For most computer stuff, whatever has the best Linux support, because Linux is the operating system I use btw

Hard to beat tiktok

You realize they’ve been doing chip making way longer then we have

What can you do with it that you cannot already

They already were, but how they can use this dangerous advance semiconductor manufacturing to get a couple more fps on among us

Chip manufacturing advancements is awesome for everyone. Oh no, good technology advancements but Americans didn’t make it!

It was no normal gadget.

It’s literally just a hauwei android phone lol

That’s why there’s labels below the icons

Agree, my work flow is basically entirely broken without dash-to-panel, which is maintained by like one guy lol.

So what I’m reading is to wait to upgrade until my dash-to-panel and app-indicator extensions are updated

Click the eye icon to disable cosmetic filtering, that should get it working again. That tends to work for me when it hides something it shouldn’t.

Still working for me. Only change I noticed is that the edges of the video player are rounded now.

How expensive is it to run a dead mastodon instance lol. Ppl do this out of pocket already in the greater mastodon ecosystem. Hell, we’re talking on an example of that. Is the instance owner of your instance doing this out of pocket?

You didn’t even know what a pgp key was before this convo or read receipts, you have no idea what you’re talking about. This is not a real problem and is already solved with outbox emails.

Your personal email server doesn’t count, because you can alter the log to show whatever you want. Nobody is going to take your word for it.

Falsifying evidence is a crime.

Manager tells worker they need to cover an emergency on the weekend, worker claims they never received the message.

Lol then the manager will say “why did you not respond”, it’s on the worker. They’re not going to pull up a fucking blockchain, they’re going to pull out their phone and say “see, I sent you this”.

Business wants to cancel a work order, contractor shows up and says they weren’t properly notified of the cancellation.

That’s the contractors fault. Blockchain is irrelevant. If they didn’t check their email, they’re sure as hell not going to check a dumb ass blockchain.

They know they sent you the message, even if you delete it or otherwise pretend they didn’t.

Crazy, I wonder how they know that? Maybe because they know they pressed the “send” button, and it’s the other party’s responsibility to accept.

Again, none of these situations need a dumb fucking blockchain.

You do understand that not every blockchain system is public, right?

This is such an obscure situation that doesn’t even need to be solved with blockchain. Look at the article being posted. “Messaging network for safer communications”, which now apparently turns to just a single situation where a lawyer needs to send a time sensitive email and needs to prove it was sent? Which again, doesn’t actually even solve the problem. In this case, your blockchain ponzi scheme email can easily get caught by a spam filter. You’ve now turned the use case to some global read receipt system, which is dumb as hell and something nobody needs.

This use case literally does not exist. It can also be solved by a simple email server. A business that wants to keep logs of all their messages being sent out or received can store everything on their server with inbound or outbound emails. If in the super extreme scenario where a lawyer sends an email and the counsel ignores it, they can get in a lot of legal trouble for lying and would just get delayed. They lawyer can also prove they sent an outbound copy on their email server. What do you think needs to be “auditable” in communication? A business sending a damn receipt does not need this solution, that’s the end user for their email being valid. A lawyer sending private documents to each other want the literal last thing to be on a fucking public cloud server that is invisibly accessible by any fucking third party. Do you hear yourself? Are you a real person??

Literally none of these obscure scenarios you’re trying to come up with even need a blockchain solution. You should recognize how hard you’re trying to justify this as it being a dumb fuck solution. Despite all these issues you’re apparently inventing, we use our existing technology every day and none of these are issues. You’re coming off more like ChatGPT then a normal person.

Yes there is??? Do you know what a read receipt is?

Again, storing messages on the blockchain is a fucking terrible idea. I don’t need to store the dumb memes my friends send to each other eternally on the blockchain, nor does anyone give a shit. If it’s important enough to want to be saved, you do this new technique called a damn backup.

I don’t want to open myself up to my key getting hacked and my entire life history’s messages getting leaked. I don’t want to open myself to someone stealing my device where my key is stored and having indefinite access to all my past, present, and future data. I don’t want to leave my data publicly available with all the metadata and message sizes to see for any unknown third parry, and to who is being sent what to whom. I don’t want to be vulnerable to potential encryption breaking techniques in the future. I don’t want to deal with the gas cost, the huge amount of latency that would make real time chat unviable, and the insane amount of overhead to solve an already solved problem with an objectively worse solution in every possible way.

These are problems that don’t need to be solved with blockchain. Every problem you’re suggesting has been solved decades ago and for absolutely free. You are dense as hell and aren’t even attempting to look at the already existing technology that has already solved this. Fuck out of here crypto bro.

you can store things encrypted

also do you know what identity keys are? We’ve solved that decades ago with pgp keys lol

Yeah it’s called storing things client side lol.

Also the whole point of encryption is that it can’t be tampered with by a middle man. We’ve accomplished all of that already.

Buddy wait until you hear about pgp keys or identity keys in general. No ponzi scheme and tree burning required!

Again, there’s always a solution that’s better and doesn’t need the blockchain. Blockchain is literally never the answer unless you’re trying to kill the environment and scam others all in one go.

p2p has no middle man. There’s nothing to go out. Blockchain is a literal plague, especially in this scenario when a simple database can handle this. MXIDs already provide distinct usernames. Preferences are often stores client side.

You do not need to burn a tree, push a Ponzi scheme, and make this data permanently public to solve this. That is a terrible idea, and any solution you come up with will be always better without a Blockchain.
