Its only real use is as dark money. Which isn’t always a bad thing - there are a lot of activists in oppressive countries who rely on bitcoin donations, Anarchist Black Cross comes to mind.

But, as you said, it’s not really as “dark” as people think.

I seem to recall someone developing a “game” that was based on the blockchain but used to crowdsource protein folding models or something like that? I could be mixing two memories though. I could see how the concept could possibly be implemented for something like that, but I wonder if it couldn’t be handled more energy-efficiently by like a single quantum computer doing calculus.

Now I’m wondering if anyone makes a snake bit for an SDS…

Hey, it’s supported!

…kinda

Fr tho this is some incredible jimbo work

This show was such a fever dream.

Took my first steps last night, I flashed a USB stick with Mint Cinnamon and gave it a spin. Looks like it’ll handle everything I need to just fine, so imma start partitioning and backing up the next couple evenings and just go for it. I’ve installed Linux before, but only really as temporary solutions. I’m looking forward to making it my daily driver and learning the system.

What’s the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean?

I wouldn’t pay $200 to have a garbanzo bean on my face.
