretty much synonymous with computers nowadays :-)

 That's probably his main modus operandi, yes. But he should have other tools in his arsenal I guess
