in the case of anubis one could argue that the goal is to save energy. if too much energy is being spent by crawlers they might be configured to auto-skip anubis-protected sites to save money.

also, i’d say the tech behind crypto is interesting but that it should never have been used in a monetary context. proof of stake doesn’t help there, since it also facilitates consolidation of capital.

is it not pommes frites? fried apples?

okay, git using the same algorithm may have been a bad example. let’s go with video games then. the energy usage for the fraction of a second it takes for the anubis challenge-response dance to complete, even on phones, is literally nothing compared to playing minecraft for a minute.

if you’re mining, you do billions of cycles of sha256 calculations a second for hours every day. anubis does maybe 1000, once, if you’re unlucky. the method of “verification” is the wrong thing to be upset at, especially since it can be changed

the hashing part? it’s the same algo as here.

the functional difference is that this does it once. you could just as well accuse git of being a major contributor to global warming.

hash algorithms are useful. running billions of them to make monopoly money is not.

honestly, i’m not fucking with any more redboxes.

i don’t know actually, i’m not on tumblr.

tumblr. the reply is in a screenshot.

i blame Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice (2016)

you know i wasn’t sure why wreckfest needed a sequel, but that perkele really sold me

peanuts. don’t knock it unless you’ve tried a chicken-peanut-curry-pineapple pizza

looking at the code it doesn’t seem possible to suppress the message. gum prints its menu to stderr, just like it does with any errors.

honestly you should probably file an issue for this, it seems like an oversight.

of course, why did i not just consult the lying machine instead of having a conversation with a human

just as an exercise in media literacy, try changing your question to include a “not” and contrast the answers you get.

it’s got 45% of the market, how is it a monopoly?

5g is the capabilities, LTE is the protocol. the frequency band is a parenthetical.

they don’t make those anymore, they didn’t want to be associated with the image so they sold it off. they do make excavators and submarines though, in case your mom is looking for a replacement

pooh doesn’t wear underwear though

i hope the global hotkeys solution is portable, otherwise wayland will remain fractured.

is this… a chewbacca ruling?
