  • To all the people here ranting about monetary debt: its not an issue. Money isn't designed to hold value in the long term. It's a feature, not a bug.

    It's just really unfortunate for those who play the game as if money were an asset. It's meant for transactions, not for storage.

  • Yes, but most people using the term don't know their defitition, so knowing the correct definition is of limited usefulness.

    Ponzi is for Investments that offer high returns, by marking the principal as gains. Pyramid schemes sell stuff, through a pyramid of salesmen. Each one earns a percentage of the revenue of his underlings and is encouraged to recruit more underlings.

  • Capitalism is nothing but allowing freedom and allowing property (in contrast to posession)

  • Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Operating nodes is expensive, offers no reward, and comes with a serious legal risk.

    This won't stop the NSA from operating a few. I assume that a significant portion of Tor nodes is run by intelligence agencies. If they control all nodes used for a connection(i believe three are used), they can probably piece together what connections a user is having.

  • I'm under the impression that my use will only make it slower for people who really need it.

  • Can Lemmy even protect itself against spam while being open?

  • I guess spez won't do another one

  • This reminds me that they finance the Tor project (onion browser).

  • I must say, his mastadon competitor made it relatively easy to filter away all content containing his name!

  • Lots of people say that we shouldn't be ignoring troublesome topics. I disagree.

    Exposure and anger won't fix anything. It'll only degrade our quality of Life. It's just like reading about plane crashes won't get us anywhere ( unless it's part of your job)

  • Environmental protection is collectivist. It's what is best for everyone. (Including future generations).

    But abortion is a good exception.

  • I like your thinking.

    I think unwanted children are the worst. lets put aside that the family won't be happy. It's these children that will cause trouble, populate prisons. They'll be an absolute drag on society. It's not even they're fault. Growing up without love is tough

  • I'm European. Do you think the American teens getting pregnant are actually surprised? That just seems inconceivable (pun not intended) to me.

  • Nah, it's a fairly good way to differentiate between collectivist and individualistic ideas.

  • Since mobile gaming has died for me anyway, i have no reason to browse the store. For what I use it for, it's fine. It has the apps i need and updates them.

  • Is coordinating a r/place project brigading? R/place is designed in a way so that in the end every Pixel will be controlled by an orchestrated effort.

  • If it's a bad decision, the fediverse will move on without fragile instances like beehaw. If it's a good decision, beehaw will be even better from now on.

    Just wait and see. The invisible hand of the free market will set things right!
