Monero is what Bitcoin wanted to be

Monero has fixed inflation baked in, so no.

> fixed inflation

It looks like you're referring to the tail emission which solves the problem that Bitcoin has.

Also, it is a small fixed amount of "coins", so the actual inflation rate approaches zero.

I think your comment is what they call "F.U.D."

> which solves the problem that Bitcoin has

Which problem are you talking about? It being deflationary? You might not think it's a good idea, but it's not a problem if it's by design.

Once there are no more block rewards, Bitcoin will only rely on fees to incentivize miners.

So either fees will be expensive, or there won't be miners securing the blockchain.

Gotcha. Well it's by design, as Satoshi believed it not to be a problem. Only time will tell.

> so the actual inflation rate approaches zero.

Now THAT is FUD. Current annual inflation rate is 0.84191433% [0]. That is massive and not "approaches zero". The value of Monero over n-years thus approaches zero over time, for big enough n.

While that is a little under 1%, it is still inflation. The ECB targets on average 2% inflation (while before COVID the ECB targeted maximum of 2% - so actually close to the Monero inflation).

Thank you?

It looks like we have different definitions of "massive".

You also say it does not approach zero, but in the following sentence you do say it approaches zero.

I guess people need to decide if inflationary money is better or worse than deflationary money, and what amount of inflation is appropriate.

Personally, without too much thought: I think a monetary inflation rate should correlate with the population inflation rate, so that it's value remains somewhat constant (I'm open to changing this opinion with more information).

Too many issues with Wifi and suspend, a part that the usage an performance are quite similar to Linux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZk6LTfqW30

Yeah. The reason is that a lot (almost all?) consumer hardware is broken, but in ways that either minimally impact Windows or which are worked around in drivers.

Thanks for sharing

i like StepFun 3.5 Flash, a good tradeoff

ubuntu mono, fira code

artix linux is a joy to use

systemd-kyc will be mandatory to boot the computer

Most software do not start services by itself

runit do not manages both, system and user services. XFCE is out dates and many softwares will be Wayland only. xfce4-wayland will be based on labwc. Modern Linux can be without X11 or systemd but not without Wayland

if you convinced yourself you are stuck with Wayland then you are also stuck with systemd, you won’t escape that trap

I like Wayland but I don't like much systemd endless scope

This page conflates age verification, which Brazil's law requires, with single source of truth age restriction APIs, which California's law requires. One requires validating a government ID. The other just says that each app shouldn't separately ask about age, with no change in how that age is required to be verified (it isn't).

This confusion makes the summary tables completely misleading. For example, GrapheneOS's cited statement (https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116261301913660830) is incompatible with the Brazilian law but not the Californian one.
