- Comment on What is the General Consensus of Web3? 6 months ago:
But people aren't using the web the same way they were at inception. These big companies have built closed source, centralized systems on top of the decentralized infrastructure to serve new use-cases that weren't envisioned in the original standards. People like these new use-cases, so we need new standards, etc., to facilitate a re-decentralization of data and features in these new use-cases if we want the most used parts of the web to maintain their openness.
I don't think it's fair to lay the blame on the common user for the centralization of their data, when only the centralized systems have been providing the capabilities they want until very recently (where the open alternatives have arisen partly because of new standards like ActivityPub).
- Comment on Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny? 6 months ago:
Not a line, but I saw Matrix: Revolutions in theater on opening weekend. During the 1-on-1 fight with Smith in the rain, there's a slow-motion shot of Neo punching Smith in the face. It's such bad CGI the entire theater burst into laughter. I'm pretty sure it was intended to be dramatic, but after seeing the latest Matrix movie and how tongue-in-cheek it is about itself, I'm not entirely sure anymore.

Cut the extra inch off the long side to get a 4" square, then cut the remaining 1" x 4" piece into 4 1" squares. The boy never said the squares had to be the same size.
If the triangles have already been cut, it's a peanut butter sandwich: use peanut butter on the edges to glue it back together and cut the squares. The child gave you a challenge, think outside the box!
