Yes it’s decentralized and very hard to stop to parties from making a crypto transaction. But what about cases where you need to convert your crypto to say euros because the person/business you need to pay doesn’t accept crypto? Don’t you need an exchange for that?

How easy/ widely accepted is it to pay for things using crypto (gas, rent, mortgage etc.)?

The point I was trying to make is that if paying for stuff in crypto isn’t ubiquitous, it’s far less practical as a form of currency.

Or what happens when governments ban crypo exchanges?

I think the real answer is for us (the electorate) to start electing officials who aren’t puritanical twats. Way way harder to do tough.

What an asshole.

They’re morons.

Yes.

to install nix succesfully on my laptop I had to do the following steps:

guix install nix

nix-channel --list

if nixpkgs is not in channel then add

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

sudo nix-channel --update --verbose

now change the group and ower of /nix

cd /nix/

sudo chown -R {your user name} ./var

sudo chown -R {your user name} ./store

sudo chgrp -R users ./var

sudo chgrp -R users ./store

now update the channels

nix-channel --update --verbose

then install say firefox

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.firefox

Let me check my notes ths weekend and get back to you.

I use nix for any packages I can’t get from guix repos. So that’s an option too.

and oligarchy too.

They gave him a badass name by accident 😂🤣!

If fElon wielding a chain saw is a OK then Zohran the Destroyer needs a weapon, for symbolism.

I nominate the axe from the movie Mandy

But he totally does! /s

I’ve been using linux as my only OS since 2019 and like you came to the conclusion that it’s come a long way and is totally a viable option instead of windows.

Linux is great at running on old HW. I have a desktop I built in 2009 that runs linux.

I know right? Aren’t there nude beaches in the south of France where people will fuck in broad daylight with others watching?

French citizens please confirm (for uh, science, and not vacation planning)!
