throwmeariver1··on Moving a macOS window by clicking anywhere on it
I know very few people on any desktop os that don’t use plugins or third party apps to customize their experience but it’s only when macOS is discussed that it gets painted as something outrageous.
throwmeariver1··on Dude, where's my fuel?
That’s a dev problem…
throwmeariver1··on Most Salvadorans have already ditched their national Bitcoin wallets
I am 100% sure it won't replace non existing bank accounts or debit cards or help the people trying to pay with their non existing smarpthones at 80% of the vendors in El Salvador that don't accept it. LOL

The thing with educating other people is that you need to have knowledge about the topic you are trying to educate people about and you just don't have it. The real world is not your high school debate club were you can just pull shit out of your head and get points for being witty. At least you didn't try to paint me as racist and sexist this time :D

Dude, you have so much time on your hand to write little essays without saying anything that you probably can google it yourself (hint it's not the first hit like the last link you posted you really have to scroll this time :P). I am over kicking your shitty arguments in trash because the only thing you do is repeat yourself and throw racism and sexism acquisitions around.

It's not feasible for the majority ( ;) ) of El Salvadorians to use crypto as a cash replacement because there is simply not enough digital infrastructure for it. Maybe your boy Elon will drop some Starlinks. lmao.

PS: I really hope you are just an edgy troll and that's not your real persona ;0)

throwmeariver1··on What we can deduce from a leaked PDF
the economy was up before the war in Ukraine, dow had its best time ever even through covid, the caravans never arrived and covid killed itself. Are we living in different countries or are you just mad?

50.5% have internet access... nice majority. For the mobile lines just check how many there are registered in the US and you see how useless this number is especially in regards that you overlooked the smartphone penetration at all. I said nothing about that the people are inept of learning. That's all coming from you! I said it neither feasible nor practical for the majority ( :D ) of people to use crypto. Shared phones and computers... how practical instead of just using cash. Let me correct the statement of my last post: Racist my ass, you are a delusional first world country geek.
throwmeariver1··on Most Salvadorans have already ditched their national Bitcoin wallets
Most of them don't even have smartphones, only 50% of the population uses the internet and you are talking about learning to use crypto when they didn't even use a normal bank or google before.

Racist my ass, you entitled first world country geek.

Still not really helping grandma or the other 45% of the population that don't have a bank account. If they don't use a bank account they most certainly won't use bitcoin to do their daily shopping especially with a mobile network coverage of only 30% with only 50% over 3G. For your conclusion we don't know if they switched they could have just stopped using bitcoin altogether we have no way of knowing so the assumption of you that they switched and learned really fast is NIL.

Not a single person in the general public would even know half of the buzzwords you just used and the other half isn't interested in technicalities. The wallet is used to pay and receive bitcoin. It's a bitcoin wallet at least for 99% of people on the planet.

You still don’t know what Orwell tried to convey to his readers… next time get the hard cover and read the intro and stop trying to convey that you are an expert on everything makes you look like a fool… in all your comments.

johnnydecimal.com but have a look at the HN search there was a heated discussion back in the day.

throwmeariver1··on Fritzing is an open-source electronic design tool
... for the reading folks "Electronics Explained" by Louis E. Frenzel, Jr. Is probably the best book for a general knowledge buff up.
throwmeariver1··on I accidentally loaned all my money to the US government
Weaker fundamentals? Do you really think the relationships with third world countries are more strained than were during active colonization? Russia and China did a lot of work with their infrastructure programs but I am still not sure they have the upper hand.
throwmeariver1··on I accidentally loaned all my money to the US government
A very high risk? A bigger war than WWII? They are losing? Citation needed and who is they if you don't mean us.

throwmeariver1··on Payments companies have all left SF after Prop C
"many responded well to antipsychotics" citation needed because if there is something most humans don't do is respond well to antipsychotics. Especially because antipsychotics only work on a really really small subset of mental illnesses. What an uninformed comment.

It was a tongue cheek quote from The Big Short… can’t wait for synthetic NFTs.
throwmeariver1··on Americans are drowning in spam
Why would no one regulate it? Right, because both political parties are spamming as well. At the height of the presidential campaign I got 52 emails from republicans and 47 from democrats and they are full of dark patterns and manipulative language on both sides. It’s insane.
throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: How can this happen without the phone covertly listening?
