There are many crypto ATMs that accept cash up to a transaction limit.

Sounds like a great mistake for Google to find a way to repeat. Why innovate when you can abuse users and hide behind "complexity" as "plausible deniability"? You'll all keep using them either way.

Are there newer numbers?

I use wormhole, warp, etc. They are available on many platforms with FOSS licenses with very limited centralization.

You can go to an ATM and purchase a coin and use a DEX to convert almost instantly.

Very intersting. A compression strategy that uses the model itself as the dictionary.

Nope, those are BTC transactions using Lightning. It was rolled out relatively recently but is live.

X as a platform is dead. It's all bots and engagement farming. Just disengage.

Ollama works very well in Linux on my AMD hardware. I have a 6800 XT which isn't even originally supported by the ROCm stack in some ways and it "just works" for a ton of very nice models, especially if I seek out quantized v

I am so confused at why people are doing this. I mean, are they just doing it "for the lols" or are they raking in suckers from the gaming communities? I keep a voice button bound to toggle on and off all comms, also known as a &q

There are also a lot of men with voice changers in CS2 now, for whatever reason. I have been playing a few times and then the "girl" cuts their voice changer and starts yelling at some guy hitting on her, etc. Very strange to witn

People are downvoting you, but I can literally pay for my meal using CashApp at a diner in the middle of nowhere using Bitcoin.

Ads would never be used for malware either, thankfully.

I have been making GTK applications so that people can manage MergerFS and LUKS encrypted hard drives without knowing how to be a sysadmin. The use case is kind of neat. RAID is great and can mostly solve these problems, but people don&#x27

Use DeArrow, it allows you to avoid most of that clickbait farming.

Yes, the phone market is bad. But, you know you don't have to do everything in a phone, right? Want to take pictures? Use a camera. If it somehow auto updates your photos are still on an SD card. I get convenience has led everyone to e

I would also argue the counterpoint : why are the local markets adopting things that are barely functional to them? As a comparison, if all Vietnamese people had three feet and three arms, would they all be walking around with two left and

We're so far down this path the language around the problem is distorted. Ownership has been perverted and the only thing you control is the bill.

I feel bad for the guy and all the Apple users constantly sharing stories of being mistreated and abused. Stop giving these companies your money and consent. I'm basically numb to it at this point though. Every few days we read on this

The negative view of this and framing that it will be abandoned is interesting. France has already transitioned over 100,000 of their machines from Windows to Linux for their police force. They run a modified version of Ubuntu. Yes, it took

by ddtaylor 6mo ago
The amount of money and time wasted because people want to run Windows is staggering. There are organizations and governments running tens of thousands of machines, having highly sensitive data stolen, and much worse and paying for that &qu

One more reason to use Linux packages and tools in the repository.

As a KDE developer I can say that there are times that we have done things differently or taken the long road because we wanted to support Plasma Mobile. It would have just been better to continue doing the desktop specific things and let t

I still maintain some Launchpad packages and recipes. It's an insanely archaic system and borderline non-functional. I wouldn't wish it upon most.

That is half the problem. They often introduce neat ideas, but then fail or refuse to integrate them with he rest of the FOSS ecosystem. Then anyone who subscribes to their experiment is left cleaning up the mess and trying to migrate the f

I'm fine with a company getting things wrong from time to time. What I don't like is the attitude where they walk into the room and start moving the furniture around while smugly dismissing or ignoring talented and established peo

Things improved a lot with Gnome over the years, but as a fellow Gnome 2 user the initial release of 3 and the following years were a real kick in the teeth. Things have improved, but the overall Gnome Foundation attitude hasn't improv

Snap is a terrible. It's the reason why I stopped using Debian based distros after decades for desktop usage. Lying to users and turning apt install commands into shims for a barely functional replacement was disrespectful. Flatpak was

by ddtaylor 6mo ago
Correct, and I used bzr quite a bit during that time. It was interesting in some ways, but Canonical pushed it for many years after git was obviously the better choice. Even to this day there is a complex and archaic process of using Laun

Sadly, KDE and Gnome each spent a lot of time on the same things. Plasma Mobile has ate more time that could have went into making Plasma a better desktop.
