I have a Pleroma instance running on a 32-bit PowerPC machine (old Mac Mini) running musl flavour of Void — which uses very few GNU userspace. But in any case, my post was a joke — I presume, same as yours 😁

In the direction of Copy On Write?! 🤓

In an attempt to get kineto running on my 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!

@taylan
No, it isn't!
On Fedi it's most often Alpine and that doesn't use GNU userspace 😜

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? 🤔

@lain @ocean
DSi would suit them better — it has dual cameras!

@Tony
Now there are no tits… And there is nowhere to get the fuck out 😩

@get @lain
Regular? I thought it keeps you bold. Sometimes bold italic… 🥴

@kirby
They are DDoSing your girl (Plemora) — that's what they always do 😩

@kirby
You celebrate the bobbies joining us on the Mastadon network by wearing panties with cop's face?

This is amazing! This has nothing to do with Rust the programming language or Mastodon the software/social network: it's about Mastodon the band and Rust Is Just Right is the name of the website 😂

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: web.archive.org/web/2021122200
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: theregister.com/2021/09/28/vir
@admitsWrongIfProven

@Hyolobrika
Taking them under control involves extra steps, like creating your own cryptocurrency and banning all the "wrong" ones, e.g.: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_
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"
@admitsWrongIfProven

@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.
