Oh yeah, especially just to get a birds eye of an unfamiliar area.

Tommy! Pick up your phone and check Lemmy!

But that will be… gasp …boring.

Jokes aside carplay in my car usually just plays podcasts, and sometimes displays navigation, though for the most part it is not needed as I learn the streets.

Oh yeah, millions of computers calculating the next lucky useless number that an algorithm has decided is valuable.

It madness…

What a massive waste of resources.

I am allways concerned about off shore power, it gives a huge opening to a foreign actor to stealthily attack them under water…

But as long as they wont replace existing powerplants and just export the surplus, I am fine with it.

“Technical flight” sounds like something Elon would say when presenting a new double decker airplane:

“We acchived technical flight for .32 seconds, unfortunately seven out of the four engines were destroyed on landing, but we got some new data, so the test was an amazing success!”

Cue insane cheering from staff.

Which is exactly what I have been trying to say

Why would they change an entry on the blockchain?

To make the dumb idea of tracking peoperties on the blockchain there needs to be admin tools to restore the NFT to the proper owner.

If the NFT gets transfered to someone else illegally, there needs to be tools to add another entry to the chain with a note saying that the NFT was stolen, and this new change restores the ownership to the lawful owner.

I recomment that you read my earlier comment to read my argument.

You seem to misstakenly believe that I support this, I don’t, I just argued against a dumb reason as to why it wouldn’t work.

Well, just because a company holds the ledger of who owns what doesn’t make it impossible to police, governments order companies to do stuff all the time, that wouldn’t stop, but it would make it more difficult to police.

Unreal Tournament 2004, with few players it turns its normal frantic and fast paced gameplay into a suspensfull slower experience which is awesome.

I think you can get it on the internet archive as it stopped being sold on gog and steam this spring.

OpenRA - Do you remember the old classic series Command & Conquer ?

Ok, lets disregard the regulatory issues, are you really asking people to sign up for a completely different ISP just to unlock their house with an NFT key?

As for a delay to update ownership, fine that would add some leniency and is not an unresonable feature.

But I just can’t see what problem an NFT key would solve, we don’t usually lock/unlock our front door with the deed of the home, what would the advantage be of doing that?

How would that work in reality, how would the lock know that the NFT in question is the actual legal ownership of the house?

The only way to guarantee that is to change the law that deeds of houses can only be an NFT.

Otherwise someone could sell a house on paper, but retain the NFT to have access to the house.

An NFT lock would also have the following problems, excluding the trust of ownership in the real world.

Power to the lock is required, if your backup battery is dead then you might be locked out during a power cut.

Internet access is required, during a powercut your router will probably die as well, so even if a battery backup is working, you’d still be locked out.

Your ISP could have service interruptions, no internet, no access to the latest blockchain updates, meaning that the lock can’t trust that you actually have ownership/access, that would be an insanely easy way to hack the lock.

There are plenty of alternatives to the Kindle, several years ago I used the Kobo Glo, worked fine with PDFs, though I remeber having to hack it’s local database to make it work without an account.

Dankpods needs to see this.

~20min after the post went up, OP has posted no thoughts…

So I’ll put in my own…

When I run Linux on a laptop, I tend to run Fluxbox, it uses a tiny ammount of screen real estate and is flexible snd nice to work with.

I am a bit sad that fluxbox won’t be updated to wayland (at least not when I checked the last time), and I hope that waybox will be a good replacement.

About ten years ago, I switched to Linux, but two years later I switched back to Windows for gaming, I didn’t want to have to deal with gaming on Linux and fiddle with settings to get it all working.

I know that things have changed and that gaming on Linux is far better now, but as I now work mostly in Windows, I am just too comfortable with it to switch again right now.

As have I (:
