Could someone eli5 to me old fart why it’s a good idea to restrict content to a certain time? Increase engagement, OK, but why so much effort to create content that disappears after two weeks?

Always happy to see gemini-related posts!

Check out https://levior.gitlab.io/, a http to Gemini gateway. Found it at https://github.com/kr1sp1n/awesome-gemini

Who knows, maybe OP is playing competive PVP in the browser on his phone?

Just checked it out and it seems that Playtron is yet another Linux distro for gamers. I just can’t see how this can be monitized. How do they plan to get users away from Windows, SteamOS or even Bazzite?

I don’t know how the technical implementation will work, but here is a post I found.

The idea is that you transfer money from the bank to your device, just like withdrawing cash from an ATM. Transferring money from one wallet to another should be able to be offline.

It seems like privacy is a priority, if only to satisfy privacy groups and improve acceptance.

Recently read an ELI5 of the digital euro and was pleasantly surprised. If it works as designed, you can perform offline payments from one device to another, which sounds like your use case. No central servers, no blockchain.

Hey look everyone, we got a dirty belter here!

It’s been a while since I looked into it, and things might have changed since then, but some stuff off the top of my head:

• Messages are stored on the server, not on the device
• end-to-end encryption not enabled by default
• uses proprietary encryption, making security audits difficult

Apart from that it’s somewhat politically questionable, based in Dubai (I think), with dubious financial backing and Russian developers. Because it’s closed source and the encryption is proprietary, there’s no way of knowing how much info it leaks.

It looks like the rally game Dirt and can confirm that keeping the Ford Sierra Cosworth in a straight line can be a challenge!

I’ve been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!

Woah, I have a selfhosten vaultwarden instance and never knew it could do this! Thanks, kind internet person!

Because you, as an employee, have a choice. Have you been asked to do something unethical, something that violates your principles?

That happened to me in my previous job. I told my team and reported it to my superiors. My refusal got me a personal audience with the CEO. But when another thing happened that got me asking around. And when that guy got promoted, our whole team left.

I’m pretty sure that a lot of the mad people fully understand why DRM is ostensibly needed, and also fully appreciate the implications.
