Sidebery

Wouldn’t chameleon make you just as trackable unless you’re also switching your vpn every time you switch user agents?

Nah, you’ve refused to elaborate for anyone else in this thread, why would I explain myself for you? You’re literally lying about being a core Bitcoin dev, it’s pointless to even try to have a rational discussion with you. Goodbye!

you’re proving their point there… Gold has use and is rare which is why it is so highly valued. Aluminum has use and isn’t rare thus it’s worth less. You can even look at articles about how platinum is extremely undervalued due to this exact scenario. But lots of times, things are dictated by market conditions other than rarity as well, like tariffs and industry necessity.

seeing as how it’s used in corrosion-resistant connectors in things like planes’ jet engines and transit systems, probably also in many of the electrical systems keeping every city on the planet running, I’d say that gold is quite important to society continuing to function.

Do you understand that Bitcoin has been around for 16 years, has never had an error or security breach (all cases of losing money are due to malicious actors or careless users), can send billions of dollars across the world for literal pennies, has over a TRILLUON dollars of market cap.

and you’re the one saying others don’t understand Bitcoin. smh.

Yeah it was relatively recent. I think earlier this year. Can’t remember exactly, it’s been a longgggg year. I never managed to get it integrated with HA and the creator passed away and nobody knew if it was going to get picked up by anyone else so I just fully stopped trying.

Would love to know what you find. I started to use Willow months before the creator passed away and it seemed like the only option available (not the best option, literally the only option due to all the reasons you listed). If you find something I’d love to know.

Nobody said anything about selling data. You said data collection. And the fediverse is literally entirely public, so beehaw doesn’t have to do anything for your activity here to be tracked across numerous locations.

The website you use right now literally wouldn’t function without “data collection”.

That isn’t the app installation screen. It’s the store page. Where else would you show it? Telepathically to the user as soon as they think of the app?

Wait what!? Really?

how dumb can you be? You think people that are protesting over social media bans are actually cognizant of the actual effects of social media? or what the law actually entailed? Look at the protests in the US over TikTok. People just want social media, they don’t care the effects.

The truth of the matter is (before all the killings) is that all the ‘social media companies’ had to do was fill out a fucking form and they didn’t do it. Then people pissed about missing their feeds went out and blamed it on the government, when it was completely the social media companies’ faults. Sure, it sounds like the government was doing a lot of other shit, but acting like the government didn’t give the companies time to register is just an absolute lie, there were several companies that managed just fine and they didn’t get blocked. If the goal was blocking social media completely then they wouldn’t have bothered with the registration, they just would have blocked.

People need to stop giving social media companies the benefit of the doubt. Now the situation is so out of control that people get to blame the government blocking social media as a reason to not do any sort of regulation against these tech companies in other countries. Now when a law in X country pops up saying “we need to regulate FB, TikTok, etc” you’re going to get people referencing Nepal as a reason not to, even if FB/etc are literally causing genocides.

To be clear: this is NOT a commentary on whatever other bs the government is doing or the protesters are protesting. This is ONLY a comment on the OP i replied to stating

which is why social media platforms were cut off, so videos about the corruption and investigations and means to plan protests were cut off. The ‘they didn’t register in time’ excuse is for the government to save face internationally.

which is just a bald faced lie since they didn’t cut off any social media that literally filled out a form.

no, it means “filled out a form with contact info”.

Several social media companies registered in time just fine and weren’t cut off so no, I think that’s just an excuse for the protestors.

The nuance you’re missing is that the social media companies would have been allowed the second they registered with the government. All it would do is allow the Nepalese government to actually contact a representative in order to help protect Nepal from foreign tech companies doing things to control Nepal from afar.

All the protests have done is given these social media companies that flaunted the law massive power. It didn’t stop corruption in Nepal.

Nepal isn’t banning them for those reasons though. Nepal is very much a country that is trying to not lose its people to the tech corps so they passed a law requiring the tech corps to register to operate in the country, something that is required in numerous other countries.

So dumb. Citizens literally forcing the government to allow the tech corps to continue to fuck over their society.

Holy cow that’s an expensive pillow. I thought mine was expensive lol
