o_p··on AMA: Ivan Kutskir, creator of Photopea
Its just shocking to think that wasting your talent into making people click more ads for some faceless corp can even be compared to creating something great like Photopea.
o_p··on Brave disables Chromium FLoC features
There are no specifications about what the cohorts will be, Google is literally leaving that for the ad companies to figure it out. It wouldnt be suprising it at all they realize a way to make small enough cohorts in such a way you can be fingerprinted.

The bottom line is that you are giving them your browsing data, obfuscated by fancy algorithms. Unless you trust ad-tech to have the best interests about your privacy (ha!)

o_p··on Brave disables Chromium FLoC features
True, we have to make advertising non-viable, that's the point.

Id gladly pay for my content just to watch the ad-tech industry die, its not just about "ads", they are building the infrastructure for the surveillance police state.

o_p··on Brave disables Chromium FLoC features
The internet was better when content creators did it for the lulz instead of chasing money.
o_p··on Brave disables Chromium FLoC features
Fingerprinting is hardly just advertising.

How come theres no Smell Transfer Protocol yet
o_p··on Things I hate about PostgreSQL (2020)
Its better to work on getting all those users before planning what color the ferrari will be..
o_p··on Human use of high-bandwidth wireless brain-computer interface
I doubt thats physically possible, its like trying to access your RAM by reading EM fluctuations from the outside of your computer, sure, you can see when theres a lot of read/write instructions but theres no way you read memory.
o_p··on Microsoft Coffee
So that was the internal name before C#
o_p··on UK finds 30 blood clot cases after AstraZeneca jab
The same argument can be applied to covid deaths itself.
o_p··on Frameworkless Movement
This is like applied Dunning-Kruger
o_p··on 'Fake' Amazon workers defend company on Twitter
If it was for market alone those issues would never been fixed, full free market is just bad for labor market because of the power asymmetry between supply and demand.
o_p··on Sega Lawyers Demand “Immediate Suspension” of Steam Database over Alleged Piracy
Sega is probably the most friendly videogame company regarding copyright, specially to fan games.
o_p··on Body-editing apps on TikTok ‘trigger eating disorders’
Fatties are a much bigger health problem than eating disorders, rather stop thinking that a normal human body is a "unrealistic" one. Way to go america!
o_p··on Bitcoin is not a Battery – it is a Sink
Then any currency would be fiat making the word meaningless. Bitcoin haves an intrisic value like gold, the energy it takes to create a btc. Fiat money can be made out of thin air as the fed can just print more money
o_p··on Bitcoin is not a Battery – it is a Sink
So much words to cope you didnt get into the train at the right time, but keep going no-coiners :-)
o_p··on Tesla cars can be bought in Bitcoin
The transaction energy cost to buy the car is tiny to even be considered. The trip to the dealership you make to buy your car with fiat money probably takes far more energy.
o_p··on Young female Japanese biker is 50-year-old man using FaceApp
Brilliant, I dont see nothing wrong with this, he just gives the people what the people wants to see, its like getting mad that some tv shows are fake, its all entertainment folks. The steak is virtual and its tasty :)
o_p··on Multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants escape neutralization by vaccine-induced immunity

Sounds like a great business plan. Vaccines As a Service

o_p··on Magic Mushrooms Are Decriminalized in DC as of Today
Ah but you forgot the key premise:

Alcohol cannot be illegal

o_p··on Female Founder Secrets: Fertility
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
o_p··on Bitcoin Is Time
Personally I see bitcoin more as internet gold, you wouldnt buy a carton of milk with gold either, but you can create commerce services on top of bitcoin who are backed by this descentralized currency
o_p··on Bitcoin Is Time
So the propaganda machine is now trying to smear Bitcoin because of energy, ridiculous! I guess that the smearing it by associating it with criminlals didnt worked well enough.

o_p··on Using Ghidra to Reverse Engineer Super Monkey Ball for GameCube
I really hope Ghidra becomes the standard in reverse engineering, but the good old IDA with decompilers is just too good for now
o_p··on Gab has been hacked and 70GB of data leaked
Sure, after they stole your data already
o_p··on Mining Bitcoin with pencil and paper: 0.67 hashes per day (2014)
How much energy consumes the industrial military complex that sustains the fiat value of your US dollar?
o_p··on Mining Bitcoin with pencil and paper: 0.67 hashes per day (2014)
Its the cost of a decentralized currency, people find it worthwhile and priced it accordingly. Who are you to say that is wrong?
o_p··on An experiment in giving cash to recently homeless people [video]
You are adding costs and extra work because now you have to make sure everyone is on the income bracket and all the complexities of auditing. Its just much more simple and elegant to make it universal, those at the top brackets will have a negative net due to taxes anyway, so why bother?
o_p··on An experiment in giving cash to recently homeless people [video]
Even Hayek approved the idea of a universal basic income. The freedom that a free market provides can only exist when each side of the agreement are free to walk away, in reality many people are in a 'work for me for low pay and bad conditions or starve' kinda of deal which is effectively coercion and against any idea of freedom.

Instead of directly giving people money they build highly inefficient aid programs full of bureaucracy just because of pure distrust, if you dont believe that the individual can make the best decisions for themselves and society then you dont really believe in capitalism.

o_p··on Forever chemicals are widespread in U.S. drinking water
Without problems there are no jobs!
