And we can never make cars 100% safe. That doesn't mean we shouldn't care about seat-belts, airbags, ABS and crumple zones.

Just because we can't make the danger zero, doesn't mean we shouldn't do the bare minimum to mitigate the danger.

You can revert it to a older version though.

With most cars you flash the ECU with software using a diagnostic tool, if you don't like the new version you can just flash a older version on there.

Or in many cases modify it and flash your custom version.

You don't have that control if it's all Internet dependant, and there's no kill switch.

Never had anyone tell me this, I very clearly have ADHD

Yea it smells like BS to me, the electric delivery vehicles are a delight. I welcome more of them

Haven't seen that happen yet and I cycle everywhere, where do you encounter this? What delivery vehicle in particular

Amazing I really hope these all just become USB-C

Hope they make shavers etc also change with USB-C

I have 3 shavers, all of them use a different special cable -_-

It's essentially reddit but, decentralised like email, aka. you don't have one entity controlling all email.

It's user focused and free from corporate overlords, it's a lot friendlier, kinda feels like the old Internet

Is it much easier than TrueNAS?

I went with TrueNAS because it's open-source, and it's been smooth sailing.

(I just use it as a NAS, nothing more)

No idea, but I wish the put this level of energy into ending the two party system.

Until the two party system is fixed America won't get better

I don't understand the point you were trying to make in the message I responded to.

I fail to see the benefit Crypto brings us. It gives us some desensitisation, but we already have that, I can open bank accounts in different counties, even have secret bank accounts etc.

So do we just not stop crime?

We need some concentration of power as long as there are checks and balances to keep them in place.

The police in the Netherlands have a concentration of power. But they can't abuse that power because other powers keep them in place.

You want a separation of powers holding each other accountable.

No concentration of power is just anarchy

I'm on firefox with uBlock, will look into adding the others

I still don't see what bitcoin solves?

Sure it's decentralized and transparent and all those things, but how does that benefit us? And is it worth ~5% the household electricity usage per transaction?

You say people shouldn't keep all their money in an exchange, should they protect it themselves then? People aren't tech literate and old people will DEFINITELY get scammed out of their crypto.

Someone can break into your house, hold a gun to your head and make you transfer your whole life savings to them. Traditional banks protect against this, you will get your money back if someone does this.

Can I take a mortgage in crypto?

Again, what problems does bitcoin solve? It creates many so it better be something good
