Yup, same. I haven't pirated software in a decade or so. I'm not much of a gamer, and the software I do use is almost all FOSS.
Books, eh. I'll buy an epub or PDF that I can download. I'm not "buying" something that can disappear from my library after license agreements change between corpos. I don't want paper, too heavy and voluminous.
I will buy an artist's music on bandcamp if available if it's something that's going to enrich my life for years to come.
Oh OK. I see now. Thanks for sharing.
Lol OK.
Points 1 and 2 are correct. The whole "energy money" thing is ridiculous. Bitcoin does follow a power law and if you've read saifedans book you'd be blown away.
Of course, the things in the book apply to more than just bitcoin. Good luck convincing maxis of that. They just gloss over the details on how magically bitcoin is special. "It can only be done once" or some bullshit like that.
Yes, in the long run, a thing can only store value if it is liquid. But for now, bitcoin is worthwhile.
How to proceed... Don't. You can't save people from themselves. And save... What are you saving him from exactly? Disagreeing with you? It's his life, let him live it.
The internal microphone is on the same board as the webcam in laptops.
Pop the bezel and disconnect the cable when not in use.

If some guy robs me and I drive by shoot up his house and his children get shot and die, that's not his fault. That's my fault. I see your point, he would have some culpability starting shit with a dangerous person, but ultimately I am the one that did the shooting.
Hamas didn't drop those bombs. Israel did. Are hamas bad leaders? Sure. Do they use this response for propaganda purposes? Yes. Do they deliberately do things knowing this will happen so they can benefit from the anger over it? Yes. Israel still dropped the bombs. acknowledging someone's role in an outcome doesn't absolve the other party of their culpability.
So I was responding to the parent statement, he said when there's disinformation democracy doesn't work. Well in order to avoid disinformation, you need strong control of information flow. That sounds a lot like a dictatorship. The people you vote for control what you know about them, that's not democracy. So if democracy doesn't work because people lie, and democracy doesn't work if information is controlled, then democracy doesn't work, right? Interestingly, he confirmed lower in the thread that he does not believe in democracy.
I'm with you, all news is controlled propaganda. I don't follow any of it as a result. It is sad, but all we can do is try to live in the world we are in. I don't let it get me depressed, I just carry on.
That's probably why it doesn't work. Should try more motivated conversion therapists for better results.
Looks like fud to me. The keys are for the people running the network. Haveno decided not to run a network and just release software. If they had run a network these would be their keys instead.
Deanonymizing tor Monero nodes... This is not haveno or reto specific. Haveno exacerbates it by increasing the number of Monero nodes on the tor network, that's all.
Looks like a nothingburger. Could reto be a honeypot? Sure, maybe I guess. But a honeypot for what? What information are they collecting? What are they collecting that they'd need to run a haveno network to collect?
Pretty often. Most of the newer stuff I like to listen to is on there.
