Not arguing any of that. Bitcoin is not very useful as a currency. But I trust bitcoin as a concept more than I trust USD, which is currently being devalued/inflated in favor of the stock market, solely for the gain of people who are m

Be honest now, there's no way you can honestly claim that Element is a good UI/UX. I'd love it to be the other way around but it's just plain and simply bad. At least on all MacOS combos I've tried - native client a

It unfortunately lightyears behind being smooth UI/UX-wise. I'd love to like it but it's just atrocious to use.

Let's add in Mattermost. Have you used both? I remember trying Zulip briefly one evening and it just felt horribly confusing. Mattermost feels more at home but its threading model is weird, it's not really threading (at least like

This is pretty much how I interpret it as well, in regards to trust. One detail Schneier misses though is: > Honestly, cryptocurrencies are useless. They’re only used by speculators looking for quick riches, people who don’t like governm

Not too many people seem to be commenting on the UI but the Big Sur "improvements" were one of the main things that made me look into going back to Linux, researching how to replace my current MacOS workflow. The UI changes are ju

"Luckily" I recently bought a 2015 MBP (to replace my 2015 Air) and had been set to move to Linux next. Now this recent news make me want to reconsider.

Most of the machines that run the world don't run on electricity, but oil. An easy to build open-source pocket sized fusion reactor would be nice.

Sure, fair enough. But then again those coalitions aren't generally static, but formed around circumstances, and thus don't necessarily create the same kind of blind team mentality that we see in sports for example. And the partie
