Disagree. Even if we could, from what I understand, large, solid pieces of plastic are better than extremely small, thin, fragile pieces since those are going to turn into microplastics and get everywhere. I'd rather have them in one big chunk.

IDK why people are interpreting your question about the mechanics of everyone switching at the same time. It sounds to me like you're asking more about the bigger picture problems it would solve with society, not whether the sudden change would be able to be handled by the banks. Is that what you're looking for?
Moving to a credit union is a great idea. I did a long time ago and haven't looked back.
There are some things they don't offer, sure, but then for stuff like investments I use dedicated platforms for those which is a better experience anyway.
Clinical relevance of miRNAs as biomarkers is growing due to their stability and detection in biofluids.

I'd think any sane society, business, or institution would blacklist him / remove any certifications he has, sue him, and possibly other courses of legal action like fraud.

Ubuntu and it's spin-offs are really are as close as we're ever going to get to a full, user-friendly Linux OS
Why do you think it will not progress much from now on?
You don't need to use the terminal for Linux at all now AFAIK. Ubuntu / GNOME already has a nice software store as a UI.
There are some rough edges I really don't understand why they haven't addressed yet that seem like very low hanging fruit, but overall IMO it's very close to being there.
There are some little things / low hanging fruit that I personally find very annoying, and don't know why they haven't addressed yet. Average users coming from Mac or Windows notice these things easily and will immediately write off Linux as being janky when they run into them. Most Linux users I see are fairly apologetic about the rough edges since 1. they know how to figure out how to fix them, and 2. believe in the principles of FOSS.
Well, yeah? China is a hostile nation to us. They currently have over one million Uighurs in literal concentration camps as well.
They're the Nazi Germany of Asia, and yet people don't understand why we should stop trading with them since it will affect our sweet, sweet low prices.
A Password-protected Email is an email that requires a password to open it. It’s a way you can send a secure, end-to-end encrypted email to anyone who isn’t on Proton Mail.
No, Proton does get a free ride here. The information they provided was the recovery email address, which they were required to do by law.
The only data they don't encrypt (can see) is that which they absolutely need to store unencrypted. If they encrypt your recovery email address, then... they can't send you any recovery emails to it since they can't see it.
This is 100% the fault of the user.
All any service can do is give you the best tools available to maintain your privacy, but they can't stop you from shooting yourself in the foot.
Firefox is also great for privacy, but if I use it to fill out some info on some phishing sites then that's not a them problem.
What I am find curious about this is if a recovery email would have any weight in court. I can add whatever recovery email I want to an account. It doesn't have to be mine.

What I don't understand is why does competition matter for workers but somehow not for CEOs? I kind of understand and agree in the free market to an extent - if you're fine with hiring a dev for $100 instead of another dev for $1000, and you're okay with the difference in quality / time / etc. then go for it. But where is all this competition happening for CEOs?
Surely someone must be as qualified as Bitchai and willing to do the same job for a measly 100 million a year instead of his 200 million.
What I'm perplexed at is - what if I went to the board and said "I have a guaranteed way to increase profit by 150 million - just pay me 50 million a year and fire Bitchai". I would legit do my best to make great decisions for 50 million.
Why doesn't the board care about cutting costs by cutting CEO pay? I can't imagine any difference that would really justify Bitchai 's pay difference.
I also cannot imagine they are all part of some secret conspiracy where they all know each other and like each other so much that they just want to pay him that money because they're buddies.
Wouldn't $150 million be more than enough justification to hire someone else?
Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something....
You friend is insane and making the problem worse. Tell them to stop.
Even in the US, where tipping has been out of control for a long time, nobody in their right mind tips for takeout. The employee literally didn't do a damn thing other than a couple seconds of handing you a box and possibly cashing you out.

Same idea as Lemmy except for chat. Basically Reddit is to Lemmy as Slack / Discord is to Matrix. One minor detail is Matrix is actually the protocol, so it's more like ActivityPub (which is Lemmy's protocol), and there are specific apps for Matrix which use that protocol.
