A good few plagues are diseases, so ... Why not both?

You are talking about crypto after the hype. But actually the idea before the hype was pretty cool. It was basically to allow safe payments around the world without any government control needed.

In my city there were a few shops that took Bitcoin back then and a cup of coffee was something like 2 Bitcoin.

Did you see crypto going away anywhere? Because I sure as hell didn't.

The cloud was the dumbest hype because it changed nothing. Network services were now named cloud services, that was it.

We also got:

  • cyber: the realisation that the internet exists but 20 years too late
  • big data: companies snorkeling your data for targeted advertising and government surveillance
  • blockchain: safe ways to pay your dealer and investment scams
  • VR: the weirdest sort of corporate meetings and some cool game experiments

IOT seems kinda ok in that regard. Connect your microcontrollers to the internet to allow some extra coordination.

KDE discover is one shop for all. You do update system, flatack, snap, addons and more with it. There is nothing to forget.

Wow, I didn't even think of that option. Savage.

Edit: I'm gonna steal this to annoy my coworkers.

A, B or C.

D would mean that you are in a country with a half hour DST offset, in which case we would miss the option 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Some custom keycaps and a custom layout definition and that should be doable. The numpad has 16 keys.

Yeah, its fucking absurd. Closest option is probably a fairphone right now. They allow a bunch of degoglified options of android and a few linux options too.

My mobile OS of choice is currently Lineageos for Microg. Makes all my apps work and protects me from google as good as possible.

You don't need to log in to google for any of what you listed to work with google play services.

Wow, I guess this is peak 2025. I know I'm calling it to early, but it can't get much worse than this.

Right?

Right???
