So gold is inflation-proof?
Yes, but only to the extent that you can store it, defend it and find a buyer when needed.
Gold loses value at exactly the rate of the cost of the armed guards you are paying to keep it from being stolen.
Pay too little, and it takes its value to someone else who is better armed or sneakier.
And if someone set aside gold for you that you have never seen, no they didn’t.
I don’t want to eat an intelligent creature!
It’s okay. These dolphins spent all their money gambling.
Oh. Alright then.
Haha. I didn’t say we should. I’m just pointing out that it’s an option, again.
We could choose to believe that same folks who previously told us that cocaine, asbestos, lead, and tobacco smoke were healthy / perfectly safe / not really harmful.
Google’s recent decision to omit Pixel device trees and compress the Pixel kernel source history has made our work in this area even more important. Going forward, Fairphone devices can be used as potential “reference devices” for open-source ROMs.
Nice. Going to have to get a fairphone, now.
That is delightful. A smile for allies and discomfort for assholes.
With open source, it’s easy to get caught lying, or even just pushing on the boundaries of good ethics (cough Ubuntu cough).
If it’s controversial, it is possible to verify the claims.
