They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don't think this fixes it, it merely delays it.

The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You've meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you're out of subaddresses.

Now you're vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.

Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn't use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn't a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.

Just speculation here, but is this a sign that CDPR is tilting more towards mainstreaming GOG over prioritizing game development? Valve did exactly that with Steam and they very, very rarely release games they make any more.

Steam is a cash cow that literally just prints money for them. I'd imagine CDPR corpos to be salivating over that kind of low maintenance income that comes with owning a large digital distribution gaming platform.

Have you tried Butterchurn Visualizer? You need to allow it access to your microphone and play sound through your speakers, but it is one of the better desktop visualizers along with ProjectM on Android.

I see an outline of a QR code in there. How well would that work if someone could just vandalize a single pixel within the code and break it?

So... when will there be PowerPoints and training that will now be required as a result of this incident? Now DoD employees will have to sit through yet another hour-long presentation about how to not make spelling mistakes lol.

The only appropriate response to that is

git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

From Article 19, Section 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, November 20, 1989:

States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.

Sadly, the United States (of which Missouri is a state) has only signed, but not yet ratified, this Convention. Still, I think this warrants getting some international attention lest this becomes normalized again.

So... how long until the Property Value Karens of the world get all wound-up about how "crime will increase" in their neighborhood?

At this point we might as well go full Roman as you suggested. MXMCIIV to MXMCCVII as indices.

Five times slower for us distant observers, regular time (1 second = 1 second) if you're actually there, if I'm understanding this correctly.

Still, difficult to wrap my brain around.

 

This is something that keeps me worried at night. Unlike other historical artefacts like pottery, vellum writing, or stone tablets, information on the Internet can just blink into nonexistence when the server hosting it goes offline. This makes it difficult for future anthropologists who want to study our history and document the different Internet epochs. For my part, I always try to send any news article I see to an archival site (like archive.ph) to help collectively preserve our present so it can still be seen by others in the future.

 

Why use pi when you can use 🥧

fn main() {
    let pi_emoji = "🥧";
    let pi_value = 3.1415926535897932384626433832;

    println!("Let {} {:.28}", pi_emoji, pi_value);
}
 

It wants to say "Good evening, may I hold your towel please?"
