So what you're saying is we go after the banking system next.

Decentralized banking is the future!

INB4 someone mentions some edge case like 'grandma got scammed' or refunds.

As a male who has been on both ends of the spectrum (morbidly obese) and 'fit' / bodybuilder I find the whole discussion about size, clothing, weight, vanity, etc incredibly boring.

Buy whatever clothes you're comfortable in and take steps to not be obese, and uninstall social media while you're at it. It really is that simple.

I wish there was more people like you and me.

Privacy is not a crime.

I'm not a huge fan of the unsolicited spam/letters/coupons/etc I get in my mail box from businesses and there's no way for me to opt out.

I personally use jellyfin and supply the media myself, though there are much better ways to do it.

I have a controversial question; In the UK, they have blade runners who take down CCTV. I would have expected a more aggressive response in the USA, considering the culture. Is this not happening?

Unpopular opinion, but I don't think banks should be able to loan out money that's not theirs, and printing money is bad.

Gold good, paper bad. But also, gold bad, because clipping.

If only there was a solution.

I thought demonoid was dead dead?

My government doesn't seem to be listening to me, did you have yours professionally trained or something?

Correct I often setup SPF/etc with the domain, no IP

When I was a teenager I played World of Warcraft for 5 years. During that time we did "raids" where 40 people have to pay attention and communicate, sometimes for longer than 8 hours, with people from around the globe.

If teenagers can do it, adults can do it. Period. And if they can't, skill issue I guess.

Comparing copying data to battery/assault is wild

I trust matrix over signal. signal has a shitcoin and the new ceo is sketch.

GoDaddy is awful, why would anyone move TO them?

misleading title. It should be "Outlook ON MOBILE....."

This is actually a good thing, it'll help with adoption.

Yo ho yo ho...

I believe that people deserve the right / ability to spend their money as they see fit regardless of transaction size, anonymously.

Why does the bank / government need to know were/how I'm spending my money?

I'm already taxed when I'm paid every month, I pay my property taxes. This is not about tax evasion or money laundering for me.

bitcoin solves this.

In an age of the modern computer and internet, cash has to evolve. People deserve the right to privacy with their money.

I know a lot of people are anti BTC, even here on HN, and I get where people are coming from, but do you not also think that people deserve privacy?

"Only criminals use it"

I use/trade BTC all the time for legit reasons because most people I know also have BTC. I firmly and will always believe in peoples right to privacy.

INB4 "BTC is not private"

If used correctly, it is. SO rather than just stomp on BTC, why not help the cause?

I must have misunderstood the GME situation then. To me it seemed like a situation where average Americans could have made profit, but were stopped by people with bigger bags. I tried to sell my shares (for a very nice profit) but I was stopped from doing so, so yeah I feel cheated.

Thanks for bringing up the incorrect label, I can't think of a better one at the moment but I guess I included lawmakers with the label since they may have access to information we don't, so from my perspective it may as well be insider trading, but you're right about the label.

Fair point, but I don't think 'crypto' or blockchains should be regulated at all so I didn't think it was necessary to include the entire phrase. Thank you for pointing out the flaw in my reply.

> "highly regulated"

In favor of whom? Because I don't think it's in favor of the average American. IMHO, highly regulated would mean that 1. stock exchanges can't halt trading (eg robinhood) 2. People in positions of power (eg Nancy Pelosi) wouldn't be able to make any money from the stock market.

Obviously, coinbase can stop trading on their platform, but I don't have to use them or even need an exchange to trade on. The only insider trading on BTC would be lawmakers or a whale attempting to alter the price.

bro this is an ad - go away

Not sure what kind of company you work for, but where I work, I am the approval process, so I mostly do whatever I want, as long as it doesn't compromise my network. I would assume that "can I install X?" also means "X + it's dependencies"
