I did a little sleuthing. Mastodon.art (11.7k users - NOT 17k users) blocked the sneak.berlin instance (1 user) because you wandered into the Admin's mentions and tagged other members of the instance to call them "rude as fuck&quo

So just to get this straight, you think that GME stock went from $3 to $300 because of productive business decisions alone?

They haven't made up a new standard. The standard already exists. The "via" is just a way of visualizing this standard. Just because the "via" UI element doesn't appear in any RFC doesn't mean it doesn&#

Yes, absolutely. Anyone that thinks that "population control" is a good idea is a eugenicist inviting genocide. You would have to be racist to suggest it without seeing it as violent and evil. There's no wiggle-room here. Y

There is virtually no difference between "population control" and genocide. Nobody tries to control their own people's reproduction, they try to control other peoples' reproduction. Nobody argues that the USA is overpo

Genocide does tend to be a bit problematic.

That's because overpopulation is a myth. Sure, there's a limit to how many humans the planet can support, but we're nowhere near that limit. The USA throws away nearly as much food as it eats. Resource availability isn&#x27

Could you elaborate on that?

Nothing quite illustrates the current state of wealth inequality like seeing this news story next to one about the eviction crisis. $6.6M pays 2021 rent for 500+ struggling people, but for the wealthy, the opportunity cost is that of vaguel

But my old keys, that hold my funds, are still traditionally encrypted, so how am I supposed to securely claim my same bitcoins on the other side of the fork?

How do you migrate the old keys to a quantum fork without allowing the exploit to still exist retroactively? I could exploit the old blockchain, then migrate my stolen keys to the quantum blockchain. Forking doesn't work here. Traditi

You're right, when I see "HODL!" I think: "This person is addicted to online gambling. 'Investing' doesn't involve screaming 'hold the line!' on web forums 15 times per day, it involves patience

If I had a Bitcoin for every time some crypto-gambler dropped this line on the Internet, I would have more than the maximum number of Bitcoins that will ever be minted. Everyone has a story about how Bitcoin could have made them a billionai

I view it more along the lines of business owners being more and more willing to take company funds to the casino.

Strong encryption turning into weak encryption is a severe problem, but it's a manageable and resolvable one also. The ease of exploiting quantum encryption-breaking might not be comparable to exploiting a public ledger of trust like

If Bitcoin doesn't destroy itself somehow, quantum computing will be the destruction of the modern blockchain. Quantum Bitcoins might be possible, but developing a quantum blockchain before traditional Bitcoin can be exploited by the

I do basically have a problem with patents altogether, but even in the current patent system, the way eInk is doing business is regressive and prevents innovation. They're far more concerned with maximizing their bottom line than actu

Just like how Facebook isn't a social media website, since MySpace Tom already "invented the concept". Do I have your logic down right? What kind of argument is this, exactly? Nazis were Fascists in an objective, demonstrab

Language is not defined by dictionaries and historians. It's defined by how people use it. If 99.9% of people disagree with you on the meaning of a word, you are wrong. You are the one incapable of communicating your ideas in a way t

You say "actual Italian fascists" as if the Nazi party wasn't "actually fascist". I would say it's pretty clear that you're the one with the poor understanding of fascism.

If only 0.1% of people agree with your definition of fascism, maybe you're the one with the incorrect definition.

Bitcoin is useful for what? Getting around the law? For pumping and dumping?

So the issue is that police will regularly and maliciously lie and nobody will ever hold them responsible for doing so.

I think it's more important to focus on is the rationality of enforcing copyright law against music captured in the background of a video. Fair use should be much more broad. So long as the video isn't produced for profit, the pr

If your serious take on this is "If you don't invest in Bitcoin, you deserve to be poor", then I honestly don't see a single reason to listen to what you think in regards to economics...

Lack of education is the #1 issue here. America's education system emphasizes nationalism and obedience. It doesn't encourage critical thinking or alternative worldviews. We're so deeply entrenched in the "American Dre
