Ğ1 (https://duniter.org/) has a strategy that largely solves this. It's a web-of-trust cryptocurrency with some adoption in France that includes a UBI.

To become a full member of the WoT, you need five valid signatures from existing members, and be at a distance of <=5 signature hops away from 80% of the network. Signatures expire, and there's limits on issuing signatures. (There's a few more rules to it)

The borrow checker still applies in unsafe { } blocks. What it means (iirc) is that you can do pointer/memory stuff that would otherwise not be allowed. But you still fully adhere to Rust semantics

fwiw, there is a setting in Teams itself to have it use your default browser instead, on top of having to change it on a system level. This does not work when using the PWA though

It isn't just the volume of requests, but also bandwidth. There have been cases where scraping represents >80% of a forge's bandwidth usage. I wouldn't want that to happen to the one I host at home.

When I bought my XPS 15 in 2023, I got the "extended care" package (name may differ). Last year I had an issue with the graphics card no longer being detected, and they sent someone over to replace the mobo two days later. Support was very good.

No power issues and such either, but I don't run Windows on it. Only problem I notice is audible whine coming from the speakers when charging and doing GPU work, like scrolling.

Not great, not terrible?

Nice! Reusing old hardware is great.

You can center the taskbar. Add a spacer on the left of "Application Launcher" and on the right of "Icons-Only Task Manager", and they'll center what's in between.

Unfortunately, that doesn't completely center the application launcher popup, it's still a bit more on the left. Good enough for me.

For end-user applications, there's potentially the PolyForm Noncommercial License[1]. But since your project is a library, I would not recommend straying from well-known OSS licenses. Very few people would consider using a non-OSS library in a project of any kind.
