And people flock to vsCode and other offerings from MS like IE never happened. People really need long term memory...
Just like sql abstractions. A dead end, useless, unnecessary.
Yeah people believe all kinds of things. Look how bad Google is, and how good is DDG compared to the big evil. A few years later: well, DDG also has evil traits. Now go, abandon ship and use Brave search. People still don't know jacksh*t at all about Brave, who they are, who they work for, what are their intentions. And this continues ad infinitum. Just follow some authetic looking figure's recommendations like a monkey.
GDPR: At least you have the means to hold a company accountable in the EU, without spending a shitton of money on lawyers. In the US it's like the wild west. Steal as much data as possible, without any repercussions whatsoever. Neutered congress and other amusing institutions add to the mix.
Oh, they don't even want to create/release a usable image search... Respect, of course.
Go on. Nonsense? Open your eyes, wide. And witness what is happening...
They pretend to be brain dead, that's all. Look, we are brain dead, go topple us.
Btw. Imagine that your body turns off "feedback sensors" in your hand and you start to grab a glowing iron ingot and notice that your fingers and hand starts to turn into charcoal but you don't feel a thing. You do this repeatedly until you notice that your hand fell off and now can't lift the glass to drink water. How nice, how beautiful this don't criticise bullshit mantra is.
Go s* up even more to big tech, what could go wrong...
Well, fiat money has no backing whatsoever. A while ago the USD was backed by gold, nowadays it is backed by faith, just like any other fiat currency.
Let this sink in: crypto is money that is backed by energy. Finally a money that is backed by some tangible thing. The systems providing it might be suboptimal, but the basic premise, that this is finally backed by a universally accepted thing, energy, is absolutely perfect.
Just like coal is concentrated sunlight, crypto money is concentrated energy.
Thassal.
