Remind me why we dropped Paul Le Roux as Satoshi. I thought it fit rather well: he had the motivation, the knowledge and the disappearance of Satoshi also fit.

While building a road across the Darien Gap is very tricky, if there would be a will, a tunnel across the Gulf Of Darien could solve the problem easily. It's not an engineering problem really merely an economical one: the cost of such

and I dunno what to tell you, it's insanity that any Mac laptop is considered cheap in any way or form when you are not even running anything locally. It's reckless excess ? dunno how to say this.

After Wikipedia has been caught to be influenced by the Polish, Hungarian and Croatian far right -- and you bet there are more -- I would be very slow to trust a summary of that manifest from it. It's one of those topics where a litt

To elaborate a little, this thinkpiece will likely influence way more people than it should therefore understanding how it covertly spreads fascist ideas is important. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

I am happy to repeat myself: "should give you a new angle to investigate this bullshit from". That's not "ignore this".

Once again: I have called for investigating the influence of fascist ideas on this manifesto because the manifesto itself names one of the architects of it a saint. It doesn't matter at all who wrote this, we are only looking at the ma

The Patron Saints section is where the truth is laid bare because it contains Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. He was quite in the business of writing Manifestos. Check which one he co-authored in 1919.

What an odd statement. "Meant to be" ? I often have fun at work, cracking a hard bug for me is fun and yet I would never go in if I weren't paid. And my employer thinks I provide value for them and pays for this indeed.

Do you have suggestions for ~2TB at a sane price? For example, https://www.hosting.de/nextcloud/managed-nextcloud/ you can see 2TB costs 2.5x of a 1TB plan.
