Least insane techno-optimist

They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don't care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I'd say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can't print money, that's basically self-imposed austerity.

if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There's no need to hype it up any more than it already is.

Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.

PotatoesFall ,

I'm not talking about bitcoin I'm talking about the creator of the video. And their talking points are very much libertarian.

Its a microblogging platform like mastodon and no, we don't need it in the fediverse. There's exactly one explanation for why they would want to join.

Another user commented that you can run Unbound (the technology used by pihole) on your machine.

Even easier, configure your device to use an ad block DNS resolver. Control D has free ones: https://controld.com/free-dns

the authors barely disguised fetish

Yeah this is sad. Aside from his normal MEP duties, Breyer did incredible journalistic work on the EU plans on centralizing incredible power and creating a digital hellscape in Europe. They are planning to go full CIA on us.

I thought OneDnD was basically just small changes based on 5e?

PF2e is better than 4e in my opinion, it has all the good parts but a better action system.

PotatoesFall ,

Ah I see I understand now. Yeah that is a thing, it's a rite of passage for every TTRPG content creator to make a "4e wasn't that bad" video lol

PotatoesFall ,

Alright, I'll bite. Which parts of the philosophy do you disagree on? :D

PotatoesFall ,

Before? I'm in Germany and it's still the same even though we "legalized"

PotatoesFall ,

meh I've heard mostly vegans make this dumbass argument.

I definitely support vegans but I don't support pseudoscientific bullshit no matter who says it.

PotatoesFall ,

Can we please stop posting memes in multiple similar communities? Just pick one. I hate having to go back and downvote a meme I originally upvoted :(

PotatoesFall ,

if the communities are different, sure. If its very similar communities, naw

PotatoesFall ,

On Android you can just install another keyboard if your current one doesn't have a setting for this.

If I had to guess a business case, I'd say that predictive text as a feature gives you a "legitimate reason" to send your typing data to Google or whoever to train the prediction engine, and they want that data.

Don't be evil

PotatoesFall ,

do people really think he was deaf before he became a musician? obviously not

PotatoesFall ,

Yeah at least firefox without extensions is good :P

PotatoesFall ,

What are some examples of features rhat should be native but aren't?

I use a couple extensions but nothing that I think should be in the core browser.

PotatoesFall ,

yeah okay fair

PotatoesFall ,

Okay first things first Jack Dorsey is a tool

The US government / CIA did in fact develop the protocol back in the day, with the goal of helping people in China and other countries message securely, probably with ulterior motives.

But the protocol itself is open source, and you can use it without any affiliation with the US government.

The claim " It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕‍🦺" is therefore so stupid it almost invalidates everything else being said because the person writing is either an idiot or purposely misrepresenting the facts.

Not having reproducible builds is definitely weird though. Does anybody have more information on that?

PotatoesFall OP ,

I think they got the joke, they were just joking about how this is common in math :P

PotatoesFall OP ,

In a for statement, it often refers to index

PotatoesFall ,

Usually this format says something like "google joe biden inflation rule 34 to learn more". So now I have to assume that you actually went and googled that :P

PotatoesFall ,

wasn't this a mac only editor? Or am I confused with another?
