I stopped giving a fuck after my first glued phone repair attempt. Until that point it was kind of fun and very rewarding, and the glued ones are just pure frustration. Big tech won, I don't repair phones any more.

In the conflict of interest of individuals vs. "the economy" I'm on the side of individuals, sorry.

Since when keeping the money you earned is "hoarding" and a bad thing?

I think money with expiration period that exists to prevent people from having savings is very dystopian, I don't feel like there is something to explain.

I refer to comment sections under news about going more cashless, for example. Commenters saying it's bad for privacy get downvoted a lot because it's not socially acceptable to say so.

Same in face to face social setting. If you want to take a stand against cashless, it's good to say something else than the privacy mantra, or people stop listening to you.

For that one time when systemd-logind crashed on every boot on an unmodified CentOS install because of an OOM.

Just a note, high denominations are not great during emergencies, unless you mean big purchase emergencies. Buying food and gas with high denomination bills may end up in seller not accepting the bill because they have no change. Or happily accepting that bill despite having no change.

For small change, you could take the jar to your bank and make a cash deposit (and see the cashier die inside). In some branches they have machines for counting change.

Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, you wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period.

Haha no, thanks. I really don't understand why Stallman stands behind dystopian statist money.

The moment you start using this argument you become a tinfoil hat money laundering thug. Being afraid of putin is more socially acceptable.

I don't have good experiences with recipes from GPT. They are not good at maths and thus, proportions were off more often than not.

I also used it to get some suggestions for supper compatible with a diet I was on. Complete garbage, while it was mostly obeying dietary restrictions, it was suggesting full dinner dishes with 30-60 minutes of preparation. Even after changing the prompt to add what a supper is in my culture, because it insisted some people eat like that.

As someone who prefers Ansible to the alternatives, I also love not having to write these verbose statements by hand any more
