You'd rather be surfing waves than social media.

We could spend hours describing what makes Murmel so great. We could tell you about its powerful aggregation and indexing algorithms. Or, we could speak at length about our mission to fight disinformation and fake news.

We value your time. That's why decided to give you a sneak peak instead.

All Murmel users have their own private home page showing results, tailored to their tastes and interests. Results will look something like the ones below.
When a result gets popular among the people one follows on Twitter, it will appear right at the top. Additionally, we take into account the recency of the shared content, therefore one only gets the most relevant information.
Not bad, heh? Have a look at the feed below.

"With no changes to how the industry operates and no watchdogs to check the abuse and greed that have defined it over its now-15 years of existence, we are doomed to see history repeat itself. More Bankman-Frieds will emerge to take his place, drawn by the promise of easy money and the low likelihood of consequences."

The reality is that Crypto is a scam. There is no way to fix it. What we need to figure out is how to stop it. I would have thought it should be through regulation, but it is happening too slowly. Instead we are just seeing new variations of the theme. The next Crypto, NFT idea that supposedly this time is for the good and not a scam. How long is this going to continue?

The 6 migrant men who died weren't drug dealers or sex traffickers but hero dads filling potholes to give their kids a better life.

Vernor Vinge says that when the Singularity happens, it will be "very obvious"

gizmodo.com · Mar 28

Last summer I had the pleasure of meeting one of my literary heroes, the author and futurist Vernor Vinge. He'd just published Children of the Sky, his long-awaited sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep, and we had a chance to talk about that book as well as some of the other novels in his Zones of Thou...

I am so sad to hear that we have lost Vernor Vinge, whose work was a tremendous inspiration to me. I once had the pleasure of interviewing him, and he was quite surprised when I told him that his characters in Rainbows End were a highlight. He thought of himself as a worldbuilder, but unbeknownst to himself, he was sometimes an author of truly nuanced character studies. gizmodo.com/vernor-vinge-says-
