Entirely this, many in the West have no idea how difficult crossborder banking actually is for the vast majority of human beings on Earth.

Yeah, this isn't exactly what I meant sorry. I'm always disappointed at the lack of passport stamps in Europe these days.

fair call, considering it's all permissioned, to pathetically argue the point I don't really care much for: I guess you could claim some sort of providence of money movements using a git like system but realistically I think it&#x

Have you transferred money across borders to an individual lately? As much as I want to criticize this FB is probably in an excellent position to navigate the kyc minefields.

Even government departments trying their very best to anonymise data tend to mess it up, what makes you think an advertising company has any interest in doing the same? Their entire existence is built upon deanonymising and monetising that

Maybe the real problem is people of "significance" have no simple way of duplicating their posts there? Many seem to desire the biggest audience possible.

Were we not allies spilling blood in the same war lending each other equipment and assistance? What is the exact harm in it? I'm always highly impressed when foreigners come to Australian war ceremonies of their own accord.

I'm not following? You'd still need a government sanctioned distro. Simply downloading Debian from a valid mirror isn't the same.

The Crypto party in Sydney runs regular instructional meetups for media types, it sadly doesn't get much participation. This stuff is vital if not essential for democracy. Australia is slowly devolving into an authoritarian state and

The response is predictable as ever. The EU is launching emissions monitoring satellites soon and unless you discredit them too the reality will come out soon enough. There's a very real reason the US pulled out of an international agr

Given the prevalence and openly admitted nature of governments around the world who sockpuppet on various forums, I doubt it's going to get easier. The US alone spends vast sums on trying to sway online opinion.

Of course there is. Do you think many are willing to pay the price though? Apart from some publicised exceptions virtually every person on Earth prefers to externalize costs onto the environment when purchasing products.

What strange goalpost shifting. China's adherence to the Paris Accord despite agreeing to far greater cuts in emissions than most of the developed world is globally recognised. Trump pulled out of the worldwide agreement a few years ag

That link doesn't seem to be making the case, for me at least. It seems like a horrendous injustice. 25 years in prison for drunkenly loaning your car to a person who then committed crimes with it? That's insane.

The case looks terrible on paper and they obviously knew who their clients were to the point of interacting with them, but what's the difference between knowingly selling those same mob bosses a car which they go commit crimes in? The

Where's the lie in there? You link to your own complaints about cryptosystem choices but you'll have to provide the actual "lies" if you want that assertion that hold.

A lot of people have also been launching large scale sophisticated ddos attacks against protonmail. Combine that with baseless over-exagerrated claims easily refuted every 3 months and what does that tell you?

All democracy should be grassroots. I find the concept that you simply can't win an election or a candidacy without a large warchest to be abhorrent. We live in an age where media dissemination costs essentially zero. All politicians s

Not aware of any measure like that but shadowsocks is the one obfuscation method that has been able to bypass the GFW in China for a long time now. Always impressed that it still manages to work.

Palm oil produces 4x more per hectare than nearly all other types of vegetable oil. There's no easy fix here, the developed world is basically saying don't cut down your forests not long after we did so ourselves to make way for a

Consumers could always use less plastic. I don't see how anyone could think Malaysia is obliged to fix this mess for the West, they already take in large amounts for processing.
