Maybe if you didn't colonize the land of brown people you would see no parallelism between the two. Hypocrites.

The mental gymnastic to be a Black person and imploring other judges to remove voting right from Blacks must be crazy.

Thank you for your informative reply :)

They are able to regulate the interest rate. We don't perceive a change of value of our fiat on a regular basis. What yesterday was $1, today is $1.0000001. Good luck maintaining the same purchasing power with Bitcoin (in terms of stability)

Cryptocurrencies don't rely on a central entity and is the Lemmy equivalent to Reddit compared to the fiat currency. I like it and I like the technology but

• Good luck at having a proper stable economy using only crypto. Cryptobros hate central banks but their policies ensure that a loaf of bread doesn't cost 3 times as much the next day. I'd rather have a central trusted authority than not having one
• Bitcoin by itself sucks. It was the first crypto so it's the most common but it's slow, heavy and costly to operate and to transact on

But without federation questions and answers reside only on one server

May I ask you how? Or if you have more info? No criticism here, honest question. Afaik the only way to do that would be to fingerprint a behavioural pattern, which albeit possible is surely more secure than cell communication.

But we're talking about a protest where bad actors (the police) just want the names of its attendants. Our phones scream to everyone "I am [name surname] and I am here!". Bluetooth instead says the same but with a lower tone of voice, so less people can listen. Also, with little configuration you can instruct it not to broadcast its identifier.

What is unsafe about cell communication is that there is virtually no way to prevent being tracked. Bluetooth is not necessarily more secure but has several advantages:

1. Its Mac address can be easily changed. With a fake Mac address it's more difficult to track someone down, albeit it needs some "technical skills" (going in the developer settings)
2. With these apps communication is encrypted by default unlike cell tower communication
3. The range is limited. If police listens over Bluetooth they'll be able to track less people down

At protests you should not bring your smartphone but instead rely on anonymous drvices such as Meshtastic.

If you want to bring your smartphone to a protest, set Airplane mode and communicate with others through Bluetooth or WiFi networks using Briar or Bitchat

Sleepless nights for whom? My employer? Ahahah

My girlfriend lives in a rural area. When we go groceries we consider it an outdoor activity. It's like 4km away from her house

Left wingers aren't gonna buy a Tesla. Right wingers aren't gonna buy a Tesla. Eat shit elon.

Never thought of that, cool!

Profit = (sell price - buy price)/buy price

If buy price is zero, the division is undefined or the profit is "infinite" because you spent nothing to acquire the asset.

Having a profit of 100% would mean just selling at double the buy price, but nothing stops you at selling at 3x or 4x, having a profit of 200% or 300%.

To give a better example, try with lower and lower "buy price" (approaching zero). You'll see that the profit goes unlimitedly up

I may be wrong, no attacks intended (better to specify lol)

Actually 🤓☝️ it's more like ∞% profit or undetermined

Lovely idea!

This comment made me cry. Imagine being a little snail with your little snail best friends getting excited for some lettuce. I can't handle that.

No need to be so sassy c'mon
