And that’s a real question!

1 USD is worth 1 USD because you can pay 1 USD of taxes. It is backed by political promises, oil, weapons and war. This can’t end well.
Crypto means cryptography. Cryptocurrencies are a variety of things from stablecoin (digital token backed by fiat money often by a private company ), company shares, community projects, scams, scams, ponzi, scams, cool technical experiments and technically bad experiment. In the other hand there is Bitcoin (and Monero to some extent) that is owned by humanity, no foundation, no company, no state. It is backed by a proof of past energy brining the most innovative security system in the history of IT, not based on restricted access and opacity but by economical incentive to play fair with others in a big game theory peer-to-peer network.
Bitcoin is not the money of the internet. It’s the internet of money.

Then what is money? State approved piece of paper backed by oil, weapons, war and slavery?

The private key was.

To keep it short there is two big families of wallets. Hot and cold wallet. Hot wallets are the one that got an internet connection wether it’s a constant one or periodically connecting. Cold wallets are never connected to the internet and often are dedicated hardware devices with the better ones having a Secure Element to store the private key or even sometimes sign transactions directly in it.
Victims of this attacks were using hot wallet on a not-dedicated machine which is consider bad practice. Hot wallets have to be consider more like a physical wallets for daily spends and cold wallet being privilege for long-term saving and monthly or yearly transactions.
I’m not an expert but desktop OS (especially Windows) are not as well contained than phone so I almost never use hot wallet on my computer. Often users are tricked to sign transactions to get stolen but I think if the wallet is unlocked a malware with the right privileges/permissions could easily steals money.
by reading some file in the computer Aren’t Steam games always executable for Windows?

LOL, they should patent video games in general to this point.
- Comment on Favorite Modded Console? 3 weeks ago:
Modded Wii is indeed awesome, I recommend you to check how to improve graphics on modern pannel if you don’t have a CRT TV.
OG Switch modding is great but offline only if you want to be careful.
3DS is indeed awesome for homebrew, I know PS Vita (especially the OLED one) are really appreciated.
PS2 is another great system to mod and with of course the gamecube!

If you don’t mind seperated tools that do well in their own :
- Zulip for chat
- Jitsi for video meeting
- And whatever calendar you want for the calendar
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 4 months ago:
I can see a future where big YouTube conten creators taking some independance and start monetizing a peertube instance with a real infrastructure and not just a cheap VPS. Maybe I am utopist.

- Comment on Federated wiki software? 6 months ago:
Well, with Kiwix I was able to download the whole english wikipedia with mid-res pictures on my 128GB USB Drive. I think the 600TB you’re talking about includes videos and hish-res pictures.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 6 months ago:
Or maybe Miraheze but it doesn’t sem federated either
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 6 months ago:
Hosting a wiki isn’t that expensive it’s basically texts and some lightweight pictures. The whole english wikipedia is around 109GB of data.
- Comment on Fediverse alternative to Pinterest? 6 months ago:
Algorithmes aren’t inherently bad. The fact that they are opaque blackbox imposed to you by the plateforms so you get addicted is why they are bad. The day we have the choice between multiple client-side transparent algos it will be better.
- Comment on Fediverse alternative to Pinterest? 6 months ago:
You simply don’t get the usecase. I don’t want Pinterest to show me stuff that I’m into. I want it to show me similar pictures to build coherant yet creative moodboards.

- Comment on Why should someone join the Fediverse? 7 months ago:
Because everyone miss the old OpenWeb ! We don’t like closed API ! We don’t like opaque and imposed algorithmes ! We don’t like centralized closed plateform ! We don’t want to be enslave to create data. We don’t want their addicting mechanism, digitalizing heroin. We don’t want blockchains to record every interractions we have !
All we want is Web0 ! And the Fediverse might be part of this better Open Web.
- Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? 7 months ago:
Cryptobros aren’t really present on there, at least I never encounter such people. But it’s mainly a “Bitcoiner Bubble” and that’s why I have some issue with staying on there regularly, I don’t like mind-bubbles. However there is some amazing experimentation on there with Value4Value or tipping sats (fractions of bitcoins) instead of liking, local-side open source algorithmes that you can choose and change and the thing I’m most excited about is Ditto which is a community server that act as a Nostr relay AND an ActivityPub instance.
I think Nostr is superior to ActivityPub because you don’t need accounts, it’s authentification is based on asymetrical cryptographic keys which enable digital identities without a central server. However I use the Fediverse more because it is more mature, less mind-bubble and fucking better than commercial, centralized plateforms with opaque algorithmes that you have no control over.

Look at what nostr community is doing with zaps, I think it’s cool
