Having the text here instead of linking to an appallingly bad website should always have been the norm. But nooo, we had to wait for Elon Musk to buy the thing.

Yours must be the most redundant comment on HN ever.

Mine isn't redundant, note. Just because he keeps saying, doesn't mean he's posting about it on HN, and if he does doesn't mean he's doing so verbatim, which I showed.

I wish I could buy shares in this company.

However, what makes them great and unique is that they're ideologically motivated, so of course they're not selling shares.

Mullvad, please.

nordvpn has been acquired by some private equity that's acquiring all the vpns.

So what was your original argument against this?

Re:The Shit Show on Sunday January 15, 2023 @05:34PM (#34394360)
I'm defending the right to own property, which is something really fundamental to the way we organize our society.

... and when you say "the people that were hurt"... If you leave your wallet on the street, it might be stolen and you might be hurt. I'm not blaming the victim; someone stealing your wallet is wrong even though you left it on the street. It's not your fault, I'm not blaming you, I blame the thief for the theft. On the other hand there's something that you could've done that would've avoided it - don't leave your wallet on the street.

Re:The Shit Show on Sunday January 15, 2023 @05:31PM (#34394327)
It's mine because the law says so.

I think Elon Musk is a horrible person, but... this one is on you, right? You thought that a company's service was your social backyard? That's on you.

Alright then.

I didn't know what it was, so I didn't know it was only for macos and windows. If instead of being sarcastic he had just answered my question, I wouldn't have said something irrelevant.

Don't play dumb, you're wasting everyone's time.

> I am not saying you should not hold them accountable

You did imply exactly that.

> Do we make them pay a huge fine and climate change is averted? This seems pure distraction to me.

If holding them accountable is a distraction, that implies we shouldn't be doing it.

So yeah, you did kind of say it.

I don't really care about fines. I think the people in charge at that time should be investigated, their internal communication, coordination, and fraud should be exposed, and then they should be put in jail for fraud, if they're still alive. You call this a distraction. I call it making a point.

Re: on Friday January 13, 2023 @10:28AM (#34369051)
It sounds like you like easy problems and don't like hard problems.
Holding someone accountable as per the law seems like a distraction to you? Ok, I guess you don't agree with one of the fundamental organizing principles of our society then. Lets just agree to disagree and you can go live in a cave.
This.

I'm sorry you're "confused". Some times I get confused with morals and legals don't align, but that's not even the case here.

You're wildly overestimating how much it costs to buy a congressman.
You just showed you don't know anything about finance.
> skeptical of yield products

Yield products aren't the problem, they're a symptom.

The problem is wanting to buy something that has no value and hoping to sell it to someone else who in turn is also hoping to sell it to someone else even higher.

Bitcoin, NFT, yield products, etc, they're all manifestations of the same thing.

Just fake it till you make it guys /s

In my view Japan at least is undoubtedly a western nation, at least when it comes to the strength and values of their institutions.

I remember there was an ascii-only browser called Lynx (I think?). What happened to that?
