Yes, yes and yes (I contribute money).

This should be a big story. Very very big.

I came here to type that, so I'll just upvote yours instead. Such a versatile device, the Steam Deck!

YouTube is slow on my smart TV, and I'm a YT Premium subscriber. I call BS.

I'm A YouTube Premium subscriber, and I've been noticing this delay on my TV for a few days now - a very noticeable, long pause when opening the home screen until the thumbnails are loaded. I'll explicitly check other places too now, I'm not sure if it's also happening in Firefox for me.

OMG, I feel so seen rn 😳

Dying to know what happened 👁️👁️

Finally Windows users have a legit reason to use the command line! /s

I stick with DuckDuckGo, it stays as it is. Every time I go to Google I see they are messing with the experience, making it easier to end up on sponsored content and harder to just get what you need. Not so with DuckDuckGo.

This comment seems misunderstood, judging by the downvotes.

Blockchain mathematically guarantees trust... for info stored on the blockchain. What guarantee do you have that this info matches things that happen in reality?

If you say: we need a social contract to ensure people update the blockchain, then I say: that defeats the purpose of the heavy lifting you need to mathematically guarantee info on the blockchain is genuine. Let's just have a social contact to pay the artist when appropriate.

I don't see what other way could exist to keep the blockchain and reality in sync.

Ok, ok, hold on - what's being sold here? A link to a digital asset or something else? If it's a link, I still don't get the point. Does that link (or whatever it is) confer some kind of license? What's the use case for faking this data and why are we defending from this?

Hopefully you are right.

If you are referring to scam artists, you are 100% right! Also, some actual artists might have got some money out of it, but I suspect the majority of dough that exchanged hands went to the former kind.

Awesomely described - you have a way with words... mindbleach.

Kali Linux introduced a script to reskin the DE to look as closely as possible like Windows a few years ago.

Thanks, great list!
