actually i have no idea where i am! the community is called [ ]. the sidebar sounds like total gibberish. this is a place i don’t understand.
what does this even mean?!
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal. No anti-natilasm posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer Vaush posts go in the_dunk_tank
because the system selects for people like him. in a working democracy people like him would be licking stamps, or in a nursing home. you can’t change anything by changing the man, only by changing the system.
It’s not his fault though. If you could sack your president and elect a new one tomorrow, the new one would do the same. Your electoral system ensures it. You need electoral reform to have a chance of fixing anything.
polar bears. it’s the only animal that likes to eat people. daily life is just too safe and dull.

Why would you think it’s difficult to keep a secret that big? It happens all the time. Look at all the secrets that have been kept for decades before they were leaked. Then think about how many more there must be that will never be discovered.
I think leftist organisations make an effort to be open. Keeping secrets would be against their philosophy.
Yes you couldn’t change something so widely used. Look what happened with python 3.
Fortunately there’s already a tradition among Git users of building a UI on top of the git UI. My project is just a slightly better version of those. It lays a simple sensible interface on top of the chaotic Git interface.
Git is a great invention but it has a few design flaws. There are too many ways to confuse it or break it, using commands that look correct, or just forgetting something. I ended up writing simple wrapper script codebase to fix it. Since then no problems.
Just use schwalbe marathon. They are puncture proof and last forever. I once got home and picked a shard of glass as king as my fingernail out of one.
Most people haven’t. We all have a filter bubble.
Here is a first draft, my attempt to provide the missing context. Please leave comments on anything bad or missing you notice. https://lemmy.ml/post/4848742

That all sounds like brigading emotional nonsense. In fact, there were strong reasons for Russia to invade. It is probably true that Russia was manipulated into invading, it had no choice because of strategic decisions made by Ukraine. It’s a shame none of the people you talked to were able to argue the issues sensibly.
You make a lot of points. To explain all of those things, I would news to make a very long post. i think i will do that when i get time.
Any update on this?
I couldn’t find any comment from the devs. Was there one?
There is an extra problem, not mentioned here. When there are subs with the same name, it is actually impossible to know of choose which sub I am posting to. Like here.
Yes block chains predate bitcoin and are very useful. Git uses them. A currency is a perfect use case for a block chain. You need to robustly store balances and transactions so they can’t be tampered with.
I would say it’s insane to have a currency which is not block chain based. Too easy to fiddle your finances.
Proof of work isn’t a necessary part of it. You need to answer the question “how does money get created”. Proof of work is a very robust way to create and allocate new money. Fiat currencies just answer " i nominate one entity who is allowed to create as much money as he likes”. Other answers are possible.
It’s also possible to use a proof of work algorithm which doesn’t consume much energy. The usual proposal is for a “proof of doing work and allocating RAM and storing something on disk”. Bitcoin just chose the most robust and simplest algorithm, which does consume a lot of energy.
In a future currency, the proof of work algorithm could allocate money to people who sequester carbon or plant trees. The thing about inventing a new type of money is that you can do anything. Bitcoin is a great leap of progress for humanity, but has a couple of flaws. Those flawed features can be reinvented, while still keeping all the benefits.
This seems like the right approach. You can get different answers depending on which measure you use
You could compare
1.Willful killings in total
willful killings per year
willful killings during the 1920s-40s
willful killings during Churchill’s regime versus Hitler’s regime.
I guess the UK will have higher numbers by every measure except 1. The figures should be easy to find.
For a start, bitcoin is revolutionary. It solves all the problems with the banking system.
For example, people’s card details get stolen all the time. Bitcoin had solved this by using a new public key for each transaction.
When something is purchased using a credit/debit card, you are effectively using the same public key for every transaction. So what is happening is replay attacks. This type of scam is inevitable because the banking system is insecure by nature. It’s built on a foundation of insecurity.
Bitcoin fixes all that. Bitcoin or similar is necessary for money-based economies to continue to work in the future.
Bitcoin and crypto are more than this. This is just one of the important innovations bitcoin makes.
It is all teddits.
There is democracy in several member states of the USA. It could trickle up. There are mechanisms to make that happen. I think is even an ongoing campaign to replace the electoral college. I forget the details now.
