I'm really glad this shyster is having light shed on his behaviour. It's always been odd to me how FTX made it so big so quickly.

A lot of us want small Government and low taxes.

Hyperbole. This really reads like astroturfing/provocation.

Define extremely here? Given Covid 19 lockdown policies?

Firefox being too woke is also why I am switching to Brave.
ploppyploppy··on Simon Peyton Jones interview
This is definitely my experience with the language, but mostly 'cause it's statically typed and compiled. I get a similar experience in Rust.
ploppyploppy··on What “diversity and inclusion” means at Microsoft
It stops if people refuse to live within the lie.

Read Vaclav Havel's "Power of the powerless".

ploppyploppy··on LibSQL is an open source, open contribution fork of SQLite
Activist arseholes forcing their "cancel culture" on others if anything remotely related to pro-western ideas of religion or philosophy doesn't bend to their authoritarian whim.

I for one think the Code of Conduct in SQLite is excellent.

The Euro is doing worse against the Dollar. WTF are you talking about?
ploppyploppy··on British pound hits record low against the dollar
All major currencies are weak against the dollar right now: EUR famously below parity (hugely embarrassing), JPY and Yuan.

This is a distraction to pile pressure on a new Government.

You're making ad hominem attacks and baseless claims.
ploppyploppy··on iPhone 14 Pro Camera Review: Scotland
Don't forget you'll likely have your iPhone out a lot when taking photos etc, which means it's at greater risk of being lost or damaged or the battery running out, rendering the satellite features useless. Having a Garmin in your pocket that you never take out has its advantages therefore.
ploppyploppy··on One year on, El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment has proven a failure

Its utility as a decentralised banking system for those who have no access to banking in poorer regions of the world is a clear benefit and has achieved what it wanted for the country.

ploppyploppy··on Anti-royal protesters are being arrested in the U.K. as 'Not My King' tag grows
Half-baked, predictable and virtue signalling nonsense.
ploppyploppy··on Anti-royal protesters are being arrested in the U.K. as 'Not My King' tag grows
GP's is such a bizarre and over-the-top take on what's happening. It honestly doesn't deserve so many replies
ploppyploppy··on Anti-royal protesters are being arrested in the U.K. as 'Not My King' tag grows
A very biased, dark and over-written take on the scenes & goings-on. These traditions are > 100 years old; what do you expect to happen?

Get outside and spend some time in nature why don't you?
