Remember that murders have been pinned on innocents for a long time. With your logic, we would have condemned Barry George to death for the murder of Jill Dando, despite it turning out he was innocent.
I mean...of course they have a roadmap. They had a roadmap well before the first unit. Their work and investment in Proton wasn't just for desktop Linux users.
True, but they got discontinued because they weren't selling, long after the market itself had given up on the product. It's not exactly like Sega where they came up with a bunch of platforms only to cancel them after a few years.
Dude, being privacy oriented was not where you fucked up.
You fucked up by lying to her and coming up with some half assed cover story rather than just saying 'i don't really use it.' That is bullshit behaviour, makes you look extremely untrustworthy, and would end in her rejecting you no matter your stance on traditional social media.
You are confusing social life activity with social media engagement activity.
Heya folks, some people online told me I was doing partitions wrong, but I’ve been doing it this way for years. Since I’ve been doing it for years, I could be doing it in an outdated way, so I thought I should ask....
Oh fuck off. Russia is committing cultural genocide and is constantly bombing civilian targets. Russia thinks nothing of bombing hospitals or other civilian infrastructure. The only reason the Ukrainians are not also being crammed into a strip is because Russia's military hasn't been capable of doing that.
bit wait, I do remember another differentiator. Dying light heavily discouraged frequent use of guns, preferring you to use melee. If you used guns too much, it would spawn in a bunch of 28-day-later zombies that would absolutely fuck your shit up in groups.
And sure, shoot at the fucker that's a threat to you. That's no justification to shoot at persons 2 and 3 that had similar belief systems but wasn't shooting at you.
You’re not going to stop the nazis in the spring of 1933, you would have needed to kill them in the 20s, a decade before they came to power.
Except such thinking was how we got the Nazis in the first place. Hitler co-opted unions and parties who were extremised by such responses, and these were the basis of the Nazi party.
Sounds like you don't have a definition either. The problem with a loose definition of fascism is it gets used to justify lots of atrocities. Putin used it as a justification for invading Ukraine, for example.
Ah yes, because violence people who think differently to you has never led to extremism and said violence being returned to you...apart from the many, many times that it has.
Seriously, if you think that initiating violence against right wingers is going to lead to anything except right wing extremists using violence on everyone else, you really need to look at your history books again.
No, you said right wing in the context of Spain, of which there has been only one single incident since the 1980s, and no one was hurt or killed in that singular instance.
The national police did nothing wrong during the catalan referendum and riots.
Wasn't a far-right thing.
No politicians are advocating for the genocide of refugees by sending them back to the opressive regimes they’re escaping from.
Executing politicians would not solve this. It would instead make the anti immigration crowd violent.
No politicians are advocating for the genocide of queer people by spreading harmful retoric that leads them to suicide.
Spain is one of the world leaders in LGBTQ+ freedom. There is too much pro LGBTQ+ support here to make this a viable campaign platform. Making martyrs out of anti LGBTQ+ politicians will boost support for anti LGBTQ+ stances, not lower it.
There are no apologists of the Franco regime in the government.
And those government officials are about as popular as holocaust deniers at a bah mitzvah. Franco apologism is literally illegal here.
yeah because using the state’s police to violently attack people that are literally just going to vote doesn’t sound fascist at all
If you cannot tell the difference between a far right reaction and a reaction to an impending seccesion, you might be an idiot. The mere fact that you call an attempt at secession 'just going to vote' tells me you know fuck all about what went on.
Spoiler alert: an unauthorized attempt at seccesion will end in the use of force in just about any country. Not to say that I don't think the Catalans should have a shot at independence, but your painting the actions of the Spanish government as far right violence is ... Incredibly fucking stupid.
Just the fact that they’re trying to do this already makes them violent.
If you cannot tell apart anti immigration rhetoric from actual violence, you might be an idiot. Or extremely sheltered.
So we should let fascists that want to completely eliminate queer people from our society have political power because mmm violence so scary?
If you cannot tell the difference between 'let them yell into a nearly empty room' and 'let them kill all the LGBTQ+', you might be an idiot.
Even if they aren’t popular, they’re there, and nothing’s being done about it.
Because the people with these views aren't doing shit with them. Thus there isn't much to punish for.
It definitely has waned. Before the Ukraine war, nobody wanted to poke the bear that is Russia, not even the UK after Russia committed murder on their soil. Now, several countries see Russia as a paper tiger.
Tell me you don't understand what you're talking about without saying you don't understand what you're talking about. It really sounds like you only get your info about crypto from headlines.
To go through each of your points:
There are plenty of stable coins that are stable, such as USDC. Many of them exist for a multitude of different purposes.
Non stable coins also can have different uses. Reddit, for example, had its own coin for a while, and Ethereum exists to allow for programmatic transactions (ie: you pay a program to do something, and it'll get done)
While it is true that laws around crypto are nowhere near as mature, as they are very new, crypto offers its own consumer protection advantages over fiat. For example, as an attacker it's a metric fuck ton harder to get into a crypto wallet than it is to get into a bank account.
What makes you think fiat currencies aren't controlled in the same way?
Pick one. Both cannot be true at the same time. While it is true most crypto uses a publicly available ledger, you can only start tracing purchases when you know the identities of the ones holding the accounts. This is muuuuch easier said than done, especially given how easy it is to simply make new accounts with zero identifying info attached to them.
If you're the kind to fall for Nigerian Prince scams, you're fucked regardless if you used fiat or crypto. Banks will not refund you over payments you yourself sent.
For now. All the stable coins that failed were stable until they weren’t. What incentive is there to actually providing that kinda service, if you won’t make money with it?
This is the nature of all emerging technologies. The internet itself went through a similar phase in the late 80s up until the early 2000s. Remember Gopher? NetBeanz?
NFTs. SAY THEIR NAME
I didn't say NFTs because I wasn't talking about NFTs. I was talking about smart contracts. They are two very seperate things.
This is why I say you don't understand what you're talking about and only get your info from headlines.
And remember what a resounding success Wolf Game was?
A shitty flash-style game who's only defining feature is having a blockchain. What of it?
It's not like the regular videogame industry started with Super Mario Bros either.
As a hobbyst programmer I can tell you there isn’t an idea dumber that putting code into something immutable, that you have to destroy, create anew, rename the new thing you made to the old one, while paying for each step of the process, just so that you can fix a bug is a terrible idea
And yet people wrote immutable code all the time in the 80s and 90s. Many people didn't have internet back then, so the only ways to get patches out reliably would be extremely expensive.
Also: it's not like bug fixing traditional apps is free either.
So a quick round: 3&6 social engineering is far more common than simply hacking your account. So no, it’s the opposite.
Again, if someone socially engineers you into sending money, you're shit out of luck when dealing with fiat currencies too.
If you're worried about someone divulging a password and hoping 2FA could catch them, there are hosted exchanges like Coinbase for that. If your person is the kind to give 2FA codes too, again, you're just as fucked in fiat environments; banks do not cover that shit.
Banks will only cover fraud incidences that you can't reasonably be blamed for, like your card details being exposed because a website got hacked. They leave you high and dry when it comes to social engineering.
5- I gave you an example where someone would know your identity - if you’re using it in a non-anonymous context, like getting paid.
If you're that worried, just make another crypto wallet, send the money to that and then make your purchase. Your employer doesn't know who owns that other account. If you're really worried about traceability, use BitTornado, and any would-be hobbyist investigator is fucked.
4- Financial policy is decided by elected representatives. Corruption is an issue, but in crypto it’s built-in.
Cute that you think corruption in fiat isn't part of the design. You do know how, for example, the federal reserve in US works, right?

If they're machines with ARM CPUs playing x86 games, they have to translate CPU instructions from x86 to ARM before they can execute it. That puts considerable strain on the CPU, especially on top of running the game itself.
It would also murder any battery gains you'd hope to gain from switching to ARM.
It's not entrapment because she wasn't convinced, coerced or forced by law enforcement to try and hire a hitman from that site; she did so entirely willingly and without intervention from law enforcement.
To use the entrapment defence, the defendant has to prove law enforcement had a hand in getting them to do something they otherwise wouldn't have done.
