The data on these things is completely unreliable. Wallets are opened and dumped at will. I don’t think that you’re really wrong. It is likely very concentrated. But I know that there is no reliable way of actually coming to this statistic.
Decentralized currencies will only actually make sense when the material incentives of our economic system would benefit from them. Capitalism is literally all about concentrating the control of capital and the means by which we produce things. Sadly, decentralized currencies will never be allowed to decouple themselves from these economic systems. There is too much material power to prevent that. And by material power I mean literally the enforcement of these concentrations of wealth through the use of violence.
The tech is cool. But it doesn’t magically solve the problem by simply being invented. It’s why no one is actually paying with these cryptocurrencies on anything but an extremely small scale.
A currency that cannot be manipulated by capitalist for their benefit has no place in our world. So, it will never reach any meaningful real use until those structures are dismantled. It will just continue to be a speculative asset that rich people dump their extra wealth into and poor people play as the lottery.
That’s like saying a HDD is bad because someone can put CP on it.
Edit: CP rhymes with “Mild Corn”.
Some lost JAV. Specifically some of Kaho Shibuyas. Haven’t been able to complete that collection yet. VRs and some older videos that the publisher doesn’t even exist anymore. I’d pay even. But until I visit an old DVD shop in Japan they are lost to the Internet.
ipleak.net to confirm your VPN is not leaking your IP too. Add the magnet/torrent link option and keep that page open. Your client will connect and will show what ip address is being exposed to peers.
Also a good page to test your VPN in general.
That would basically require ending capitalism at this point. Maybe at the birth of the digital era we could have had a balance between them. But capitalist fought tooth and nail to ensure that existing systems based on scarcity and demand would be artificially enforced in digital form.
Instead of restructuring our economic systems by benefiting society as a whole we sadly forced the existing economic systems onto a digital world that it didn’t work on.
Those contradictions are still coming full circle though. I do not think these current systems can be maintained. It may take another generation or ten to see this digital oligarchy collapse.
Copyright is not there to protect the “mom and pop developer” like some might try to argue. It is there to ensure capitalist structures are enforced in the digital world. A world that is in complete contradiction to them. (Not unlike the material world but just more extreme)
I mean wouldn’t it just be “ways to cheat tarrifs”
Like I guess they don’t want to promote that but they could just say “ways to cheat tarrifs we will punish” to try to sound hard.
But this phrase just makes no sense.
Exactly. Ctrl+C and hope ls isn’t completely empty.
Downsides can be inconsistent behavior. As with any alias it’s not meant to be anything but a replacement in your shell. Scripts/SSH etc.
Also, you gotta remember to empty your trash. :)
alias trash-put from trash-cli in both sudo and user.
myrm() {
trash-put "$@"
}
alias rm="myrm"
This has saved my ass so many times. Especially when typing “rm * .png” instead of “rm *.png”
Can restore the files using the cli or from system recycling bin.
The alias to rm is probably not best. So getting use to using another name is probably best. But I’m never had a problem with it.
Nah. Fuck forced updates. Only time I’m forced to use windows is for work.
I have to play the “low battery” game when it starts notifying me during work. Unplugging and repowering the laptop right below 10% so it won’t restart and disconnect my VM and SSH sessions I’m using for work.
I don’t care what anyone says. Updates that can’t have a forever “give me 1 more hour” indefinitely are just going to destroy work.
Suddenly restarting in the middle of someone working is just awful design. I don’t care how many “warnings” there are.
I’m connected to a remote session and doing work. If you restart my computer I could lose my work. The OS is not some self contained thing you can always save the state in.
Again, this is by design. The point is GitHub is for developers. If a non developer reaches the page they SHOULD feel a little intimidated. They SHOULD be either forced to read some notes or come back and ask for help (like the commenter did).
This is for their own benefit. Its meant to give people pause about what they are installing or downloading. Since GitHub can host anything. It SHOULD feel different than downloading Discord or some other app.
It is not meant to be a friendly UI that says “Install here!”. It is meant to make the user have some caution over what they are doing.
And, again, it’s designed for developers. Not end users.
I think it’s a good design in some ways and worse in others.
For this case it’s annoying because it’s just a .zip that has the binaries ready to go i assume.
But you really want the focus to be on the README and good install instructions. Especially when the releases are just uncomiled source code (which is common).
So I think GitHub leaves this focus on the README and let’s the dev decide what is the focus of the people visiting.
Yep. And I don’t have to use 10 different video player UIs. I can just use Plex. That lifetime pass from years ago has been worth it. Even if I know people are critical of Plex.
Same but photopea usually replaces Gimp for me now. Works in the browser and is basically Photoshop but without all the automated tools.
That’s likely safe. But…
Most malware isn’t trying to make your computer unusable anymore. That was the old days when people just wanted their “hacking” acknowledged.
You can definitely still be running a crypto miner if you sudo’d something stupid you downloaded on Linux.
He’d probably just upgrade your drivers to the latest stable version for your distro and fix all those W: prints you see whenever a guide tells you to “sudo apt update”.
You know who you are and you’re me.
I hadn’t really thought about it until reading this comment but I am definitely the same. I use to pirate so much software back in the day. But, I really just find myself looking for projects on GitHub that fit my needs.
I pirated a video upscaling program just to test it out. Topaz I think it was. But it was mostly just curiosity because it was very niche in it’s performance improvement over it’s open source alternative video2x.
That’s literally the only software I can remember pirating in the last 10 years.
If it’s good and requires a one time purchase. I buy it. Unraid is obviously going to be an example of that for a lot of people here.
I think I’ve spent more money donating “coffee” to good open source projects though. And going windows free for over 3 years now has been a big part of that. I can’t stand when I have to use Windows now. Work still forces it on me. But I literally only use it to SSH into my redhat VM.
All my piracy is media these days. And that’s only because the streaming services have basically reached the point that cable did back in the late 2000s.
Piracy has always been based on convenience rather than cost for me. “Piracy is a service issue” is the famous quote. Additionally it’s about services not giving you ownership over the thing you purchased. Which is what a lot of software has become.
You’re on a piracy sub mate. I had assumed the point would be to share with others.
Eh sometimes you just want “download_shit” and “download_shit_but_slow”.
Remembering that there is a config and where the fuck it is is half the battle for me sometimes.
