But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.
When I shopped for wireless earbuds, I spent a half hour comparing the top brands (most expensive), so I ended up asking the clerk what he used (saw one in his ear). The ones he recommended were $20 and they’re great, sound decent, and last all day.
That the labels for the apps get truncated so you can only read “Proton” plus the first letter of the app. I’m only able to distinguish based on the icons which isn’t great because Pass and Drive are similar colors, and Pass and VPN, and Drive and Calendar are similar shapes.
A prototype is available, though it's Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this'll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to "return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals"....

I think every node needs the same dataset for the blockchain to be valid.
Maybe a rolling dataset, with the earliest transactions falling off after their data is somehow archived (but accessible to the current nodes)?
OR
The current nodes could do a hardfork (NewNodes), with the ability to reference the legacy chain snapshot for the next X years.
Wallet1 created in 2015. Contains 1 XMR. Hardfork in 2025 to truncate the entire DB which becomes a balance reference copy. After the snapshot, they would have a balance on the “new” chain. In order to transact, they’d have to use a New Node which knows their previous balance from the legacy chain.
I can’t help but feel that everything in the flashbacks were daydreams of Fry. After all, he did go back in time and live out that timeline, eventually becoming Lars (when Bender shoots through the window, burning Fry and flash-fossilizing Seymour.
Thanks. What a ridiculous restriction. Is LW defederated from lemmy.one? I can’t see my other replies from the other account. Is that because dot One allows VPNs?
