Sorry, you’re already the 47th oblast.

Free speech abolitionist.

i was for the most part only heating a single room

Have you made sure that your other rooms are not getting moldy? Cold air can’t carry as much moisture so your walls, furniture, etc. might be getting damper than they should be.

Well, now you can tweet wherever you like and don’t have to invent a silly new verb for every new platform.

There certainly is an insolent pig deserving of a proper slap down in the oval office.

It’s a belief in Techno-Jesus that will solve all our problems so we don’t have to solve them ourselves (don’t need to do the uncomfortable things we don’t want to). Just like aliens, the singularity, etc.

Trump accuses Zelensky of “gambling with World War Three”.

Which means that Trump is also gambling with it. Of course you’d need competent media to point out their hypocrisy.

More like a mafia protection racket.

From world police to mafia protection racket.

He meant “free speech abolitionist”, easy typo to make.

What? With Trump running the country like a mafia protection racket? How could that be?

Get ready for more anti-EU / anti-regulation / pro-AfD propaganda.

EU warning against advertising on X

… and Musk supporting anti-EU parties.

Sociopathic assholes.

Also why they (Musk especially visibly amongst them) try to destabilize the EU - the possibly most effective consumer protection organization that messes with their bottom line.

It’s a banana republic. Makes sense they want Panama.

Trump dislikes the “President Musk” nickname and finds Musk’s assertiveness challenging, though he values Musk’s financial contributions.

Obviously Musk is the provider in this relationship, so Trump is the trophy bride.

It just matters that it’s consistent. The transactions that are put into the blockchain just have to follow the rules of the blockchain and be the same for everyone who reads the blockchain. That’s all that “correctness” means as far as the blockchain is concerned.

Still useless for anything that depends on external data, since there can be no guarantee that what has been entered is correct. What’s the point of a consistent record of garbage?

But blockchain at its core is just a distributed database. One that has no central authority, can not be tampered with, cannot be altered, nor taken down if parametrized accordingly.

Which is completely useless if the data that goes into that blockchain isn’t guaranteed to be correct. And if there’s money in it you can bet your ass that someone will try to game the system.

You’re also glossing over the existing grid that needs money to be maintained while complaining that energy companies want money. Yes, there’s a general problem where society allowed (and partly encouraged) sociopaths to be unrestrained greedy assholes that needs some kind of solution, but not all companies are useless leeches, it’s “just” an all-pervading corruption that needs to be dealt with - and as long as that hasn’t happened, every idealistic solution faces the threat of being corrupted itself.

They should have focused on the name change, to prove that there is a demand for “GIMP but with another name”. Everything else can be done in the main project or any fork, and that those don’t exist show that the manpower needed for that isn’t really available.
