Weakness, If you’re here for anything other than the narrow view.

Even if you’re here for the the narrow view take a moment and consider if an echo chamber is good for you.

Cryptocurrencies can be useful as currencies. Not very useful as investment though.

Like with any new technology. Remember the blockchain hype a few years back? Give it a few years and we will have a handful of areas where it makes sense and the rest of the hype will die off.

Everyone sane probably realizes this. No one knows for sure exactly where it will succeed so a lot of money and time is being spent on a 10% chance for a huge payout in case they guessed right.

Dabbled in it since 2006. About 2012 i had problems with my network card on windows, flipped out and just installed Linux on my main home computer and have not used windows at home since.

Started with Ubuntu and it’s flavors, recently had problems with snap packages, flipped out and installed the first non Ubuntuoid distro that promised an easy install so I could get back to whatever I was doing at the time. I currently have Manjaro at home.

In my case it was because Ubuntu broke on me for whatever reason (and the threat of snap packages looming).

I did not feel like putting anymore effort into getting the computer back to working so I just switched to something not Ubuntuoid at semi random to anything that promised an easy installation.

A year later and it’s still working. I’ll notify you when it breaks so you can tell me “I told you so”.

Some games don’t run (runs badly) on Linux.

I have to work on a windows computer so I’m regularly reminded of the horrors that is W11.

Troll grade: C-.

WPM or KPM? The unofficial world record seems to be 293 WPM.

I fear it’s a necessary to spend money to ensure German and by extent European independence from China should they decide to increase the pressure on Taiwan.

We have to spend money to get the expertise and the tooling up and running. Preferably yesterday. How do you propose we do it quicker or cheaper?

In Scandinavia we run ours down to -4F or colder. Efficiency goes down but they are still better than 1:1 until then.
