Those two reasons are also given but the deeper belief is that private or extra statal monies shouldn't exist. Like monero draws the same ire despite it being outside of the crypto trading and financial industry world as well as low energy usage.

Good summary.

To others reading, it's just gimped Chaumian ecash, as the privacy is removed for the receiver. It actually seems like it could be useable now (was just terrible for a long time) but Cashu (bitcoin based ecash) is streets ahead.

The politics of C3 is mixture of older anarcho communist hackers and contemporary progressive statists. So against authoritarian government, if it's right-wing, and privacy to protect against surveillance capitalism (rather than from the state).

So things like bitcoin are not liked as they're outside of the state and money should be a function of a benevolent left-wing state.

I have the Intel Core Ultra and on the first mainboard I had (which Framework replaced because there were other issues) the fan ran quite a lot and was annoying. On the second board the fan never runs unless I'm compiling something.

I've probably flown on 200 Ryanair flights and think the service is great. They get you from A to B cheap and mostly on time. If you adjust your expectations that they're a bus you'll have a better time. In response to your last paragraph. Their ability to set prices as they see fit has allowed them to offer mostly very cheap prices. Regulate this and say goodbye to those prices.

So it's an "open standard" and you can use any chain that meets Coinbase's "acceptance criteria". So under this guise, their whole goal is to make themselves centralizing force.

Where's the transcript?

Unexpectedly a great primer on ECC.

You're removing the middleman (Play or F-Droid) so I don't see how.

In response to "our country's heritage": Ireland is not a person so the concept is entirely political.

And provided you don't cause any negative externalities, you should have the default right to do whatever you want on your land.

The underlying problem is that it violates the owner's property rights. Whether they rent or or leave unoccupied their property, even if it's scarce, is their business. And not letting the owner manage their property as they see fit causes all sorts of wider problems.

I'm assuming from reading your other comments you're not going to be sympathetic to this argument so let me give you two anecdotal incidents.

The first is about a woman who is 70 years old. She lives off a state pension which is supplemented by a small rental income from a three bedroom apartment she owns. The apartment is quite old, and needs refurbishment, so she can only generally rent it to students or non-professionals who pay a modest rent. After maintenance costs, property tax, and building management fees she doesn't get much but enough so she doesn't have to rely on her children.

One day, one of the tenants stopped paying rent. Rather than asking him to leave immediately she gave him some extra time to get the rent. Rather than do this, he decided he would do an occupation. So first he terrorized the other tenants so they left and then proceeded to occupy the entire apartment, including turning one bedroom into a gym. Police were called quite a few times but they said they couldn't do anything until they received a court order. So for a year and a half, this guy lived there rent free with water and electricity being paid for as well (you can cut off internet as it's not deemed essential).

When the court order finally came through the police didn't even bother showing up and it was the locksmith who chased the guy out. He hasn't faced any consequences and could continue to do this again and again. As for the owner, she had to take out loans (some with 20% interest) cover the costs this guy incurred. She, who is Spanish, will never rent out to Spanish people again.

The second is about a taxi driver in his late 40s. After a long period of saving he managed to save enough for a deposit to get a mortgage on a costal apartment that his family would use in the summers and rent the rest of the time. While he could have just listed it on Airbnb, he decided to rent it out to a woman with children on a long-term basis (non-summer months).

So she moves in and when he comes a few days later to collect the first month's rent he's informed that she won't be paying rent and because of the children it's going to be impossible to kick her out. He tries to negotiate with her over a few months, including talking to the town hall to get some some rent stipend, all to no avail. Eventually, he had to use desokupa services to get her out but not before this woman had caused significant property damage.

He also went into debt and his marriage almost failed because of the stress and financial strain. Once he finishes repairing all the damage (which he has to do himself as he can't afford to pay someone else) he will rent it out again but only through Airbnb to foreigners.

So this policy has ensured that honest people, renters and landlords, get punished by dishonest people who won't see any consequences either.

Many non-professional landlords don't ask for references nor do background checks, they just give you a contract. So I imagine it's pretty easy to continue to do the same trick over and over unless they somehow manage to get their face in a local paper.

The effect of this is more reluctance to rent out for fear this will happen. Or only rent to rich foreigners who won't pull this scam. Lest the landlord find themselves in debt.

Also, the okupa is very much deciding to do this knowing they can get away with it.

As they operate in a gray zone, they are generally not advertised. But even cops will give you numbers or info on how to join WhatsApp groups where you can hire someone.

Despite all the publicity, I've never heard of anyone using the company you referenced. At least not in Andalucía.

If you own a second property and decide to rent it out and your tenant decides to stop paying rent you're fucked. Until they get an eviction notice from a court, which can take more than a year, you have to keep paying utilities for them. Nor can you change the locks. If the okupa has children you're even more fucked.

Considering how many desokupa services exist I'd say it's a real problem.

The "cannot escape IPv4" is apt because while you can setup an IPv6 only VPC so many things break; from various AWS services to package repositories [0]. So then you're stuck either enabling IPv4 or running a NAT64 gateway (or trusting someone to run one for you [1]).

I badly broke my wrist a few years ago and couldn't move my fingers so I used mirrorboard [1]. I was actually surprised how well and fast I could type after just a week.

The weight comment was facetious (obviously, I thought). That said, some cyclists might actually consider it seriously.

The caps on presta valves aren't necessary as there's no way for dirt to get into the valve stem (unlike Schrader valves which can get clogged). The caps are useful for transporting the tube though to prevent the valve from puncturing anything.

Wheel reflectors are also pretty useless so you can remove those too. Plus you save some weight.

On chain fees are usually not more than $0.50 but if you paid on-chain (regular bitcoin transaction) then you'd be paying that (and have to wait 10 minutes for the confirmation). But most transactional purchases are done on lightning, a layer 2 system, which are virtually instant and very low in fees (like a cent or two).

Depends on your expectations but was generic Hans Zimmer alright.

I started using a phone with GrapheneOS recently and, whilst I occasionally miss Google Maps, most of the Google services I don't miss. But not having push on some many apps is quite annoying. It's nice to see that some apps have actually implemented UnifiedPush and it's not just a specification.

Tor usage hasn't had any major uptick as it seems people have resorted to using (scammy) VPNs to bypass these restrictions instead. For people I communicate with in Zambia over Matrix, it has suddenly become their primary messaging system.

I also wrote my own age compatible pass clone a year ago but yours is much better. You've gotten a new user.

Heresy. Is there any particular reason? Even the people who I've talked to that like rubber dome say linear is better.

Or even a VM if you don't want to have a physical phone.

We would have been much worse off if governments, or governmental bodies like the UN, allocated IP addresses rather than a private anarcho-like entity.

Why was it necessary for Troy to create an account on behalf of someone else?

There's still a fair amount of people that are suspect that the published binary doesn't match the source and the app could be doing nefarious things. It will be interesting to see how this sentiment progresses. Reproducible builds would help in this regard.

I have quite an idiosyncratic keyboard layout and when I switch to use someone else's (normal) keyboard I'm puzzled for a moment but then switch into it. You might find you can do this easier than you think. Try a custom keyboard at home and treat it like a hobby, only using it when you feel like it.

Lang Belta is a fun one.
