You’re the one who said it was “almost sort of comparable” to the systems we already have, I was literally quoting you. Then you disagree with yourself? Argue with yourself then, you don’t need me.

The fact that one anonymous person could create a solution that “almost sort of make(s) it comparable to the systems we already have” is fucking amazing since all of humanity worked for like 70 years since the invention of the computer to create those systems.
He thinks we’re probably living in a simulation so logically killing people wouldn’t be morally wrong to him.
Bitcoin is a great alternative to something like Western Union that charges high transaction fees. It’s time to transmit is comparable to a traditional back wire, but days faster than an EFT.
Everybody knows Bitcoin is too slow to process point of sale transactions on-chain but there are other Blockchain solutions that can do it. Another user mentioned the lightning network which still actually is Bitcoin but it’s another layer.
Also, I’ve just ignored the environmental impact of Bitcoin, which probably needs to move away from proof of work, or some other solution is required to lower the every requirements.
Bitcoin isn’t good for making little purchases, firstly because it takes so long to get confirmations, if each block is 10 minutes and you need like 3 blocks to consider it confirmed that’s 30 minutes. But that ties into the second issue which is that you probably don’t want millions of tiny transactions on the Blockchain, you want them processed off-chain and then settled in bulk (to the Blockchain) periodically as a single transaction.

Or they know someone who bought a cyber truck. Passengers who accepted a ride. Children or family members who have no control over what the buyer does. Be realistic
Innocent people are being killed. Not really something to celebrate.

I heard that they keep coming back because your efforts to swat at them were clumsy and never a real threat
I think you mean you actually like frame generation even though you seem to be jokingly comparing it to motion smoothing on a TV?
The doctors look down at my boner and ask what I’m going to name it. “Hank or Clarissa” I say.
For me motion clarity is so important. I love frame generation, especially if frames are getting inserted without much delay.

Hahahaha
You can list a hundred negative aspects of present day PC use like this article does, but it totally ignores improvements and positive aspects. Like yeah you could use word 95 without it contacting a Microsoft server but office 95 compared to office 2010 or later is like a night and day difference.
They mention DRM and say it’s gotten bad in the last decade but DRM has been terrible for the last 25 years. You used to buy a music CD (in like 2003) and put it in the computer and you couldn’t play it because of DRM.
It’s just not a balanced article. I actually think they have a lot of good content here and they make some good points but they shoehorned all these things to fit their conclusion and there’s no counter-point.
Edit: it’s just factually incorrect that “The PC is dead” You have DJs making electronic music, artists painting, PC Gaming, You can manage your finances, keep photo albums, and basically anything they are being romantic about in this article is just a talking point, I could argue counter points for almost every paragraph. Things are better than they were. Email barely worked, always getting flooded with spam because there weren’t any spam filters. Devices weren’t plug and play, they were very difficult to get working. So what if there are garbage products on Amazon or wherever, that doesn’t make the point the author is pretending that it makes.
We do need privacy rights and right to repair like the author says, but there have always been things to fight for. Maybe I’m just missing the point- since 2001 people have been saying “I won’t use .Net!” Because everyone was worried that office suite would run in a web browser or wherever and people thought the PC was dead, we’d all be using terminal sessions instead (where you just see the remote desktop not the computing is done on a server somewhere else). The point the author is making isn’t any more true today than it was 20 years ago, it’s not a new point, it’s something people have always agreed with. But the PC is not dead.
You know he just wants that check. How much is he being paid?
The 1920s picture is the one suffering from losing what they had. The 2020s picture never had a chance but is still strong.
Yeah 1000% is 10x but they were charged 11x what they should have paid. Overcharged by (over) 10x.
Oh wow I haven’t looked in a while, they don’t sell speakers anymore. That’s crazy, I didn’t know.
Edit: they were bought by DTS
This is what you wrote, I was literally quoting you. I didn’t even summarize what you said, I just copied and pasted it:
“It’s been great watching Bitcoin grow from this digital currency for buying drugs online to having all these layers added on to almost sort of make it comparable to the systems we already have.”
