Pope Francis is gearing up for the first millennial saint, a web developer known as 'God's influencer'
  • Wait so according to the article, someone prayed to him while in hospital and got healed? Is that all it takes to become a Saint? I wonder: if I ever get into a hospital I should pray to say Genghis Khan just to troll the Church.

  • truth of open source and foss
  • I get from this that whoever made this meme doesn't like foss, but I don't get what is it trying to say. That foss is just a way for big tech to have software for free and that it's production is chaotic?

  • Why bitcoin is designed to pay less for network security each cycle?
  • As far as I know the fees are determined by the market, the only thing that decreases is the reward for finding a block. I believe the reasoning about it is to have a limited amount of bitcoins in circulation. If there was no cap on supply then the value of Bitcoin would crumble as essentially in the long term the miners could "print" or "mine" infinitely many of it.

    Miners are still though incentivized to keep the security of the network as long as there is demand for transaction. Everytime you put out a transaction on the blockchain you pay a small fee to the miners. The higher the fee the shorter you will have to wait for the bitcoins to be transferred as more miners will be incentivized to put your transaction on the blockchain while mining.

    So the reasoning about the whole system is: make at first Bitcoin scarce to encourage mining and as more and more people own the cryptocurrency the more mining will shift from creating Bitcoins out of nowhere to getting money from the transaction fees. At least that's how I understand it.

  • Men hunt and women gather? Large analysis says the long-held idea is flat-out wrong
  • Interesting. It makes me curious, was there no specialization at all then? If male and female humans always participated in all activities equally, wouldn't they end up evolving very similar traits?

    Maybe it's a bit of a lazy explanation, but the hunting labor division sort of made sense to me, since throwing say a spear requires upper body strength, which is higher in males on average.

  • Bind mouse button to keyboard key while game is running
  • I use highly customizable tiling manager, so I more or less automated these things where I switch bindings depending on what window is focussed. I think though that if you know how to rebind the mouse click manually you can just automate it through bash script.

    Basically First line, rebind everything Second line launch the game Third line, rebind things back.

  • What would you consider your political ideology to be?
  • I'd say I'm economic center left and socially extremely liberal.

    I Iike maximum personal freedom. For example: I'm fine with legalizing , taxing and regulating all drugs including things like heroin: with proper labels and forbidden to sell to children. For the record I personally would never put drugs into my own body, but people should have the freedom to choose if they wish to do so.

    I want a well regulated capitalism with strong employees and consumer protections. I am somewhat undecided when it comes to things like worker coops and other forms of workplace democracy, but I think I'd lean towards a somewhat mixt system. Something akin to 50% of board members in a private company elected by employees and 50% by shareholders: that way there are still some incentives to invest, but also some checks and balances by people who actually work in the company and who thus wouldn't want to vote against their own interests.

    And finally strong social safety nets with public housing for all low income people. Can be even some Soviet style brutalist architecture apartments, as long as it can house everyone and is reasonably well maintained.

  • Are there any android emulators on Linux phones?

    As much as I'd love to completely get rid of Google/Apple apps, it's not always possible. My main concern is that I am sometimes required to use two factor authentication apps such as my banking app for example.

    I expect these are only available on android/apple store, so my question is, is it somehow possible to emulate android on let's say pinephone (or any other Linux phone) and get these two factor authentication apps still work?
