You're the asshole for expecting an open source project to have to spend all their time supporting every possible niche browser/configuration, rather than spending time building their actual product that people want to use.

When did USA illegally overthrow the democratically elected government of Australia?

Nothing to see here, just another "token based LLMs can't count letters in words" post

Sure but that ethnic group is only a tiny minority there now and their president isn't one of them

I think it's different in the EU

Only half of Liberians speak English, and less than 2% are native speakers. Calling it an English speaking country is a stretch

He's (probably accidentally) correct in this case, Joseph Boakai's first language is Kissi

I despise Trump more than most but this article is silly. Only about half of Liberians speak English, and less than 2% speak it as their first language. It's the official language because there are 31 different languages spoken in the country and they need something to be lingua franca so why not make it English for added international appeal. India is similar

donating online

Yeah i suppose any form of payment that you have to keep secret for some reason is a reason to use crypto, though I struggle to imagine needing that if you're not doing something dodgy

avoiding scams for p2p transactions

Wat. Crypto is not good at solving that, it's in fact much much worse than traditional payment methods. There's a reason scammers always want to be paid in crypto

boycotting the banking system

What specifically are you boycotting? The money that backs your crypto (i.e. that you bought it with) still sits in a bank account somewhere and continues to support the banks. All you're boycotting then are payments, but those are usually free for consumers (many banks lose money on them) so you're not exactly "sticking it to the man" by not using them. Evem if you were somehow hurting banks by using crypto, if you think the people that benefit from you using crypto (crypto exchange owners and billionaires that own crypto etc.) are less evil than goverment regulated banks, you're deluded.

What about avoiding international payment fees?

You'll spend more money using crypto for that, not less

Yes, doing illegal things secretly is a valid use case for crypto. So far, it's also the only one
