0x0 , to Technology in What's Happened Since Time Dropped Its Paywall 1 Year Ago

If I can’t buy groceries, pay rent or medical bills with it, it’s in not a real currency. If I can’t bail myself out with it, it’s not a real currency.

So any other fiat currency not your own is not real?

But sure, somehow paying money to get faux money that can’t really practically pay for my needs, and then needs to be reconverted to real currency to take care of my needs is somehow not a scam.

If you do end up with "real" money, where's the scam?

Also, I’m sure you’re super cool with the insane non-renewable energy cost of bitcoin mining and distribution. It far outweighs the energy cost of AI that everyone is complaining about.

Got evidence to support that? Not all cryptocurrencies rely solely on mining.

FYI i'm not defending cryptocurrencies, most do seem scammy, i'm just poking fun at dealing in absolutes and talking out of one's ass.

0x0 , to Technology in China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report

The vast majority of projects on GitHub is open-source and forkable, why would that need authorization?

It's... suspicious that China's doing it en masse, but there's nothing wrong in cloning or forking a repo last i heard.

The human mind is a curious mind.

If that skin is just copy/pasted without nourishment it'll rotten away, decaying in a sea of pus and putrid, gangrenic tissue, festering away as maggots feast on it.

So if these scientists are half-serious about their grants then they should consider a way to feed the skin.
