As much as I love Manjaro, same issue here. Wayland just blackscreens on an Nvidia card, and that's a 1060, mind you, not something bleeding edge.

Absolutely! Inflation has to be lower, that's for sure. I'd even argue that the need for inflation is more of a feature of a capitalist economy.

Having to force spending/investment is only important as long as the very economy is built around overconsumption and private investment.

We can absolutely live with a more or less stable currency if we focus on sustainability and put the people first. Money should return to be the means to just get what we need, and we should stop building the economy around creating artificial demand.

Yes, but that was caused by other factors, while deflationary policy directly leads to them as it punishes spending, but rewards accumulation. As a result, everyone sits on a pile of cash, and they either don't spend it, like, ever, grinding economy to a halt, or start buying, strongly depreciating the currency and forming a death spiral.

It's still very much not nice to specifically use the reference from the movie given Scarlett clearly indicates she doesn't like what they are doing.

You can literally pick another reference - not that she is the only person ever playing a digital/robotic woman.

But they proceeded anyway. This signals disregard and disrespect to whatever sources they use, if nothing else.

Never, because apparently someone craves thinner smartphones and tablets, and a barrel USB is a bad fit for that.

Wow! Can't believe it actually exists lol

USB devices just not fitting the damn slot is an all too common issue, and it normally takes me 2-3 rotations to finally insert it if I'm not actively looking.

Cryptocurrency is a useful technology that has some real-world use cases - for example, living in Russia, I use it to circumvent sanctions to donate to some of the crypto-friendly creators, pay for a VPS abroad, and I keep calm knowing I can transfer money to my relatives abroad.

However, it is obviously not the answer to how we should build the financial system. The problem is not environment, actually - many Proof-of-Stake blockchains allow to transfer crypto with minimal environmental impact - but the poor on-chain regulation (including taxation, too) and potentially excessive infrastructure, as well as little protections against malicious and fraudulent actors.

Besides, inability to control emission, while helping maintain the value of the currency over the long run, also means that many interventions that can save economy in a crisis are simply not available. And a deflationary nature is known to cause bubbles.

Хитроумно)

For those who literally just got a pic in Russian - this is a 10L (12,5kg) canister of 99,8% pure food-grade glycerol

Автор, не забывай, что по-русски тут почти никто не говорит :D

Sure, I'm all for a public alternative!

I just like the general idea.

Cool then!
