Except that PoWs (and thus PoS) are not #trustless.
You trust each member of the grid to not invest overwhelming computing power to subvert the #blockchain.
In a local community where everybody knows and trust each other, this might work.
On a larger scale, it won't.
E se io non volessi dare l'immagini e la voce di mia figlia a #Google? Se non volessi informarlo sull'identità dei suoi insegnanti e dei suoi compagni?

"I don't wanna kidnap princesses!" whined the little dragon.
"Then you needn't," replied the little dragon's father.
"But grampa said."
"Grampa is very old, and things were different in his time," the little dragon's father explained, "So if you'd rather kidnap princes, you have your mother's and my support."
"But I don't wanna kidnap ANYBODY."
The larger dragon paused, puzzling this fact.
"You... could develop Ransomware?"
"Ew!"

New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS
Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.
The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.
It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-eternal-network)
PDF of the text: https://monoskop.org/images/c/cc/Mansoux_Aymeric_Abbing_Roel_Roscam_2020_Seven_Theses_on_the_Fediverse_and_the_Becoming_of_FLOSS.pdf
Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!

When you're an ageing artist and need a new ergonomic device every year so that your body doesn't completely fall apart
Having said that, if you need some paperwork from me, no problem, just ask.
And... thanks @mwlucas for your tips! Really I didn't thought about this stuffs.
As for my own text, I hereby publicily grant @ekaitz_zarraga and #ElenQ the non-exclusive right to earn as much money as he can by printing and selling and otherwise distributing "What is Informatics" in any format and by any means.
I'd strongly prefer it to not be distributed over #surveillance systems (#Google, #Facebook and so on...) but I know no way to prevent it.
I'm very happy if he can become rich by selling such essay, but honestly I don't need such money. My priority is to spread the contents of the essay.

Hi @mwlucas do you have any tip for a brand new publishing house that aims to distribute accessible, free and ethical technical books?
https://en.goteo.org/project/elenq-publishing
I guess @ekaitz_zarraga would appreciate them.
I'd suggest to write in #English too: I guess many people on the #fediverse have the technical skills and I guess many will be happy to help #Italian schools to fight the #coronavirus.

Avete buttato giù uno script per riprodurre l'installazione?
Cosa dicono i log?
Non ho mai installato Jitsi, ma sarebbe il primo posto che andrei a controllare.
Cosa ti fa pensare al limite di connessioni unix? Mi suona molto strano. Su che distribuzione state lavorando?

Pe ril supporto alle scuole, abbiamo dei problemi sistemistici con Jitsi, qualcuno ha esperienza? abbiamo una macchina con 48 Core e 96GB di ram che sta usando molte risorse, non tutte, però Jitsi cade. Temo possa essere il limit di unix connections, qualcuno può darci una mano?

#Cirio è un idiota.
Ok, c'era da aspettarselo, ma... non pensavo fosse così TANTO idiota.
O il #Coronavirus non costituisce un vero pericolo in #Piemonte, o questa pagliacciata di annunciare la riapertura delle scuole Mercoledì per poi rinviarla è molto peggio che se si fosse fatto come la Lombardia.
Ora tocca riorganizzarsi per l'ennesima volta.
Un vero coglione.
