Solutions have existed for years (eg Gnosis Safe), they just aren’t being used by that exchange.

Funnily enough Nikolai (original creator of ENS, now passed) worked on this idea https://github.com/nmushegian/namepet ENS is still used for personal identities, and afaik still doesn't care about immutable paths.

It's an oversimplification, perhaps a proxy for wealth. Russian oligarchs hoarding London property are moving from a poor country to a rich country, but they are colonisers.

Salary requirements negate that, plus the Portuguese health system pays rock-bottom salaries itself, and is already on its knees.

Of course it doesn’t benefit the Portuguese. That’s not how Portugal is governed. It’s cynical, but that’s really how it is; learned helplessness on a national scale.

Farcaster Frames are very interesting, but the problem with the platform is the userbase.

Ethereum made the switch from PoW to PoS in 2022. It was called The Merge https://ethereum.org/roadmap/merge It’s unlikely that Bitcoin will ever do the same, for the same reason Ethereum was created separately in the

No, that must be some other country, perhaps where one of the last two leaders was actually elected.

I’ve used DeFi for as long as it’s been around and will continue to do so. It’s safer and can be more profitable than TradFi, even with stablecoin yield. It’s a larger area than you might realise, and there is a lot more to it than degen ga

Wellbeing is one thing (I know I would enjoy this a lot more than an office) but long term UV exposure is not forgiving for longevity. I could find sources, but it’s not my area; my partner is a dermatologist and I take her advice on this.

This might be fun for a while, but in the long term you're asking for an increased skin cancer risk. Sorry to be a downer.

The EU is not like the USA. We can have regional independence/self-governance and international cooperation, prosperity and peace, without needing a controlling national structure. Britain is and always has been a European island. We’l

I’m not OP, but I would argue that. There’s no realistic scenario in which leaving the single market makes Britain a more attractive place for (most) businesses.

No, it shouldn't. The majority of the deforestation happening now (e.g. in Brazil) is to raise cattle, or to produce feed such as soybeans for farmed animals; the water for almonds and avocado trees pales in comparison to these activit

It’s already dead here, and I would argue that it is not unfortunate at all. It’s also a distraction from dismantling coal power and the large car lobby here.

That's not quite fair, they funded the climate denial movement.

Humans are more closely related to frugivores than anything else (just look at our teeth and intestines). These animals die for no reason other than cultural norms.

2. I can't speak for other animals, but I can speak for myself: there's no way I would prefer to be locked up in a cage or a farm (where I will be killed and eaten, probably way before my natural lifespan) than to be free to live

I also used to have back garden hens, but in my opinion the moral argument stands up to examination. Consider: * The modern chicken is quite different to its wild ancestors, and lays eggs about 20 times more frequently (the eggs are also la

In a vegan world, wouldn't there be more wild animals? Think about how different this could look: https://xkcd.com/1338/

>This is why it is far more ethical to eat animals who have been raised in conditions that allow them to thrive happily and wholesomely. I used to think that, but it's not a defensible point of view if you examine it a little more c

It's not perfect, but it's not the end of the world. I'd prefer it if they'd stop the 'oh, but the app is 50% faster' modals; who installs apps like that these days?
