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.
The communists here are doing it for free.
… i don’t even know how to respond to that because I’m not sure if itself is a response to what I said.
Chain grocery stores don’t really allow individual branches to all follow different policies.
Somebody walks the aisles at 10 pm every night scanning the out of stocks.
Somebody who is sexually attracted to the same sex but doesn’t to through with it is not 100% straight.
It’s at least 15% gay.
You think the guy who has a fake account which posts as if it was a loser pretending to be Elon for attention has that much self reflection?
If voting against fascism isn’t good enough, what do you suggest?
Because brawling in the streets against guys who live in trailer parks hasn’t worked either.
The trans furry communists of Lemmy hacked the heritage foundation just days before the attempt on Trump’s life. While they would love to investigate both at the same time, they don’t have the man power.
The agencies have no choice but to investigate in the order the crimes happen. So right wingers, your follow up acts of terrorism should be investigated some time in the first quarter of twenty-twenty-never.
I seem to remember that being the central premise of Vance’s own previous statements as well.
Did JD Vance inspire a Pennsylvanian incel to try to assassinate Trump?
In the current context, blue no matter who is the only appropriate in response to the opposition being literal fascists.
Unbunch your undies.
In the current context, blue no matter who is the correct position.
There is no reason to assume that the person was stating blue no matter who regardless of all other future and hypothetical situations which are not currently relevant."
What is Blue MAGA?
Campaign finance laws ensure it can’t be anybody but Harris. If Harris can’t win an election against Trump, yet Biden might, we have to vote Biden for a Kamala presidency.
My response to that would be that in 2020 he had the weakest campaign and still had the majority of voters rally behind him.
The person with the second most support in the party is just as old and is continuing to endorse Biden.
Anybody but Harris at the top of the ticket as a replacement means whoever gets the nomination will have a billion dollar deficit in running against Trump, meaning they have no shot at winning (seeing that they would be running against the only person in modern history who has won an election despite raising less money).
If Biden’s mind is as bad as we think it is, Kamala has been acting as president. She’s been a fairly good president, all things considered.
If Biden can’t win this, nobody in the roster can.
2 gigs is not a lot.
If that is truly their plan, they are dumber than we fucking figured.
If a billionaire wants to buy a swimming pool, he needs a considerable amount of other people to be able to afford swimming pools or it it becomes impossible for him to get one at all eventually.
To have a swimming pool, there needs to be an industry of specialized labororers who can manufacture and install. There has to be electricians who specialize in mixing water and electricity. There has to be people working the factories where the chlorine gets manufactured and bottled.
This is true for every product that billionaires consume. You really gotta think that these people with all this wealth would have people on the payroll pointing this out to them.
