The best sovereign tech fund would be a robust commitment to 'public money, public code'. To think how many sponsored features in LibreOffice, GIMP, Nextcloud,... could be paid for by the money that the governments of the world ar

That's actually correct: https://awsm-tools.com/keyboard-layout?form%5Bfrom%5D=dvorak... Impressive. This could legitimately have been tricky a puzzle on some Easter egg hunt, even for nerds.

Would be interesting how they work technically. The linked pdf mentions an EMV chip, which I assume is some sort of TEE. Other than creating recipient-specific one-time vouchers online, I can't think of a way to do offline payments wit

I'm on a similar page. I try to set things up so that as many things as possible are regular files in my folder structure, which I then sync across devices. In my experience those are the only files I can rely on being able to retrieve

Sounds like you're not using something like Nextcloud (which should cover all your bases it seems). Any particular reason, any experiences you want to share?

Do you know how it works in other places where planes get built, eg Europe, Brazil? The incumbents on both sides will always tell you that there's no other way things could be done. Looking at how they get done elsewhere seems like a g

We've had markets for all sorts of domestic help for centuries before we had computers. Perhaps more relatable, think about how your parents might have found such help.

Ah ok, sounds like a smarter way to do it. How hackable would you say is it, eg to register your own NFC chips? It seems like a nice platform.

CDs degrade pretty fast. I know people with CD collections that are basically unplayable now. And the typical plastic cases don't even make for nice shelf deco like books or paper-based vinyl cases.

You can model multiple-hop dependencies as a Markov chain by just blowing up the state space as a Cartesian product. Not that that would necessarily make sense in practice, but in theory Markov chains have enormous expressive power.

I can see the point re internal market vs export orientation. But why make the housing market the focal point of wealth creation? Wouldn't the stock market be a much more overall beneficial place to let your population accumulate wealt

You might want to check Firefox' telemetry settings if you care about privacy. Or you can use Librewolf, it's an extension-compatible FF fork with privacy turned on.

Not just the Plasma desktop, there is a lot of KDE software that works well even outside of the KDE desktop, and some of it is really excellent. I find Kate to be a criminally underrated editor for example. It never comes up in VSCode vs vi

I'd say it's more like they're sending around csv tables in the body of emails and then writing VBA scripts to copy them into Excel. In that case, yeah, I might mention that there are better ways to do it.
