Norwegian here. I don’t think it’s “trust” in the literal sense, but more in line with “viewing them as a neutral yet benevolent institution with integrity”.

The latter is more or less the image they’ve tried to portray for ages, and with reasonable success, since they don’t really have much de facto power. However, the recent stupidity have caused many people to question what purpose they serve to begin with.

And just for the record: I don’t really care that much about them, neither for nor against. Bigger portions of my taxes go to stupider things.

A friend of mine wrote some software and ended up using one of those as a foot mouse.

“You and what army?”

They claimed that it was a more eco friendly coin, as it didn’t use GPU (and thereby not much electricity) but instead it caused harddrive prices to jump, due to excessive wear on drives. May for saving electricity, and instead causing a fuckton of e-waste, I guess.

I specifically referred to Chiacoin, as the topic was harddrives, not blockchain as a whole.

A fancy autocomplete is miles more useful than a shitcoin that you can’t even use for buying drugs. The only thing it did was double the price of harddrives and cause a mountain of ewaste.

At least they’re somewhat useful, as opposed to that harddrive-destroying block chain stuff a couple of years back. Chiacoin, or something?

As much as a scumbag MT is, he does make a good point.

Yes, if they delete it you can start a new one with no problem. Also, they only seem to delete unused ones, though.

Whenever you have it set up properly, make a system for you to easily spin up an identical one. Terraform, ansible, etc.

Hoboy, Maybe THIS is the version where Vim finally implements rich text, inline images, and AI/Clippy!

Update: Turns out they didn’t. It’s still just a no-nonsense and overall great text editor 😢

That cat falls into the same category as the guy who actually invents a pill that makes your dick larger. Or someone actually giving away a prize to the 1 millionth visitor to a website.

Careful, she’s very insecure and sensitive about her absolute dumptruck of a radar cross-section.

I’m sure I see some octarine in there too

Lazypasting something I wrote elsewhere:

Norwegian here, and I don’t think it’s gonna change a whole lot. Well, not for her, at least.

Personally I don’t care enough about them, and I don’t get the impression anyone else under 60 care that much either, neither positive or negative. Her husband is genuinely a nice person, so is her father in law (yes, I’ve met them both). Her son is a scumbag, though. (And he almost ran into me on a bicycle when he was 5 or so!)

So if anyone wants to litigate against her, I’m not gonna stand in the way, but for now this looks mostly like a case of “Should’ve known better”, something several government officials have publicly stated.

Just to clarify my stance on monarchy: Conflicted. In theory it does make sense to have someone who can veto everything on behalf of the state if the government goes weapons grade guano. However, the apolitical nature of a monarch pretty much stand in the way of this. And on the other hand, I’m not a big fan of inherited power.
But all in all, I don’t really care that much. Larger portions of my taxes go to stupider things.

Circular dependency issue

Looking at this pic makes me conclude I made the right fashion choices (or lack thereof) along the way. Jeans and T-Shirt all the way, even during my black metal phase.

Although during that time I did dye my (long) hair Black No. 1. Which is kinda funny, as someone claimed back then that I looked like a younger Pete Steele (Of Type O Negative fame, who’s most famous song is Black No. 1, in case you didn’t know).

So what am I wearing now? Yeah, you guessed wrong. My jeans are in the washer, so I’m currently sporting t-shirt and half a track suit. My hair is getting pretty long again, but dying it is just too much hazzle.

Well it’s not fucking blank anymore then, is it??

I’m beginning to suspect that the boots taste like bacon or something. It’s the only thing that could explain these levels of licking.
