This is why crypto needs to collapse sooner rather than later. To minimize the self harm.

It’s not taboo. It’s basically pointless. You cannot trade the Ruble. So any discussion about what price it trades at isn’t even academic. It’s pointless.

Home values are also highly illiquid. For most people, they can’t just sell off their homes if they need money, because they still need a place to live, which means they are buying another house at a similar elevated rate. What that leads t

USCIS famously sent a whole bunch of RFCs to people renewing their work authorizations in 2021 because a bag of application fee checks was untouched in a corner of a basement. And the RFC meant delays that compounded existing delays, which

Now let’s put that in the Coinbase marketing and see what happens… “Invest in Crypto, by giving us $100 with which we will buy $100 worth of BTC that we own.” How is that not weird and who would follow a QR code on their TV ago “Invest in c

This makes, no sense at all? Somebody opened a $4.2Bn short position on BTC, and spent $1Bn buying UST, on the theory that them unwinding their $1Bn purchase would cause the backers of UST to sell $1Bn in BTC which would somehow result in m

and this is why cryptocurrencies as marketed today are a scam. Sure, Twitter will “accept” Dogecoin. But the only reason people have Dogecoin is because they expect its value to rise, and rise dramatically. So why would anyone pay for whate

This is a great point. When logging onto the internet meant no one could make phone calls you spent 30-45 mins on AIM, caught up with your online friends, sometimes worked hard to sound funny and clever, had a great time, and then found som

Chat roulette was random. Chat roulette was not pushing the dick streams to more people because it was getting the highest engagement. If you wanted to watch terrorists sever a head you had to at the very least search for it (it was usually

What do you think they’re doing in text apps? Why do you think Facebook bought WhatsApp Sure, your WhatsApp conversations are end to end encrypted. Except if you’re in a group conversation. Or if you have the on by default backup turned on.

None of this explains the global prevalence of this phenomenon. Everything you’ve mentioned is highly limited to the US. Asian countries, for example, have been reducing pressure on kids in terms of schooling and exams over the past decade

I don’t see Apple claiming remote working is not good in general. They just don’t believe remote working is good for them. And again, Turkey creating great drones does not require them to believe war is good. This is a pretty straightforwar

They aren’t being fired for having different opinions. They are being fired for (a) essentially explicitly stating they are not gonna do a good job working in the way the company thinks its employees should be working (b) trying to get the

Just because a tool is great for working remotely does not mean remote working is good. Turkey marketing its drones as great for war does not mean Turkey is being hypocritical for saying that war isn’t good.

I think Fedora is way underrated. They let Gnome do it’s thing in terms of the look and feel, and focus on bringing other tech into the desktop fold. They did this with Wayland, Flatpak and Pipewire, bringing them into a major stable distri

They did it so they wouldn’t collapse financially. And probably lose all licenses and privileges to make trades for the foreseeable future, ending them as a company.

This is not correct. Masks don’t work like a sieve, where everything that is smaller than the gaps slips through. ie filtering. At the sizes we’re talking about, it’s not filtering that is the most effective form of keeping out/in part

This. If Mozilla was so keen on snaps of their own accord why wouldn’t they be pushing other distros to also pack it up as a snap and/or Flatpak.

by thawaya3113 4y ago
I don’t think there are any distros that are pushing Flatpak as the ultimate solution the way Ubuntu is snaps. Ubuntu’s aggressive approach with snaps would have been bad enough if snaps were the perfect desktop app solution. It’s a lot mor

I’m guessing Snaps are great for what they were designed. IOT devices. They are good for server installations as well, except Docker/containers are almost always a better solution. Although the auto updating features make it a good sol

None of those issues are resolved by crypto. If crypto is to be legitimized, the government isn’t simply gonna say, too bad, the stuff we think is absolutely necessary to the point we suspended civil liberties for, that stuff we will ignore

The problem is that Netflix’s valuation was based on the idea that they could raise prices without losing subscribers. That in turn was based on the experience with Amazon, which has raised the prices of Prime, products on its site, and the

Huh? That chart shows Snapchat usage declining, whereas they have been claiming steady growth. A lot of people on this thread are saying that people are doubting Snapchat’s numbers because they are old. And that’s definitely part of it. But

I don’t buy Snapchat’s numbers. Their metrics all suggest an inflated user count.
