That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

- Comment on Former Apple designer Sir Jony Ive has said he feels “responsible” for the “not so positive consequences” of the iPhone. 1 week ago:
I am not belittling the impact of the smartphone, just being critical of the positioning around iPhone bringing “liberation” and “empowerment”. It has the capability to do that, but it also has the capability to enable less positive things.
There are also some inconsistencies in your story.
The iPhone launched without an app store and the app store concept existed even before iOS/Android.
From my experience living in developing countries, work type use cases do not use iPhones. If anything in developing countries an iPhone is exclusively a status symbol.
Claiming the iPhone alone was what got hundred millions of people out of poverty is a ridiculous statement. There are so many other factors at play here.
- Comment on Former Apple designer Sir Jony Ive has said he feels “responsible” for the “not so positive consequences” of the iPhone. 1 week ago:
Sounds like an oligarch propaganda piece.
How has the iPhone contributed to empowerment and liberty? It’s a technology tool that can be used for both good and bad things. There is nothing “inherent” about smartphones that leads to empowerment and liberty.
And I don’t think he gives a shit about anything beyond his financial position and maintaining his social status and legion of fanboys.
- Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? 1 week ago:
You don’t need to write a paper or even provide links.
If you actually had a legitimate arguement (and weren’t just parroting copytext that you don’t really understand beyond “I think it makes me look cool and independent”), you would have been able to summarize it in a few sentences in your own words.
This is not rocket science.

And if you’re incapable of presenting your message even with a modicum of nuance, and you’re forced to revert to comical parroting of what is essentially political spam, then what you’re saying is almost certainly complete BS.
Try and promote what you’re saying in a nuanced way. You won’t be able to. We both know this!
Prove me wrong! ;)

So what that you’re a leftist?
You were taking about “educating me” and the best you can come up with is a standard copytext that spammed everywhere?
At least come up with something new and interesting not the standard word salad about the Federal Reserve.
- Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? 1 week ago:
Did you really think I haven’t heard of this copytext? It’s pretty standard spam, no?
This is not a real thing, it’s more about acting out and tantrums. You don’t care or understand about the issues you describe.
With the right oligarch propaganda, you can be trained to claim that spicy mayonnaise is limiting freedumz and shiiiit!!!

I don’t know if you know this, but in many places obsession over central banks is simply not a thing. Maybe you need some real problems in your life? It would hell you gain perspective.
And btw, the World Bank isn’t actually a world a bank in the literal sense of the world.

Nice rant. A very provincial take I must I add.

Brave has investments from A16Z, a VC fund that has been involved in multiple pump and dumps and shoes founders are fundamentally opposed to democracy and human rights.

First sign of crypto and I am out. I would speculate that true of a lot of people in the Fediverse.
From my perspective, there are only two use cases for crypto 1. Criminal activity 2. Pump and dumps

Something along the lines of a monthly donation model, perhaps with a nominal “pro” system. A badge to showing that you donate and how many years you’ve been donating (users can disable display of such badges if they want).
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 1 week ago:
I could see XMR being less manipulated on a relative basis, but all of crypto is far far more manipulated than any fiat (even of small country of say 3 million people). Because rela currency reflect real economic activity that spans a broad range of use cases.
Yeah, I don’t believe in edgelord type stuff. You do want the government to be able to freeze the money of criminals and malicious oligarchs.
You don’t need Monero (or crypto) to solve the databroker issue. It’s a matter of expectations,vstandards and law enforcement. And you know that Monero won’t solve the data collection issue. The products you purchase aren’t on a blockchain platform and they interact with the real world, therefore you can make a dataset for tracking of them.
Don’t look at people’s profiles.

Don’t see what I need this to buy groceries. Shilling bags as I said originally.
I don’t believe in [1], crypto market are heavily manipulated.
[2] and [3] are not desirable in my view. Don’t forget, not everyone lives in the US and many people have experience and perspectives that likely you haven’t though of.
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 1 week ago:
Shilling your bags as usual. Crypto-scammers are all so predictable.
Why in god’s name do you need monero to buy groceries or even computer parts?

Try getting in touch with the admin of sopuli.xyz. He is supposed to be from Finland.
I’ve seen that instance recommended for European users.
Good luck with your move! We need to get rid of American oligarch influence. They are corrupt, dishonest and lack humanity.
