  • I have my problems with NFTs, sure, but this argument is dumb.

    You didn't actually get a dollar, you got a piece of fabric/plastic that points to a dollar.

    Who the hell cares? If everyone agrees that your paper bill or NFT represents something, then it represents something.

    If the server hosting the image goes down, guess what? You still have the thing you bought. If you go to the Wayback Machine or whatever, you can still find the picture. That's ignoring the fact that it's possible to create NFTs that don't rely on an external server at all.

    That's a fair sight better than most other digital assets.

  • Should I ask my social worker, again, to use the correct name, gender, and pronouns?

    Jump

  • I suppose you could ask if she refuses to use your preferred name/pronouns (assuming she does) because of personal views or legal/policy reasons.

  • For sure. I'm only taking issue with the last panel's broad assertion that any gain of property is the result of violence. The landlord in this comic is an asshat.

  • Someone smarter than me is probably gonna own me after this comment, and I know this is a comic so it can't include a ton of nuance, but if I willingly exchange/gift my property to someone else, they didn't gain it through violence (state or otherwise). Sure, the threat of violence might prevent someone else from breaking the social contract, but it isn't like the buyer did something unethical to acquire the property.

  • I make a pretty decent effort to use FOSS even when there is a much more polished closed source alternative (ahem FreeCAD) but for some things there really isn't a choice.

    You can't VRChat without the official client, for example.

  • Isn't mattermost GPL'd?

  • You really will

  • I appreciate the sentiment 💕

  • Eh, I don't think future me will be proud of today's me 😅

  • What is the problem here?

    Jump

  • I don't know creality, but have you checked your first layer calibration and bed levelling?

  • How do I learn to "like" AI for work?

    Jump

  • It definitely sounds like you've already decided to find AI useless regardless of what it can do, but on the chance that I can maybe change your mind a little bit...

    I'm a huge AI skeptic myself, at least compared to my coworkers. Almost everything it spits out has been incorrect for me, except in very narrow use cases.

    First, I find it useful to find links to actual documentation for tools/libraries/languages I am completely unfamiliar with. The examples and text it generates are usually poor, but it can do a decent job of finding webpages.

    Second, I've found it good at guided code reviews. It is no substitute for a real human review, but adding an AI pass before you open a pull request can knock off some of the low hanging fruit.

  • I think you mean one murder victim and two trama survivors.

  • Hurray! This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source

    Jump

  • I'm always excited by these kinds of headlines! I hope they stick with open source and don't switch back.

  • Anubis is awesome and I want to talk about it

    Jump

  • That's why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional online transactions.

  • Anubis is awesome and I want to talk about it

    Jump

  • Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn't going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.

  • Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn't free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.

    You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.

    Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn't face, but longer term...

  • TIL: There is an open source "Alexa replacement" project
