Unfortunately, as long as there is some potential profit to be made by normies on crypto, it probably won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Though to give Bitcoin some of the (marketing) credit, we get Blockchain, DEFIs, DAOs and soon

Arch isn't just simple, it is smart too. With alpm-hooks [0], it is possible to run specific commands pre or post-install/upgrade of packages. E.g re-sign secure UKIs with my keys after the intel-ucode package updates. This exampl

That makes no sense at all. I didn't join Twitter just to read the CEO's tweets.

It matters to me that my digital data (PII or not) is not tracked aimlessly and sold to 3rd parties without my consent. So, I use a VPN because I don't trust my ISP. I use LineageOS with microG because I don't trust the phone manu
