You didn't just say Bitcoin has no unit smaller than sats, you are also saying you will do what you can to keep it that way. You will make sure Bitcoin doesn't scale.
So to you, Bitcoin is about propping up a new oligarchy. Not freedom, not hope for the future, not self sovereignty, just a few million elite and billions of servants who can pick between millions of masters.
I may very well create my own shitcoin, if this becomes true and a decade of nothing to change it follows.
When my node activates the next soft fork, I will not blink at the knowledge that OP is not joining us.
I'm getting second hand embarrassment reading this article.
Interesting. I logged into my gmail with the NixOS build of librewolf and got a windows 10 sign in alert.
Some browsers tell the website this information, some browsers lie about this information. Librewolf is one of the browsers that lie. There might be some technical nuance about the tabs being containerized in a windows container even though I'm using a linux machine or something, but from what I've gathered so far, it lies to websites to make you as the user seem less unique and more generic. Its a good privacy tactic, but its just me. I just want it to tell people I'm on Linux so that eventually marketing strategies adjust to a wider trend of wider linux adoption.
I (perhaps controversially) don't like that librewolf tells websites my machine is a Windows machine. I want those bastards to know I'm based.
I disagree actually with the idea that Bitcoin is DEI. Bitcoin doesn't discriminate, Bitcoin treats everyone equally, and that is why it is NOT DEI.
Because DEI doesn't mean "don't discriminate". It actually means to discriminate in such a way that corrects for majority discrimination against minorities.
Whereas DEI stands for:
Diversity
Equity
Inclusion
Consider this common meme (which in this example has been expanded upon) which demonstrates the difference between equity and equality.
Lets role play that my Epitaph wasn't written by me or my family.

Bitcoin was in a timelocked multi-signature wallet. The new owners of the Bitcoin are unknown and at large
Famous last words:
'It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.'"
He is in fact wrong. The reason that they are wrong is because of this annoying (to them) thing called etymology, not because the government said so lmao
My advice to myself would have been "Those guys saying new cryptocurrency will make Bitcoin obsolete, are lying scammers, and don't buy that $2,000 TA course, just DCA"
I'd also dash in some philosophy about social constructs and how people don't treat social constructs they way they treat tech. People aren't changing their money because another money has a better technology, there's more to it than that.
I recommend using cryptomator over relying on sandboxed remote code execution as a feature (javascript) to encrypt your stuff. Yes you can verify it, but you have to verify it every time you reload the browser.
The good news is, the code you've already written can still be adapted into an app. Just loaded locally rather than from a webserver every time you refresh the page.
As of right now, I would personally basically consider your site to be a honeypot that is trying to rely on time to relax a userbase before changing out the code one day. Nothing personal.
SimpleX has been pretty good from what I've seen, but I think people are more interested in actually using Signal over SimpleX for some reason. Haven't explored a lot of NOSTR based messaging apps to be honest.

Hmm that's actually a good point.
Take your favorite proprietary software application, decompile the binary, share it around and post it on github and experience for yourself how much that application creator cares about their license in the form of a lawsuit.
Even though the makers of ublock origin have too many people to sue to enforce the GPL on their code, they passed up an opportunity with not suing honey. People were angry enough at that one to actually donate to a lawsuit.
So yes people care, you might be exposed to a lot of people who don't care, but a lot of people care a lot.

Its clearly just a "Look what people are saying about us on popular social media sites"
Your logo is actually a hyperlink: https://stacker.news/search?q=tollgate
If you click on the SN logo, it shows stacker news posts about tollgate.
Have you ever torrented before? On a technical level torrenting is the most efficient way to share any file p2p, but it was especially popular before netflix for movie pirating. So yes this project uses torrenting.
Oh so the point of centralization with torrenting is the initial peer finding stage (if memory serves). I forget what the host that tells you who all the peers are is called.
