Last issue, I wrote about how the Emirati firm that handed Trump and his family nine-figure crypto profits scored a huge win with an AI chip deal. Now they’re getting 15% of TikTok, too.

Trump stands to profit even more if his business partner, Zach Witkoff, achieves his dreams of soliciting investments in Trump real estate properties using crypto. He pitches it as a win for the everyman, leaving out that it would be a much bigger win for Trump’s wallet.

The team behind Trump’s memecoin is considering launching a $TRUMP treasury company. If it happens, it would likely mark a second Trump-linked token/treasury company operation riddled with conflicts of interest, where the same people sit on both sides of the deal.

Trump has officially pulled Brian Quintenz’s CFTC Chair nomination after he refused to be the Winklevoss twins’ bulldog.
“They completely nuked him. They made a phone call. They were like, ‘This is not going to fly with us.’ And it was a very short trip from there to [the nomination] being killed.”

America’s largest union federation, AFL-CIO, has opposed proposed crypto market legislation as “the perfect environment for the next financial crisis to germinate”. Whether anyone’s read the letter yet is another question, because the shutdown is stalling legislative work.

The crypto bill faces an awkward snag — its top lobbyist is married to the FTC Commissioner Trump tried to fire.
“I think it’s ironic that one of the Trump admin’s more monarchical acts six months ago is going to potentially blow up one of their major legislative projects.”

A group of pro-crypto Senators is questioning why the CFTC isn’t prohibiting sports-related events contracts, even though the lax enforcement has been popular in the industry.

The SEC has had to remind crypto treasury companies that insider trading isn’t allowed in SEC-regulated markets just because crypto is involved... at least in theory.

The SEC also had to pause trading for one of these crypto treasury companies after potential market manipulation rocketed the stock price 2,000%. Looks like some people forgot the stock market still frowns on the kind of games common in crypto.

Tai Lopez, a self-help guru who once tried to sell $200,000+ NFTs that gave buyers the chance to join him to watch a 2-hour movie of his choice, has been accused of running a Ponzi scheme. He’s also the guy behind the ill-fated RadioShack crypto rebrand.

Coinbase has launched a campaign claiming that “big banks want another bailout”. Those worried about bailouts should probably worry more about poorly regulated crypto firms integrating themselves into the financial system.

The bitcoin community is fighting over an upcoming software change that one developer has warned will be the end of bitcoin. He has reportedly discussed creating a trusted group of censors with the authority to alter data recorded on chain.

Crypto lending — a major factor in the 2022 crypto meltdown — is having a comeback. In fact, one crypto lender just hired the guy accused of bankrupting BlockFi after he extended a huge line of credit to FTX based on a pinky swear.

@molly0xfff i'm sure said group of censors will *always* act in for the greater good, even at great expense to themselves

@molly0xfff I generally don't think we should fully conflate Trump, his $ETH based $TRUMP "coin" and Bitcoin $BTC. Even with that said i do believe he is using blockchains to get bribes.

Casa: un diritto negato. Emergenza abitativa e brutalità governativa

L’involuzione progressiva dell’Istituto Autonomo Case Popolari Gli Istituti Autonomi delle Case popolari (IACP) nascono nel 1903 come enti di edilizia popolare allo scopo di garantire affitti abitativi a canoni calmierati. Nel dopoguerra continuano ad avere tale funzione ai fini di...

@aeva wow, you got one of those keyboards without any letters on the keys... fancy...

alright, round one of upgrading old LTS ubuntu studio to slightly less old LTS ubuntu studio complete, and the computer is still operable! now for round two 😎

@vaporeon_ I used to main gentoo, but that was probably around 2005 give or take. The main thing I remember is foss project maintainers tend to get really annoyed when you report bugs that were caused by building with -O3 😅
I don't mind having multi day long compilation jobs to install or update packages, I know to plan accordingly. I wouldn't mind pointers on how to get the most out of modern gentoo though.

Va in scena la tragica epopea. Carrara – Teatro Politeama e speculazioni edilizie
@anarchia
Il Teatro Politeama di Carrara rappresenta la città in molteplici aspetti, intrecciando con essa vizi e virtù, propulsioni positive sia politiche che artistiche, ma condividendone anche aspetti di malaffare per gente senza scrupoli, nell’eterna lotta tra interessi

@aeva Good luck! (Let me know if you want any advice, I like talking about Gentoo, I don't know whether you've installed Gentoo before or not and I don't want to be condescending by explaining things that you already know)
In case it helps, I followed this article to set up building binary packages on the faster machine and installing them on the slower machine: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Binary_Host_Quickstart
Problem is that that requires an existing Gentoo machine, though... Or doing some stuff with Docker on a machine that runs some other distro, I guess
But compiling on a Core 2 Duo itself is 100% possible if you're OK with letting big compiles (like Clang and GCC) run overnight
