Why again did you put this in the UI front and center without just asking me “(…)”

Man…Reading comprehension really took a nose dive on lemmy.

Swarm specifically: The general collective working together so you (the leech in this case) can complete the download and (best case) take over a part of the seeding pool.

Good to know the show is still going on

OP wants privacy from the swarm.

A bar is a bar.
We were comparing US presidents. Not world leaders.

Hmmm…what about the VPN plugin I didnt ask for?
Why again did you put this in the UI front and center without just asking me “Hey, we’ve got our own VPN. Want to pin it to your tool bar?”
No we need to figure out how to tell our clients what to do with it or findout how to automatically get rid of it.

Let’s pull out the breathing mask one uses for spray paint and invite someone over for dinner /s and /j

Too bad that most CPUs can run at up to 100°C and some even a bit higher. I think I read so.ewhere 125°C fpr some special OC cpu chips

Sorry but no.
In Germany we also use Frischkäse which is cream cheese.

And if doing less than 100% legal stuff or have loads of data: None of them

The reason why phones is: I don’t want to carry 50 cards with me when my phone can do it.
The infrastructure for cards was already there. So instead of replacing the infrastructure you replace the medium.

But isnt the Apple/Google way still using NFC?

It feels like mostly Asian countries are likely to use QR-code while most western (NA and (West-)Europe) countries are likely to use NFC based.
At least that’s what I observed with Youtube and my limited traveling.

Our gov ID card and medical insurance contains NFC chips which can be used for authenticaing with your legal identity (the old school way is post identidification where the company sends a letter to your adress)
Other types of that can be payment.

For ID: I like it.
For payment: IMO the advantages are phone-less payment. I don’t need to have my phone on me whenI can tap my bank card on the terminal.

Another example:
Our public transit has a state-wide valid ticket.
The usual way you get the ticket issued is as a qr code with the local transit copany where you live.
I specifically opted for a physical card.
Why? If my phone dies, I don’t have a valid ticket. And if that happens you get get fined for it.
I could send in an objection and get it cleared by providing my ticket later at a service point but why bother? :p

Unrelated but I like your username. Reminds me of a certain instance ;)

While yes, I agree that OnlyFans is sex work, I disagree with lumping the general “prostitute” from the street/brothel with the onlyfans/sex cam worker.

The remote nature keeps unsavory folk away by default (under the assumption that they arent doxxed) while sex work in person is, well, in person.
