It's just used as a means of payment for very small amounts, even less than a single cent if you calculate in dollars.

If the latter we can self host AI.

Sure you can; I certainly can't, lacking the equipment, and the investment would be much higher than any return on it.

But beyond that many dislike crypto for gas cost and same for AI so strapping them together is way less palatable.

Nano, as I said, has no fees, and there's no miners, it's quite ecologically friendly. It does have other challenges (for example only being pseudonymous and fully traceable, plus fighting spam is an ongoing battle, no standard way of association a payment with an invoice). But I always liked its premise and it does make sense for such cases for me.

The beauty with how they implemented is that there's no explicit about apart from a wallet address they create for you, saved in a cookie, so you can straight up use it.

I'm not trying to argue that this is somehow revolutionary or the right way to do it, but it manages to leverage the advantages quote well in my opinion.

No, the Russians already provided the image with the lie

I love steam, but let's get real here for a second. Valve will change some day. Enshitification is inevitable.

Steam is an example where I'm not sure when it would happen.

It already comes with a hefty fee of 30% per sale on the platform. I don't think they can raise that without serious backlash. And there also isn't really a need, Steam prints money. It prints money because it's where users are. Users are there because they like the features. Some good features are only there because of laws (e.g. refunding); Valve can't remove these.

So how would you make the service even more profitable?

Enshittification happens because corporations want (more) money out of a service that built a userbase. These were often running at a loss. To turn a profit, they need to change.

Steam can sell you licenses to games you don't own already. It's up to each publisher. Valve doesn't care, they just deliver.

Which is a shame but not that surprising

crypto is cancer.

I respectfully disagree. There are legitimate use cases do make sense. Of course, these don't make tech bros rich quick so you don't often hear about them.

One of them that I like the idea of is NanoGPT. It's a frontend to various AI services where you pay per request instead of making accounts for each and pay with Nano. I haven't used it yet, but the currency makes a lot of sense there, as it is feeless and requests can cost less than a cent.

Another one is Monero for goods and services that might be illicit under one's jurisdiction. I don't want to go into the discussion whether this is right or wrong; all I want to say is that laws can be nonsensical and dangerous.

Lack of training data

No, there is nothing, and any investigation by copyright holders wouldn't lead to anything. Trying to get anything out of usenet today is futile.

I don't really know. For text based discussion, I prefer something like Lemmy, also due to better moderation tools etc. It's a cool early thread-based discussion tool, but mostly outdated.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely zero other use for it, and nobody should ever bother, it's wasted time.

YOUR REALITY IS SHAKEN

YOU HEAR THE WORD "MONDAY" ECHOING AND SHIFTING IN COLOURS

A kind of interesting phenomenon. He comes in with his dog, cries that he doesn't have a place to stay, Jon allows it for as long as needed and then... he just vanishes one day, leaving Odie with Jon, never to contact them again. Did something happen between the two? Was he ever real or a product of Jon's mind? A wiki states:

According to Davis, Lyman's original purpose was to be someone who Jon could actually talk to and express other ideas — a role gradually taken over by Garfield, himself.

It doesn't reveal who gave Lyman that purpose; it could be that it was Jon himself who, over the years, got less attached to reality, so he got done with talking to and interacting with Garfield.

That or it's just a lazy uninspired comic that only has a minimum level of continuity and doesn't care to explain why a former choir character suddenly vanishes.

It actually works. I read over it

Edit: interestingly, that link is now gone

Note: pressing continue doesn't solve it, the instructions that follow don't work because my adblock is DNS-based at system level.

Why so soft?

The vehicle seems to loud -> perform a check -> if it is too loud, confiscate to have it examined and fine the driver -> if vehicle is found to have been tampered with using illegal parts, don't return it and fine some more

Then bring it back into a legal state and auction it off anonymously

They're afraid of the drag dealers' wrath

Really? They might use some GNU programs, but I'm sure the default user land for OpenBSD is all theirs. Just because you know cp etc. as GNU utils doesn't mean the BSDs use the same ones. They are just part of the operating system. https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils tried to collect various BSD implementations for example

A synthetic substance similar to mescaline, less headspace and body load, more entactogen, shorter and more manageable duration. Kind of like a hedonistic version of psychs compared to LSD.

I was also with a provider that didn't offer API access for the longest time. When they then increased prices, I switched, now paying a third of their asking price per year at a very good provider.

I guess migrating is difficult if the provider doesn't offer a mechanism to either dump the DNS to a file or perform a zone transfer (the later being part of the standard).

Can only recommend INWX for domains, though my personal requirements aren't the highest.

Not true, I also enjoy stuff not created by workers, like mountains, forests or the sea.

On the other hand, I hate a lot of stuff capitalism created.

A lot of paid cert providers were not so great before LE put the spotlight on the issue; it was more of a scheme to extract money from operators who couldn't afford to not offer TLS / SSL. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647959 was a famous post that made fun of / criticized the system before LE. This hurt security, and if not free, LE wouldn't have worked.
