Warum wurde dafür ein Hubschrauber eingesetzt? Das klingt unverhältnismäßig und teuer?

My most positive but realistic prediction: Bitcoin is gonna stay around as a pump-and-dump scheme to make the rich richer. Other cryptocurrencies will slowly fade away including (as one of the latest) ETH. They are not suitable as a currency and are more of a ~~gambling~~ investment opportunity. Per default, most cryptocurrencies are a privacy nightmare, especially Bitcoin.
There are exceptions. XMR is fairly stable in value and is actually really close to what many people want: cash but digital. If GNU Taler takes off, there's will be a more comfortable option for paying while retaining privacy, making XMR more obscure.
I assume laws and the state will also have an influence, especially with the climate catastrophe questioning the immense amount of energy necessary to run all of this. Even if crypto were more efficient if it replaced fiat, it's not gonna happen. There's hard power preventing it. Both at the same time is reckless when there are people dying.
Also money sucks in general so best case scenario it gets thrown onto the trash of history.

inb4 crypto shills: Remember that there are people whose income and investments depend on people believing bitcoin is more than gambling.

For others who wonder the same: the announcement is from the 19th this month and they licensed it under Apache 2.0.
This is really cool to see! I hope they are testing the waters for releasing the source engine as free software. I remember Gabe Newell stating that they would consider it if people were interested. Doesn't have to mean anything, but a woman can dream~

I heard of Chimera multiple times now, but everytime I look into it it doesn't seem to be more interesting and useful than say Alpine.
Do you have any write-ups about the security advantages of Chimera Linux?

Looks like they can talk ZigBee and have great home assistant support - interesting.
I will shamelessly steal that interior design :3

This is how you upgrade from Debian 11 to Debian 12: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
While this is a great and thorough guide for sys admins, people who just want their 'puter will be unable to follow. Ubuntu has a tool for this called "do-release-upgrade" iirc.

But it doesn't do any custom upgrade steps? For a correct upgrade, you need to follow Debian's manual. Otherwise you will break things afaik

Is the book good? I watched some of their videos, and especially the Wall of Awful helped me accept myself and totally makes me cry each time...

What lamp is that? Please tell me it's usable without some app 😭

But also cool socks, I really like the laces! Did you buy them like that or is that custom made?

Is that a video game or really cool desktop on the screen?

This isn't the point of the review. Verified apps only say this is the application as offered by the original vendor.
If the original vendor were to bundle malware, then that's a bad vendor, but still verified official software. Not that I actually think this will happen. Most user install malware such as Discord willingly. /j
