If 99% of users stuck their fork in their eyeball, it wouldn't mean that a Fork is a bad design or a bad implement, it would mean that the users are using it wrong. FWIW, in my own usage of crypto, the lack of central authority is exac

Don't feel it's really valid to calculate this by nation state. The system here is the entire planet, not individual nations.

You can't improve because you're burned out. You're burned out because you're working insanely hard. You need to find a way to get out of your current job. Clearly, if your job relies on you so much, you're not inco

IRC as in the 1988 chat protocol, sure. IRC as a concept has never been healthier. Lots of alternatives, most proprietary, some libre, and more users than ever.

Tell me where the damage is. Show who has been hurt by seeing a penis, how they were hurt, and how that impacted them. This is puritanical shit. Seeing a penis will not hurt you.

Made a bunch of lifelong friends at high school, and at University my social life dropped off a cliff - because I was responsible for making it happen, mostly. I'm lucky to have the quantity and quality of friends I do have though.
