  • "Crypto" has become a widely used abbreviation for "cryptocurrency," even though "crypto" itself refers to the general field of cryptography and its encryption techniques. This informal usage reflects how cryptocurrencies have become the most recognizable application of cryptography for most people.

  • Really, the only crypto that comes anywhere near :

    If crypto had pivoted to freedom and prioritized mass-adoption

    Is Monero. Unfortunately, it falls short when it comes to mass-adoption. Still, it's just as volatile as any other crapto-currency, so using it as an investment vehicle is a bad idea. It seems almost like crapto-currency is fundamentally incompatible with stock market style investments.

  • No, no major government has completely adopted cryptocurrency as legal tender. El Salvador became the first country in the world to do so in September 2021, but there have been significant challenges :

    • Volatility: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are known for their price swings, making them less than ideal for everyday purchases.
    • Consumer protection: Concerns exist about the risks faced by Salvadoran consumers, especially those unfamiliar with the complexities of cryptocurrency.
    • Business adoption: Businesses have been slow to embrace Bitcoin due to technical hurdles and a lack of customer demand.

    Cryptocurrencies are still considered too volatile and risky by most governments for everyday transactions.

  • It's called going to McDonald's walk-in and seeing a Karen...

  • The meme said "strange man" not "male partner".

  • I'd rather a strange bear than a strange women.

  • Depends on species and how hungry the Bear is.

  • Maybe if it were a black bear, they scare off easily. However a brown bear is not so easily intimidated, grizzly bears would tank a bullet, and polar bears are aggressive hunter's, panda's would easily win that fight... I could continue but I think you get my point by now.

  • Because the bear would be having a little snack...

  • The moment Twitter dies, X.com will be an adult website. Not a single doubt.

  • " Sleepwalkers is a group of young idols who are forced to undergo a ritual where their bones are removed and replaced with a special material that allows them to dance for extended periods of time. Fans of the group are encouraged to give their bones to Sleepwalkers as a sign of their devotion. "

  • The reason why is because of dependency hell and general packaging conflicts that could occur. You can go with the tar, snap, appimage or flatpak. If you do decide to use the system level package from a 3rd party, just be aware of the risks and be careful. The issue lay within the difference in standards, the usual target for these companies is Debian using the Debian packaging guidelines, while Ubuntu has their own, Ubuntu and Debian also have different release cycles which can lead to conflict with certain packages.
    \ Perhaps, if you're needs aren't met maybe moving to a semi-rolling or rolling distro is best.

    Edit : typos

  • Yes, it is functionally different. Because of man, -h/--help,tldr, documentation, consistency, etc.
    \ The terminal is a consistent and predictable tool that you are given every needed resource to able to learn and use. To find out what a command does is easy and you don't need internet to do it. Plus, the terminal is way more versatile and extensible.
    \ The entire point of the terminal is to empower the user and give a consistent interference to manipulate low-level and high-level settings, features and applications. While the entire point of the registry is to limit & obscure the accessibly of options Microsoft doesn't want you to be able to touch or know about. Nor is it even consistent for that matter, with stuff shuffling around, resetting and being removed during updates. My post is a prime example, they don't want you to be able to disable Bing search because they make money from it, exactly the same reason they actively try preventing you from removing edge.

  • The registry is worse. They maliciously hide basic settings and leave you to figure it out without any documentation.
    \ The terminal is actually consistent, Grub entries are consistent and have documentation, editing plain text is way better than manipulating binary data with a jank tool.
    \ I guarantee that most Windows users, including the techy type, had no clue that the feature described in my post was even possible or existed. Point is, this is not a system level setting, it's a basic setting that can easily be done with a simple GUI checkbox/button/switch just as KDE plasma has done. Window's hiding it, not only inside the registry, but even hiding it from the registry as an unmarked option with 0 documention, is utterly ridiculous.

  • That's literally the easiest thing.

  • A terrible one that's basically a weird file browser for binary data and crap.

  • You forgot the entire point of Arch Linux, it was never meant for newbies, bud.

  • Why do that when you can just use a GUI?
    \ KDE plasma 6 has a GUI setting for the equivalent feature.
