Completely agree with this analysis.

Especially on the GDF aspect which is definitely true and impacting both SMBs and big Corps.

When the majority of the GDP is generated by public expenditures, you need to extort money. Which is pretty bad but that’s standard practice.

Yes. This is their public roadmap.

The CBDC, the “Digital Euro”, will be nail in the coffin.

In Italy they’re pretty advanced with the Digital ID, for example.

This is a general approach applied also to the population.

In Europe there is a particular concept of freedom.

This Chat Control 2.0 nonsense has to be killed off once for all.

I stopped reading at this point:

> It’s why the world wasted $10B+ on self driving car companies that obviously made no sense. There’s a much bigger market for truths that pump bags vs truths that don’t.

This reeks of bias-dismissing massive investments as ‘obvious’ nonsense while hyping its own tinygrad as the ‘truth’ in AI coding.

Author is allowed to claim ‘most people do not care to find the truth’ but it’s hypocritical when the post ignores counterpoints, like PyTorch’s dominance in efficient coding benchmarks.

Author doesn’t seem to care about finding the full truth either, just the version that pumps its bag.

Maybe it solves one problem, but it has many other: https://coinpaper.com/10812/qubic-vs-monero-pr-stunt-or-proo...

Also, always remember native coinjoin.

Freedom on choice, my friend.

Countries that decide what’s good and what’s bad for its people, they usually tend to tyranny in the end.

I could make some recent examples.

I’m not convinced this would apply to OpSec people who are physically unable to move any limbs. Pro and cons of course, but..

Is the “nazi salute”, still a thing? It seems like accusations involving it are increasingly used as a tool to delegitimize, because cmon.. you can’t agree with him, but that wasn’t a nazi salute.

Dear downvoter, please tell me what you didn’t like about my comment because I cannot make any sense of it.

> That’s a no go for me, because I love Apple’s Mail app on macOS and iOS, it just works perfectly for my needs, and I don’t want to give that up.

Well, you can indeed use Apple Mail by running the Bridge. Not sure I understand the point here.

Not just lightning apparently. SO2 masked for decades the global warming, and here we are.

The observation about smartphone addiction is certainly valid, with studies showing average daily screen time exceeding 7 hours for many users, driven by algorithmic engagement.

BUT While the Metaverse could theoretically extend that immersion, historical execution suggests caution: initiatives like Horizon Worlds have struggled with user adoption and technical hurdles, indicating it might not seamlessly evolve from current devices as envisioned.

On the superintelligence front, focusing on empathetic LLMs for companionship taps into real societal issues like rising loneliness (e.g. reports from the WHO highlight it as a global health threat). This approach risks exacerbating dependency rather than alleviating it, potentially creating echo chambers of artificial interaction over genuine human bonds.

So yes, Meta shows some promise in these areas, but success is anything but assured. Their previous massive investments have largely failed to deliver the transformative changes they hyped.

not sure if sarcastic or not :)

It seems to be an instance of Uptime Kuma, which is a pretty great OSS for uptime monitoring and Dashboarding.

You can buy Amazon gift cards using bitcoin lighting to add another layer (actually 2) of paranoia :)

That’s the new enemy.

Does this kind of treatment still need probably years of testing and FDA-style approval, even if it’s essentially just a keratin derivative?

It's probably just one single guy scrolling through all the posts and downvoting covered in sweat.

[Confirmed]

At some point we’ll probably have smart glasses that actively block or scramble cameras, so random people can’t record you just walking down the street.

When EU?

Hello KYC

I understand your point, but that’s not what I personally do or in general people that cares and advocates for digital privacy.

I get it, you like nobel laureate even if they aren’t very sharp.

We’re talking about something else, but I like to see you staying on topic.

Krugman’s touting Brazil’s Pix as money’s future — government-run, instant, and actually useful— while taking his usual “script” on crypto flops.

Fair if you’re already in his camp on Bitcoin being BS, but just a quick recall his epic misses:

- dismissing the internet as a fax-machine bubble back in ‘98

- his endless rants against stablecoins that keep proving him wrong.

I know it’s not the point, but:
