In the direction of Copy On Write?! 🤓
In an attempt to get kineto running on my #PowerPC machine I have backported go-gemini used by it to go 1.10 only to realise that Drew's thing itself uses the newer templating language, updating to newer html/template is easy, but the templating language itself uses newer reflection features, namely MapRange iterator — getting that to work on 32-bit PowerPC won't be easy. A bummer!

Why even post all this shite? Does it still feel original to them? 🤔
@marioguzman
Compared to Disk Utility it didn't change THAT much 😂
Does Disk Utility.app even exist still? 🤔
@Tony
Now there are no tits… And there is nowhere to get the fuck out 😩

You celebrate the bobbies joining us on the Mastadon network by wearing panties with cop's face?
Happy #Caturday y'all! Today we're celebrating Caturday with another $1k vet bill... yay. 😒 But on a happier note, here's mama Prudence (bottom) with her daughter Ingrid, doing some synchronized napping. 😸

Those who can afford a nuclear power plant can do lots of bad things. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, they can take over the distributed ledger by flooding it with nodes under their control and achieve something like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20211222000248/https://fortune.com/2018/05/29/bitcoin-gold-hack/
Some time ago there were lots of debates whether China can take over Bitcoin, I'm not sure what the consensus is today.

Yes, NK have been holding summits on cryptocurrencies — governments see it as a viable options to circumvent sanctions.
At the same time these countries might be banning mining by individuals domestically — not hard, since they control the power grid, and yes, sadly, they CAN decide what you spend your electricity on even if you pay for it!
@admitsWrongIfProven
@Hyolobrika
And again — that's it! They are both allowed to circulate on paper, but are de-facto under government control.
I've been staying out of the loop, but both Russia and… say North Korea have been actively encouraging cryptocurrencies — there were a plethora of cases such as this: https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/28/virgil_griffith_guilty_north_korea/

@Hyolobrika
Taking them under control involves extra steps, like creating your own cryptocurrency and banning all the "wrong" ones, e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_ruble
This effectively shifts the perception of the general public: "It's not that these cryptocurrencies thingies that everyone's talking about are banned — it's just the bad ones, ones that are probably used by our enemies anyway"

@Hyolobrika
You can just impose fines on organisations for accepting payments in cryptocurrencies — that's it, problem effectively solved! Paying in cryptocurrency becomes as "easy" as buying illicit drugs or guns.
In countries with freedoms and rule of law you can exclaim: "But muh rights, you can't do that!",— doesn't work in the non-free regimes, they do whatever they deem fit and don't ask you about your rights.
@admitsWrongIfProven
@Hyolobrika
This alone makes me think that they do not solve the problem they claim to solve: taking cryptocurrencies under control seems to be relatively easy, and they are merely being tolerated in countries where people already have greater independence from the government.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
