No one is stopping anyone from funding open source.
Github has a donation page, there's patreon, etc.
Of course you need to have standards to send money. You are responsible for the donor money, so you need to do due diligence.
I don't know why it is relevant to know who the Reynolds Foundation is.
Having a look at the project that are being sponsored by OpenSats is enough for me. Also dergigi is involved in the OpenSats organization, which is great.
Console games before the generation of PS3 and similar were the best.
Once the game was shipped, that was it. No updates. It was the same, forever.
Also you could play the games immediately, no waiting for updates of the game or the console.
Now console games are basically PC games ported to a custom made PC, shipped half-finished, with hundreds of Gigabytes in updates and micropayments.
I still remember Metal Gear Solid's psycho mantis reading my memory card and making comments about the other games I had in there...
Transaction fees are designed to cover the block reward eventually. It's by design.
It's a clever solution to a difficult problem, and it is working.
Remember this was designed and started about 15 years ago, and it is still working flawlessly...
Every halving builds more confidence in Bitcoin.
It's by design.
Phase out block reward, transaction fees step in.
Satoshi designed the system to behave exactly like it is doing now, 15 years later. And he only had one chance to do this.
Could it be The Trust Machine?
I live in the US and I know some wallets won't work because of that
Bitcoin works for every person, independent of where they live.
Some lightning wallets I like: Phoenix, BlueWallet, Alby, Blixt, Breeze.
Any passport from the Schengen Area would probably be very high on that list as allows you free movement to 29 European countries.
I think having another passport is a good idea, as that gives you options. Being stuck in one country is not ideal.
You never know what your country will be in a decade.
If I install, say, gmail or google maps on this phone, have I ruined privacy?
There are degrees of privacy.
With GrapheneOS you have the option to not give big tech your data, but of course you can opt-in to do so installing Gmail or other Google/Meta/etc apps.
Note that you can read and send emails from your gmail account using a much more private email client, such as FairEmail or K-9 Email
You can also get map directions using other apps such as Organic Maps, Magic Earth, etc.
Is it possible to have multiple "private" profiles? For instance,
Yes, you can have multiple profiles, including a guest one:
GrapheneOS raises the limit on the number of secondary user profiles to 32 (31 + guest) instead of only 4 (3 + guest) to make this feature much more flexible.
Each one of these profiles is unique, private, and independent of each other. For example you can have a special profile with sandboxed Google Play installed while your main profile doesn't have it.
User profiles each have their own unique, randomly generated disk encryption key and their own unique key encryption key is used to encrypt it. The owner profile is special and is used to store sensitive system-wide operating system data. This is why the owner profile needs to be logged in after a reboot before other user profiles can be used. The owner profile does not have access to the data in other profiles.
For further information, the GrapheneOS discussion board is excellent, as well as the official site
This article explains how Microsoft is confident in the upcoming Qualcomm ARM chips.
Apple has been very successful with their ARM chips (M1, M2, etc).
This makes me wonder about Intel. Will they become the next Nokia?
I find it that the best inventions are created by a small group of people.
Even single devs have created amazing stuff.
I have only love for the marijuana
I will share with you this quote I find relevant:
Give up one thing to get everything, or give up everything for one thing
AI will never have a direct connection to spirit and source
What do you mean with this phrase?
If you see two artworks, one made by a human and one made by an AI, where is the spirit and source in each one? how can you tell the difference?
What I can see is that an AI doesn't have intent.
So, in reality, in the example I discussed before, it was really two humans, but one used AI. An AI doesn't create an artwork out of the blue. It doesn't have intent like humans can have.
