I get like 7-8 spam texts and calls a day from numbers within my own state. I suspect that something like hashcash or adding some small fee (like $1, that is returned to the spender if the recipient doesn't reply "STOP") woul

That plan, if implemented, may last as short as 1 election cycle. All political progress will inevitably be undone. In contrast, technological change will forever alter the balance of power. What we should be asking is "Instead of pat

I always thought that would make more sense. Reminds me of some flavor text from the game Cruelty Squad: Ticker: BRN Name: Brain Description: Raw material used by the AI industry https://crueltysquad.fandom.com/wiki/Par

>Candace Owens's content about the Blake Lively / Justin Baldoni saga, just like many followed certain creators with the Amber Heard trial. No offense, but this just sounds like gossip

I suppose, but you could say the same about bank transfers in the west

The problem I think is with the bank. They don't give you a way to authorize a single payment or authenticate yourself without just giving away total access to your funds. It should be like cryptocurrency where there is a separation of

I never buy into artificial scarcity when the product can be mass produced. If you really want it, just wait for the trend to die out

$50 is decent enough for the case alone. The penguin may not be disgraced yet, I wonder if you can boot linux on it. I know gentoo and a lot of other distros support powerpc

It's a reference to a movie called "Empire of Dust" where a chinese-led team has a hard time building infrastructure in Africa. Whether or not some third world country is worth developing is an economic question, not a moral

I was looking at potential linux phones the other day, postmarketOS has ports for phones as new as fairphone 4 and OnePlus 6. They don't have any phones with decent camera support though. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/w

It's more like 2017 era technology done at a very small scale with massive markup (I think they mention it costs them like $650 to produce). They don't have the scale needed to access the latest chips.
