I agree, that's a big issue. The US regime hires people to influence the Wikipedia organization, they choose the "reliable news sources", mark some news outlets as fake news, and they edit articles about wars and so on to disseminate their propaganda. Also, the PATRIOT Act... As I wrote a couple months ago, we should end digital colonialism.

Scientific articles about math and stuff like that are fine.

Yeah, fucking crazy frog

Mi tradukis tiun enkondukan retejon al Esperanto.

Fakte, en pluraj landoj, preskaŭ ĉiuj uzas debetkartoj. Do, oni ne devas pagi pli ol la veran koston de la varoj…

Kiam mi diras «kartoj», mia intenco estas mencii ambaŭ. Mi komprenas la diferencon kaj konsentas kun vi, ke debetkatoj pli bonas.

ĉu ĝi vere diras ke oni devus ne pagi niajn Impostojn?!

Jes. Tamen, mi respektas vian opinion kaj dankas vin pro la komento.

It is not clear how much money Lapsus$ has made from its cyber-crimes. No companies publicly admitted paying the hackers and the hackers did not provide the passwords to seized cryptocurrency wallets.

They won't provide the wallet passwords, that's the key part.

He will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger.

Is this even legal?

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.

Well, that's impressive, but I wouldn't ever hack on closed-sourced stuff through the clearnet, now they have legal proof against them. That stuff logs everything.

Rockstar Games alone told the court that the hack cost it $5m to recover from plus thousands of hours of staff time.

$5m from what? For publishing footage of a video game?

Done! ;)

I found out that Thinkpenguin offers to disable Intel ME for you if you pay $30. I asked another European vendor if they could do that for me if I pay more, because it seems difficult to do that on my own.

Ekzistas la Ĉina Interreta Informa Centro (en Esperanto), tie vi povas legi novaĵojn el ĉina (oficiala) vidpunkto. Ankaŭ estas artikolo en Vikipedio pri la Esperanto-movado en Ĉinio, Vjetnamio, ktp.

Mi opinias, ke ili preferus Esperanton al la angla, ĉar Esperanto estas multe pli simpla.

Mia konto tie estas https://esperanto.masto.host/@jorgesumle

En https://sopuli.xyz/c/esperanto estas pli aktiva Esperanto-diskutejo ;)

Lingvo apartenas al la identeco de komunumo. Lingvaĵo apartenas al la identeco de individuo.

That is an opinion piece with scare tactic language

We should be scared about spyware.

There still exists closed source software that functions on an ethical business model.

Closed source software is unethical.

Look, a closed-source project might be not malware, but they could easily become malware pushing an update. You are never safe. Unethical business models must be destroyed. By the way, we should destroy Google.

Schon 4 % 😀

Software can still respect your privacy and can be Closed Source.

Proprietary Software Is Often Malware.

developer or company of developers can remain in their jobs to continue development and refinement of said software.

There are many ways to earn money with free software.

People used currencies before the existence of central banks. They used gold, silver, etc. We don't need central banks, they are a cancer that create inequalities and inflation. The fact that securing a decentralized proof-of-work network requires energy doesn't mean that it's a waste. You can also buy food, housing and clothing with cryptocurrencies.

El Salvador keeps buying more Bitcoin and lots of people keep using it as a currency there.

You can use Bitcoin to buy food and small things as well. No, actually scammers and criminals are among the minority of people that use Bitcoin. Many people use Bitcoin for their daily needs.

It’s a hassel to move large amounts of money from one country to another because the stakes are so high and everyone involved wants to make sure it is done properly.

Stakes are high? I don't think so. The problem is politicians, the hundreds of worthless currencies that exists and the expensive banking cartel with its high fees. People should have the freedom to move their money as they wish, because it's their money.

You can actually buy houses using Bitcoin, I don't understand why you wouldn't do that.

Well it isn’t protected from rapid deflation.

Bitcoin is deflationary by design, but that's an advantage, not a problem. It's like saying that gold is bad, because it's worth more and more every year.

all the advertisements presenting it as an “investment”

It has been one of the best returning investments since its birth. Even Black Rock and many other companies consider it as a great investment.

Also, I’m not sure who needs to move large quantities of money across the globe. I just want to exchange money for his it services.

Believe it or not, there are rich people who need to move large quantities of money to buy houses, to buy land, etc. You can also buy small things with Bitcoin, of course.

It won't crash to zero as long as there is a computer mining that supports the network. Normies that talk about the environmental impacts of cryptocurrencies don't understand.

How many wars were created over fiat currencies and the power plays of politicians and central bankers?

Fiat currencies are inflationary, so they encourage economic growth (at what cost? At whose expense?). That inflation also attenuates the indebtedness of states, it is like an invisible tax against the poor and the financially uneducated.

There are cryptocurrencies that are trash, that don't provide privacy, etc., but you can't tar everything with the same brush. Moreover, the environmental impact is minimal compared to fiat currencies. There are cryptocurrencies that pollute more than others, of course. For those who care more about the environment, there are cryptocurrencies that do not use proof-of-work algorithms.
