Isn't that compromises the whole purpose of the project immediatly?

Moreover, any reasonably adequate dev would work on expansion of syncthing ecosystem, not inventing a rasclet instead of a wheel

P.S. but these chinese robots are really scary

Oh! That's exactly what we all needed - 16 banks suggest their own "system", even more crude and clumsy imitation of the surveillance standards of payment systems and marketplaces, which shielded banks from snitching clients' consumption patterns.

They don't need anything advanced like Apple Pay layered tokenizations that at least respects a little of privacy. Everything is linked to a single phone (the article states that the focus is on Bizum and those pathetic peer-to-peer payment systems). The banks are in good shape to capture data, the tax authorities have a clear picture of how to squeeze the plebs even more - nice.

How about stablecoins with native yield from ECB treasuries? It solves everything and costs nothing. But we see what happens in US - "treasuries spread is not for plebs", - banks say.

That led me to quite radical thoughts, that childless people shouldn't have the same voting power as active parents, just because they simply do not and _can not_ understand the generational mechanics of society and nations survival. They just lack this critical extremum of life experience and can not contribute consciously.

I've got a reference macbook air from 2015, which is almost clean, only zoom, teams and chrome for meets are installed and used for calls. And boy, how do I regret making macOS updates.. I can believe teams and zoom are shitbags of modern software slop, and thus started to fail running simple video calls. But even native macOS apps that are barely updated for years like notes and calendar are freezing now. So I can conclude that these anti-backward compatibility updates are highly intentional, because hardware is absolutely fine for decade, i even used this ultra-tiny air for travel work once back in 2022, it was still capable to do all office things and thin client. But last year it just turned into pumpkin.

My question is - maybe installing linux can help bring it back to life.

I personally pray for that "MacOS classic" switch... It's sad to enter that decay era for Apple where every next software upgrade for the device feels effectively as a hardware downgrade.

Me: f*ck off, enough, time to buy pixel and grapheneos

Govt: meta pays _me_ $32bln for breaking _your_ privacy. What? You want to defend yourself? You are a criminal, then! That way, Meta wouldn't pay me again!

Monopolies are the only source of crime throughout history.

Monopolies are the brightest sign of collective irresponsibility.

Monopolies are useless for society in their attempts "to compete", since they are only trying to leverage their size and thus eventually bring harm.

With these days $ numbers, they can be so big, that they create a cantillion effect on market just because of their existance on market even without manipulation. Should be resected, dissasembled and limited in their further growth, including govt bodies, incentivized to decentralize.

Architecting technical systems is MUCH WAY easier than architecting social-economical systems. I hope one day all those tech-savvy web3 wannabe revolutionaries will start to do the real job a designing socially working systems, not only technically barely working cryptographically strong hamster-tapping scams

The reputable press for some reason spread fake news about the fact that the Sagrada Familia is supposed to be finally completed by 2026.

This is complete nonsense, I can't understand how it happened. Apparently, one person stepped in and everyone else happily picked up on it.

In fact, by 2026 it is planned to complete only the central bell tower, the Jesus Tower, which will make the temple the tallest in the world, and the corner Chapel of the Ascension. After that, there will remain such a "small, insignificant detail" as the construction of the central facade of the basilica. It is planned to work on it until 2034 (if everything goes according to plan, the builders cunningly add in this place).

And, only then will the discussion be started about the construction of the stair bridge leading to the entrance, which requires demolishing a block of living buildings on Mallorca Street, imagine the friction at this point..

So, no, it's not going to be finished in 2026. But that doesn't make it a penny less marvelous, one wouldn't even notice it's not finished.

not a todo list then..
