skoopie··on How each pillar of the First Amendment is under attack
The court seems to disagree. None of them were charged with insurrection.
skoopie··on How each pillar of the First Amendment is under attack
They cut and pasted answers from a different question so that it sounded less like her usual word salad non-answers. No biggie.

We should treat the Free Palestine and Tesla protesters the same way J6 protesters were treated. Throw them in prison until the next Democrat president pardons them.
skoopie··on Mark Klein, AT&T whistleblower who revealed NSA mass spying, has died
We benefit from drug dealers too. They bring extra money into the community and they give rappers something to rap about.

So do we.
skoopie··on Disney's Internal Slack Breached? NullBulge Leaks 1.1 TiB of Data

Yes, the laws have the unintended(?) consequence of creating a moat around large corporate property ownership.
skoopie··on VPN Users Risk 20-Year Jail Sentences in the US Under New Restrict Act
Who TF cares if they're spying on us. The real issue is that our biggest foreign adversary has push-button access to influence the minds of our kids. If TikTok were Russia-owned, we would have banned it already.
skoopie··on Trump's Trading Card Grift Is Worse Than You Think
A portion of the NFT resale $$ goes back to Trump. Can Trump avoid campaign finance laws somehow through this?
skoopie··on ElonJet Is Now Suspended
I'm looking for examples where the far right redefines/rephrases/characterizes/pretends violence is speech. That's all I asked for.
skoopie··on ElonJet Is Now Suspended
It's actually the far left that characterizes speech as violence. Even silence has been called violence by the left. I don't want to defend any actions taken by the far right but I've never heard of anyone successfully defending violence as being a free speech issue. Could you provide some examples?
skoopie··on US super-rich 'pay almost no income tax'
The rich have done this for a long time (borrow against assets to avoid income). What is the purpose of this article now? Are they gunning for an unrealized capital gains tax?
skoopie··on El Salvador makes Bitcoin legal tender
So the person who transports those dollars to the bank doesn't get paid? The car that takes that person to the bank doesn't use gas? Just because you don't see the fee doesn't mean you don't pay it. It's included in the price of anything you buy.

I hate it when the government sneaks around back and lowers my score all the time. It'd be nice to retire someday before I'm dead.
skoopie··on Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge
Agreed. Fiat maximalists are persistent though.
skoopie··on Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge
I ignored crypto for several years because I put too much weight on opinions from HN. I'd probably be retired by now if I'd actually paid more attention.
skoopie··on Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge

I guess we can only expect searches for technical issues to be unbiased. Thanks for the tip!
skoopie··on Stripe bans Trump campaign
I love it when people try to gaslight us like we haven't seen the shit that happened last year. The capitol building "coup" was like watching a kids bop version of BLM/antifa.
skoopie··on Parler App delisted from Google Play; Apple threatening same within 24h
There is no question in my mind that this is exactly where we are heading. It's coming very quickly as well.

Looney tune
