The problem is that if you make a PayPal equivalent, you're still beholdent to MasterCard and Visa since you need them for people to actually add money to their account, and if you want to make a direct competitor to MasterCard and Visa, that's basically impossible without government support because they're way too entrenched, why would a business support a random new payment method that nobody is using yet.
I'm thinking of trying them, but hard for me to find a usecase. I have two monitors and it's often useful for me to have different combos of apps open at the sane time, so not sure how to properly use it.
We also gotta keep in mind that cycling makes people healthier, so it has that benefit, and that it can also potentially replace some exercise people would be doing otherwise, in which case you're basically moving for free since you would have expanded those calories anyways.
I get that, but I also sometimes see the people behind them when walking completely loose their shit from that, visibly angry, leaning in, yelling and honking, which I feel is a bit overkill.
I don't understand how, but somehow drivers seem to be the biggest whinny cunts on the planet. I feel like 80% of drivers rage from the smallest of inconveniences, if you inconvenience them for even a few seconds they'll yell at you or flip you off. God forbid someone not notice the bonus right-turn green arrow. I feel like every time I see that everyone behind them wants to bring hell down upon them and curse their entire lineage for even existing. Even people I know personally that are typically very nice and aren't prone to getting angry get irrationally mad at people they see on the street for such trivial things. It's amazing.
Sounds cool but also a bit meaningless? What do we count as self hosted, just citizens hosting personal stuff or are we counting company infrastructure? Because I think the latter is much more important, 90% of personally self hosted stuff is for 1 person and maybe their family and friends, which doesn't really scale and isn't something we need to necessarily strive for. I self host, but I don't think we can expect the average Joe to as well.
I mean the whole point of tariffs is to bring manufacturing to your country, so if they actually did that that would be a major win, but I'm highly doubtful, they'll probably just wait it out since the US can't survive by blocking literally every high end chip from being imported.
He explicitly states that no sensitive informarion gets used. If you believe that, then I have no issue with him additionally asking for a third opinion from an LLM.
Ok, I mean if that's MTP then sure, I thought it was something else, but I don't see the problem, I've literally never had issues with reading or writing files using it over multiple devices and I have access to everything I'd have with a file browser app on my phone.
Edit:
Reading this article, I don't see why you would ever want to go back, it sounds like it has way more issues than the current solution.
Because of a severe lack of content. On Reddit you can find a community for basically anything. On Lemmy there are only a few alive ones. E.g. there are very few alive country communities.
