While the US does have a lot of soft power in influencing nations, they certainly aren’t making the rules for other countries and puppeting them.
This is a very rosy eyed statement. The “soft” power is the visible part, just the tip of the iceberg.
I came here to type that, so I’ll just upvote yours instead. Such a versatile device, the Steam Deck!
Blockchain mathematically guarantees trust… for info stored on the blockchain. What guarantee do you have that this info matches things that happen in reality?
If you say: we need a social contract to ensure people update the blockchain, then I say: that defeats the purpose of the heavy lifting you need to mathematically guarantee info on the blockchain is genuine. Let’s just have a social contact to pay the artist when appropriate.
I don’t see what other way could exist to keep the blockchain and reality in sync.
Ok, ok, hold on - what’s being sold here? A link to a digital asset or something else? If it’s a link, I still don’t get the point. Does that link (or whatever it is) confer some kind of license? What’s the use case for faking this data and why are we defending from this?
Hopefully you are right.
If you are referring to scam artists, you are 100% right! Also, some actual artists might have got some money out of it, but I suspect the majority of dough that exchanged hands went to the former kind.
Awesomely described - you have a way with words… mindbleach.
Thanks, great list!
I’m sorry to hear people having issues with FF. I remember the instability spell it had way back (6, 7 years ago?) but I’ve had zero issues with it on Mac, Linux and Android.
Ouch, not sure how that happened. Here: https://www.humanetech.com/course
I updated the post as well, thanks for flagging!
Lemmy just point out that this comment is underrated.
I hear you 😁. For whatever reason I stuck with the Vim tutorial and did it a few times over the years. Now I’m using the IdeaVIM extension in IntelliJ - that mode system is just sooo powerful. It has a horrible learning curve, yes, but if you manage to stick with it, it pays huge dividends. I probably know, like, 18% of all commands, and it completely changed how I edit files (mostly for coding, but also text).
Wow, it looked like a screen grab from a text based adventure game or something 😂
Is this picture from a game? Looks like something I might like to play.
Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.
There is also the B Corp designation (short for Public Benefit Corporation) which allows a company to balance its responsibility towards the share holders with some other benefit it aims to provide where the share holders aren’t the (only) beneficiaries.
Can you please elaborate on the security layer that flatpak adds? Some commentators here suggest Flathub is not secure.
