I am an engineer who is building the next small book library . I travel the world to meet and live with people of interest to gather feedback.
I don't choose who, the Library has a destiny for itself.
Some call me crazy, I probably am - if taking the current tiktok generation as a base to compare me with.
D Library - 100% decentralized operating on the D.Licence (pun intended).
Currently working on a solidity upgrade for a leader-board, and public analytics.
D-Safe for children, adults and plants. I am looking for contributors to integrate it on https://internet-in-a-box.org .
No worries, I'll do it myself if everyone is busy.

Oh my memory is no good ! Ahaha, there was this tennis game I was playing. Or maybe because it was flash back in the days - I remember the "security" that the App store has always been complaining about, security to their business model, ye?
Cause flash was proper good back then to make games.
Good day!
This is an ancient memory from 2002, I remember I played on that website back then, while I was learning PHP & MySQL (Lamp stack basically).
Was it you?
You are so full of judgmental behavior, envy is probably driving your ego.
Have you read the subtle art of not giving a fuck? - you are a perfect example of what happens when someone achieve their goal. They feel empty, with nothing to do. Sad And alone. https://markmanson.net/not-giving-a-fuck
Now you need to find yourself a new purpose. Only you can find it, maybe that can help: figure out that plants are the top of the food chain, and the more we treat them well... the most fun we have around them! Explore the spiritual world, help others who haven't been as lucky as you, be hurt, and heal again, that's life man.
*You could join me in a suicide/impossible mission to save the world, but i doubt you will - nobody is mad enough to follow me in this endeavour.
Looking for a top tech team - where most of the engineers are senior, with no need for leadership.

I am working on an open book Library and a "new" D-Licence.
It is an experiment for the exploration of the free aspect of blockchain storage, where the book library is now permanently hosted on the blockchain, and it's content voted upon by its members.
The licence is based on creative commons, and enforces that the data is decentralized and doesn't need any account, or wallet, to use.
There is also the creation of a new label, the D-Safe label, for a safe experience across generations.
A fun side project - which I have been working on for several years now - rewriting it fully already 10 times - and been restructuring my mental health around it.
Hey man, it is an amazing idea. I have been thinking to build something similar.
I am building reading clubs for my custom library - on top of crypto tech, and in the process, I have experimented with several book reader tech. pdf.js, muPDF and some other tools, which one did you settle on?

It is hard,
If you go solo, you will need to find a mission that you are ready to die for, and put all your energy and savings into it.
I started doing that 3 years ago, and I am struggling financially, but I feel better looking myself in the mirror.
I believe this is where you get that view from the most optimistic side... Although I agree with you - election is all about electing the best Con man / woman , most decision are made behind closed door - government agency often have high responsibility non elected director - which is all about talk and politics.
I have myself - worked for several short term governmental contract - observed that the person at the top of the food chain in those department - don't get elected - and are often totally incompetent technically speaking. But are great at talking and doing politics. Anyone making them some shadow - or going against the established narrative quickly gets dismissed. They choose to promote ass suckers - because it makes their internal political life easier.
Once they get the seat - it is for life, they won't get fired - unless they get caught doing something really offensive, such as sexual abuse - or money laundering. But they won't get fired for making obvious mistakes...
And of course, they often have to promote the most incompetent individual - when promotion is due...
Maybe I didn't got lucky, and got to always land on that ** contract - but of what I have talked around - and observed in human nature + logic deduction, I believe this is pretty much everywhere the same.
Interesting though!
I would gladly attribute it to stupidity if I logically could.
However - it takes quite some skills to get at the top of the food chain - I wouldn't classify physical attributes - like being a dumb athlete, good at running marathons while wearing corporate outfits - as a requirement - to fill- up those leadership roles.
Actuality quite the opposite - I would guess that someone - to get to that positions - has to demonstrate a tremendous tenacity and cunning capabilities - so they can convince they are better, stronger and more capable to take decisions - while not holding a basic degree (or even experience) in the area they are designated to lead.
Mostly exception - where you would see a minister of transport - having any experience on how to change a Tyre, a minister of health - being in good health - with at least 3 doctorates in medicine, psychology and philosophy.... Those exception are so little - that it is fair to say that it is pure con skills that get those people in position of power.
I am talking about scientific conspiracies....
MRNA - for example - could be an effective plan to reduce the population quite effectively, by making sure that every year, there is 10% of 20-30 years old excess death... (real numbers so far across 2022 and 2023)
So when I was finishing high school in 1995, I was already reading alarming reports about that matter, with scientists forecasting a 1degree C increase in the next 100 year. That I could prove by looking french articles in internet archive, but I feel lazy...
So 30 years later, it's been 1.5 deg Celsius. And it's getting much closer to collapse - like... real close. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/05/climate-...
They have been obviously a bitt too optimistic in their estimate.
Now let's play a game of conspiration theory...
Maybe 30 years ago, some lobby decided they'd make some more money by scewing the report ... ( because they can - and also - because those who could lobby - couldn't care less about their children's future... 30 years was at that time enough time to enjoy life on their own agenda ).
Reducing population is their goal - so when shit hits the fan - and the gulf stream dies - which would trigger an immediate ice age - there would be enough food for all survivors - so it doesn't become Zombie Land - where we all run around with an axe - for food ... and to keep warm.
After MRNA engineered to slowly decrease population over a decade - just in case it is 2035 instead of 2025.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ej5Se4gMRA
Or just making plan for a Nuclear (who got the longest p3ni5) competition to raise the global temperature by a few degree...
What's the maddest conspiration theory you guys can think off?
