Here’s what I found.

Why does Totem need to be replaced?

Totem is still a GTK3 app and is unmaintained (in part due to a crusty codebase), seeing no major development in years. Replacing it with a modern GTK4/libadwaita app designed to use modern technologies and meet modern needs has been a “high priority” for GNOME.

I do wish it had a self hosted docker though. I could see Proton mail and thunder mail adopting it that way, which would be neat.

I still think DOGE is just feeding all that information to Palantir, and everything else is a pretext to that goal. They want an AI embedded directly into the government, making a large dependency on it, and bypassing checks and balances quickly has allowed that to happen.

All DOS go to heaven. So you’ll have Sim City 1 at least.

Well that can’t be true, why would anyone have ever made a dynamic typing system?

Well its still early days, Biden was very against Crypto, so point of sales systems couldnt provide it. Companies like Square are now working on it, so you will be able to use it; or any form of cash you want, or fractional shares and gold etf.

Maybe all currencies will just be forced to compete on inflation one day, and everyone will use the one with the lowest annual growth in new supply.

You want just a fatty wad of cash, and for tellers to sit there counting change or what?

Or maybe a CBDC, so they can inflate it even more, giving out your purchasing power like like its a political football?

Do you think credit cards are ideal? People happily pay a 4% fee to Visa to buy something at the store, yet you think a spot convert is going to be the death knell?

As well as the deflation of their currency, as the currency increases at around 10% a year, as you’re praying that a CPI that does hedonic adjustments and substitutions maintains your standard of living; as we go from free range to factory farms, and housing appreciation is excluded entirety.

Maybe it wont be bitcoin, maybe it will be fractional shares, or spot convert gold, but I am definitely waiting for the day when I can hold 0$ in cash. I’m already near 0, but I’d like to replace it entirely.

It’s objectively more private, if you take your own bias out of the equation. Monero doesn’t get much use however, its not very popular but it is private.

Ah weird.

Well python is slow due to garbage collection and dynamic types, if AI could fill those in it would make programming far easier at least.

You could write low level drivers in python.

Could AI allow you to write code in python, and then turn the python into a static language with static variables at least?

Wikimedia is even using php still. Firefox created Rust I believe, in order to advance.

Sorry, why are they greedy?

Oh cool, thanks.

Its interesting they don’t have all the services Proton does. I’d pay them for a email and VPN combo.

Gitlab Id say. It even works as a OAuth server. The docker container is very easy to setup.

I like a BeOS style vertical taskbar with window names. Neither of them do it well.

Not to mention DRM. They want to own your computer and prevent any kind of modification so that movie producers give them money.
