They did the same during covid hysteria, when people would brigade-rate 1-star shops that forced customers to wear masks or vaccinate. This is not new.
For instance, when governments and businesses started requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccine before entering certain places, we put extra protections in place to remove Google reviews that criticize a business for its health and safety policies or for complying with a vaccine mandate.
I'm not the one shilling Yemen or China.
Across history, borders have been constantly changing and sovereignties have been created and destroyed. Yet I am being asked to accept the current arrangement as optimal and as if it were to be eternal.
It's not optimal (it sucks) and it will change (the only constant is change). People holding on to the current status quo are just hoping it holds until they die.
The Bhopal accident. I remember being horrified about how thousands of innocent people could be killed and injured just like that, without possibility of escaping, and how the managers could get away with such negligent behavior.
Yuka deciphers product labels and analyzes the health impact of food products and cosmetics.
I love it. Very good to find out about the toxic garbage in food and cosmetics and avoid it.
Also:
- Proton suite
- Hosted Alby Hub
- Primal Premium and a few paid Nostr relays.
- Mullvad and IVPN.
It's probably better in the long run. Download from the source instead of trusting their repositories.
Also, bitcoin/ln/nostr will get zaps from plebs (actual users) while those FOSS developers will gave to beg their overlords for fiat money.
LibertyX has not listed their ATMs on CoinATMRadar. So both figures can be true and nobody has to be lying.
I have used bitcoin ATMs in Europe. Once, the communications went down while I was still inserting the bills. I contacted support and they already knew the correct amount I had inserted. In a few hours they sent the bitcoin, no problem. They can be a bit pricey, but they are a good way to convert bitcoin to/from fiat in countries where they don't require identification.
Regarding scams, it's not really the ATM operator's fault, but usually they have prominent warnings displayed.
Maybe we are supposed to "succeed" in a different way. I wouldn't say that internet has "failed", even though the original cypherpunk ideals haven't been realized.
I know it's a difficult pill to swallow, but please don't blame the messenger.
I agree. But normies will use it anyway. And nobody can stop tether from using the bitcoin/lightning networks. I'm not saying that we should applaud them; just that we cannot stop them.
If usdt is going to be used no matter what, I'd much rather have that value being transmitted over the bitcoin/lightning network, than over fiat or shitcoin networks. The same way normies use HTTP and TCP/IP everyday, yet they have no clue what that is.
