Outside of buying a system76 laptop, is there a way to fund/donate to the Cosmic DE project?

I switched to Firefox as the default mobile browser on my android phone and the experience is excellent. I have not missed Chrome one bit.

Shout out to Firefox Mobile. I have it as the default browser on my android phone and the experience is great. I don't miss chrome at all. Once you get used to the minor UI differences you won't even notice you are not on chrome.

I have the same experience, except I buy 4mg gum tablets and I chew 1/4 - 1/3 of a tab at time. 2mg and 4mg tabs are priced similarly.

> And yet, the lure of the perfect system is ever present

What evidence do you have that anyone has discovered this?

My impression is that highly productive people have will and focus, not a perfect project management system.

If you are giving a talk on a theorem proving programing language you're gonna want to make it fun

Based on my experience opening a clone of the nixpkgs repo the other day... I don't think so :)

This is true. However I was calling out, wrt fish, the only two additional "plugin" type things I add in order to have a comfortable shell environment.

Fish conveniently provides history based autocomplete so I don't need to setup some plugin for that.

What I like about fish is that it provides a lot of nice-to-have ergonomic features from the get go without having to install plugins.

I add starship.rs to it and fzf integration but that's it.

I am not sure if this is accurate.

I think money "throughput" matters more than absolute money supply.

I like the detail from the top comment of replying w a 429 after a many second delay. That would mitigate any retry storm.

There are many food and taste related things that, if you stick with it for two or three days, end up tasting palatable.

Though I agree, aspartame, sucrose and stevia taste gross.

We have been doing finance for centuries and governance for millennial. The internet has been around for a few decades.

If Crypto is going to have meaningful impact on either of those two domains it may take a while.

I agree there are many grifter scammy things in crypto.

Fwiw it seems plausible to me that crypto/blockchain could provide value eventually as a realtime, open, highly available database about economic activity. Reliable economic information is valuable, scarce and seldom realtime.

However this depends on economic entities having an initial reason to make certain transactions on the blockchain and it's unclear what they'd get out of doing that.

Once upon a time if you wanted to study you went to the library. All the smart people were hanging out around libraries and Universities started to appear. Universities had classes and libraries.

Now we have the internet. How does this affect the value of a University education?

Right, you'd basically be writing an interpreter for English

I worked at an American company (smallish ad tech) that was fully remote and the CTO was a citizen of a LATAM country while CEO and most engineers (but not all) were USA based. Worked great.
