- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 4 days ago:
It’s a thorn, and it makes the “th” sound. It’s an outdated letter not used in any modern languages.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 4 days ago:
Crypto doesn’t have the same consumer protections as centralized cards, though. You can’t dispute a fraudulent transaction with crypto, as every transaction, much like cash, is permenant and irreversable. That and crypto also has a negative connotation with scams, as it is very commonly used to scam people.
The technology and the idea of a decentralized currency is cool, and with cryptos like Monero, can even mean private transfers of money across the internet, but it also has its flaws.
- Comment on Why PlayStation Graphics Wobble, Flicker And Twitch 4 days ago:
Here is a GPL licensed one that was forked before the license change. Not as feature rich, but definitely still a quality emulator: github.com/Trixarian/duckstation-gpl
- Comment on Why PlayStation Graphics Wobble, Flicker And Twitch 1 week ago:
Any emulator that supports PGXP, which is most of them. Duckstation is the one most people recommend, but that one has weird licensing issues and a dev who loves to start drama.

Also who decided to make TVs lightweight? Real TVs have curves.

Yeah, maybe guide that beam with electromagnetic fields. Maybe we can dye phosphors on the front of wherever it’s projecting onto so that we can make it a color display.

Or just one pixel that moves around really quickly.

- Comment on Facial recognition to be rolled out nationwide in major police reforms 2 weeks ago:
This is the same problem that we had in the US. Neoliberalism will always lead to fascism since it breeds the economic hardship that causes fascism or revolt, and the powerful are able to tilt the scale away from revolt towards fascism, which is their preference.
The solution is to take over the more left party by any means necessary since the UK, much like the US, has a FPTP voting system. In the US, the Democrats were consistently able to rig their primaries against the more leftist candidates through a multi-level strategy. Don’t let that happen over there.
Trump is a symptom of a greater problem in the US.

They smell just as much in my experience. It’s harder for a smoker to detect weed smell vs a non-smoker. Weed is a very potent smell.
Farting would just make it smell like farts and weed.
- Comment on OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse 2 weeks ago:
I get why they do this, because downgrade attacks are a thing that are used to exploit devices remotely, but there are other ways to implement this, like what GrapheneOS does. Downgrading can also just be restricted to unlocked bootloaders as well.
There is no good reason for devices to use efuses to block downgrades unless they are trying to restrict user freedom a la consoles.
- Comment on stelth 2 weeks ago:
Those still smell like crazy.

- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 1 month ago:
I think Bitwig was made by former Ableton employees, so it has a very similar workflow. It’s by far my favorite DAW, although nowadays, I’m trying to use Zrythm since I want to use as much open source software as possible.
