Mainstream Linux distros have been focused for too long on being as similar to Windows and Mac as possible to ease adoption. I've come to believe this isn't the way. Linux needs to embrace its own aesthetic, its own ethos, unapologetically. Lean into rice and TUIs!
@dhh Furthermore, running services on big clouds should cost less than running them in-house since they have much greater scale. But in practice, it costs 10x more.
Cloud computing is the most successful "you will own nothing and be happy" psyop in history. We gave up on DARPA's beautifully, decentralized design for the internet to become renters for life. Tragic.
@ETHGlobal My experience is that protocols and organizers also tend to abandon builders after grants.
The truth is that we are not yet even close to creating protocols and platforms to sustain innovations in the long term.
@nikzh No decentralized network is capable of being “the world computer”. Ethereum is much more than just a blob storage for L2, but even this is a great responsibility.
And using price to discredit a technology is a huge fallacy.
@chrispavlovski@alexandre why people still wasting time with "alternative" centralized platforms? If I want a real censorship-resistant platform, I would never use Rumble or any shit like this.
Bitcoiners were people who wanted to replace the financial system with a p2p cash system. Today, Bitcoiners do not use BTC as cash, are against other cash solutions outside of Bitcoin, and still do not accept that Blockchain can be used for general purposes other than cash.
@vinibarbosabr I like the example. Cryptos are fragile like sand castles, they continually dissolve and depend on continuous maintenance to stay standing. Yet we like to build and are getting very good at it.
@NazmBLGL2@_ibrahimoumar@MinaProtocol@proto_kit@IPFS Is not necessary to have a fully understanding of a software to use it. That’s why UI/UX exist. But for those with advanced knowledge in that fields, this technologies are already very known and reliable.

@vinibarbosabr@EmanAbio@EvanWeb3@SasuRobert@KyleSamani L2 is great to scale because it can aggregate many transactions into single L1 commitments.
And it can be done in a very decentralized way, although we see a lot of centralized L2, it's just a design choice from that specific L2.
@vinibarbosabr@EmanAbio@EvanWeb3@SasuRobert@KyleSamani There's a practical limit to how many shards you can add while maintaining security. As shards grow, they face their own scalability challenges. Also, shards are not incompatible with L2, in fact in Ethereum shards are being adopted in a way to improve L2.
@vinibarbosabr@EmanAbio@EvanWeb3@SasuRobert@KyleSamani But when it comes to protocols, collaboration is much more important than competition. For example, the Internet works globally thanks to the consensus of universal protocols such as TCP/IP. If each country wanted to have its own protocol, a global Internet would not be possible.
