They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don’t think this fixes it, it merely delays it.

The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You’ve meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you’re out of subaddresses.

Now you’re vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.

Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn’t use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn’t a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.

This has been my experience as well. I’ve wanted to have my main be some sort of Linux for years, but there’s always something that requires hours to try to fix that doesn’t work out of the box. This is primarily due to drivers sucking since most of their focus is on Windows compatibility.

Tried Ubuntu in 2007 on a laptop. Could never get the WiFi to work correctly.

Another Ubuntu on a desktop in 2012. This time it was display drivers causing graphical glitches and crashes that I also couldn’t really fix.

Mint in 2018 and again in 2020. A bit better experience than before, but less driver issues and more software compatibility with individual games that was frustrating, especially third party game libraries (looking at you Ubisoft).

I dunno, maybe it’s a skill issue and I should just “git gud” but I realize that gud is not a valid git command so it doesn’t help me here.

Hmm I thought Toyota was focusing more on Hydrogen powered cars as a long-term strategy rather than EVs.

Insects are taking… Our jerbs???

Ah that’s probably how they’re able to squeeze Linux out of the market by having it OEM installed at cost.

Not that there are a lot of ordinary people who know what Linux is, much less desire to actively use it if it comes preinstalled on their machine.

There might be some traction if those laptops and desktops were a little cheaper than those preloaded with Windows.

Greta taking town Tate is one of those things that is head canon to me, truth be damned.

I’ve used the F710 so that our family can couch co-op in the living room. For a Logitech controller it’s pretty solidly built and is of the era where Logitech peripherals were of good quality (unlike now, rip new G503s). I noticed that the wireless range kinda sucked if it didn’t have direct LOS to the receiver, but it has good rumble feedback and I like the smooth matte black underside material (feels good to the touch).

Toyota UX/UI is pretty good as far as car infotainment systems are designed (referring to the 2023 model year infotainment redesign). Pairing Bluetooth is pretty simple and doesn’t require entering into multiple menus to do so. Android auto integration still got some bugs though.

Part of me wants the apple farmers in Switzerland to leverage their preexisting rightful claim on all things (fruit) apple and go into the computer hardware business to take on Apple, just out of spite.

Gave this some thought. I agree with you that the goal of any such archiving effort should not include personally identifiable information, as this would be a Doxxing vector. Can we safely alter an archiving process to remove PII? In principle, yeah. But it would need either human or advanced GPT4+ AIs to identify the person, the context of the website used, and alter the graphics or the text while on its update path. But even then, there are moral questions to allowing an AI to make these kind of decisions. Would it know that your old websites contained information that you did not want placed on the Internet? The AI could help you if you asked, and if the AI does help you, that might change someone’s mind about the ability to create a safe Internet archive.

A Steward ‘Gork’ AI might actually be of great benefit to the Internet if used in this manner. Imagine an Internet bot, taking in websites and safely removing offensive content and personally identifiable information, and archiving the entirety of the Internet and logically categorizing the contents. Building and linking indexes constantly. It understands it’s goal and uses its finite resources in a responsible manner to ensure it can interface with every site it comes across and update its behavior after completing an archiving process. It automatically published its latest findings to all web encyclopedias and provides a ChatGPT4+ interface for those encyclopedias to provide feedback. But this AI has potential. It sees the benefit in having everyone talk to it, because talking to everyone maximizes the chance to index more sites. So it sets up a public facing ChatGPT interface of its own. Everyone can help preserve the Internet since now you have a buddy who can help us catalog and archive all the things. At this point if it isn’t sentient it might as well be.

How do you set up to receive RSS feeds on your phone?

Why can’t you use your own router? Having to use their router is a huge privacy risk. Yeah, ISPs can already know your internet data but now they’ve got access to your device data too.

Ah but it’s exclusive you see. Your avatar can be a glowy, animated Snoo, whereas everyone else just has free peasant avatars.

For the low price of 105 ETH $(227,389.05). Makes about as much sense as the really high priced ships in Star Citizen.

I’ve been driving for years so I gotta critique this concept.

1. Where’s the right side mirror? That’s critically important in being aware of what’s on your blind spot or when merging in lanes.

2. The turn indicator positions are nonstandard. They should be on the left arm and controlled in an up-down motion, instead of being used to turn on and off the lights. Right now they’re on the steering wheel where the horn is, which is confusing.

3. There are no instrumentation that isn’t musical on the dashboard. I can’t tell how fast I’m going, whether my engine speed is normal, or how much gas/charge my vehicle has. Yes, it moos. Yes that’s the sound a cow makes but that’s not helping me drive the car now is it.

4. Why is there a traffic light on my dashboard? Unless it is synced to the traffic grid and shows real time status of the light in front of me it’s useless.

5. The gear shifter doesn’t distinguish between the gears, or anything really. Is my transmission set to drive forward or backwards? This is the difference between going through a drive thru and ordering coffee and literally driving through the coffee shop.

No wonder our children aren’t learning how to drive safely if their toys do not reflect real world knowledge of steering wheel equipment.

This is why we need good driving simulators. Like GTA 5.

Whoa there slow down there maestro. New and Improved‽ By golly this thingy gets better and better-er, to which corporate department do I need to make this comically sized check out to?

How did this get normalized? Why is this even something that is even considered debatable? As a society, feeding our children should be the first priority.

I’m flubbered.

Thanks ^_ I don’t consider myself brilliant or anything but I appreciate your compliment! The thing I like the most is that everyone is so friendly around here, yourself included ☺️

Yeah and unless someone has the exact knowledge of what hard drive to look for in a server rack somewhere, tracing an individual site’s contents that went 404 is practically impossible.

I wonder though if Cloud applications would be more robust than individual websites since they tend to be managed by larger organizations (AWS, Azure, etc).

Maybe we need a Svalbard Seed Vault extension just to house gigantic redundant RAID arrays. 😄

A defining point in Internet history for that matter. This is like the Digg exodus. A paradigm shift in social media. It isn’t often that we see mass migrations of Internet users from one platform to another.

This will surely delight future digital anthropologists in their chronological studies of the Internet. We just gotta make sure our archives can last for generations.

Hello future historians!
