  • Damn they must be beyond desperate

    I am torn. I’m glad they’re trying genuinely new things and imo rewriting parts of their code in rust is a great idea performance-wise. I wish they would do it with the rest of the OS too.

    Then again why? We got Linux, we got permissions, we got security concepts and doctrines, we got users, groups and members and we got LDAP. We also have sandboxing through lxc or full on VMs. Maybe this is the only way to do it on windows but they’re just reinventing the wheel just so they can fit it on a donkey. It’s just kind of useless to tack that onto a swiss cheese of an OS.

    It feels like they know something fundamental has to change but they just invent new things to screw onto a rusted old contraption that’s barely humming along. This is kind of an “either commit or die pretending” moment and I am curious if they understand that before it’s too late and what a genuine strategy would look like.

    This might be controversial but hear me out:

    The idea of an international independent currency that can be made use of anonymously and therefore not controlled by anyone is a great idea.

    Most smaller coins are just scams, reimplementing the same protocols that earlier schemes did and eventually adopting a clear pump & dump characteristic.

    However, I personally believe that bigger coins like etherium that don’t fold as quickly and stick around are genuinely a good idea.

    Moreover, there’s use cases where transactions are tracked for different systems, for example tracking an interconnected energy grid and usage of households.

    And then you also have to consider that block-chains themselves can just be used to keep a fulsome record of something, with the main goal of decentralizing control over that record. I’m sure there will be quite a few use cases for it that make more sense and it’s quite a shame the stigma of crypto got attached to it.

    If you wanna learn more about how block chains are actually researched, you have to dive into academic publications, but then you will find out scientists have a very different vision for this technology which is way more useful. And for the sake of actual science, I hope they don’t get buried under the stigma of crypto, because oftentimes these are just very smart people with lots of passion for something that they genuinely see value in.




  • Lots of people chimed in regarding battery, which is a legitimate issue.

    Another thing though is ARM. Phones usually have a different processor architecture and this architecture used to be incompatible with lots of server software. I remember being pissed at because I couldn’t even host a TeamSpeak Server on it because it wasn’t compatible. Now this was a while back and I’ve heard compatibility has gotten better but still, do some research beforehand.

    No, trusting the legal system would be reading “guilty” and stopping there.

    I have seen more than 200h of motions and trial live. I have also seen independent opinions. I have seen evidence. I have seen articles corroborating my conclusions. And ultimately I also have trust in the judge as well as the jurors who delivered this verdict (I think they were individually polled but I’m not sure).

    Rich would be to have such a minority opinion that you hold and asserting everyone should think like you.

    I don’t, I think it’s good that there’s other opinions than mine. Doesn’t mean I have to agree. But such is nuance.
