Recently read an ELI5 of the digital euro and was pleasantly surprised. If it works as designed, you can perform offline payments from one device to another, which sounds like your use case. No central servers, no blockchain.
I’m also on Mastodon

Can’t recommended DE enough, and for that price it’s a must buy.
My backlog has reached that point where I need to be a responsible adult and finally beat some games, so this time I’ll pass.
But the PS games like Horizon: Zero Dawn are tempting.
All of that and Custom DNS? Sounds like a pet project with scope issues.
David Cage understandably gets a lot of flak, but the Quantic Dreams games aren’t actually bad at all. I’ve played Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit. And while they aren’t top-tier excellent, they were all memorable.
Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.
The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.
Just installed Bluefin and I also like the way that the base OS, GUI apps and CLI programs are partitioned. I enable auto updates - does anyone know how I get informed that an update happened, and that I should reboot?
Reading about Bluefin got me so interested that I just installed it on my laptop. After updating, it’s still at 39. How do I update it to 40?
EDIT: just figured it out:
sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest
I’ve been using Fedora for many years (Nobara is just a fling) and updates were always remarkably stable. That being said, if you’ve played around with the configuration you might have issues, but if you stay with the standard install you shouldn’t expect problems.
Thanks, kind person!
I’ve settled on Fast Draw. You get to use exactly one widget, but it’s lightweight and lets me launch apps.
While I can fully understand his pain, I can’t quite follow how adding a paid subscription model will make his life easier (except financially).
Before, he had to deal with entitled asshats, and now he’ll have to deal with asshats feeling even more entitled, because they paid for it.
Yep, OP uses his Switch way more than expected. The Deck is an extremely flexible device in a similar form factor. I’ve been able to beat so many games in my backlog with it, just excellent.
Enter the Void is the most breathless barrage on the senses I have ever wittnessed. The intro could give you epilepsy. The whole film is shot from the ego perspective of the protagonist that gets shot dead 15 minutes into the film. I have never seen anything remotely similar.
I’ve been telling people for years what a wonderful film Tampopo is. But when I explain the plot I just get shrugs and whatevers.
I think it’s crazy that they want to write invoices based on estimations. Why didn’t I ever do that? “Oh yeah, I estimate that I worked about um… 2 weeks on that feature.”
Humans can smell rain better than a shark can smell blood.
I always thought it interesting that every time we talk about when our kids were born, I remember all these details and my wife’s like huh, weird, can’t remember a thing.
It’s a BMW K75 that’s been standing around for about 10 years, an inline 3 with injection and shaft drive. I’m hoping it won’t need much more than new tires, fluids and filters. But even if it turns out cheaper than a newer bike, I’m not sure if a resucitated old bike like that is the best choice starting out.
I don’t know how the technical implementation will work, but here is a post I found.
The idea is that you transfer money from the bank to your device, just like withdrawing cash from an ATM. Transferring money from one wallet to another should be able to be offline.
It seems like privacy is a priority, if only to satisfy privacy groups and improve acceptance.
