Have you tried xfce? It's even more lightweight than eos, and has existed for more than 20 years.

Great, so why don't you go create your central repository of art ownership, launch it to the world, and let me know how many people use it over NFTs. You don't get to decide what the best/worst solution is. We already have a

Providing a few examples of places where smart contracts do not replace existing solutions does not mean smart contracts are "a hilariously bad idea." Someone more creative than you will come up with a good application for them. Y

It won't affect the original NFT or the ledger w.r.t. who owns it.

I think the real solution here is banning coal, natural gas, etc., not the downstream users of it. If I want to mine BTC with 100% nuclear/wind/solar energy, then the problem is solved right?

I was able to find my apartment building in downtown Chicago easily enough, but there's no way I'd be able to find my parent's place in the suburbs.

It's interesting how your comment hasn't been flagged into the ground and garnered a response from dang. I guess sarcastic flamebait is OK when it agrees with the HN hivemind. (meanwhile, my comment will be flagged in 3... 2... 1.

I've tried to have this type of conversation many times with many people over the past few years. I've found that not only are they resistive to this sort of take, but it frequently makes people angry if you try to take this posit

Vim would have no trouble with a 10mb log file. The only time I've really run into trouble opening a file with vim was when the file size exceeded the ram on my machine (it was an XML data dump from discogs). Even running macros and re

I prefer to minimize the waste I generate with my daily activities. A reusable notebook sounds ideal for me. I don't use paper for this very reason.

You should honestly always expected to get downvoted on HN. The community is pretty small, and the spirit of the site attracts contrarians and pessimists who will disagree with most things they see. My point total on this site has been stuc

So now we've reached the point where we're arguing over the semantic meaning of the word "censorship." While we're here, can you please inform us which word we are allowed to use to describe what reddit is doing?

Pretty much, and now if they fire her they open themselves up to a potential media hit piece about how they're transphobic. Really put themselves in a shitty position, didn't they?
