It's okay that it's unconvincing to you, but I think about dissidents and other "malicious" actors. Apart from that, with a decentralised system it's way more complicated for others (!) to fuck up and lock your bank

Yes, it's different, because for a drug lord not being able to access some amount of dirty cash is very inconvenient, while for the average person on the flag of a regime, it may be an end

It would be a low price if it would reach the goal. I am pretty sure they won't though.

It is until you're on a list, for whatever reason. When states and countries can just block your access to your bank accounts, because you're on the other side of interests, it gets...Interesting With a decentralised approach, suc

The moment I learned that people want to buy crypto as a means to get rich in (evil ;)) fiat money, I knew I had a ponzi scheme in front of me. The interesting idea behind crypto once was to have a totally different system. Yet in reality,

"Decentralized" is the keyword. It's not solved by real world implementations of any major blockchain.

Well, the story was basically Pocahontas on an alien planet. There wasn't anything original to the plot, so... Technically it was good, but I only watched it once, I see films, just like I read books: for the story

Hm, my Kindle is in Airplane mode since I bought it 7 years ago. So this should work wonderfully

In the end, we are just sentient apes on a space rock. We won't pass the great filter.

We could always have done better, but the nice thing is, that most of the time, we can. Will it take time and energy? Sure! Such is life. At least it's not as bad as e.g. JavaScript.

I don't have accounts on any of these platforms. But when I follow people (where possible, e.g. twitter) I only follow people that are interesting or have a completely different worldview than me. I don't want to live in a bubble

"The major ingredient for any recipe of fear, is the unknown." (Taken from Threatened by Michael Jackson) That's one core component of fascism, fear. Of course it's not exclusive to fascism, but it's a very strong m

Well, it's a relatively new label for ancient techniques. Same shit, new package, so to speak.

I have a problem with Israel and its politics, not with Jews or any other religion. Does that make me an antisemit? Because then the term has been redefined and I'll gladly wear it

Oh wow, that sounds extremely awful. My bank kept spamming me multiple times... I didn't know the number and was working on another project. Later I checked and blocked the number. Happened a few times, now they seem to have given up.

Difference is that this is not the default and people looking for (neo)vim will not find it, unless by chance. Defaults matter

I think Helix does a lot right on the "initial configuration" front. It comes with LSP and treesitter configured out of the box. Neovim on the other hand is heavily customizable, but you also have to do this for awesome functional

I wouldn't say so. The basics are very simple. You just get used to formulate a (weird) sentence of what you want to do in your head, abbreviate it and then learn (or configure) the buttons.

True, it was like half a day of extensive coding for the basics, a bit of cursing, then about two weeks of settling in and then a few hours over a couple of months, when I did heavy extension and configuration. Bonus: my window manager has

When I read posts like yours, I wish unsafe had a different name like "human invariant" or whatever. Something that would make it harder to water down the meaning of the clearly defined unsafe keyword to suddenly mean something el

Worry not, we are the good guys (TM), so only bad guys have to worry! Nevermind that in a few years Nazis could use that system for something else entirely... As an European by heart, I wish Europe would stop with such nonsense and grow som

I don't usually surf on pages that are known for such stuff. And when I do, I fake a lot of my data :) Apart from that, it is not only about privacy for me.

Stuff like that is the reason I have disabled JS by default. Access to client side scripts on my machine has to be earned in trust. Most websites never get that far, because they are broken without js. Doesn't matter, saves me a lot of

Lol, my desktop feels a lot faster too, but that's due to a minimal setup with swaywm and not a lot of electron nonsense. Going through dozens upon dozens of layers (ever increasing) just to draw a rectangular box with some text inside
