In short, I do things because I like them, need them, want them to or would love to see them happen.
- Do I like seeing 80+ stars for
lists.d? Yes! - Would I love to see people using #NeoFloppy #SSDs for real?. Of course!
- Do I want to see more #PersonalLightVehicles instead of #SuperUserlessVehicles? Yeah, Duh!
- Do I hope for someone to build a
tiny486and use it with_OS/1337for some #DataRecovery of #LegacyMedia? Shure...
But I didn't start any of these in expectation of anything. Neither Recognition nor Fame nor Money nor anything.
Would I love these to go big like #Linux did?
- Yes, because in the end that project was successful because @torvalds has been open to contributions and that's how #Linux came to "run on [almost] everything [it could be forced on]", and that could not have been done by a solo developer!
So yeah, folks should be glad that people actually do #FLOSS / #OpenSource in general and thank them, because without it, we'd have a way worse world!

Kioxia's memory is "sold out" for 2026, prolonging a "high-end and expensive phase" https://arstechni.ca/bnnM #memoryshortage #kioxia #Tech #SSDs
@F3715H @JuxGD I second this one.
1. Obviously #Monero peaked recently because everyone who can is dropping #USD for #XMR and is #GTFO'ing the #USA due to #Trump...
2.I've seen "#ProofOfStake" #Shitcoins like #Ethereum and #Solana with setups that are way more wasteful, expensive and #hoarding of hardware like #RAM and #SSDs [the latter one being basically destroyed due to extreme #IOPS].
- I've yet to see any credible evidence of commercial #MoneroFarming / #MoneroMining to exist to a scale even remotely as close to those #Shitcoins with entire #Datacenters dedicaded to them (I sadly can't divulge more due to NDAs)...
3.If you have no problem with #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard ¹ (and espechally #PayPal!)² ³, then you shouldn't have a problem with Monero either!
Yes it is a #cryptocurrency, but it's the "least worst" when it comes to #privacy, #centralization and some study seem to hint that Monero and the DNMs that use it actually reduce #StreetCrime and #Violence as they allow #NonviolentDrugOffenders [aka. #VictimlessCrimes] to be facilitated safer and in a trustless envoirment.
The Problems associated with #Monero are not due to the fault of Monero. It's what people do towards other people. Whether they do it for XMR, #Dollar, #Euro, or whatever doesn't make it better or worse than whether someone threatens a person with a knife or a rifle: Both are equally bad in the eyes of the law and society for all the righr reasons!
Also Monero per it's very design CANNOT be abused for "#SmartContracts", #NFTs and associated #malware - in fact the #developers of Monero removed any such ability by deprecating and disabling the tx_extra feature.
- So in that regard, Monero by it's privacy is IMHO more ethical than even a #BankAccount because unlike a #Bank and like cash, #SelfCustody of it gives YOU 100% control over the funds, which is important amidst #Debanking attacks by the #Trump-Regime against opponents around the globe! Something @RoteHilfe found out recently...

RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives https://arstechni.ca/bbbZ #WesternDigital #ramshortage #GeForce #Samsung #SanDisk #Seagate #NVIDIA #Radeon #Tech #SSDs #AMD
Si registra un forte aumento dei prezzi di RAM e SSD. La causa è la carenza di chip di memoria, sempre più richiesti per l'IA, impattando i costi futuri delle build PC.#GiochiPC #notizievideogiochi #gamingnews #Videogiochi #Hardware #RAM #SSDs
