The key feature is that there’s a mechanism that limits supply. Other than that, value only exists because enough people agree that it has value. Fiat currency is exactly the same in this regard.
I think your questions indicate that you don’t have sufficient understanding of how “ordinary” money works. It’s just a promise of being able to exchange it for goods & services in the future, and its value hinges on people trusting that promise.
If you’ve never seen whoever approves the budget for that, you also will not be updating to Java 21
I keep my git clone in Dropbox so I can revert accidental delete and always have the most recent code on all devices without having to remember to commit and push. If it requires manual execution I wouldn’t really consider it a proper backup solution.
If you’re into doing these kinds of projects I wholeheartedly recommend Sebastian Lague’s YouTube channel. Each video is a new project and it is presented in an accessible and inspiring way.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a random line from a movie that fans of it will instantly know?
27·1 year ago“Nice beaver!”
“Thank you! I just had it stuffed.”

Until your toddler presses it and the OS just tosses all the work that you didn’t save yet. It’s good with a safeguard, and Windows will eventually force shut down after a timeout.

The answer to your title is yes, it is unhealthy.

It’s AI but a specific use case of AI: an android at home to take care of the housework. Cleaning my dishes, doing the laundry, vaccuming and putting stuff away where it belongs are obvious use cases. But also:
- Go through your fridge and throw away everything that has expired or gone bad.
- Take care of your cat while you’re away on vacation.
- It’s your personal fire fighter.
- It paints your house or does any kind of house maintenance.
- Let’s say you’re in the middle of playing a board game on your dinner table but need to put it away for the night. Ask the android to memorize everything and put it away. The next time your friends come around to play, it can place everything in exactly the same spot.
Possibilities are endless.
This is the key to so much. Worried about Nestlé monopolizing freshwater? With nuclear fusion we can just take any old seawater and remove the salt. Worried about the war with Russia? With nuclear fusion we can become independent of all gas from Russia and cut off one of their biggest income sources. Lots of special materials are expensive because electricity is expensive - with nuclear fusion electricity is practically free. Over time we can get rid of any coal plants etc. that produce CO2.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Turns out that making Google search unusable was an intentional strategy by the company.
2·1 year agoI’m 100% convinced their internal testing is flawed and possibly suffers from confirmation bias. The strategy might work for a couple of years but in the long term they are killing their brand. Once the masses start migrating to other search engines, Google will be beyond rescue.
Guess it’s time to start thinking about Android and Chromecast alternatives because when Google becomes desperate they will turn everything they touch into shit.

Technology@beehaw.org•Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive
1·1 year agoI think such projects don’t exist precisely because Mozilla is still developing it. If Mozilla abandons Firefox then someone else will take up the torch.

Technology@beehaw.org•Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive
3·1 year agoI believe the Firefox development organization could be a lot leaner, and not all of the work has to be directly salaried. There are plenty of huge open source projects that are progressing fine without being run by a single for-profit company. E.g. the Apache ecosystem, the Linux foundation projects, FreeBSD, etc.

Unfortunately some developer tools fail to work correctly in separate worktrees. I used them for a while but had to give them up. For example, Maven’s release plugin cannot reliably create tags / branches if you’re in a separate worktree.
