stop shilling for industry, bootlicker
I’m not talking about bitcoin I’m talking about the creator of the video. And their talking points are very much libertarian.
good. babies should not have candy, that shit is for kids
They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don’t care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I’d say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can’t print money, that’s basically self-imposed austerity.
if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There’s no need to hype it up any more than it already is.
Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.
for anybody else who has no idea what this is, it’s a Terraria mod
Its a microblogging platform like mastodon and no, we don’t need it in the fediverse. There’s exactly one explanation for why they would want to join.
In the best case, a German grandma
Kanye is crazy racist and has been for a while, I don’t think anybody here disagrees
Another user commented that you can run Unbound (the technology used by pihole) on your machine.
Even easier, configure your device to use an ad block DNS resolver. Control D has free ones: https://controld.com/free-dns
actually, it is. let me explain.
Let’s simplify and say that there are peak hours and low hours. 100 people call during a peak hour, and 25 during a low hour. The chance of calling during a peak hour is 80%, since you are four times as likely to be one of the 100 rather than one of the 25.
The same effect means that you are almost always on planes and trains that are very full, even though every now and then they ride almost empty. Fewer people get to experience empty train rides by definition.
Of course this effect falls apart when your usage patterns differ from everybody else’s. If everybody takes the train at rush hour, you might ride an empty one at noon. Or, if you call the hotline while everybody else is sleeping, you might have a better chance.
But yeah companies also just lie to make themselves look better lol
After reading the article it seems like she isn’t actually facing 30 years. She is being charged with posession and that can be punished with up to 30 years. I’m sure no judge would actually give her maximum sentence over a tiny amount dissolved in bong water. Still fucked up that she’s being charged at all though.
Some of these graphs are just very hard to read even with the explanation another user gave
Yeah this is sad. Aside from his normal MEP duties, Breyer did incredible journalistic work on the EU plans on centralizing incredible power and creating a digital hellscape in Europe. They are planning to go full CIA on us.
They call themselves that
okay well Western media isn’t talking about it. I exclusively hear about this on lemmy from folks simping for China.
Fuck all empires, fuck the US, fuck China, fuck Russia. All have shitty to broken democracies and way too much centralized power.
What’s the point of constantly defending China? If it was just a one time thing that’s fine, but it happens nonstop around these parts.
No need to simp for China to be a communist
on this note, is there a goodboomerhumor community on lemmy yet?
Okay fair point, there’s definitely hypocrisy (although from my information there is definitely some ethnic cleansing going on in xinjiang). Got a different vibe from the meme initially though
I’m still unhappy about it, because I don’t trust corporate interests in open and community-driven spaces like the fediverse. It’s never mixed well in the past.
I wouldn’t be surprised if BlueSky is soon “the easy way to follow people on Mastodon”
I would be even less surprised if they attempt an Embrace-Extend-Extinguish tactic within 5 years.
there’s still some great subreddits, but many of the mainstream ones have devolved into right wing cesspools
