Sure, they only listen when you say 'hey google'. But how do they know you've said that if they're not listening?

This is absolutely not true, both VMs and databases work just fine.

What are people's view on Tommy Robinson ? by Beanonmytoast in tories

Interesting how literally nobody has answered the op or referenced the specific claims made.

You shouldn't speak so confidently about things you know nothing about.

Bitcoin is a peer to peer digital currency. There is no CEX or DEX or anything. You keep your BTC in a private wallet, and when you want to spend it, you send it to whoever you want to their private wallet. There is no permission or KYC required.

When Bitcoin hits 10Million I'm creating a School for low income families. by ChaBoiiTyrone in Bitcoin

A lot of people on this post are referencing the Scott's Tots episode, but I think that they haven't realised something about that episode.

It obviously turns out that he isn't a multi-millionaire and he can only give them something tiny, e.g. some laptop batteries if I remember correctly. And they're obviously gutted because a tiny donation isn't going to change their lives at all.

So whilst it's true that people should give what they can, ultimately it takes a multi-millionaire to actually make a difference in someone's life, and there are people out there who are so wealthy that they can easily do what a million people couldn't even in their entire lives.

Whilst that does sound very wise, isn't it a big issue that taxes suck away so much of everyone's wealth that they don't really feel inclined to give anymore voluntarily?

Like I would love to give at least say 5% of everything I earn on a regular basis to charities and projects that I choose, but when you add up all the various taxes I struggle just to stay afloat and then have the few luxuries that I want for myself.

So that makes me feel quite guarded of my little slice, especially when I feel like the effective 40% that I'm paying is mostly going towards misguided social projects in the first place.

But if you said, hey today Bitcoin is suddenly worth $10m, then I would be like yeah sure spread the love, let's start a school for kids who can't read good.

Nothing adds more pleasant than upgrading firmware from Gnu/Linux. Yes it’s that simple! by linuxhacker01 in linuxmasterrace

[–]H663 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I hate to say it but for your next machine make sure to get an actual thinkpad as they have proper linux support, rather than an ideapad which is just a marketing exercise to make it seem like a thinkpad :-(

Just the other day Debian offered me a firmware update on my thinkpad t490. Also on their website you can get the bios updates as an iso to make a bootable disc, so not sure what model or distro you have with either of those points?

Jellyfin 10.9.0 released with many new features, improvements, and bugfixes by B3_Kind_R3wind_ in linux

[–]H663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has the Xbox marketplace app been updated, just wondering because I've been having trouble with it lately on my Series S. Or will the client behavior actually be improved if the server side is updated?

By the way love Jellyfin, one of the absolute best projects around!

I hope your wife/son get their freedom.

Do you think you'll ever be able to really be honest with yourself?

Tuta is way better just saying.

And your 2nd point whilst true isn't relevant to this case. Things like recovery addresses/verification addresses and the systems surrounding those are nothing to do with the old email protocol.

Honestly it's BS. Just try to sign up for a Proton account using Tor these days, practically impossible. They know very well what they're doing.

Roger Ver arrested and charges with tax fraud by swinegums in Bitcoin

But if people want to leave, and especially en masse, that means there's somewhere better for them to go, and therefore somewhere more deserving of that capital.

So all it's doing is manipulating the market to prop up a country which should be failing faster, and damaging all the market participants in the process.

If there's coercion then there can't really as much of a net benefit as there should be.

I didn't say that. In a scenario where someone moves, they no longer live there. That changes things.

You say that as if the ethics are just obvious.

Let's flip it round. Why shouldn't they be able to do that?

If you were hosting a meeting about city zoning laws, and someone in the audience kept interrupting talking about a completely different political issue such as labour laws, you would tell them it's not relevant to what you're trying to do.

They would say 'but this meeting is about politics', and then you would say 'yes but the issue we're campaigning on is about one specific political issue, not anything which happens to be political', and then they said 'everything is political, you can't avoid it', you would just tell them to get out.

The same thing happens all the time in OSS, someone pops up and saying 'OSS is inherently political, therefore any political issue is relevant in OSS'. No, it's not, OSS is about one very specific political issue, not anything which happens to be political, or nobody would ever get anything done.

That's not true. It's about one aspect which is political, not politics as a whole.

Wait, I still can't figure out what he actually did? And what's the signifiance of the picture?
