The ability to have ownership over an asset independent of an institution is a pretty neat technological feat.
Using it to prove ownership over monkey pictures is straight up idiotic though. But it's somehow the only thing that comes to mind whenever NFT's are brought up.
To a lesser degree the same is true for crypto in general.
Edit: to all the comments saying there still is an institution needed to enforce/accept the ownership, you are right. However the unmodifiable characteristics of a blockchain ledger are still interesting even when we take that into account. Hard to change records there :)
Physical property is a rather extreme (though still potential) use case. It is more easily applicable to e.g. intellectual property.
To be fair something can be said about allowing formatting. For this the added value is little though, and it would've been better if an alt text was provided
On my third job in the two years of my career now, and this one and the previous one both had mountains of technical debt. I am actively looking for job 4 now, but this time I'm a bit more cautious. (Job 2 counter-offered a 1000+€ raise and I turned it down for having basically the same wage at job 3 because it supposedly would be a better technical environment. It is not.)
The only common denominator between the last two is that both are small-ish and ERP software so idk. [Edit: also 'me', but for sure it can't be this bad everywhere right]
And for both it was caused by a very short-term way of looking at things. (Sure we could speed up development by X2, but that would take two months and the client wants this feature now)
Exactly this, the commenter above even mentioned they have a VPS already, what's stopping them from (this is just an option) slapping tailscale on there, enabling it as an exit node and being done with it? Would literally take 5 minutes and suddenly your traffic is coming from a datacenter and not your home IP
Who made you the authority on deciding whose information people are allowed to doxx. I agree that ICE are pieces of shit and in this case (same with the DOGE doxxing some time ago) I wholeheartedly agree that exposing them is morally the right thing to do.
Laws hardly care about what is 'moral' or 'good' though, and it's better that way because those terms are subjective. A corrupt judge/administration would be able to abuse the hell out of a system where guilt gets decided based on vibes.
So yeah the fact that they're in trouble for exposing someones personal information is only natural, no matter how much you and I agree that what they did is 'good'.
Clarification vs adaptation makes a huge difference in book translations. I don't envy the translators having to translate witty jokes/references that really only work in the original language
Installing the third party stores would be way harder than it is right now if they do that though. No way the devs of e.g. f-droid are getting a verification on an app that bypasses Google's new 'safety measures'
I tried watching some YouTube video on a discord embed today. It served me 8 short ads in 4 blocks for a sub-10 min video
