Most people who use anything other then windows for work will still use the best software for the job. Most of the advances made for it may likely also work on other distros.

I imagine this just provides a additional option that can freely be distributed and supported with european standards.

It also has potential to be used in schools moving people away from dependency on Microsoft.

This is why some things are trade secrets rather then trademarked.

Only very few people in the world know the coca cola recipe. Legally your free to recreate it and sell. Good luck though knowing that the company has an exclusive contract to process cocaïne leaves into flavoring extract. (The narcotic byproduct sold to phrama)

Sure i’ll have a look at decentralized certificate authorities options.

Very possibles to adapt my idea to whatever technology provides those function honestly.

The only actual connection i have with blockchain is that reading about it when it was new directly inspired in me a possible way to combat fake news.

That hardware inputs can be faked is part of my reasoning here because there would be transparency of the source of footage.

If a reputable journalists fake their own footage and it would be found out their credibility would be gone.

If they often rely on borrowing footage and don’t fact check it. Credibility will degrade as well.

Journalist media that does their work and only uses credible sources will thrive.

My solution isn’t about who or how signature gets created but how ordinary people can check for themselves where a clip within footage originates from.

I am fine with inventing a new system that does this and call it something else than blockchain. But my understanding is that it does pretty much provide this functionality in a robust manner.

Also typing these comments on the go caused me to lose something dear to me on public transport. I am very sad now and probably wont engage further.

I am not sure what you think blockchain actually is but in essence its a decentralized ledger of signatures.

Not coins, no sellable goods. Just that. Computers connected in a network to verify the correctness of a cloud ledger.

So if you say signing footage is one thing how do you propose a laymen can verify that signature without centralized databank.

I understand some people may not mind centralized authority but i prefer against it.

I am willing to hear peoples thoughts on this. I am not pro or against blockchain or any form of technology. With the information i have this just seems like a reasonable and practical solution.

For the longest time now, from before AI, before NFT was a thing i had an idea to incorporating blockchain tech into real life media footage to combat the rise of misinformation.

The metadata, original author would be stored on this chain the moment footage is recorded. The biggest challenge is that this means the devices themselves need to be connected.

Adoption would be slow but i imagined news and official channels make use of this tech first. Eventually all footage outside of this will be seen as not trustworthy

Then NFTBros came along and people have shit on this idea ever since. Some days i feel that was a conspiracy to ruim out perception of potential but more likely humans where just greedy.

I still believe this could work. Detailed example below:

The system works with a fair amount of transparency, verifiable digital signatures for recording devices and their owners. Professional cameras and organizations would have publicly known IDs, while individuals could choose to remain pseudonymous authors but would need to build credibility over time.

Let’s say BBC records an interview. When viewers watch this content on any platform, they can access blockchain verification through an embedded interface (perhaps a small icon in the corner). This shows the complete chain of custody from recording to broadcast.

The system verifies content through computational comparisons. When a raw interview is edited into a final piece:

• Each original clip has a unique blockchain signature
• The final edited version’s signature can be compared against source material
• Automated analysis shows what percentage of original footage matches
• Modifications like color correction or audio adjustments are detected through signature differences
• Additional elements like station logos or intro sequences have their own verified identifiers

By starvation.

I am not even kidding, see indie game the movie.

Games are art and making art in this works comes with the sacrifice of not being able to afford anything until you by chance become popular.

Wait, i am supposed to have a business and make money?

How? It’s not like i am going to show it to anyone, mine is freaking ugly and the more expressive, the worse it gets.

A single AGI would not be to different from a human. But it may not take long for AGI to develop ASI, superior to human intelligence.

Thats not an astronaut impact but alien contact

All i did was a websearch for “Obsolete dictionary meaning”

Its the interpretation of www.merriam-webster.com which in its own words is “an Encyclopaedia Britannica company, America’s leading provider of language information for more than 180 years.”

I get that language is semantics, i use a lot of creative liberties with language all the time but i still think that “Not longer enough profit potential” is not covered under the term “Obsolete” You could argue some doubt but its a cold-hearted business, they don’t get the benefit of doubt. Also my expression doesn’t really need legal or practical value. I am glad to have said what i did.

I had some doubts people would get the joke. I should go add an /s

To answer your question it depends on the keyboard but i don’t actually care, the difference between - and – is just semantics to me.

Just google the character and copy paste it as needed. /s

I tripple checked before posting. 1b describes technological fashion.

Leg prothesis are not out of fashion for people who need them.

There is no alternative clearly superior v2 product that i could find either.

I dont have any nitendo emulations but i guess this tells me i should collect some and save em on a harddrive just in case i ever need it.

Software preservation is a nobel act after all.

According to the dictionary the company is lying.

Ah the duality of people.

They are in love with the ability to make her happy, and bond emotionally.

Tech companies are in love with the ability to analyze your emotional state so they can exploit it trough business offers giving them more money.

While still a tad creepy that she doesn’t officially know, They and them are not the same.

(Edit: They because OP is not the author)

To be fair, i had to dig pretty deep in order to make that comment.

Good people still exist, so does love.

Ops focus on a singular “nicely packaged “ egg made me unable to consider anything else then bird eggs.

I was so confused by your comment, i had to look it up.
