I'm now adding to the end of all my tech advice: These statements were not reviewed by my employer, the FDA, or anyone who calls themselves a developer, and should not be followed without further research.

SELF ID
@SELFIDhq19 Dec 2025
SELF is deploying Agent DIDs on Bitcoin. Your Agent DID is cryptographic proof of your SELF, the root identity for all your verifiable credentials. Built on the only network strong enough to guarantee permanence and resist censorship. Your identity. Your keys. Your sovereignty.

Imagine a world where you own your identity, not Big Tech. One digital wallet. Your verified credentials. Instant access to banking, investing, healthcare, education, without repeating KYC 47 times. No more: ❌ Password fatigue ❌ Data breaches ❌ Privacy compromises ❌ Weeks-long verification delays With SELF, you aggregate verifiable credentials and DIDs that unlock a frictionless financial ecosystem and secure access across the entire internet. Your identity. Your control. Your future. The self-sovereign web isn't coming. We're building it. #DecentralizedIdentity #Web3 #DID #SelfSovereignIdentity #SELF

🧵 AI can now clone your voice in 3 seconds, recreate your face in real-time, and write in your style. So how do you prove you're actually... you? The bad answer: Give your biometric data to a company and hope they keep it safe. There's a better way. (1/8)

Recently a lot more spam has been coming in from @gmail. In the latest, they didn't even bother to remove the context from their upstream spam generation. @Google do y'all give a fuck at all that spammers are flocking to gmail?

@MermaidChart I emailed you on Feb 21 and received a boilerplate reply that day. It's been over a month since then with no response.

Blockchains aren’t meant to be silos. But most still operate that way—especially when it comes to identity. What if your KYC, creditworthiness, or transaction history from one app could actually travel with you across an entire ecosystem? Here’s how decentralized identity changes the game 🧵

Should I be suspicious that my RX 6700 XT, which has run with zero issues for years, has started behaving erratically within a month of the latest GPU release?

Tell me that's not a leg hook.
