Well, they also have the wrong mentality on virtually everything else that Google does. They've shut down many more half-baked projects, far more than their successes. Google at least to me was/is solely successful at search, and ads. Even those are quickly turning to junk and the bane of the entire internet. Google should be busted up, sooner than later. But that's just me!
Yet another friendly reminder that only Bitcoin is real decentralized and freedom empowering finance.
Saying that you cannot participate is reaching the same level of saying that you cannot participate in the use of the internet. In ten years or so, you'll likely be having to use Bitcoin whether you stand against it now or not. Just as someone that said the internet was a scam or a fad back in 1999-2003 era of the web.
People who are anti-cryptocurrency often like to conflate Bitcoin with all these other scam coins. It's true that all of them are a scam besides bitcoin and that none of them have security or decentralization. There is only Bitcoin. It does not matter what is agreed upon, only the truth matters. Only the math matters. Only code matters.
This is precisely the reason why prior to linux support/removal, exploits weren't targeted. Once linux support was removed, linux hackers started releasing exploit after exploit on the target hardware and software, and it only took a couple months after they removed the linux support.
It goes back a long ways and it stems from very minimalist only free software linux communities. Many of these communities I've been privy to for 15+ years take pride in running in the smallest memory footprint, are anti-Java, anti-javascript, anti-Poettering (systemd as a backdoor), etc. and this is the premise of it. This community will get very mad at you for suggesting to add in those things that they deeply hate, i.e., javascript or non-free software blobs.
The idea behind it is using only free software, and nothing non-free. The guy who runs AntiX goes by the username Anticapitalista and the theme is not supporting corporate computer systems and consumerist cruft.
I ran these specs or a very close approximation as a daily driver for many years on a couple Gateway Atom netbooks. I consistently ran Debian unstable (Sid) with minimal window managers and desktop environments from 2011-2015 or so with mostly i686-PAE kernels.
I was confused by the constant use of "we" in the writing here and at first assumed this person was sharing the netbook with multiple other people. By the end I came to realize it was something more like a split personality usage? I found it odd.
Cannabis is still federally illegal, and sending it through the mail is on top of that a federal mail crime. Not too wise, though I'm not at all against using cannabis.
I never claimed that vaccinated people are getting sicker than a comparison to non-vaccinated people. I plainly said that the "sickest people I know lately" are all vaccinated. You took it and spun it into apparently what you wanted to take from it. You have taken what I said and what I meant out of context.
Lloyd, I very much appreciate all your work and efforts put into this testing! I stocked up on the Powecom masks very early after seeing all their thorough testing and backing and I'm glad that I did. I also went overboard and bought nice high end gas masks and CBRN filters and P3 particle gas mask filters in February 2020 but I've not used/wasted any of those. :)
Yes, sorry. The virus that caused my daughter, wife, and I to develop bronchitis in the same way after our daughter was diagnosed at her pediatrician to have gotten some virus that caused the bronchitis.
Uh, it factually is a coronavirus, of which several are already endemic "colds," and within another year or two (or so) we are looking at this also becoming "just another cold." This is the meaning of currently talking about the virus becoming endemic. It's here to stay like our other colds that should be added, were also deadly when they first started.
100% of people can get these vaccines, and 100% of people will still get and spread Coronaviruses. Full stop. It's getting really old hearing that vaccines will stop anything when the majority of people spreading this shit RIGHT NOW, are vaccinated people. The people I've been seeing the sickest for a year now when they do get sick, are vaccinated. The 3-4 people I know recently who were very sick with COVID for 10 or more days with breathing troubles, were VACCINATED. The shit is nonsense anymore.
Just ask my close emergency worker friends and family? They're mostly unwilling to get vaccinated, understand this more than yourself, and they think it's endemic and pointless to get the vaccine. They usually bring up the fact they all have MRSA in their noses and on all their surfaces all day long and they'll get over it. They've all had COVID. Immunocompromised people will continue to die from pnuemonia, flus, etc regardless of impositions from society.
I had the delta variant a few months back and it was so mild, I first thought it was just allergies. 2nd day, got a little bit of a tingly nose, stuffy, couldn't quite smell, but could still taste fine. 3rd day, same symptoms, 4th day, I was almost better completely. Fast forward about 1.5 months after I had that Delta coronavirus variant, and I got bronchitis from my young daughter. My ears became stuffed up for weeks, I had a bad cough for nearly 20 days before it was out of my system. The Delta variant was nothing to me. Here's more of that "anecdata."
From anonymous remailers and his penchant for anonymously released work back in the mailing lists, to MojoNetwork with Bram. His British spelling, his time zone abroad when working in academia and posting online. His circle. Before he committed suicide due to his neurological issues and loss of passion for life, Satoshi last said
“I’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future.”
He kept this secret even from his own wife. Alas, I hate to post this here just like this but it's my belief that it's an open secret. Only those close enough to suspect and know his pathology venture the guess. His wish is to have the work carried on nameless and to speak for itself. He hated notoriety for notoriety sake. I feel disrespectful even posting this, but it was not fucking Nick Szabo.
From rumors I heard over a year ago, Apple are planning on satellite implementations of some sort to get off current cell tower configurations and SIM vulnerabilities. I don't have a current link to those rumors, but I'm sure you can find them. When I first saw this MacRumors article come through I assumed this is why they're removing SIM. We'll see, it's just rumors to me until it's brought to fruition anyway.
We really need real, ownable media. While I understand that even "owning" a disc 20 years ago was considered a license and not ownership, let's call it what it is for these intents and purposes here. I want to own my music, I want to own my movies and I do NOT want to essentially rent them and have them revokable. Same goes with games. I'll continue to pirate the videos and music as I see fit and continue to play emulated N64, PSX, etc games that are full copies of unchanging code. I don't want my collections to need an internet connection. The cloud is a fad that needs to die. I know many here like cloud, but it's a trap. Anyway, just my thoughts. I'll check out these tools if they're still up on the 'hub.
God is nature itself. I am happy toiling in soils, studying plants, etc. I could just as easily 100% drop computers and engineering next week and live on my own farm toiling the soils, raising farm animals and be as happy as I have ever been in my life.
