Using crypto is a good thing in my eyes, but you seem to be convinced that crypto is all evil and a scam.
We've seen in recent years that fiat payment systems are ran by bad actors, that will on a whim revoke access to their systems to any entity they deem "problematic", even if no laws have been broken.
Crypto allows entities to freely exchange money without having to worry about passing some arbitrary purity test or getting witch-hunted into oblivion.
Sounds like Russia's on the winning side of this war.
Suppression of wrong-think, nothing new when it comes to GoFundMe.
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue is a London-based think tank concerned with extremism.Labeling everyone who disagrees with you an extremist is certainly one strategy...
Seems like pouring fuel on fire.
What is causing this so called death spiral is in part mass, uncontrolled immigration by immigrants who often refuse to learn the local language and participate in the country's culture. Driving up the cultural divide and putting a heavy pressure on an already stressed social system.
Well, at least there is one country willing to take this seriously.
I don't know if there are any updates on this specifically but, "decentralized internet standard, like SMTP" sounds an awful lot like ActivityPub.
Good for them I guess, but after the whole French activist debacle, I've gotten the heebee-jeebees regarding ProtonAnything.
Truly one of the greatest, sad to see how things have changed.
Back then you got a great game and the devs just gave you all the tools to mod it how ever you wanted. It even managed its own mods to some extent, auto-downloading everything you needed when joining a server.
Today it's all about rootkit anti-cheats and controlling the game and everything surrounding it with an iron fist, as to best monetize every little aspect of the game. No mods, no custom maps, no nothing, because everything has to be catered to give the players "the best experience".
Surprise surprise, BBC takes a grand topic like Terry A. Davis and TempleOS and devolves it into a discussion about him saying racist things.
Hard to say without more details (currency and or location). What I would do is check with acquaintances (former colleagues, friends from uni, etc) what they are paid, assuming they have similar professional experiences.
But it also sounds like you live in some overpriced hellhole, assuming you're paid at least a half way fair wage.
Do you really need to live where you do? Check living costs of less central locations.
Sorry, maybe my first comment was formulated poorly. My comment was mainly targeted at the BBC, that they where being misleading with their title.
Really misleading title, as the first line in the article says, this isn't a ban from sports, but from biological males who have transitioned (in one form or another) from participating in female sports at
public schools.
Florida has become the latest US state this year to ban transgender girls and women from participating in female sports at public schools.
Startups are having their great reckoning.
No longer can they just come up with fancy catch lines, and get bought by a billion dollar company.
Now they actually have to provide something unique, something useful, something worthy of them actually being acquired.
Like when he called that Brit a pedo?
The stocks will recover within days, because virtue or not, Elon is profitable, and it will be like nothing ever happened.
That's my point.
Elon, the billionaire, the head of Tesla, the head of SpaceX, acts like a normal human, he takes a drag of "the unmentionable that the left wanted to legalize for decades, and now it finally is legal in certain states, didn't want 'him' to partake" because he's not a communist, and also he enjoyed some liquor, like most adults do on a daily basis.
A certain subsection of people have their world collapsing around them, and all they can do is try to shift blame.
"He smoked weed, in a state where it is legal, we totally didn't want him to do so, because he's rich, unlike the rest of us "Mary Jane" lovers"
How ever will we cope.
I mean, it's almost like Elon is a simple human like the rest of us.
Only he's worth billions, and I'm barely worth more than my 2001 Toyota Yaris.
We should just go back to 4:3 monitors, because according to "modern" web design, utilizing horizontal screen space is tantamount to devil worship.
Not as all-encompassing as all those tools, but all I've ever needed is, dotPeek + de4dot.
My web browser, my rules, if this triggers you, fuck right the fuck off.
Bing or DDG, at this point you can't go wrong, as long as it isn't google.
