  • The state of Linux phones in 2025

    Jump

  • Switzerland has GNU Taler. They launched it there a few months ago, lucky for you. Check its website: https://taler-ops.ch/de/

    You just kind of need to wait for merchants to use it. Could become mainstream somewhere around 2028.

    From wikipedia:

    GNU Taler is a free software-based microtransaction and electronic payment system. Unlike most other decentralized payment systems, GNU Taler does not use a blockchain. A blind signature is used to protect the privacy of users as it prevents the exchange from knowing which coin it signed for which customer.

    The wallet is like cryptocurrency wallets in that when you lose it (lose your cryptographic keys or phone), you lose all the money inside of it. So you must keep it safe like your own physical wallet. It works with NFC, so it can replace Google Pay or Apple Pay or whatever.

    It also works offline, which is awesome. Though you do need to be online sometimes to refresh your digital money or they expire and become unspendable. The expiry is set by the GNU Taler operator.

    Do keep in mind that receivers are NOT anonymous. Only senders are anonymous. This is by design and is there to apply tax to merchants and also combat fraud, etc.

    You can learn how it works by reading their docs: https://docs.taler.net/

    The FAQ is also a good thing to read: https://www.taler.net/en/faq.html

  • I think problem number 1 might be solvable if GNU Taler succeeds in europe as the digital euro backend. https://taler.net/

    Of course this would only apply to people in the EU, but who knows, others might follow.

  • Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs

    Jump

  • Well, looks like the lemmy devs (like any reasonable devs) will not accept LLM generated shit. So good luck with that.

  • Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs

    Jump

  • DIDs are cool and all but I would trash your proposal because that is clearly llm bullshit. Put effort into it, seriously.

    Oh and also, for big changes like these, you need to make a new RFC: https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs

  • [fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users?

  • Pies?

  • Fediverse Report – #131

    Jump

  • The dev told me this in Mastodon:

    @asudox @crowdbucks

    I am learning the Taler Protocol right now — so that I can understand how Taler can be added to CrowdBucks.

    So, yes, we are looking at making CrowdBucks work with Taler.

  • How are you "supposed" to download your treasures? Download managers? Or just let the 100GB file sit in firefox download list and potentially get cut off mid-download?

    Jump

  • Firefox should have a .part file with the downloaded content written to it. So even if it was cutoff, if you attempt to download the thing again, it should continue where it was at last time.

  • Digg's new app is basic, but a great start

    Jump

  • Yep. We have Fediseer for such instances though.

  • Another Reddit with AI builtin.

  • Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

    Jump

  • It's easy to make one. But why would you want that?

    As time goes by and more and more people join the Fediverse, I'm sure some niche comms will start taking off. I don't like bots mirroring content from somewhere else, even as a help. In fact, I will immediately unsubscribe from any comm that starts doing that. And I'm sure many people also would.

  • Have you changed you youtube pfp to clippy ?

    Jump

  • It's mostly idiots who want to be part of something and some that "don't like" what is happening and "want" change but put in the least possible amount of effort pathetically to attempt to cause a change, and this only when someone popular suggests.

    They never really want to stop using the product. It's like drug addicts trying to make drugs less addicting by "protesting" against the very thing they use (and will keep using) literally everyday.

  • Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what?

    Jump

  • Not flawless, but also not catastrophic.

    It seems like the problems I encounter lessen (or lessen in difficulty to troubleshoot) as I use arch linux more and more.

    If you use amd hardware, then I guess you'll have a good time with the distros. Most "user friendly" distros should work out of the box. Try switching to something other than debian based.

    With the nvidia open kernel modules, it has been rather hassle free for me.

    Also remember to check the arch wiki. It's a great resource.

  • Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.

    Jump

  • Spez will fuck with Reddit's userbase and make the platform absolute bullshit to use, yet 90% of redditors will still keep sucking his dick over and over again.

  • I'm Officially a Linux User!

    Jump

  • The link does work, but it isn't the preferred way to link to communities in lemmy/piefed (and I think Mbin too).

    Instance agnostic links look like this:

    !<comm name>@<instance.tld>

    For users:

    @<user name>@<instance.tld>

    The problem with linking to comms like the way you did is that it won't be opened in the user's instance (unless they use some client that does support resolving it).
