It's not like the platform has been notoriously bad at moderating the open and unencrypted channels with CSAM, Arms trafficking, Drug trafficking, frauds, and scams.

like I’ve said they’re still developing the tech. You do realize this is all new, and again moving goalposts. You’re acting as if this wasn’t new tech only a few years ago and tech doesn’t change over time 🤦‍♂️.
As far as drilling down we started on ERP, you went left field into healthcare. That’s a goalpost move when I never mentioned healthcare. This all started because you asked for one example of utility and I gave one, and then kept moving the goalpost. Have a good day

there’s many articles how blockchain can be used in healthcare.
This one is from HHS for example https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/blockchain-for-healthcare-tlpwhite.pdf

you keep moving goal posts, first it’s Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP. I show how they are doing blockchain, now it’s FDA because they’re not selling you something but the FDA isn’t ERP, they are government and I already said government is slow to adopt new technology I mean the government still uses systems running FORTRAN FFS. You want to talk healthcare we have Deloitte and others proposing solutions for it https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/public-sector/articles/blockchain-opportunities-for-health-care.html

Accumatica one of the ERP's I mainly helped consult for has been working on blockchain related things as far as 2017 I can recall.
Many banks are still looking into blockchain related solutions. There's a few integrations into SAP, Oracle has a blockchain solution as well... https://www.oracle.com/blockchain/ don't know how you missed that one.

blockchain can be updated, and yes it’s being looked at for many ERP’s in private blockchains. I used to do ERP consulting. Do a little googling you’ll see there’s a lot of people looking into private blockchains to solve many problems that don’t involve cryptocurrency.
Don’t conflate what cryptocurrency does with what a private blockchain is capable of doing.

which relies on an additional function, but that doesn't change the fact a private blockchain can be better for many types of softwares or industries such as financial, and especially in the ERP world. Many companies have been looking to blockchain to fix a lot of complaints with most databases for the past few years.

It's not really trivial when you can modify a SQL database without an audit trail. Blockchain relies on the output of the previous block to determine the next block so if you go back and alter it, it invalidates blocks forward.
These are actual benefits known to blockchain, and keep in mind I am saying blockchain which can exist outside of cryptocurrency. You can have blockchain without being tied to cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency happens to be one of the most well known uses of it

you never specified better, you said a project that has actual utility. I also said government is slow to adopt new technologies. It doesn't disprove anything when there are many projects competing in the space to do the same thing. There are many reasons blockchain has advantages such as an immutable ledger.
I don't believe blockchain solves or should be used for everything but there are many cases blockchain, even without cryptocurrency has advantages.

this was done years ago, it wasn't just a trial. Government is slow to adopt new technologies. Also you asked for examples, I merely gave one. You can google for many more examples https://decrypt.co/43934/a-city-in-france-uses-tezos-blockchain-to-vote-on-local-project

to add to this, the whole half assed approach many have to politics, i.e. only caring about US Presidential politics but not your Senators, Representatives, Gubernatorial, Local and County elections in addition to not understanding Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, and Green primary and delegate systems is a huge reason I stopped caring about politics. Too many won't do the research to do the basics of what needs to happen for change other than hold some signs or type some messages #Politics

2024-07-08 17:41:59 UTC

If Democrats really cared about having Joe Biden step down you need to become or pressure delegates to vote differently in the upcoming DNC.
This is why I repeatedly tell people if you want change in politics, you need to be actively involved and research how changes happen instead of just bitching about it from behind a keyboard.

Social media has always seemed like one of those platforms that doesn't benefit from blockchain nor does it need it.

Monero, ICP, ADA. XTZ, Bitcoin, Ethereum. Yes there are BS projects on some of those chains but most of these have utility at some level.
XTZ actually was used in a local election for example for voing on a public works projects of some kind

I had someone ask if I would launch a meme coin because apparently that's all the hype right now. I have nothing against cryptocurrency but I am tired of meme coins taking spotlights instead of projects with actual utility and purpose.
I still do tinker, research, and invest in cryptocurrency but not meme coins.

I have a feeling my occassional stutters in Pop!_OS may be some memory issues in my main Linux workstation as it had the similar G.Skil memory I had just replaced in my Windows streaming box that was having memory issues.
Well this is annoying, and why I usually stick to Crucial memory. I'll have to do a memtest86+ run after my stream, but I haven't noticed any other major issues.
If it is the problem, hopefully the Tiktok and Twitch money can cover it

It took some tinkering but got @npub1f5q…vss4 reinstalled during my #Twitch stream on my @npub1qy0…nsak Librem 14. Had to rework some of the steps based off documentation to get the #Monero with wallet isolation going. Basically grabbed the tar ball and extracted it to a folder in the template Qube and then had the systemd run that. VPN is setup with @npub1xh7…v9hj and I am loving the GUI updates to Qubes now marking Dark mode easier except for a few places. #infosec

I think since @npub19kd…t56d is dragging their feet on releasing a Linux offline application for Proton Pass, I'll just pull the trigger on going to Bitwarden Premium. Yes I know there are self hosted options and yada yada yada. But I need something reliable, I can secure with my @npub13qx…k9q4 Yubikeys and have reliable access wherever I am, and still have offline capability. I can't believe they announce it in February with only a Windows App, and still drag their feet on Mac and Linux.
