It goes so much further than this and it is absolutely frighting. The following sketched situations applies if you don't use Facebook at ALL. 99+% of every single person you meet has either FB, IG or WA installed on their phones and sh

Bitcoin was meant first and foremost as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It has to function as a large scale payments systems for it to work as a store of value (utility drives value). The current value proposition is ridiculous and c

The e-mails between Peter Todd John Dillon and the connection with Greg Maxwell and the FBI. There is a pastebin out there from 2013 which is mind blowing. (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=335658.0 ) But looking

After you watch the socialy bareable video it would probably make more sense. Makes it pretty clear that adam is satoshi (i would say with a 99% certainty). Adam says completely different things about bitcoin today than satoshi did all thos

Satoshi did predict just that, even before he launched the network (in 2008). “At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server fa

He probably wasn't fooled, or actually, he got screwed by both sides. He knew CSW wasn't satoshi, also he knew adam back was satoshi but couldn't tell anyone because of the NDA he signed (adam had long been compromised at tha

> 3. I always hope something will change and Firefox will become really really great again or someone will fork it. Abrowser (from trisquel) is what firefox should have been. Best fork out there imo.

Free as in freedom. Not price. You can ask any price for distribution of the software. You can ask any price for support. The software just has to come with the 4 essential freedoms.

Nothing changes except for the missing block reward. At the moment mining a block on BTC will net you about $100K (block reward + fees). If BTC wants to keep the same (relative) security as it has now while having no block reward, the trans

The apple store always distribute apps under a proprietary license. So even if the code is open-source, if you install it on your device through the apple store you are still installing proprietary software. They say on their Github page th

He has nothing against javascript. He is against non-free javascript which is just non-free software running in your browser. Using Openstreetmap is fine because you don't have to run non-free software on your computer. Almost all prop

Replicant is endorsed by the FSF. It has no GNU software in it whatsoever and almost all code comes from google. Try again.

Hurd is a GNU project so it doesn't even really need a second mention, it only needs that mention because there is a competing kernel (Linux) that is used with the system. Otherwise it's just known as the GNU system. The kernel is

You are free to install any operating system on it that you like. Just like your desktop. We will probably also see 100% free android versions (like Replicant) to be released for this phone when it's out. But you could also install ano

Yes that's a good starting point. And a great option if you have the money for it. This will also support the people that put in hard work to achieve and provide ultimate user freedom. If you are on a tight budget however i recommend b

You value (individual) developer freedom more than user freedom. Which is totally fine. However, the goal of Free Software is user freedom. Copyleft licenses help with user freedom because a program released under that license can never be
