I love owning a pitull, it’s a legal way to perform fourth trimester abortions

How is clamping down on the freedom companies have to make plastic cheese, and the freedom for people to buy it… Libertarian?

Isn’t that pretty authoritarian?

Yeah!

Now hopefully they can enable HDR video playback within the next few years (bug open for 5 years at this point)

It’s not related to secure boot (I have that disabled) it’s related to nouveu drivers not supporting the 4090 (yet)

Well… Say that to my live USB I tried booting off of a machine with a very modern nVidia card. I had to create a new boot entry to disable nouveau and install nVidia proprietary graphics into a persistent partition.

I understand nVidia is shit, and doesn’t play nice with others. But my point is - it’s not always that easy. (I thought it would be! I lost many hours, and pulled out lots of hair!)

What gets me really excited is the idea of messaging in low internet connectivity areas (aeroplanes (to someone else on the plane)) on the subway/underground

The idea of Bluetooth/WiFi direct mesh, with “internet gateway” devices (maybe those people are rewarded in some way)

In this dream of mine, people can communicate, send data, through non ideal internet conditions (maybe one person on an aeroplane has internet, and they are the gateway for others)

There may be some relay servers running on AWS or whatever, but people could also run their own relays (I guess all devices are a relay)

I’ve tried to get this working myself, using a library called “reticulum” I found in GitHub (good library, but I couldn’t get Bluetooth/WiFi mesh working)

I’m not seeing any WiFi direct/Bluetooth mesh capability with Simplex

It looks like a p2p messenger - which is cool, but that’s not what tickles my pickle

TradFi has a few wealthy individuals that control banking

You say PoS is an oligarchy, but it still offers anyone to participate in markets they previously were unable to. For example, providing liquidity and getting a cut of transaction fees - this is something TradFi has a monopoly on, but now everyday people can get a cut. You’re right that people with more money will have a bigger cut - but it’s still more equal than TradFi

I think I tired Briar, but I either couldn’t get it working on android or on iOS

You’re partially correct with some of these points.

Theatge amount of energy you mention is really only relevant to proof of work. You’ve mentioned proof of stake etc - so you should know that. The energy requirements for “proof” techniques such as PoS is negligible

Reversing transactions are ‘hard’/infesable - and so in a way they do help scammers - but I think it’s a false equivalence. It helps everyone. In my mind it’s like says “encryption helps terrorists”, that may be true, but it helps us all.

Regarding on chain transaction transparency, there are some chains that are like this (bitcoin), and there are some chains that are not (monero). There’s also ways to anonymise transactions through mixers etc if you do care about that. Although, I don’t know of anyone that gets their salary into their crypto wallet.

Overall, regulation is slow! But it’s getting there. I don’t think crpyto will solve all of.humans problems, but I might just help with some. It’s going to be interesting seeing how it all plays out - people thought it was going to be here and gone in a year, but it’s been over a decade now.

My mouth waters at the idea of decentralised, infrastructure-less, encrypted, p2p, mesh messaging

Thanks for pointing me towards Berty!

Playing audio to the sleeper while doing an ECG

Oh no, it gets better…

Imagine a hard day’s work, 16 hours of slogging while you’re awake

You get home, eat something and then head to bed. You put on your headband and select some setting on your phone and then drift off to sleep.

Now you are working your third job, while you sleep. Solving captchas. A/b testing app logo designs. Completing surveys on products you’ve bought while you’re awake.

Stuff that AI will never be able to do because the value is from being human. And yet is simple enough to do in your sleep.

You wake up with a few less cents in your overdraft and you’re ready to start a brand new day…

RIP to all the homies that didn’t make it

If only there was something that could be done about it

He do what what a snoop do

Wish granted! Humans are no longer born with spinal vertebrae

Yeah that’s it, they hate money

A good time to buy cushion manufacturing stocks!

(that’s a lot of cushions!)
