Also depends on your definition of privacy. Some people confuse privacy (not seeing what you do) with anonimity (not knowing who you are).

Public blockchains (like BTC) have zero privacy, as everyone sees the transactions and balances, meanwhile private ones (like XMR) supposedly avoid anyone but two people in a transaction to know that transaction happened, or even to know each other’s balance.

In both cases, I would say you are as anonymous as your way to turn the coin from/into fiat is (P2P, KYC or non-KYC platforms, etc.).

Like with AI, I like crypto as a concept, but the practice… (specially the resources both consume for what little benefit they end up having)

Nah, infighting always works best.

And where will that end up? Oh, in one of the two biggest parties getting the votes anyways because it’s where most people go to, but with a worse candidate.

But go on about how it is more useful to be irrelevant and correct than relevant and half correct.

Honestly, the thing I don’t see going anywhere is this conversation. You aren’t going to change my mind and I’m not gonna change yours. If you think it’s more useful to start from zero, that’s your belief, I got mine. Hope you have a great day.

No offense, you give the same vibes as anarchists that say it is better to not vote at all to show they are against the state.

What would be your plan, Mamdani making a party of his own and getting nowhere because he has no platform to stand on, allowing a Republican or an average Democrat to get in power instead?

In an ideal world, he wouldn’t need to use Democrat’s party as a platform. But we aren’t in an ideal world, so if you want change, you need an existant platform to stand on.

Oh, people do have a choice. Buy stuff or be misreable and/or die.

Same as Mamdani, even if his choices’ consequences are less extreme for him (get a platform big enough to make change even if not the ideal one, or fall into irrelevance having achieved nothing).

Purists like you are the resson the left is so divided. Nothing like waiting for the (nonexistant) perfect candidate while letting psss the (existing) unperfect candidates.

“If capitalism bad why you buy stuff” ass question

Too late to fix the shitass OS, I’m already on Linux Mint lol

Uhh no, I’m just jerking a tgirl off and getting jerked by a tgirl.

Not my gf, but eh, still good.

Given the rest of things will stay the same, I prefer to be pandered to than not at all

Say what you wanna say about Rainbow Capitalism, but it’s kinda a mine canary situation. If they don’t do it, it means it’s not profitable, which is a great indicator shit is not going good in public acceptance.

Basic neccesities (healthcare, including mental healthcare, nutrition, electricity, clothing, heating, water, communication, housing, transport, etc.) should be covered by default.

Then, less basic neccesities (like entertainment, fashion, safe drugs) could be profited from.

I only understood “unionised force” and I gotta say "based.

And while at that, I recomend regular Mint (which is based on Ubuntu).

There is Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), but I have found it harder to use (while I can manage, I’m not that experienced with Linux to bother to troubleshoot and solve it [at least at the time], but I think it was dependency, incompatibility, or driver issues).

Plus, the main Mint version is still the Ubuntu based one, LMDE is kinda a side project and usually isn’t as up-to-date, as far as I know.

Exactly. It’s optional… as long as ypu don’t plan on using internet.

Germany and being on the side of genocide, iconic duo.

Once I got all I can from it, my upgrade from A1 Mini is gonna be Prusa lol, should have aten the price difference at first.

If they were 100% ethical and secure with the data, one could truly say “Nothing to hide nothing to fear”.

But because we live in a world where they aren’t 100% ethical and secure with the data, we just can’t let ourselves have that mindset (not even in the hypothetical that they are 100% ethical and secure with the data).

Any reccomendation?

How long until they target Proton or Mullvad…
