I’m also on Mastodon
I don’t know how the technical implementation will work, but here is a post I found.
The idea is that you transfer money from the bank to your device, just like withdrawing cash from an ATM. Transferring money from one wallet to another should be able to be offline.
It seems like privacy is a priority, if only to satisfy privacy groups and improve acceptance.
Recently read an ELI5 of the digital euro and was pleasantly surprised. If it works as designed, you can perform offline payments from one device to another, which sounds like your use case. No central servers, no blockchain.
All of that and Custom DNS? Sounds like a pet project with scope issues.
I’ve settled on Fast Draw. You get to use exactly one widget, but it’s lightweight and lets me launch apps.
While I can fully understand his pain, I can’t quite follow how adding a paid subscription model will make his life easier (except financially).
Before, he had to deal with entitled asshats, and now he’ll have to deal with asshats feeling even more entitled, because they paid for it.
The EU is a relatively large market, and it wouldn’t make economic sense to develop and produce EU-specific devices. I’m pretty sure you’ll also be seeing replaceable batteries.
If you haven’t published a few papers then your preference in acronyms is irrelevant.
AI comprises everything from pattern recognition like OCR and speech recognition to the complex transformers we know now. All of these are specialized in that they can only accomplish a single task. Such as recognizing graffiti or generating graffiti. AGI, artificial general intelligence, would be flexible enough to do all the things and is currently considered the holy grail of ai.
Hey look everyone, we got a dirty belter here!
It’s been a while since I looked into it, and things might have changed since then, but some stuff off the top of my head:
Apart from that it’s somewhat politically questionable, based in Dubai (I think), with dubious financial backing and Russian developers. Because it’s closed source and the encryption is proprietary, there’s no way of knowing how much info it leaks.
I was wondering if all Alphabet employees aren’t allowed to use ad blockers. Do they really believe that the internet without adblockers is a sane experience?
Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,…) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.
I’ve been paying for wallabag for years but am slowly getting frustrated with the lack of updates to the UI. The Android app hasn’t been updated in ages, and the web UI is clunky and misses features. You can’t even change the font, for example. Omnivore wins there on all counts.
OTOH, Omnivore can’t properly handle multi-page articles.
That doesn’t look half bad, actually!
I was pretty impressed by what I saw from Kotlin. Pragmatic and terse, not as academic as Java. Reminds me of the shift away from EJB to Spring. Have been reading up on Rust and thought that with the LVM and WebAssembly (also for the backend), it is perfectly positioned as an alternative. What do you think?
Sadly, I’ve haven’t been programming for a while, but I did program Java. Why do you consider it legacy and do you see a specific language replacing it?
Maybe this is the socialist European in me, but I can’t believe that. Without a contract, the employer isn’t obligated to pay you at all and you’re not obligated to work. Even if it’s just sealed with a handshake, there is a legal framework for both parties. If you just treat it all like an EULA and say whatever, just let me work for you and it’ll work out, then that’s your problem.
If my workload means I consistently have to put in more than 8 hours a day, it’s my responsibility to report that. I have a contract for 40 hours a week, I’m not a slave.
I’ve been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!
Who knows, maybe OP is playing competive PVP in the browser on his phone?
