Has anyone played #creeperworld 4 yet? Seems like a great game, but the price (~25$) is rather high...
Does anyone else find it a bother, worrisome how much their software projects are dependent on the Internet to be built, set up?
Is there just a huge potential for... What do they call it... Bitrot? Vaporwarification of all source code because old package servers go offline, change, etc? Tools disappear or change?
Just thought of this. Also earlier today I downloaded some piece of software through archive.org.

For those who wish to use Threema, there is now a version free of Google dependencies. You get it via a Fdroid repo and need to buy a a license.
"After the recent introduction of Threema Push, which allows Threema to be used without Google’s push service, we now go a step further by introducing Threema Libre. By design, this Threema version for Android is completely free of proprietary dependencies, and it is available exclusively via the alternative app"

Like one thing that bothers me: It still appears to be using PoW? So is it still fuelling the egregious power consumption and hardware abuse as Bitcoin? Of course on a smaller scale, but what will happen if #Monero gets as big as Bitcoin?
So, I've now heard a couple of what I'd call knowledgeable people talk about #monero. Can some (fanboy or not) explain me what it is *technically*? Like, is it a blockchain? How does it work? How does it establish trust? And how does it differ from Bitcoin? How does it solve the issue of the latter?
Young tech enthusiast. Likes software (and also general, just not work-) minimalsim. Constantly trying to escape big-tech software.
Other hobbies include making music, stargazing, math and recently chess, but there's a lot that piques my interest and a lot left to learn out there.
