I don’t get it. Why should anyone be thankful that they lost bitcoins, simply because the software was free? I really dislike this trend of absolving free software of literally any quality standards whatsoever. Don’t act entitled, sure, but you’re doing no one any favors by refusing to even express desire for better quality.

- nradov 8y agoAll coffee has poison in it. Acrylamide is a known carcinogen. Caffeine is also poisonous: if you drink about 100 cups of coffee it will literally kill you. You'll have to be more specific about the type and quantity of poison.
