The benefit is less about decentralization in this case (although it would be nice because fuck corporations, especially Ticketmaster) and more about the use of cryptography. The blockchain and non-fungible aspect allows people to buy tickets secondhand without a doubt in their mind that the tickets are fakes or copies, all without the need for a corpo-approved marketplace which make the rich leeches richer.
NFTs actually do have a few practical uses, e.g. concert tickets, but the number is very small and the relevant industries are unlikely to adapt them anyways because capitalism
Do we really need a signal group for this? Would much rather have the torrents be uploaded to a public tracker
Spanish: we got to choose, most people chose something close to their real name
Mandarin: my teacher’s Taiwanese wife painstakingly came up with names for us that were close-sounding, or at the very least had the same first letters. It was very cool of her to do
Does anyone know of a way I could download the entire English N64 library? I don’t remember there being a bulk download option on Myrient
Just use the first number the user enters as their age
I’m 58008 btw
You basically just described the DHT. Something to make the torrenting experience more accessible to non-technical people would be cool tho
Sony bit the dust? I bought a Sony OLED 8 months ago and it’s fantastic
Secure Boot and TPM are not Windows-only technologies. I’m secure booting openSUSE right now
Fitting that someone from an instance on a random subdomain commented on this lol
Nvidia is busy trying to kill their consumer GPU division to free up more fab space for data center GPUs chasing that AI bubble
Which seems wildly shortsighted, like surely the AI space is going to find some kind of more specialized hardware soon, sort of like how crypto moved to ASICs. But I guess bubbles are shortsighted…
I did it for a while and it was a fun little technical project but once the pictrs image cache exhausted the amount of storage I got in the cloud host service’s free tier, I stopped because I didn’t feel like spending money on it
If you have the ability to torrent, go to FMHY (someone else linked it here) and find 720pier. They’re recordings, not live streams, but personally I like that for American football since you can skip the insane amount of commercials. They do have a minimum ratio requirement but the site is popular enough that it’s easy to meet just by seeding for a day or so

Being able to aim with a mouse on a PC port will be a godsend
Is Rev 2 when they patched the exploit that was allowing people to jailbreak their Wiis?
I have met several people who told me they don’t mind advertising. Unfortunately, I don’t think you’re gonna convince enough of the normies to get rid of advertising wholesale
On the other hand, I think pretty much everyone can agree that the current amount of advertising is excessive, especially when consuming media. A movement against excessive advertising would be a lot more successful imo
For the past 4 Christmases, I’ve gone snowboarding by myself. I love it. Snowboarding is my favorite activity and ski resorts are practically empty on Christmas Day.
If I have some social energy, I’ll chat with randos on the lift or at the hotel hot tub afterwards. Or if I feel like taking a break from humanity, I won’t speak a word the entire day. Both can be fun. Just following whatever my feelings are that day.
Everything is homogenized now
I’m interested to know what you mean by this, because if anything, I’ve heard the older generations reminisce about ye olde monoculture when there was only a handful of good shows on a handful of television channels, and everyone would tune in weekly to watch and then talk about the next day around the water cooler. I feel like streaming has led to things being more fragmented, both because you need to be subscribed to the one service that carries the show and because there’s so many more shows being made.
Is the Claude Code extension for VS code also using a compromised dependency? Or just the npm package?
