Corporations are neither evil nor nice. They are indifferent. By design they only care about money, they don’t care about anything else.

This is exactly the same thing as cash. If you buy a major currency, like usd, euro, bitcoin, ethereum, etc, then it will be much more stable than some random currency. Would you trust a cash currency that was created by some random dude in an alleyway?

Cryptocurrency is basically like digital cash. No one can control how you spend it, or take it away. But you can’t undo transactions without tracking down the recipient, and getting them to give it back. If you don’t trust anyone, cash and crypto are the only real ways to pay for stuff.

The us has 3 energy grids: east coast, west coast, and texas. As long as don’t live in Texas, you shouldn’t have issues with electricity.

Having an unpopular opinion doesn’t make you a troll. We can argue good/bad opinion all we want. But calling someone a troll for disagreeing with you is just plain rude.

I said it’s relatively easy. Having both trust and anonymity online is significantly harder than in real life.

However, it is easier to pick one of those and have it online then in person. In real life, total anonymity is really hard. But online you can just use tor or something.

Hashing only works if the website stores their passwords correctly. If a single website you use doesn’t hash passwords correctly, and gets their database leaked, then your passwords will all be leaked. Changing a few characters per site may help a bit, but it shouldn’t be relied on.

Also, if you’re worried about the host shutting down, you should try bitwarden. It’s completely open source, and you can self host it if you want.

Because in real life, it’s (relatively) easy to have both anonymity and trust. Online, it’s impossible to have both. If you want to trust that the vote numbers haven’t been tampered with, you necessarily need to know everyone who voted.

This is the fundamental problem with online voting.

Even though it was ethically very bad, it was legal. And Reddit had a policy of not removing content, unless it was illegal or doxxing.

The fact is that they wanted to follow the same principles as the government, and allow complete freedom of speech. And if you are following freedom of speech, the ethicality of content is irrelevant.

Reddit never approved of r/jailbait. They simply allowed it.

He was forcefully added as a mod on the subreddit. Reddit used to have a system which allowed you to make someone mod without requiring them to accept.

Google Pixel 6. I upgraded from an iPhone 8 a year ago. I love how open the os is, letting me do a bunch more then what’s on the app store.

For headphones I have Soundcore Q30. They’re decent Bluetooth headphones, that were pretty cheap when I bought them.

I use Windows with WSL. I tried switching to Linux for over a month, but I had too many issues with Windows only apps.

I also love usb-c. Almost all my devices can charge using the same cords. The only exceptions are my laptop with a 200W brick, and my diabetes pump. Nothing I can do about those.
