You might be able to do just that after this Apple/Epic ruling. That's kind of why NFTs/digital ownership is so exciting. You might be able to buy or sell your dances on any store you want to and use them in the game.

Yeah, that's the only spot. Literally just an "and" next to Bitcoin when talking about electricity usage. No mention of what it does, what's currently being built, or the use cases people are using today. I guess that do

An article about blockchain where the thesis is that it doesn't solve any problems and it doesn't even mention Ethereum? This article is extremely poorly researched (maybe on purpose) and reads like clickbait.

Sia seems like a Dropbox/OneDrive replacement whereas Filecoin is an incentivized storage layer infrastructure for apps to use, especially dapps. If you wanted to build a decentralized SoundCloud you couldn't use Sia but IPFS&#x2F

Note that there is no open source version of Android TV like there is for phones. You can't just throw on a custom ROM with the modifications you want. This was a purposeful choice by Google to enable anti-features like this and preven

I have to assume you're not trolling but those are some impressive mental gymnastics my friend. If Apple allowed sideloading then you're experience would be 100% identical. You would have the freedom to continue using the App Stor

People are perfectly free to use Apple App Store and stay free from viruses and have a nice curated environment. Nothing changes for them if you allow sideloading. The ONLY change is that you have the OPTION to run software Apple doesn&#x27

My post is being downvoted and I have no idea why. I didn't say anything against the rules and wasn't being annoying I don't think. I guess this topic is too political for discussion.

This is a highly technical forum so I really think all of the "Apple is within their rights to determine what software users can run" folks should think about how they would feel if Windows could only run software that Microsoft p

A choice between "Allowing your users to use your software" and "Nobody can use your software" is not really a choice at all. Even the mob gives you a choice, so maybe they aren't so bad after all?

This is a naive take on the situation. Sure they are both companies and looking to make money but this issue transcends both of them and is a core freedom of choice issue. As a society are we allowed to run software that we want or are we o

More people in the world use mobile devices than PCs by a huge margin. These two corporations essentially decide what apps humanity is allowed to use and how all software and services are built. That is a lot of power and it shouldn't

"providing the distribution platform" is an extremely charitable way of saying "forcing developers to relinquish control of their software to Apple and pay a tax for the privilege". Apple is not the good guy here. They a

Apple doesn't allow third-party web browsers on iOS and Safari doesn't have a good track record of supporting new web APIs and standards, so making a successful streaming app might be possible but it'd be a precarious project

In this case the economic conditions are a monopoly so competition is impossible. That's why regulations exist, they fix market failures.

I do vote but I also live in a gerrymandered district so my representative is pre-chosen for me. I also live in a non-battleground state where essentially my president is pre-chosen as well. My vote actually doesn't matter much at all.

There are multiple decentralized stablecoins out there. DAI is the most well known and works pretty well. sUSD also works well. mStable is the best of both worlds and uses both decentralized and centralized stablecoins in a basket to form a

These posts always seem to focus on Bitcoin which of course is easy to dismiss and isn't likely to make any major changes anytime soon. If you want to talk about a financial network and something end users would actually use then artic

I don't know what you mean. Maybe you just don't pay attention? A few years ago transactions were limited to 15 transactions per second, today there are multiple ways to achieve thousands of transactions per second[1]. A few years

I doubt many people have a moral quandary over torrenting. It's like video games with the ease of use of Steam and how game piracy is no longer a big problem since it's easier to just buy them, if there was a simple one-stop shop

Yeah, this will probably be integrated with AZTEC or some kind of zk scheme before it becomes a full mainnet protocol due to the risky nature of torrents.
