No. Beanie Babies can be mass produced at will. And so can Tulips for that matter. That's why those are bubbles that will burst. The whole thing that makes Bitcoin special is that you can't just ramp up the supply of it. The suppl

If your backend and frontend engineers are that bad at communicating the api then you probably already have a lot of security problems to begin with.

The bikeshedding over snap vs flatpack by some people is a huge drain on any conversations on Ubuntu these days. Snaps work fine. Flatpack works fine. Both solve real problems that people have that the old ways of doing packages didn't
