Just make instant direct payments... you know, like SEPA. No need for any new schemes.

I'm sorry, Dave, but AUR does not count.

Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooouuuuuuuuu.

Not 80, not 70, not 60, at best $40.

Gitea (and hopefully Forgejo as well) really is.

I know of one successful supply chain attack in FOSS.

So still points for using it.

It's not good.

But it's leagues better than crypto.

I hate typing 'asymmetric key cryptography', and GPG is just three letters.

Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don't see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.

And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.

If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.

Just fucking sign it. With your private key.

And publish your public key.

Then everyone will be able to verify it's your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.

Sorry for blowing this on you, but fuck blockchain, fuck NFTs.

What we need is better understanding of cryptography.

PGP has solved this problems decades ago, and crypto has just borrowed some parts, but made it worse in every possible way and into incomprehensible depths.

Again, fuck crypto, fuck NFTs.

I should make a guide on how to use GPG.

Just add SEPA payments from Europe and I won't touch Visa or MC ever again.

Altman is a megalomanic psychopath, lying to steal even more money and break everything just to feel better about himself.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

We can nitpick specific examples for everything you want, and we will be correct, but that detracts from the point that Gabe has helped to build things that took decades of slowly getting anywhere.

I wish we didn't need it, but we do.

It's usually the llvm that takes forever, then Firefox, then LibreOffice.

You can actually pull binary packages in Gentoo, if you are into that, and update like any other system.
