It’s very entertaining

No. It was just a cult of science and technology instead of real understanding of it. Some kind of naive belief that no matter what, the direction is only up and even accelerating. It was like being a sciencey golden retriever

I remember this mindset when I was 17. Unwavering faith in the unlimited human potential. Head loaded with science fiction didn’t even need drugs. Ray kurzweil. Longevity escape velocity. Flying cars.

Kindly thank you

Is this legit? Is this site trustworthy? Do you have maybe another source?

Why is .ml bad?

Ugh I hate all these subscription paywalls nowadays. Internet is so far from the initial ideals

It’s pennies but if I had to track every subscription and there would be hundred… It should be covered at ISP somehow as optional news network^tm

Probably give milion to someone that really needs it in person and to see how they react.

Money is just such an overrated thing to pursue. Sure you can try to drown your worries in it, try to escape but the happiness is always inside

I have my stats disabled usually cause they kind of manipulate my emotions and views and what is correct or not.

Better to focus on the factual content of the comment or post than on the up or down points.

Reddit was really bad about this because you constantly had a number to your name and it was addicting to score them points and defeated the point of normal discussion.

Thank you! I may have created this post to rather quickly and crudely check the local narrative which I see aligns with the mainstream. That means lemmy is doing pretty great nice to see

Hey by the way because I am admittedly quite green. Do you have anything other worth advocating from the same vein? You know decentralized, hard to shut down, privacy focused. I am sure there is ton of things I haven’t heard about

Eh who cares about these cryptoschemes really i mean yeah I can understand that. They always were stinking of fraud

Shitcoins they were called iirc

I only love crypto because it evades facist gov. Seems more and more needed as time goes on

But then imo we are heading into cyberpunk reality

Maybe that’s the only use case but it is fucking good at it. Amazingly good

Besides cash could be removed by govs to ‘protect us’

And obviously cash cannot be used over distance

Cryptography gives power to the people. US even wanted cryptography banned at some point but it turned out not feasible so they pretended they changed mind

Lemmy is another thing that gives me hope in the future

Okay but this is the price for true freedom vs police state

Crypto is absolute true freedom <3

Monero is the greatest invention since internet to fuck govs and corps in the butt and if you burn yourself sometimes as a side effect, it isn’t too great of a price.

Doing the illegal stuf is the main greatest purpose. Idk why everyone thinks illegal equates evil automatically but it is a flawed worldview.

It is just a tool like guns or hacking

I absolutely love it and this is my love letter to it

It is an anarchism heaven, I love it

No regulations, no control. Decentralized

I think it is a good time to gdpr request my tweet data

I almost got stuck in an infinite loop do you want to crash me
