Has Taler moved beyond proof of concept yet?

It’s an amazing concept btw. I read through their paper presented to the European banking system, it was interesting.

Hello all, I made the jump.

And I saw the avatar for the community, and for this fleeting moment thought it was a post about successfully making some particularly hard jump in supertux2.

Or not, maybe, idk

Do you think the AI was just fed the title to make an image, and successfully combined “rust” and “os”?

Bah. Moving from one ideologist’s garden to another. Choose freedom! Choose Microsoft Paint.

I heard they’re unethical. Made with slave labour or something.

Runs fine for me: Steam on Linux.

And yes the AI is not terrificly bright, nor are many other mechanics state of the art these days, but I find it a fun game. Might reinstall and play through again. Now, if only stealth archer were a viable build…

You want to know my secret?

How I survive Lemmy?

I’m always happy :-D

if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public.

I wouldn’t want to let you down, so,

two new admins, who’s primary duties

Should be “whose primary duties”

For real, though, thank you for your work looking after this instance! And big thanks in advance to whoever takes up the new admin roles. I hope there’s some of you out there who have time to take this up, wisdom to do it well, and patience… because, well, it’s the internet!

Edit to add: Who downvotes a post like this? Seriously, two downvotes? “Noo! Can’t have more admins! Terrible post, get it out of my feed!”

“How about a salad?”

“Oh, I know a few vegetables who’d object to that, Sir!”

I recommend distrohopping to check out Vista and iOS. It’s easier to get started with if you dual boot them on your W11 netbook.

I like flapjack* for the occasional programs I want the newest version.

*Sure, autocorrect, let’s call it that now.

I’ve also hopped distros on a scale of several years at a time. Loved Arch before I was living on an awful internet connection; did Ubuntu until they messed with snaps; loved Tumbleweed for a few years, but the volume of updates was getting a bit much; nearly learnt Nix but a trial run of Home Manager went up in flames, then I realised multiple layered package versions wasn’t worth the ‘stability’; now Mint’s been doing the job nicely, but I’m tempted to try KDE’s new distro someday.

It’s not even shorting it. Imagine if you took a plain battery and tried to charge itself from itself. You’d connect +ve to +ve and -ve to -ve: it’d do nothing.

I think the battery pack does clever things stepping voltages up and down: that’s how it can give charge at the same 5v as it was charged itself. So in this case those circuits will be just burning off energy.

in a ball of FIRE!

Going back in time is cheating a bit, but around 2013 my computer was an 8gb netbook. I carefully segregated my files into a couple of GB that I’d keep available, and the rest on an external HDD. To this day I keep that large/small scheme, though both parts have grown since then.

“Grumpy Grognard”. Do we have flairs on Lemmy? I can subtitle myself, grumpy grognard.

Fair point that laptops aren’t really the use case, though there have been times I’ve wanted to try things out on my laptop - actually that’s a reason I still want to learn podman or docker, because I hope it’s a way to try server-y things on my laptop without polluting my system, and being able to cleanly uninstall.

But okay, space on servers. I have a VPS with 20gb storage. And that has to include my backup data that lives there.

None, in fact, because I still haven’t got in to using docker! But that is one of the factors that pushes it down the list of things to learn.

I’ve had a number of low-storage laptops, mostly on account of low budget. Ever since taking an 8GB netbook for work (and personal) in the mountains, I’ve developed space-saving strategies and habits!

Mine, on my 128gb dual boot laptop.

But fibre does form a crucial part of a healthy diet. Much on fibre optic cables while you sweat hard to dig up the real copper.
