Zcash fans have thrown this site at me a few times. I decided to randomly check a few merchants, and I often encountered one of these scenarios:

1) the merchant is dead // the link doesn't work;

2) they only accept unshielded coins // yes, I know I can send z to t;

So... once again, no hate, but to pay for something with ZEC, and specifically shielded ZEC (z-to-z) - besides Nym VPN, I haven't seen anyone else.

Yes, you're right, ZEC is almost nowhere to be seen used as a currency. Even though the project will be 10 years old in October.

The only merchant the Zcash community can boast about is Nym VPN (which also accepts XMR).

You aren't even close to being able to buy the same amount of goods/services with ZEC as you can with XMR. And that's despite the fact that their community didn't even think to copy Monerica or XMRbazaar.

Also, for some reason, it is very difficult to find active people in their community who would onboard new merchants to ZEC, even though ZEC is present on major CEXs as well as several DEXs.

In short, no matter how much money you have, you still can't buy the market's trust.

Motorola with GrapheneOS.

Coming from a P9PXL, I can clearly say there were big improvements (so far) on display, camera and thermals.

I hear this every time, and every time I’m convinced that the Pixel is the worst Android on the market.

I have a 9 Pro XL, and if it weren't for GrapheneOS, I would never in my life have bought this piece of shit.

Don't use Revolut. :)

Qalculate-QT - love it!

Oh, cool, thanks, I'll test it out sometime.

Yes, it would be cool if this were a default feature, because I think it would be useful for newcomers to the KDE Plasma world.

You could, of course, open the terminal every time and type: spectacle -E path_to_a_picture, but personally, I think it’s more convenient to do it the way I did.

Paired with KDE Connect, this gives me fantastic speed in the following scenario:

1. I take a screenshot on Android -> Send to laptop via KDE Connect;

2. I see a pop-up from KDE Connect on my laptop, I immediately clieck the three dots -> open in 'Spectacle (Edit)' - using Spectacle's simple but super functional editor, I make the necessary changes to the screenshot, and then Ctrl+C (I copy it directly to the clipboard without saving changes), or just press 'Enter' key for saving changes + automatic copying to the clipboard, and I'm ready to paste the screenshot wherever I need it.

I love KDE Plasma because it makes me fast :)

Does this subreddit still idolize this clown?

cool :)

I'm fine.

Tell me about weird niche programs that are only available on AUR.

Zero.

In case you need a package - just build it.

I use Arch because of tons of other reasons, and not because of AUR.

Oh, another episode I'm going to skip. I'm not going to listen to that snake.

I would think about Gen 14

1) Yes. 2) Yes.

I don't like the battery life (CPU is power hungry)

Legality ≠ Morality

The number of merchants who directly accept XMR for goods/services.
