It would be great if/when that happens, but it's a few years off the Elon deadline ATM, and doesn't look close to operation soon

I love owning a pitull, it's a legal way to perform fourth trimester abortions

How is clamping down on the freedom companies have to make plastic cheese, and the freedom for people to buy it... Libertarian?

Isn't that pretty authoritarian?

Yeah!

Now hopefully they can enable HDR video playback within the next few years (bug open for 5 years at this point)

It's not related to secure boot (I have that disabled) it's related to nouveu drivers not supporting the 4090 (yet)

Banging whenever you want without worry about child support? That sounds like the woke agenda

Well... Say that to my live USB I tried booting off of a machine with a very modern nVidia card. I had to create a new boot entry to disable nouveau and install nVidia proprietary graphics into a persistent partition.

I understand nVidia is shit, and doesn't play nice with others. But my point is - it's not always that easy. (I thought it would be! I lost many hours, and pulled out lots of hair!)

TradFi has a few wealthy individuals that control banking

You say PoS is an oligarchy, but it still offers anyone to participate in markets they previously were unable to. For example, providing liquidity and getting a cut of transaction fees - this is something TradFi has a monopoly on, but now everyday people can get a cut. You're right that people with more money will have a bigger cut - but it's still more equal than TradFi

You're partially correct with some of these points.

Theatge amount of energy you mention is really only relevant to proof of work. You've mentioned proof of stake etc - so you should know that. The energy requirements for "proof" techniques such as PoS is negligible

Reversing transactions are 'hard'/infesable - and so in a way they do help scammers - but I think it's a false equivalence. It helps everyone. In my mind it's like says "encryption helps terrorists", that may be true, but it helps us all.

Regarding on chain transaction transparency, there are some chains that are like this (bitcoin), and there are some chains that are not (monero). There's also ways to anonymise transactions through mixers etc if you do care about that. Although, I don't know of anyone that gets their salary into their crypto wallet.

Overall, regulation is slow! But it's getting there. I don't think crpyto will solve all of.humans problems, but I might just help with some. It's going to be interesting seeing how it all plays out - people thought it was going to be here and gone in a year, but it's been over a decade now.

That's a bit like rocket league with mutator settings
