That's a really awkward analogy. A better one would be: Would you buy an album with all the curse words bleeped out? A lot of people would, but others would prefer the uncensored version.

You're either thinking of a different bill, or just making stuff up and trolling. Go ahead and quote any part of the bill that mentions crypto. Its a relatively short bill that doesn't take more than 5 minutes to read. Look, I&#x2

The bill has nothing to do with crypto. Its about banks and payment card networks.

I wish these articles would bring up the Fair Access To Banking Act, which could solve many of these problems if it can get passed. It seems to have widespread Republican support, which is enough to get it passed in the House. But it could

I've only seen this with Steam. It would throw up several small "loading" windows, each stealing focus, before actually launching (and stealing focus again). I haven't noticed it in a while though. Maybe they fixed it.

You can just say it happened in Europe.

That is absolutely false. In pretty much any western country, you're forced to use the VISA network, even for debit cards. Take a closer look at your locally branded card, and you'll almost certainly see a VISA log tucked away som

We have privacy focused crypto systems like Monero, but the EU effectively banned them last year through "money laundering" laws, and they're moving to completely ban them within the next few years. https://www.bit

It was Mastercard's rule, but any one of the companies in the payment network could have brought it up to Valve. The whole system is set up so one transaction has to go through up to 6 different companies, and they all have to abide by

Its very strange, but they do have a Linux client that they refuse to mention in their blog post. I have no idea if this is a simple slip-up or if it was for some reason intentional. https://ollama.com/download/linux

Congressional salaries should be exactly the median US salary. That way their incentives are aligned with the median citizen and not just the 1%.

Whats important is VRAM, not system RAM. The 4090 has 16gb of VRAM so you'll be limited to smaller models at decent speeds. Of course, you can run models from system memory, but your tokens/second will be orders of magnitude slowe

Nobody suggested mixing it with a fundraiser. Just that the protest should use the same annoying banner elements that the fundraisers do.

I have never seen a store offering any payment method called "SEPA". After reading up on it, it just looks like some protocol to do bank transfers between countries, and it requires exchanging IBAN numbers. I do pay rent and some

In Finland, I have to use Visa everywhere. Banks offer debit cards, but they use the Visa network. Some smaller sellers also accept Mobilepay, but its not very common.

Those people would already qualify for an O-1A visa.

Where is "in Europe" in your case? There are around 50 countries, each with their own laws. In Finland, you don't get ANY vacation days until the next time April 1st rolls around. And then, the number of days you get is heavi

You can also look at the Steam survey as another data point. Linux use among English speakers is just above 5%, but the data is biased toward power users/ gamers. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/

The biggest benefit I've seen is that it automatically hides the old tab bar at the top. Before that, you had to dig into some hidden profile directory and modify some userchrome CSS file and modify the CSS directly hoping it would wor

Is this based on any sort of statistics, or is it just another media narrative?
