How is it insecure? Schnorr signatures and the txID system literally make it quantum resistant. Even if you cracked a transaction’s key, you’d only have access to already spent funds. Like a receipt instead of a debit card, with no certainty who has the money until they spend it.

Oh, and in terms of computational waste, the fiat backed inflation based currency system we have now, has incentivized a world of endless growth which isn’t sustainable. Switching to an asset with finite supply like Bitcoin would remove those incentives. There’s other costs to using deflationary assets, but if you actually value the environment, switching to Bitcoin would economically inventivize a world where people are encouraged to save more instead of spend more

This is an emotionally charged post, yet everyone you disagree with is secretly trying to influence everyone else? How the fuck are you going to compare people who like a type of software to literal Nazis? Anyone who relies on emotional arguments like that is clearly not a rationalist.

How do you achieve communism without authoritarianism? This sub says they like decentralization, but if you decentralize based on computers, how do you stop adversaries from performing a Sybil attack? How do we establish command and control for a decentralized network, without letting authoritarians seize that command and control? How do you establish a decentralized identity system, without also establishing a decentralized system for data management and governance?

Now, should a Blockchain be that? Maybe not, I’m not trying sell whatever to you. I get being annoyed by all the advertisers, but to go an extra step to say that the principles of cypherpunk is something to compare to Nazis, is just proof you care more about emotional arguments and setting narrative.

It’s Cypher punk, not Cyber punk. Ones a movie genre about swords and dystopian tech, ones a decentralized trustless protocol powered by encryption

I can add, podman was ignored in previous years at my day job because there were some reliability issues either with GPU access or networking I forget, however these issues have been resolved and we’re reimplementing it pretty much effortlessly

When Israelis couldn’t subjugate the city of Haifa, they completely destroyed it and built a new city with the same name on top.

Theyve been doing Hitler shit for decades, is it really the case that America’s longest, oldest war in the east is our most righteous?

I’m pretty one sided on this topic, and I’m sorry if my first comment was hyperbolic as well as one-sided. That said, Is what you’re saying:

If Israel starves Palestinians in a ghetto they can’t escape, that qualifies as Hitler shit

If so, then I have to ask if the process of Palestinians being forced into ghettos they can’t escape, in their own lands, qualifies as Hitler shit?

I truly think Israel has always been this cruel. The only thing that’s changed is it’s a lot harder to hide something from the Internet.

Also, not like 80 years of colonialism is that different from 100, but the colonies that eventually formed into the nation of Israel were called “British Palestine”. When Israel was formed in 1948, this was well after the UN had operated under the imperative that “[the recently discovered] Nukes are dangerous, but the new world order isn’t evil because we can use this power to preserve countries’ borders”

Also, I’m not saying anything nice about the Eastern block. I hold the opinion western intervention was okay in scenarios like Vietnam, because before capitalist imperialists and even communist imperialists, there were Japanese imperialists destabilizing that region

Well, it shouldn’t have been in your 2024 bingo card because it’s been a yearly ordeal for decades

Holy crap, now that you mention it, im pretty sure I’ve felt something similar from shrooms

Ruh roh, you just rattled the hive mind

Something something money something something materialism

Sports serve as a distraction for social issues. I would argue virtue signalling in that context has some real world impact

If anything, sports serve as a distraction to the general public so that issues can continue to be ignored

Hot boomer take ya got yourself there. Ya know, causing friction over the Internet is a form of protesting too?

I will say it is crazy how fast the parties have rotated policies

My dad used to listen to rush Limbaugh when I was a kid because for some reason he liked hating it so much. When Obama was president, the narrative was always anti Russia, pro defense like feds/CIA (“hard on crime”)

Then trump becomes president, and the party slowly shifts to pro Russian, and the liberal lefts that used to hate the feds/CIA are now more on the same page with those agencies

The same ones that are against traditional gender roles. I don’t think they’d argue for mandatory military service so much as no one should be forced to serve in a war

I can’t say much about this paper, but I like Sabine. She can be like judge Judy sometimes but I’d rather hear a hot take than a tepid one.

Friends of mine have complained how she’s strayed away from physics videos towards more general science. She can also be a little condescending towards string theorists’ research interests

Other people might get uncomfortable when it comes down to her videos on free will.

For this paper however, it seems Climate targets in recent years have been under estimating global warming and have to accelerate their models each year. She seems worried this opens up the possibility of 4-6C of warming.

It depends on the feminist, but feminism itself is actually pretty egalitarian

I think rust is a very pragmatic choice, lemmy is decentralized, the security benefits are a necessity when it comes to self hosters donating hardware

I love how you still can’t counter my point that what Israel is doing in the west bank is ethnic cleansing. You’re argument is honestly hilarious, I don’t even want to report it so more people can read how stupid you are

Unlike the West Bank

Unlike a specific case that completely proves my point? Palestinians have homes in the west bank and Israel is still colonizing that land
