If you are on Ubuntu you could install from Canonical‘s snap repo hosted by Canonical and not MS.

Wanted to update my Teams on Ubuntu 20 in the morning (after coming to office after months working from home) and had the same issue. Removed the package and installed it from snap. Works like charm so far.

Wallets got better and are more standardized (private seed generation according to BIP-39, for example). DeFi DApps have happened in the past four years allowing you to easily invest and spent your cryptos from your browser. Stable coins an

Well, the concept of holding cash and gold at home is easier than managing a private key. But as soon as you want your money to work i.e. earn interests or invest it, crypto currencies are easier to work with. I mean, you can literally depo

So why can’t banks provide higher yields with simple savings accounts? If it’s got nothing to do with federal fund rates or middle men? Here in Europe banks are entering an existential crisis as the ECB maintains zero and negative interest

Because an index tracker exposes you to the risk of falling indices. Using a solid stable coin (DAI) and earning yield using an established lending platform (Compound or AAVE) or liquidity pool (Curve) does not. However, these new financial

One of the reasons why the yields are higher for stable coins is they are not bound by central banks‘ interest rates. This is especially true for purely synthetic stable coins (DAI, sUSD, sEUR) because they don’t even need to be backed by t

The Guardian is an English newspaper with a political agenda on the left side of the spectrum. So articles like this serve to support a narrative its readers feel comfortable with. Similar to Fox News.

Exactly. Corporations as individuals respond to incentives. The cause of this situation is exactly the presence of high corporate taxes in many countries which multinationals can game.

There shouldn’t be „corporate taxes“. They tend to be difficult to collect, troublesome to declare and actually can not contribute much to national budgets. Think about it: Employees of multinational companies pay billions of income tax. Cu

This behavior can all be explained with the threat the Russian state still poses to the neighboring Scandinavian countries. If I were a small country afraid of a larger one I would also try to find me a big brother. We can only hope that P

The real challenge is running F-Zero GX. I’d love to see some benchmarks for this game — the hardest game to emulate.
