If top level domains are user-configured based on which start zones users select, could that run into issues where two people think they’re going to the same domain, but actually go to different domains?

It sounds like having your instance admin in charge of what google.com points to, instead of ICANN being in charge of all of them.

This is why an actual democracy - not an oligarchy masquerading as one - would reduce overall violence.

This dude saw a bunch of rich people unilaterally deciding who would die, and he did the same.

If they’re “anti-violence” and it doesn’t even cross their mind that they’re defending wage slavery.

He looks like Uncle Sam but fun

Isn’t it just someone else watching the kids and cooking the food? Except now that daycare worker or cook might be a man.

It’s certainly an efficiency improvement (different people different skills) but not double the work IMHO.

Now when covid hit and we had to educate our own kids and cook our own food, while holding down our jobs - that was double the work.

Your wallet stores digital coins that are blindly signed by an exchange. The Taler Exchange keeps funds matching all unspent digital cash in a settlement account. (Source)

When you add dollars or bitcoins or whatever to Taler, you’re making a deposit.

The only thing we all have in common politically is that we don’t think social media should be controlled by a handful of gigantic manipulative corporations.

Why deposit your money with a central authority? The linked website points out that Taler adds instant confirmation to Bitcoin, but you can already get that using the Lightning Network - without custodial risk.

Of course! Relax. It’s more precise to be clear they’re talking about people unhoused.

Homeless what, exactly? Sorry, you’re gonna need to throw in the word “person” just to be clear.

This is big news!

Which proponents?

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

Every time I need to buy something at work, they ask me to research three options.

I already did the research. I can tell which option is the best one already. So the two alternatives are always more expensive, and I tell them that “the cheap one” will work well enough.

Once I worked with an engineer like this. His eyes were so bad that he was ineligible for laser eye surgery. When he took them off to fix something you could practically hear a “zoom-in” sound effect.

That answers my question, I meant the latter.

Understood, sorry to imply that you were.

Every Windows apologist: “I will keep current on the hacks to fix it forever, easy.”

I’m glad I invested the time learning Linux before I had kids and now have no time for anything.

Do you mean using your existing Windows install, or installing it from scratch?

BSD is more open towards being closed.
