Bitcoin mining can be compared with seti@home: There are some computations to be done (in BTC it is in order to verify transactions which creates trust) and results to be sent.

What part exactly do they want to ban? Can there be no reward for computations?

Because as opposed to the mentioned alternatives, email is an openly defined protocol.

Reminds me of the old pаypal.com scam, where а != a.

Yet many people get this idea through media and governments.

It always sounded very utopian to me to 'try to get rid of the virus' and 'fight it' the way they did. No surprises so far.

At least they were all double vaccinated.

Oh wait, that does not help against catching and transmitting the virus.

I tried to google "Mass formation psychosis" yesterday. Guess what happened.

We havent had this side effect in the first year of the pandemic.

Unlike drone pilots, who most likely don't mind that people think of toys instead of war machines now.

You should not compare the numbers of deaths that may or may not be caused by covid, but the absolute number of deaths.

What I mostly do not like about these new techs: dependence.

Before you needed simply cash to pay for parking.

Now you need a phone with a non-empty battery, mobile internet connection and a digital mean of payment provided by a third party that takes its share.

The vast majority of people infected with Sars-CoV2 do not need to cure COVID, as they do not even notice any symptoms.

This is now replaced by third parties with dependence.

I think Schengen Area is there for that and it worked much better and easier.

Two decades ago I used trillian and mirianda for all the popular messaging protocols,

Why would I want a man in the middle of my communications?

I am glad this finally gets some mainstream attention. This unfair, arbitrary situation has been a thorn in my flesh for a while. Respectively, I have been avoiding using the cards of VISA and MasterCard. There are very little alternatives. Maybe crypto?

Absolutely. I am fed up with so many dependencies due to or within my mobile phone

Where is the data available at?

I could not find any leak yet, just the interpretation of it.

In my country fuel stations are very popular as (apart from train stations) this is the only place where the shops are allowed to stay open after regular business hours and sundays.

My first few basic lines of code were written on a TI83+.

Nostalgia.

Its like our president lying to us by saying the exact opposite of the reality.

Because its the strongest immunity you can get, in all measurable dimensions.

The politician was bombed/trolled with real letters saying that he is indeed '1 pimmel', since what he did was a real dick move. Also, he didnt have his own internet address, so.. https://www.andygrote.de

Lovin' it

'Funnily', youtube does not tell me that the video has been deleted. youtube tells me that the video has been made unavailable in my country by the uploader.

Wikipedia is horrible regarding moderation. Trust is mostly gone.

I rather trust cryptography (and its currencies) than be dependent on VISA or similar.

The more stories I read about VISA/Mastercard (yes, Stripe is there to accept payments of these networks) the less I want to use them. The only alternative I found so far were cryptos. (yes, there is paypal and such - but I have never seen any brick and mortar shop accepting it)

1€ to live there for a year. 6.5€ to visit once.

What is going on there?
