While you might be right, does that mean we should all stop trying to be sustainanble because “oil company bad”? At least they’re trying to set the right example.
Also, Google could just more simply stop funding Firefox: Mozilla gets a lot of money from Google just to be the default search engine. Then again, maybe Firefox can switch to Bing or Duckduckgo, though I don’t know if those would pay as well as Google.
Time to boycott widevine and insist websites switch to an open standard … (though honestly good luck with that, Google might very well win that battle)
I see you don’t like freedom of speech, at least not for people who disagree with you
True, democracy =/= freedom, though they usually (used to) go hand in hand
Seems like that’s the new global definition of “freedom” in general
Remember you are saying this on social media ;)
I think he’s implying he’s going to invest another 1.2k in the stock market, in vaccine dev companies / ETFs / etc. I could be wrong…
I’m not sure about the social dynamics with proof of stake, you might be right but, why aren’t people willing to volounteer? Is there a limit to how many stakeholders there are? or a minimum (large) stake, meaning you must be rich?
Anyways, one thing I can say for sure: these dynamics already exist with proof-of-work: miners started using specialized hardware, raising the barrier to entry for the “small guys”, so instead, people join large mining pools which are becoming more and more centralized.
So at least proof-of-stake is not worse in this respect.
A lot, but the solution exists, and it doesn’t require getting rid of crypto coins, it’s called proof-of-stake. Then maybe people can stop building stupid mining rigs …
Until the banks (or the government, or someone more powerful than you) decides you shall not use your money and those funds get blocked. Or maybe you don’t want to tell your bank, or the government, what you do with your money. Yes, there’s cash, but it’s going away. And please don’t tell me “you have nothing to hide, so nothing to worry”, there’s plenty of legitimate reasons for privacy.
If people stopped thinking about crypto as “EaZZy MoNey” and instead, just treated it for what it was meant for, as a currency, it could actually be useful. But please let’s get rid of proof-of-work and energy waste.
Crypto was invented as a fully decentralized form of keeping and spending money, not as an “investment” (really, gambling) instrument as it is used now, so I fully agree crypto isn’t evil, it’s how it’s currently used that’s a problem. Proof-of-work though is evil, due to its energy requirements. Thankfully some coins (e.g. ethereum) are switching to proof-of-stake which doesn’t waste energy for nothing.
I think I saw somebody selling drugs in a park next to a playground. We should forbid parks with playgrounds because they make it easy to sell drugs to kids.
Yep, you’re right, I’m just pointing out that for some, it’s not such clear cut. Ranked voting (or you know, a proportional system like in some European countries) would fix this.
Agreed, but then again, let’s say you don’t like democrats either, for whatever reason. What choices do you have? Any other party has zero chances. It’s time the US changes its voting laws to allow more than 2 parties to meaningfully exist, so people don’t have to always choose the lesser of the two evils.
Israel needs to stay tf out of gaza! did you read what I said???
Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying, why am I being downvoted and you upvoted?
Edit: Well, I’m happy to know most people agree with me, despite misunderstanding my comment
Israel is reaping what they sowed.
Maybe not justifiable, but 100% predictable and a direct response to Israel’s illegal actions (and unfortunately, as usual, innocent civilians are the ones who suffer).
I agree with people saying this might be mostly for satellite images, but even a drone pilot, staring at a shaky and noisy camera image due to the distance, EW and other interference, might have a hard time telling a decoy from a real one, well, unless there’s a helicopter on it of course.
