No one, there are already plenty of protocols defined for distributed computing and are made open source. In a hypothetical lib left social network, If you want different networks, that's fine, you just have to make your own protocol. It's like how countries shouldn't have borders, or how computing platforms shouldn't lock you in or out of others (take apple/Mac OS as an example, versus Linux)

Then it's up to individuals to verify the source code and choose to be a node operator. Not everyone needs to be a node operator, just enough on that the common skilled worker can partake should they need to

If you don't like the "rules of governance" of whatever network you're in, that's fine, go to a different one you do like, or make your own with your own rules. If it's actually a better system of "decentralized digital government", you'll attract people into your Network.

Consumer grade tech is more than capable of achieving this. You don't need cpus with 2nm transistors (which are heavily gatekept by oligarchs), there's plenty of open software and hardware protocols/designs to prove not only this concept works, but has been done before by now.

The only problem in the past was with solving the identity problem and preventing Sybil attacks, but that's becoming less of a concern for other reasons (which I could elaborate further on)

I doubt you could put him in prison, he's still technically a former president, where would you put secret service for example? Lots of undefined legal gray area here

Unfortunately, it's for the best. If you're serious about research you have to present yourself. Especially if you're the first person to discover it, you're the most - possibly only - qualified person to talk about that thing.

Part of scientific communication is giving elevator talks. You have to be able to argue for funding.

Not to mention, if you never develop those skills, you're just opening yourself up to getting a worse financial incentive for the same amount of work

I wanted to be a hacker as a kid, so I had some experience with Backtrack 5. A prof said if you wanted to be a cowboy coder, do everything in your terminal. That was good advice, I've learned a lot about OS's from that

Your OS is basically a set of drivers that allow you to leverage your hardware, as well as a package manager for managing your software, and a system for managing services (like at startup or by some event trigger)

I'm an advanced user but NixOS has been an excellent OS, it's like all the fun of tuning arch but with less elbow grease. I was a kde neon (ubuntu base + plasma display manager + KDE desktop environment) user before

I suppose they should be reported for stealing, but tax fraud (not a lawyer but this happened to a friend recently) because if you were employed by them they had to deduct that money, and if they kept your paychecks then they didn't deduct tax money for an employee, and that's lying to the IRS about financial information, which (again, not a lawyer) but sounds a lot like fraud

Reported them to the IRS for tax fraud?

End of the gold standard.

Before, if you didn't get a raise, the minimum wage would at least keep up with inflation since it was tied to gold

tldr is a billion times better than man pages,

apt install tldr

you're welcome, if you're like me and also trying to make a C++ project without Visual Studio, this got me to build the blank C++ project without visual studio. For some reason, I had to run it twice to get everything compiled/built/cooked and for unreal editor to open the project.

Inside this folder: Engine/Build/BatchFiles/

steam-run ./RunUAT.sh BuildCookRun -project=/home/absolute_folder_path_location/Documents/Unreal\ Projects/VRTest/VRTest.uproject -noP4 -platform=Linux -build -cook -compile

I'm sure there's a lot of options in RunUAT I'm forgetting that VisualStudio is a wrapper for, but this and BuildProjectFiles.sh or whatever it's called seems to be the heavy lifters that visual studio leverages
