Proton is an evolution of wine, an open source project. Wine has been around since… 1993 according to Wikipedia.

Would certainly be welcome in my CNC play >.>

I wonder how this would interact with, say, Manhattan’s Eruv—a wire used by some Jews to demark a private space.

And Dolly Parton!

I see you have never driven behind a pickup truck on a gravel road.

There was a time when I would’ve agreed with you. I still endeavour to this day to avoid profanity.

Today, however, I don’t agree that using “fuck” is at all an indicator of a low vocabulary (except in the case of overuse, but that’s true of any word). There are emotions that civil people aren’t supposed to feel, so we need words that we aren’t supposed to use to express them.

Fuck can be used to great effect, and should be.

Oh man, this tickles my brain like bonehurtyjuice on the other site.

Guess it was a bad time to download more RAM

See zram and zswap.

Fuck, me too.

Gentoo? With 4GB of RAM? That sounds like a challenge!

It’s also 36 years old. I think we can cut it some slack 🤣

Hey, IRC was federated before federation was cool.

Gentoo nerds represent!

Let me preface this by saying I’m pretty anticapitalist, but I think the idea is that you create a new product or expand into a new industry. You can maintain growth for a long time that way.

Yeah, that feels like a really weird choice.

Well today I learned!

There is one “inherent use” (if I’m understanding that term correctly) of bitcoin, and that’s to pay for space in blocks. Again, that only gives bitcoin value if people want to use bitcoin, so take that as you will.

So… That isn’t exactly true. You’re correct that there’s a limit to the total and circulating number of coins, but if the world suddenly decides 1 BTC = US$0, it doesn’t matter if there are less coins tomorrow than today. Both days, each coin is still worth zero.

All that to say, there’s no guarantee that a bitcoin’s value will increase over time.

A penny saved is still a penny saved. I’m not saying it would amount to much, but it is non-zero.
