Countries that aren't federations will also take this seriously.

It's impossible to determine the charge level of phone batteries. It's now up to you to keep track or your activities and estimate when you'll need to charge, otherwise it will just turn off on its own when the battery runs out.

Not necessarily, good content and users who share and comment help servers indirectly. An empty or toxic instance will most likely not attract too many users who will donate.

I don't see that comment

No you don't

I see. If your concern is unfinished features, I don't think you have to worry about that anymore.

What you could do is spin up a virtual machine and test it out there. Here's the official guide on how to do it.

Depends on what you mean by decent.

For privacy it's shit, it collects a bunch of data that's sent to MS. It also serves text ads on the lock screen, which might annoy you.

They also push their own products too much, like Bing AI and Edge, and sometimes an update can mess with the default apps, wich is annoying.

If you don't care about those things it's fine, doesn't get too much in the way of you doing what you want to do most of the time. I use it mainly because of gaming, but I can't tell you much about its performance because I have a powerful PC so everything runs just fine.

The start menu was dumbed down recently to a poor KDE clone, but I personally don't mind since I wasn't using it anyway.

TCM? Tankie Cinematic Multiverse?

He has the right genes for it but I'm sure he also puts in a lot of effort to look the way he does. It makes sense, being a femboy is his full time job, and he makes a good living out of it.

Use both the latin x and the cyrillic х as variable names in the same scope. Your coworkers will thank you.

I assumed you meant file/data storage because you were talking about "cloud space".

My issue with these solutions is that you have to trust that your data will be available on the other person's machine whenever you want to access it.

Imagine something like a torrent. They only work as long as there are people seeding it. As soon as nobody's interested, the torrent file is useless.

If I agree that I'll host someone's data on my computer for money I'll have to guarantee that it will be available, otherwise why would they gamble that they might lose their data?

My impression with all these web3/crypto projects is that aside from crypto currencies everything that I've seen so far can be solve in a better way with conventional methods.

If your point is doing web3 for web3's sake then go ahead, it's an interesting concept and thought experiment, just not that useful yet in my opinion.

What do you mean by "cloud space"? Is it on a cloud drive somewhere or my own computer?

Because if they want extra cloud space it's cheaper and safer to just buy it from an established provider.

If they want to store their data on my computer, what guarantees do I have to offer in therms of availability and speed of access?

Do I have to keep my PC turned on at all times? What happens if I lose internet connection? Can I restart my pc after an update? Do I have to ensure redundancy? How do I compensate them on data loss?

If they don't want to use a provider like Google, Microsoft or Dropbox, then why? Do they want to store something questionable or illegal?

In many countries, mine included, there's no credit score system. We recently took out a bigger loan to buy a house and what we had to provide was:

• proof of a steady income (in our case from our employer)
• 3 months of bank account history (to prove that we don't overspend)
• written permission that they can request our data from the central (government operated) loan database

That's it. From these they could tell that we are safe to loan money to because we'll most likely be able to pay it back.

I don't see how a credit score system is essential when you can provide them with the necessary data only when it's needed.

It's just like every other political or economic system that we tried so far. Sounds great in theory, in practice not so much.

Credit scores are a scam to sell credit cards.

You take small loans each month via a credit card that you have to pay back. This increases an imaginary number that lets you take out bigger loans in the furure.

This is all tracked by private companies that you trust with your personal data. That, or you'll not be able to take out a loan if you want to buy a house or start a business.

If you have a good credit score it means that you don't overspend or forget to pay, which you can also achieve with a regular debit card by default. This doesn't serve people, only the banks who expect that a number of people will overspend or not be able to pay their loans back.

Credit cards alone aren't the problem. Forcing them on people with the credit score system is.

A few weeks ago I got the flu and went to see my doctor. She wasn't in so I got sent to a substitute who examined my ear with a weird beeping device. I asked her what it was and she just said that she practices "Chinese medicine".

She told me her device indicated that I have huge problems with my thyroid and she said I should get some sort of crystal necklace that's good for that and that I should apply some essential oils daily. Of course, she happened to sell those at a good price.

I went to have a blood test and my thyroid was fine, my values were right in the middle of the acceptable range.

Identity theft. Not as serious as the real life version but imagine that I make an account with your username on another instance, maybe under a domain that's very similar to yours, and start stirring up trouble. If you're someone people recognize I could hurt your reputation or scam people.

That's why I unsubbed from r/startrek on Reddit. I wasn't banned but I've seen many threads deleted that had genuine criticism of Discovery.

I didn't stick around long enough to see if they behaved the same way with Picard, but my guess is yes.

Unpopular opinion but I think the emoji system of Facebook, Github and Slack are much better. We could have something similar with a limited amount of emojis and rank posts and comments accordingly.
