@kimmie@mastodon.social I remember seeing it and thinking "Oh, magic internet money, like that'll be a thing, stupid bloody idea"

Next thing I hear about it several years later "Bitcoin hits several thousand pounds per"

@kimmie@mastodon.social Hope it works out for you

I'm still mildly kicking myself for not buying in to bitcoin when it was still a dollar or less per coin thingy

@kimmie@mastodon.social Honestly, I'm still not sure what ethereum's actually for

People keep saying "SMART CONTRACTS" and "DAO" and I have no idea what they're on about

@kimmie@mastodon.social Ah, got yourself into some of them Dunning-Krugerrands have you?

@HTHR@cybre.space Well I'd be convinced

@SarcasmKid Luckily the majority of my German is "Ich bin ein Berliner" which can be used in two situations!

Either "I am a Berliner" or "I am a doughnut" depending on context

@HTHR@cybre.space @bea If anything I think that's probably a more painful mistake than any of the kind that leaves scars

@SarcasmKid I'm halfway expecting that one of these days you're just going to add wheels and a motor to a bed so you can drive around in it and never have to leave bed

@jalefkowit@octodon.social It got slammed by critics and the director is actively going out and saying it's shit

@SarcasmKid *tuts loudly*

That ought to do it

@TheyCallMeMo no but hearing that I think we might have to retcon it

@squirrel hmm...

I'm out of ideas I'm afraid

@squirrel ah, one of those little niggly problems that are far more annoying than if it doesn't work completely

Did you do full updates after installation? 'cause the only thing I can think of is that the newest version of something might have introduced a bug that the older version on the liveusb didn't have

@squirrel Hold up, you'll be on the latest release won't you?

'cause that might be the issue, apparently there's a bug somewhere in the wayland/xwayland/xorg thingy mawhatsits in regard to wacom tablets not working properly and it hasn't been fixed in time for the artful aardvark release of ubuntu
