I saw that it did not have an unlockable bootloader and was like, okay, I’ve seen enough.

I use nostr and Lemmy already.

That’s because to do so, you really need subpoena power. If you are a nation state, you have the power to subpoena the exchanges and force them to give up information that they otherwise would not.

That’s what market makers are for. Average joe/jill don’t have open orders on the exchanges. They just have their crypto that they purchased sitting on their exchange account.

Well, for everyone else Monero exists. It actually is truly untraceable.

Yeah, a nation state actor can get away with using Bitcoin for illegal activity. Regular people, though, cannot.

Considering Bitcoin is almost entirely traceable, it is a really, really bad idea to use Bitcoin for illegal activity.

It is. Only idiots leave their crypto on an exchange.

Exchanges are a lot like public toilets. You should go in, do your business, and get the fuck out. But a lot of people decide that they like the public toilet, and they’ll just stick around and chat about the weather.

Bitcoin is far from untraceable. In fact, it’s one of the most traceable currencies that’s ever existed.

After all, you can see exactly what address sent exactly what amount to exactly what other address. All you have to do is compromise the addresses and then you know the people. And KYC from Exchanges does an incredibly good job at that.

He can pry my local AI out of my cold dead hands. My gpu is capable of running it and damnit i will run it locally

I have been buying groceries through giftcards for over 3 years now and i have not died of hunger or dehydration. The cold is admittedly a bit harder. I dont have that one figured out yet.

But I am able to take my Monero and use it to interact with the brands and companies that everybody else uses.

What I was saying above is that for companies that accept different types of cryptocurrency directly, Monero is always in the top one or two spot.

Closest by far is Monero. They are actually willing to spend it as a currency, and when looking at statistics from companies that accept different cryptocurrencies, Monero is always either number one or number two on the list.

I know right, total insanity.

If they are any kind of intelligent, very little of it, because they will put it into Monero, and they will leave it there, and if they need fiat a little bit at a time, they’ll pull it very slowly into fiat, as needed.

Totally unaffected. Haven’t even visited that site for several years.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I used Google search.

Though if I had to guess, it would be something around several years.

I get my groceries delivered once a month from Instacart because I’m blind, so if I wanted to go grocery shopping myself, I would have to spend money on an Uber to take me there, then get a shopping assistant to help me pick up the stuff I need, and then pay for an Uber back home, so it actually ends up being cheaper to just get it delivered, and I can see what I’m purchasing in the app.

It’s the only way to do it though, so you have no other choice.

Overheat as there is no way to disperse heat in a vacuum

This is incorrect. You cannot do convection heat removal in a vacuum because there’s no air. However, you can still do radiant heat dispersal.

So you dump your heat into something that has a lot of surface area with which to radiate it away from your components.

Space is either very hot or very cold, depending on whether you are in light or shadow. If one side is constantly exposed to light, then there must be radiators on the other side to radiate that heat back off into the cold.

An ad blocker is an internet condom, and anybody who doesn’t use one is a fucking idiot.

I’ve been using device level ad blocks for something like a decade now and have been using DNS level plus device level ad blocks for about two or three years now.
