a Taliban spokesman also denied there had been any arrests for “bad hijab” and said: “The issue of rape is not at all possible because there is not just one or two people [in the room with a prisoner] and when there are three people, such a crime would not happen …[this is] a very sensitive issue for the Taliban. I am sure such a thing did not happen.”
Translation: gangbang is not possible. 🙄
As someone who’s never been into sexting… what’s the difference between “leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate”, and “actual sextimg”?
How so?
Anyway, it’s not our call what people in 100+ years will think the exchange rate of Bitcoin should be.
As Bitcoin has grown, transactions have become slow
Except for Bitcoin Lightning Network:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network
Bitcoin is always being diluted
It’s also constantly getting un-diluted by people losing their keys.
Current estimates put the “lost coins” at around 25% of the total. That is twice as many as there are left to mine.
it is possible that transaction fees will need to be raised to compensate miners.
That’s been the plan from the beginning.
Mining halving has been defined with a rough estimate of adoption, volume, and technological advances. It’s why Lightning Network was developed, and why Ethereum has switched to a Proof-of-ownership mining scheme.
The estimate is rough and quite inflexible, which has lead to cyclic fluctuations around the period of halvings… but from a long term perspective, it has been working reasonably well for the first 10% of Bitcoin’s starting period.
This is a fancy way to say that it is slower unless you pay higher fees.
My bank takes:
So my bank is also “slower unless you pay higher fees”… or “slower even with higher fees”… and on top of that, it has an amount cap.
Meanwhile, on Bitcoin Lightning (https://1ml.com/statistics):
fork the network and update it if they had 50%+1
No. There are 3 components to Bitcoin: Miners, P2P nodes. and coin owners.
Neither of those are impossible, some are just easier and have a higher ROI than others.
The tax and identity layers have to be added on top. They are not built-in.
Same as with cash.
Yes, this is one of the selling points of Bitcoin vs. Banks, in an age where cash is getting phased out.
The opposite, is also a selling point of “OpenSource Money with Taxes built-in” vs. Bitcoin.
Pick whichever side you prefer.
Why not call it by its full name: Decentralized Peer-to-peer Open-source Cryptographically-secured Self-custodial Money
“Everyone” doesn’t have a clue about “crypto” other than “there are scams”.
Depends on what interests are linked to the sides.
In the case of Taiwan, the PRC is the main worldwide producer of cheap goods, so nobody wants to antagonize them, but at the same time many countries have interests in outsourcing and importing from Taiwan, so they end up in a “low-key recognize” situation.
In other cases… some countries have a direct strategic interest in one side, some have economic relations with one side but not the other, and others just don’t care.
Depends on the meaning of “recognized”:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foreign_relations_of_Taiwan#Full_diplomatic_relations
Only 12 countries have Taiwan embassies, but another 89 maintain “unofficial diplomatic relationships”.
The UN has 193 member states, so that would make it either 6%, or 52% of the countries.
The conclusion seems to be “wait, let’s talk this over”. Sounds reasonable.
There is an allegation about him helping/inciting/collaborating/conspiring with Manning to break a password that would allow them to access information requiring a higher security clearance.
It’s a serious accusation, and it’s compounded by suspicions of him favoring Russia in his filtering of leak releases, but it’s still crazy the amount of time he’s been not-free because of something he hasn’t been tried or found guilty of.
I need an issue tracker that syncs with git, essentially.
Gitea + Redmine
If you need CI/CD, then Gitlab CE is an option… but it’s on the heavier side, not worth it if you don’t need it.
OpenProject is an eye-candy fork of Redmine. Unfortunately it has lost plugin and 3rd party app compatibility, and Redmine’s simple interface is still less buggy.
document any research […] diagrams […] general note-taking
Joplin + Syncthing, Zim Wiki + git, draw.io
Other nice tools: FreePlane, Jupiter notebooks, any markdown editor
This is an interesting issue, with multiple fronts:
The plan to shut “all” holiday apartments is kind of a pipe dream, or part of populist politics… more so in Barcelona, where right now the recent elections have left Catalonia with parties so divided, that they can’t even agree on a viable candidate to lead it.
A slightly more realistic issue to tackle, are “illegal” holiday apartments that don’t pay the corresponding taxes. Some estimate that Madrid has a 10:1 ratio of illegal vs. registered holiday apartments.
But in general, there is currently no solution that would keep those apartments occupied all year round, without neighbor conflict, in areas that live mainly off seasonal tourism.
For example, Ibiza has 40K permanent residents, but capacity for 600K tourists, which leads to seasonal workers living in trailer parks, or even in their own cars.
That sound like a regular hat, with a regular bee… hiding inside.
Ouch!
From the first 15 min of the edited video: that FUTO boss is an embarrassment, good on Rossman to get him to change things.
I don’t really want to watch the remaining hour, after someone says things like:
I call BS. Weak excuses.
There is a reason people say “FLOSS” instead of “Open Source”. There is a reason Stallman says what he says. There is a reason you can tell apart who understands what’s going on, by whether they understand the differences or not.
A quick reminder:
Stallman created the GPL to allow people to see (open) and change (libre) the code (source)… then “pay forward” that freedom, in echange for being able to charge money (non-free) for their contributions.
He often referred to it as simply “Open Source”… which turned out to be a mistake. Very soon (as in pre-1990), it became clear that there were two more competing camps for the “Open Source” definition:
Both those camps aligned with licenses where developers gave up all their rights, but anyone could very easily take them back and claim as their own (“closing” the software). Famous examples are Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, etc.
The “Open Source Initiative” was created to gatekeep the “Open Source” definition, by keeping a list of licenses that were “OSI compliant”. A side effect of that gatekeeping, was erasing the understanding of the terms “Free” and “Libre” from the public’s minds.
Plenty more than “1000 people” understood what was going on, and were against OSI, seeing it as an EEE move from the Business camp.
People new to it, started using the term “open source” (as per OSI) without a care, only to later realize the Business camp was taking advantage of them… [surprised Pikachu face]
This FUTO boss is not young or inexperienced, he’s a Business-man who, not surprisingly, decided to use a license with a closing clause, that he used the chance to call “Open Source” by exploiting people’s lack of understanding.
Looking into it, seems like Liftoff is a fork of Lemmur, which was a nlnet project [1] that got archived “due to lack of interest and political differences” a few months after the funding ended. Can’t find who’s now in charge of the Liftoff org on GitHub, so it’s hard to tell who should come back 🤔
Yeah… Beehaw is still on 0.18.4, guess my days of using Liftoff are coming to an end sooner or later.
Liftoff… but I wouldn’t recommend it.
It hasn’t been updated in a long while, it has some even larger missing features, and some extra bugs.
Sync… was actually one of the few to update for some Beehaw-apecific bugs some time ago, you might want to contact the developer with your issues.
I keep it as a bav6for when Liftoff fails, the draft feature is pretty nice, and it has better search.
Unattended? Unrooted? What Android version?
I still have to confirm each install, wich is a bit tedious, and was looking around for a new phone.
Watching that ABA link is highly unnerving.
I’ve been offered behavioral therapy as an adult, but now I see that fortunately the psychiatrist in charge was dismissed before it would start. Later I learned that he wrote down I “don’t meet minimums”… and now I think I know what he meant: there was a session where I’m pretty sure he was trying me out, buy didn’t manage to provoke me. F-ing thank the FSM.
The only time I’ve done something remotely similar, was with a stray cat that wouldn’t stop attacking everyone: put her in a dark bathroom (with food, water, and a litter box), turning the light only every few hours to offer her to come out to me. Took the stubborn thing 3 days to make up her mind… and from then on she became a fluffy ball with just the occasional minor outburst. I still admit that was basically torture… except the alternative was to either throw her out back onto the street, or give to a shelter with a 24-hour “no adoption, no cat” policy.
It’s hard to believe anyone would advocate doing something like that to a person.
The US, has a history of slavery.
China has a history of suicide prevention nets, docking pay for not finishing your lunch, millions of undocumented illegal migrant workers, houses full of camgirls “because they’re young and need to be controlled”, closed apartment complexes with thousands of catfishing “remote workers”, and so on. AKA: outsourced slavery.
But you’re right, it’s the capitalist way.
