I am finding I like Mastodon the best. Lemmy has potential, but I think the political extremism and lack of hobbyist culture here currently, mixed with the incredibly confusing on-boarding process beginners have to navigate, along with the name, all contribute to making it DOA.

If it isn’t Nick Szabo, it is somebody who has spent years ensuring all clues point to nobody but Nick Szabo, up to and including placing a Satoshi nakamoto statue in a rural Polish town where Nick Szabo’s grandfather was born.

Let’s just look at this logically: if you had written the 30+ papers building the ideas that eventually became bitcoin, actually were building bitcoin and months away from releasing, and then had all your work stolen without credit nor citation, you wouldn’t be the world’s biggest supporter of bitcoin. You would be mad that somebody stole your work and then spent years framing you for its creation.

The first usage of the word bitcoin was even on Nick Szabo’s own blog, under a comment by the user Eddie. This leads to two outcomes: Eddie is Satoshi, or Nick’s work wasn’t stolen, bit gold is bitcoin and Nick is Satoshi.

Honesrly: tokenboomer likely is all those accounts as well.

You will notice that anytime you respond to boomer with disagreement, multiple accounts will begin flooding you, and they all brave in and out of the conversations as if they are the ones who said things said by others.

You wouldn’t expect a paid professional to be so sloppy, but on the other hand, if he was good at his job, he wouldn’t be working for Hamas.

I like Cory Doctorow.

However, I bought the novel Rabbits solely because Doctorow had a front cover blurb praising the novel.

It was downright a bad novel. Doctorow owes me $16.

It’s truly not even a mystery.

There is only one person on earth who had both the skills and experience to create bitcoin, and actually was working to create bitcoin in the months leading up to the white paper.

That person is Nick Szabo.

Thanks! I will look into joining.

What can members of the community who can’t code help with?

I signed up to the main instance ran by the French company. It appeared that a single video hadn’t been uploaded in 2 years and I couldn’t find how to see videos from other instances.

The entire service needs a redesign if people are going to switch.

But my credit union is both more convenient and more secure than crypto.

I deserved you calling me a sheeple, Alex.

I am glad to see that in his personal bankruptcy, Alex Jones has decided to spend the free time here on Lemmy…

Welcome to have you, Ale, I can’t wait to hear more about the chicken fried steak that God talked to you through.

I think it is built using activitypub. Its essentially a mastodon server that has all incoming servers blocked.

I disagree.

We know what META is about and what they do. We came here because we didn’t want to be treated as products and used as experiments constantly watched by “AI algorithm”.

The smartest thing anybody ever said to me is, “don’t let a pimp have access to the battered woman’s shelter.”

Almost all of us are here because we have either always thought that, or grew to think that.

Piracy doesn’t take money from artists, just ask Cory Doctorow, a person making their living as a writer while uploading the torrents of his novels himself.

Corporate consolidation is what kills the artists. The studios make less movies per year, so the a list actors go to television and take the roles Rob Morrow used to get.

You made an offer likely knowing what content your mother consumed.

Also, doing this for her means those charlatans aren’t actually getting her money.

Something to consider in favor of doing your mom a solid.

Just make sure you out satanic films in the folder and rename them to Christian themed titles.

He was once asked what the first question he would ask a fully conscious AI. After about 3 minutes of silence, he said, “what’s on the other side of the simulation?”

Sure, it sounds like a smart question. Incredibly deep even. Only one problem: the AI is trapped in the same layer of reality we are.

Al Jazeera is the Qatar government. Not sure I have ever heard anybody classify Qatar as western before.

Huh.
