You don't need to write a paper or even provide links.

If you actually had a legitimate arguement (and weren't just parroting copytext that you don't really understand beyond "I think it makes me look cool and independent"), you would have been able to summarize it in a few sentences in your own words.

This is not rocket science.

And if you're incapable of presenting your message even with a modicum of nuance, and you're forced to revert to comical parroting of what is essentially political spam, then what you're saying is almost certainly complete BS.

Try and promote what you're saying in a nuanced way. You won't be able to. We both know this!

Prove me wrong! ;)

So what that you're a leftist?

You were taking about "educating me" and the best you can come up with is a standard copytext that's spammed everywhere?

At least come up with something new and interesting not the standard word salad about the Federal Reserve.

Did you really think I haven't heard of this copytext? It's pretty standard spam, no?

This is not a real thing, it's more about acting out and tantrums. You don't care or understand about the issues you describe.

With the right oligarch propaganda, you can be trained to claim that spicy mayonnaise is limiting freedumz and shiiiit!!!!

I don't know if you know this, but in many places obsession over central banks is simply not a thing. Maybe you need some real problems in your life? It would help you gain perspective.

And btw, the World Bank isn't actually a world bank in the literal sense of the word.

Nice rant. A very provincial take I must I add.

Brave has investments from A16Z, a VC fund that has been involved in multiple pump and dumps and shoes founders are fundamentally opposed to democracy and human rights.

First sign of crypto and I am out. I would speculate that is true of a lot of people in the Fediverse.

From my perspective, there are only two use cases for crypto 1. Criminal activity 2. Pump and dumps

Something along the lines of a monthly donation model, perhaps with a nominal "pro" system. A badge to showing that you donate and how many years you've been donating (users can disable display of such badges if they want).

I could see XMR being less manipulated on a relative basis, but all of crypto is far far more manipulated than any fiat (even of small country of say 3 million people). Because real currency reflect real economic activity that spans a broad range of use cases.

Yeah, I don't believe in edgelord type stuff. You do want the government to be able to freeze the money of criminals and malicious oligarchs.

You don't need Monero (or crypto) to solve the databroker issue. It's a matter of expectations,vstandards and law enforcement. And you know that Monero won't solve the data collection issue. The products you purchase aren't on a blockchain platform and they interact with the real world, therefore you can make a dataset for tracking of them.

Don't look at people's profiles.

Don't see why I need this to buy groceries. Shilling bags as I said originally.

I don't believe in [1], crypto market are heavily manipulated.

[2] and [3] are not desirable in my view. Don't forget, not everyone lives in the US and many people have experience and perspectives that likely you haven't though of.

Apple offered ADP in China right? Padme_anakin.webp

Shilling your bags as usual. Crypto-scammers are all so predictable.

Why in god's name do you need monero to buy groceries or even computer parts?

They likely prefer a hands off approach to marketplace content and that won't really work with a smartphone app store (even with a gaming only focus).

I wouldn't say Android 4, but it does have a really strange and distracting style.

I am just curious, what were you using the floppies for? Configuration of some older piece of hardware? Retro gaming? Older backups?

Cool guide!

This is largely just an interesting piece of trivia, but also somewhat notable because servers generally don’t federate content from before they were founded. So the older servers will have local copies of posts and comments from the early days of Lemmy.

This seems like a somewhat sane default, but it would be good if instances had the options to get all of the older historical posts as well. I don't think it would make a big difference for say LW.

FWIW, I did not have a single book with DRM issues. That being said, I don't have too many "hot bestsellers" or something similar.

Get them out of Amazon:
