Never heard of Langis before :)

bruh

Thank you. And do you have any clue what happend on their side ?

What was the previously used decentralised storage solution used by your instance ?

Lucida is great especially from Qobuz !

It’s not that great privacy wise. Probably not as bad as YouTube but unfortunately it doesn’t seems to be their priority.

Bitrefill, CakePay and CoinsBee are plateform where you can sell crypto for gift cards and thus use them to pay online stuff in many places that don’t accept crypto. You can also use them physically if needed.

Lightning Network privacy isn’t ideal (but has improve over time), off-chain doesn’t mean private nor without anyone recording your transactions.

You know GNU Taler isn’t a crypto right ? I mean it’s not a “blockchain technology” it doesn’t have a GNU token or a Taler token. It uses strong cryptography to protect the customer info while being compliant for the business. If you’re not okay, this might not fit your needs with that do business cash, XMR and maybe the Lightning Network. But GNU Taler is far better than most payment processor used by business owners privacy wise

Every time I have to use Windows I am amazed how Microsoft is ruinning it. Ads, unconsisitent UI, bad UX forcing you to be part of their Microsoft365 services shit.

A friend of mine had his Desktop sync on a OneDrive account without really knowing why. And sometime the whole shit got desynchronized and it’s files and folders disapeard. The fix was to restart his machine while being connected to the internet :D

It is great but it does not look at the scaling solution at all. Honestly even though I love LN and use it weekly it is quiet trash for mass adoption. Managing channels and liquidity is still complicated. Using custodial solutions is a bad idea in my opinion and Phoenix, while being an awesome middleground is not ideal either. I’m still amazed when I use LN and that it works (not 100% tho) but I am afraid it will only centralized into a few custodial service overtime.

On the long run I see it really great for B2B and also in-game rewards in an ecosystem. However it will not be in my opinion a user to user solution (or completely custodial). I am excited to see how it will develop and improve (especially on the privacy and self-custody side.

So we went on the cryptowar to be able to have secure connection for everyone in the digital age bringing safety to citizens and now they want us to still have that security but not for them ? What about misuse ? Cuz there will be have misuse. What about hacker ? Cuz backdoors will be exploited (already are) by bad guys.

I was afraid of the article saying : “Introducing FairAssistant a new (closed source) AI with 60% less energy consumption than OpenAI” kinda marketing greenwashing BS.

Another usecase for Bitcoin and Monero ! Pirate needs to be sovereign from state money !

It is I don’t follow or use every app listed here and I sometimes keep apps that are discountined not for user but for devs that could fork it. I will remove Lemmur as they are many other client available now.

Thank you !
