In general whatever anyone does to anything, current userbase will 90% of the time be against it. But

“Next, we’ll remove all the action buttons with their superfluous interaction counts from the main timeline,” Musk posted in a subscriber-only post on X in October of last year. “Just view count will show, unless you tap into a post.”

So the main thing will be views. Not how many agree, how many object. Views
And probably it will also become the main analytic datapoint

Shit in, shit out

Haven’t tested it but it seems so. Android client has the button too

What about Element/Matrix?

When I don’t have the time to enable sheltered apps, I use Firefox with uBlock and AutoCookieDelete to watch the links
Last time I did this was a few hours ago

Yeah, I was wrong

Is there a limit to one-time cards

There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app

Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer

It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps

FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course

We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps

most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps

Huh? All the other banks I use support it

But you’re right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it’s not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK

WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven’t used that
Revolut is just another bank. It’s just a little less behind the times than most

I’m not sure what “tap to pay” is and I haven’t used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it’s pretty handy, even if as pre-paid account

But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer

access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone

I had similar setup but I was using obsidian and pcloud. Syncing up&down was done by scripts using rclone/roundsync (android). Script part might be harder to achieve using windows

But I came here to say that I finally decided to test syncthing and it’s so much easier! And just works. Now pcloud is rather a backup and sharing than gateway

Depends. I’ve found that it was able to explain to me (about Spanish) why, when and how to use this form or the other. But it won’t come up with a plan of lessons. And the level of support will depend on the amount of resources available for the language you want to learn

Yes, I can. But you need much more to accomplish this

1. You need reach: are there any mods/admins that would feel ok with vouching for your abilities? And preferably have info about your proposal stickied on a bunch of communities where it could reach people open to chip in?
2. You need to convince those you reach that you’re not a Nigerian Prince. Mod/Admin saying you’re legit could help with it but maybe there’s something more you could do to convince the public?
   Maybe I simply don’t know who you are, maybe in reality you are second in command after Dessalines. But either you are a random dev saying “I can do that” - in this case you need to somehow convince others that you really can. Or you are not recognised for your work - in this case you need to point us to what tie you to. I saw the fedi project on your GitHub so you probably can code (I’m not going to be auditing your project in order to asses your skills, sorry). But are you just a dreamer or are you serious?
   I’m sorry if what I’m saying sounds harsh. I just feel that how you are coming through to the other side gets lost in translation here
3. GitHub is not the most popular support medium. Why not also have Patreon/Koffi/OpenCollective/etc? Many will chip in easier if they’re already present on the platform

There are other communities too

Maybe I’m going to do something, maybe I’m not. Why the demanding tone?

I also think that grassroots economy would work better for many things. But we’re not there, the world doesn’t work like that ATM. Wish for 10% of people to contribute is very optimistic IMO.
You need much wider spread, and for me (for example) your tool is the only thing that gives you any credibility. If there are others like me, you might be missing clout for a call to support like that to simply just work

24h for people to react to a comment in some post?

I think you under-advertised your proposal

I haven’t considered the “you don’t know who you are messing with” angle. Good point

sending another spirit ahead

Well, from shadowhelix and a few books I understood that eco-terrorists in Europe might-or-might-not have connections to Sea Dragon. So I was thinking about sending them a Saltwater Serpent

Using an analogy, somewhere along the road we came from “your lips will look nice with this lipstick” to “I can’t leave a house without a lipstick on”. And raising awareness about issues is basically a marketing too. It has to be in order to make it through to you among all the other noise. It’s just that this time it’s not you who are not thin/tall/curvy/vibrant/… enough, it’s the world that is not safe/happy/wealthy/just enough. I’m not saying that it’s not true but this has a side effect that when you are overstimulated with the ads and news, it does feel like the world is going to end.

Think about what would really have to happen to purge us all, 100%. Even climate change, I don’t think could do it. 90% maybe, and sure that would be a change in our world. But still not the end of it. I can’t find the paper now, but we only need something like 1000 random people to survive in order to have enough genetic diversity for the species to survive. Something would have to wipe us all at once to really kill us. Otherwise, we’ll just adapt and carry on.

And if not. Welp, that’s a chance for the UFOs to thrive. It’s not like humanity is required for the wheels to keep turning

At first I thought it’s Sleipnir but it’s missing the tail, obviously

From what I learned at university:
CISC instruction set (x86) was developed to adress the technical reality of its time - time costly CPU operation and fast read from storage. Not long after that the situation has changed - storage reads became slower in comparison to computing time (putting it simply it’s faster to read an archive and unpack it than to read unpacked thing). But in the meantime the PC boom has happened. In a way backward compatibility and market inertia locked us with instruction set that is not the best optimised for our tech, despite the fact that RISC (for example ARM) was conceived earlier.

In a way software (compilers and interpreters too) is like a muscle. The more/wider it’s used, the better it becomes. You can be writing in python but if your interpreter has some missed optimization opportunities, your code will be running faster on architecture with a better optimized interpreter available.

From personal observations:
The biggest cost of software is not to write something super efficient. It’s maintainability (readability and debugging), ease of use (onboarding/training time) and versatility (“let’s add the feature that is missing to what we have, instead of reinventing the wheel and maintaining two toolsets”).

The new languages are not created because they can do something faster than assembler (they can’t, btw). If assembly code is written as optimal as possible, high level languages can at best be as fast. Writing such assembly is a problem behind the keyboard, not a technical limitation. The only thing high-level languages do better is how much time it takes a human to work with it.
I would not be surprised to learn that bigger part of these big bucks you mention go not into optimization but rather into “how can we work around that difference so the high-level interface stays the same as for more widely used x86?”

In the end it all boils down to machine code - it’s the only thing that really exists when it comes to executing code. If your “human to bits translator” produces unoptimized binaries, it doesn’t matter how high-level your code was written in.
And sometime in the meantime we’ve arrived at a level when even a few behemoths like Google or Microsoft throwing money into research (not that I believe they are doing so when it comes to optimization) is enough.
It’s the field use that from time to time provides a use-case that helps finding edge-case where optimization can be made.
To purposefully find it? Dumping your datacenter in liquid nitrogen might be cheaper and probably more predictable.

So yeah, I mostly agree with him.
Maybe the times have changed a little, the thing that gave RISCs the most kick were smartphones, then one board computers, so not long ago. The improvements are always bigger at the beginning.
But the fact that some companies are trying to get RISC back into userland in my opinion means that the computer world has only started to heal itself after the effects of PC boom. There’s around 20 year difference where x86 was the main thing and RISC was a niche

So they made notes on Facebook. IMO it would be already dead if not for Messenger

• Encourage solo exploration and survival.
• Have distant sci-fi, cyberpunk, and dystopian themes.
• In addition to equipment, implant, and class bonuses, will incorporate gunplay.

Maybe check out Mutant: Year Zero? AFAIK Year Zero engine plays well with survival and resources. Might be a little bit too light for computer GM, though.
