As someone working with African companies (legitimate businesses, mid-sized transactions), the key use case is payments in stablecoins—their banking infrastructure doesn’t allow for reliable and consistent foreign remittances. These deals would be practically impossible without stablecoins.

(And to be clear, I’m someone who has never been particularly enthusiastic about crypto or blockchain.)

Right, as the most communication is not used for illegal activities...

It kinda gets me into the stance: every member of EU parliament and EU commission should make their bank accounts fully transparent so populi can check whether they are committing some act of corruption.

Not really, in Europe you have unlimited sms’ from like forever. Think people went to different platforms because communication was less clumsy and it was easier to do it also with Android friends. So all in one

Growth hackers are eating a good software

so 95% people in 3rd world countries are corrupted?

Hello world from the first world

So guess that if you want extensions you need to go through Google machinery.. and your back to their telemetry empire?

2FA is risky for me as I travel internationally a lot and non-working number can be a real hassle (it happened already, I was locked out of services because of that). Verificators can be also tricky if you loose phone...

Honestly, having 2 accounts on PM should not be an issue (they prohibit mass creation of free accounts, but a bit unclear where is the line)

So good ole email makes the most sense.

Thanks, PM replied with some demands, so let me see..

But it sucks, yeah.

Tomaz, we know each other well and i am know how much effort you gave into this.. super glad you open sourced this hope community will find it as valuable as we did.

You mean stable currency that is supported by 24$ trillion of national debt?

Thanks for this clarification. I use Brave less because I am actually afraid to install extensions, because addition phoning to Google. Or how does Brave handle that?

Unrelated to article. But in many countries in Europe, even if you live in cities, its fairly easy to find fresh milk from farmers. From there on butter is easy to make by yourself.

Man, I’d really love to see Matrix to become a standard. I’d love to use it as a major goto chat/communication tool but i get frustrated with UX. Pls pls, don’t screw it.

Logged in to HN just give you kudos

Not really. Ever heard Monero or Zcash fe?

Earlier this year my company pitched anonymization solution for smart TV and smart home appliances to LG and Samsung representatives in Korea.

Their reaction to a proposal was, to put it kindly, terrifying and highly defensive. They said they are doing nothing wrong, no data has been leaked snd that there is no future for our solution, sensing huge discomfort.

Quite evident they have zero interest to gamble status quo on current situation.

Here's my case. I have problems trusting any centralised cloud service out there that is significant for my privacy. I have problems with Pocket, because it knows what I read.

If data would be stored on the decentralized nodes and accessible over the smart contracts, my zen would be way closer.

Pretty bold claim about !%.

Do you by any chance have any refs or links at hand explaining the topic more into depth. There are quite a lot on Tor www but covering more common use.

While I agree with your point and distributed App Stores sound like a proper way for users to be independent from various risks. But what makes me paranoid is that decentralised stores would be another source of malware, where even Google as a central entity fails miserably.

It's pretty fun. I put FF in a high privacy mode, now Pocket login doesn't work anymore ;)

Right. But this is just some news post and a claim but nothing that would say they are biased or even a tool in hands of somebody.

Any proof for that claim?

I am pretty sure that good ole Zbig is more of a part of the problem than the solution ;)

There is a huge gap between the real and financial sector regarding the value added that goes from 70tis on.

Ok, this article covers annoyance problem of push notifications. What about from the privacy point? Does the app provider know more about you have them turned on.

What does that mean for "normal" user? Say, one that buys some things online and cares a bit about investment?

Ditto.. but my subjective feeling is that it's getting laggier there also. I mean, it was kinda lightweight back in the days but it's getting less and less responsive.

I am too lazy to check the details, but this info goes directly opposite to Bezos overtaking Gates as the richest dude on the world.

I was never a heavy Twitter user and I am more of a listener than active bird. But I wouldn't like this service to go away. Posting, access to all the posts and it's simplicity makes me feel that it's really a tool in hands of freedom of information and that it serves to the people (i know it's public company, but I can dream a bit).
