Is it possible to for cryptocurrency projects to rename proof-of-stake to something like proof-of-work 2.0 and validators to miners to get around this? Are these terms clearly defined anywhere?

Why do we allow some clueless, incompetent old dicks to make laws like this? Governments are too powerful. This system has to change. The role of a government has to be reduced to a minimum.

Hopefully we'll get there in the next 200-300 years.

You have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

Never use any closed-source software if privacy is important. With closed-source software, always assume that there is zero privacy, all your data will be shared with third parties, and your system is compromised.

Yes.

closed-source == not secure

Opera is closed source which means it is not secure.

There is also XAUT (Tether Gold) by the way.

DAI is not backed by USDT.

I don't even look at dynamically typed languages anymore. And once you learn about dependent types...

DeFi is the future so I would say ETH is a better/safer investment than BTC in the long term. The only thing Bitcoin is useful for is doing transactions which any other cryptocurrency is also capable of. Also, consider Cardano. It's proof-of-stake already (so no environmental impact), and it's about to get smart contracts implemented in a few months.

This is how a fiat currency is supposed to work. Earn it, then buy some gold, silver, real estate, crypto, or whatever. And inflation is not necessary a bad thing.

Thanks, I'll try that.

>A Debian bug that was filed at the end of May serves as a reminder that even open-source software is not immune to some of the problems of proprietary software. In this case, Chromium 43 was silently downloading a browser extension to enable the "OK Google" voice activation "feature" of the browser

Oh shit, that's scary...

Debian stable is a great choice for a system where you need stability and security. For regular desktop usage though, Debian Sid (unstable) may be better because you get newer software.

There is only one issue I had with Debian: I don't like/understand how it's package manager handles unneeded software.

For example:

1. I installed Debian with the Gnome interface.

2. Decided to try KDE, installed it alongside Gnome.

3. Deleted KDE. But then there still were lots of KDE-related packages left. I tried `apt autoremove` and some other stuff, but no matter what I couldn't figure out how to easily remove all unneeded packages and return to the previous state.
