And of course, the dollar, and Wall St. use no electricity whatsoever!

Also, your comment demonstrates your lack of knowledge on even the basics on this topic.

Of course! You have access to actual evidence and not articles directly or indirectly funded by those who would be harmed by moving away from the current system. And of course you’ve considered it without bias or influence from that group. You are not being propagandized to, no way.

IMO, blockchain technology is good for one use case: illegal transactions.

YES!!!

The only thing you’re not getting quite right is what it means to be “illegal” and whether the groups making this decision have anyone’s interest in mind except their own.

When doing right is or becomes illegal because our country is run by a fascist, that “illegal” money will save lives.

Imagine if you will… the dollar (cash) was invented today, up until now all there was was long-established crypto currency.

Suddenly there’s all sorts of scams where crooks trick people out of their dollars. Others are getting straight robbed and have no recourse to get their cash back. Cops often don’t believe you as you have little evidence of the $1000 you just had. Yet others are getting scammed by “banks” that disappear soon after accepting deposits as there is no state regulation.

What you’re seeing is not a problem inherent in crypto-currency or blockchains, it’s a new tool. Many new tools are used most effectively by “the bad guys” first. Even look at Mp3s, the first 5 years of their existence their purpose was basically to rob record companies. Are mp3s a scam?

Don’t let banks and authorities convince you that one of the most effective weapons against them is a scam against you. You don’t think the banks are telling you the truth… this time… right?

An NFT is a deed. Do you see any uses for a deed that is not in control of a central authority?

but a bank’s opinion, that’s fact

it’s almost certainly not

Consensus algorithms lie at the foundation for a great many of the backend systems our internet depends on, massive scaling would be a near impossibility without them. – me, a 25 year backed engineer

It makes absolute sense that a massively scalable trustless system involving money would use a consensus algorithm with a large number of nodes.

This reduces the threat of failure capitalists depend on for effective exploitation.

CEOs shouldn’t exist

Just throwing some thoughts out there

• fdisk shows /dev/sdc1 and mount doesn’t see it – did you perhaps unplug it and replug it causing potential renumeration?

• Use the dmesg command to watch Linux detect the device

• Use cat /proc/partitions to see the kernels view of storage devices

• Check out the /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/by-partlabel etc and see how the point to each other

e.g.

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 25 19:46 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root -> ../../sda2

Breaf – it’s what’s for dinner

Aww man! I have a big picture of Penzias and Wilson and their antenna in my living room. I always loved their story.

In a two person/two party race a comment denigrating one candidate effectively promotes the other (this is math, not my opinion).

Like, what was admiralshat’s purpose in making that comment? To make liberals look bad? Who does that benefit? Republicans, even though nobody mentioned them.

It it was a meaningless comment, it’s a real dangerous type of comment to make as we’re about to slide into fascism.

I got a pepperoni pizza like that once.

You get how those can both be true right?

A less pro-union or anti-union president would’ve also broke the railroad strike – and the UAW strike and whatever other stirke. You let perfection be the enemy of progress. You for some reason expect a Democrat to be a leftist and are upset when they’re not. The other guy is even more not leftist.

for people who might genuinely be afraid of the idea of homosexuality, maybe even struggling with their own sexuality

seems like autohomophobia would be the right word.
