I guess hydro/geo is better than them firing up a coal fired power station to do the job. But all the "mining" nonsense just sucks up clean power than could be used in the real world which hopefully pushes out more polluting

Full circle to closed Cloud SaaS offerings where everyone is at the mercy of a corporation. Reddit has built the corporate version of Newsgroups already.

It's plain old double standards, Tornado Cash is the "peoples" money laundering service, anyone can use it, so it could be of benefit to them at some point. Global banks that could facilitate the same thing would only conside

No, that would be the chief purpose of reddit.com. Try posting CP to r/furries and see how long that sub, (or reddit itself if they ignore it) stays online. Tornado Cash ignored the warnings. Enabling money laundering and providing a m

> So they are categorically different: one side is pro-free-speech, and the other side is pro-censorship. The "free speech" angle is an obvious smoke screen for bullying. Their "doxing" is in typical bully style, a wh

Someone defines what gets removed. Ideally in a democracy "society" as a whole decides what that is. The obvious example is child exploitation, are pedophiles rights to swap images of kids currently being "censored as speech

This is just civilized society finally catching up with criminals on the internet, the internet as a tolerant forum for information exchange and discussion was lost as soon as serious money got involved. Hopefully more of them are taken off

McDonalds is like savoury confectionery to me. It's pretty hard to get chocolate or cookies wrong but certainly possible. McDonalds doesn't get it wrong though, they have a fun selection of savoury concoctions that taste good. It

No, not it's not. Being able to use Tornado Cash is not a human right. You are the type of person that harms the fight to enforce the core rights described by something like the ECHR by calling any action you don't like by a gover

Privacy of communication is fine. Anonymously sending funds globally is different, the criminal uses vastly outweigh any legitimate use. If privacy is really needed use cash, the difficulty of having to move large quantities of cash around

Ive always found automatics difficult to drive in the city, where they are suppose to make things easier. They just don't have the level of control i can get from a manual for quick acceleration to get out of side roads into traffic. E

When you can't afford to have children due to low pay, sperm count is out of the equation. What doesn't make sense to me is the people that are concerned about society "changing", the native population not having enough

I would guess it is because GrapheneOS does not pass the Google "SafteyNet" check. The Android distros that are more well known do not pass by default due to Google coming after them if they do. LineageOS has not passed it for the

Unfortunately the anti-semite line was easy to make stick because of his well known vocal opposition to the Israeli oppression of Palestinians. So not an incredible feat, but it was a case of corporate interests and the Tory party pushing t

VNC is not too bad now with internet connection speeds increasing. It is usable for development, but not for video/graphics in the way RDP can. I've found the SPICE protocol using the QXL driver with some compression settings twea

Being able to anonymously transfer unrestricted amounts of money around the globe simply enables tax evasion and money laundering making crime easier to profit from. People who want to see a functioning society and pay their taxes get screw

Everyone is free to use cash if they want to make a transaction that isn't "permanently" recorded in a distributed digital database. I hear the US government actually supports this method.

US law obviously works in favor of billionaires. I doubt even Musk would want to expose it further, and the other parties involved in this deal surely don't. They will set their lawyers at it and come to a settlement. The super rich kn

You have to be careful about referendums too, especially when the government organizing them disenfranchises a group of citizens that are very likely to vote a certain way (UK migrants in the EU). People didn't vote to remain in the E

I'm sure certain people get "warnings" in China due to their privileged position. Living as a foreigner with the right passport and social status puts you in that position. The average citizen has to be much more careful and
