Hi. I'm Alex. FOSS and Linux pro and developer. Exploring the Fediverse in search of interesting people and topics. Open minded and aside from tech I care about LGBT, economics, investing, art, travel, photography, privacy and things related to those.

I don't consider myself terribly interesting but hope to contribute something useful anyway.

Live and let live, peace :-]

@juan_snow1 Imagine what this will do to their economies once BTC becomes the worlds underlying currency.
@jabravo @mwietersheim Even if Signal had no interests of their own in mobile(💩 )coin #bitcoin integration on the native chain wouldn't work large scale. Maybe they have issues adopting Lightning or the network is simply not robust enough, yet. I have a feeling that messengers will soon have to adopt completely decentralized #crypto to avoid being shut down. Anyone remember Kin or Telegramcoin? One can only wonder where they'd be today if they just added a true crypto outside of anyones control.
@[email protected] Im Artikel "beschuldigt" Airbus die Triebwerkhersteller. Das lässt sich nur schwer nachvollziehen. Am Ende würde eine Neo Variante dennoch nicht die 4-Triebwerk Problematik lösen. Triebwerke sind schwer, verursachen Drag, teuer in der Anschaffung und Wartung, etc. Bahn auf Kurzstrecke ist eine sehr Europäische Sichtweise. Die Bahnnetze in anderen Teilen der Welt, sofern existent, sind oft bei weitem nicht so fähig wie in Europa. Dazu ist fliegen oft (noch) günstiger und zuverlässiger.
@[email protected] Die meisten Routen sind kurze bis mittlere Strecken. Hier dominieren die 737 und A320 jets. Doch diese drängen nun auch in den Langstreckenmarkt vor. Es macht viel mehr Sinn volle Flugzeuge mit zwei modernen ultra high bypass Trieberwerken möglichst direkt von A nach B zu schicken. Sparsamer, wirtschaftlicher und für den Passagier auch angenehmer. Den Rest übernehmen twin jet long hauler die von aktueller Technik stark profitieren während der A380 veraltet ist.
Honest question, where does this whole #gift thing for #Christmas come from? Who came up with it and when? #christmasgifts
@[email protected] Given that most #bitcoin and other #crypto is now accumulated by those who broke it in the first place it'll remain broken.
@[email protected] It seems only natural that this happened. Money and Power are very addictive. History is full of iterations of the same story. What feels different is how invisible this whole thing is. After all the all valuable user is served some convenience in exchange for a little privacy. Got nothing to hide, right? Both education of the user and strong, enforced privacy laws are missing. Yet I don't feel like that's coming any time soon or as always waaaay to late.
Anyone remember #secondlife? 🙄
#metaverse
@hankg What a relief! I guess I can stop worrying then 😂 /sarcasm
