I put my dick in the future and it came out more rotund but less grandiose, so i have the conclude the future is Maricopa county, as they grow wide, not tale. Gross amd quidditch corsackage.
Driving murder machine
I do not murder any more nore can ai drive so I font appreciate this dialogue taserts.
Probably modern electric drums.
Play them like the wind winds them
Mixtape
Automatic sidewalk blocker
I eat those
But srsly to me it does feel like the future, because when I was a kid “by the year 2000” was synonymous with a glorious future of space hotels, undersea cities, moon bases… I can’t believe we’re a quarter of the way through the 21st Century and none of that has happened. On the plus side we did get really spiffy new ways to buy stuff we don’t need with money we don’t have, and fingertip access to pretty much all of human knowledge, which most of us ignore and just entertain ourselves. But oh well.
Yeah, because you were thinking of all the ways technology could have been awesome, while what they were working on was making it funnel all the world’s wealth to a handful of people.
Fucked up thing is some of that has happened, but you need to have been born into generational wealth to be a part of those things. Ritchie Ricn is just moralisticly better version of Musk. Or at least a version less hooked on coach K
I was or into a generational wealth, as all Americans are do is, as it be in the moder. Day As each rockers the splith, they know egar cons don’t say sme k and I know that’s how they control the hammock, so I swing it do is dee, that’s sby i’m like this.
Every time someone posts this meme, I feel compelled to add “forums for communists”.
You forgot femboys and linux users
Big Tech made Lemmy so that communists wouldn’t organize in real life
Nah, infighting always works best.
I think your priorities are in the wrong place if you think about “forums for communists” instead of “telegram channels with incel nazis”.
I interpreted it as them mentioning lemmy (since lots of lemmy users are communists or socialists of some flavor), but if they meant to complain I agree with you completely
The former. Being subversive doesn’t imply it’s bad.
Now I feel compelled to ask: Do you this meme is seriously asking for opinions on subversive innovations? Because I interpreted it as asking what is the most dystopian.
It was, but tech lawlessness swings both ways, or has so far, and it’s worth mentioning.
I took it as the poll itself, and the results, being entirely irrelevant. They just decided to use that as the format/delivery mechanism for their joke.
It appears to me that the meme is complaining about tech breaking laws, not soliciting opinions. In case this needs to be said, I’m using Lemmy because of its ability to resist (legal!) censorship, especially of long-overdue leftist speech.
And I hope you would agree nazis killing people are more dystopian than fucking larpers.
But then the poll would make little sense, because forums for communists would win with 99.97% of votes…
I wish the average person was as open minded as you’re giving them credit.
Fake money for criminals helped me buy weed when I didn’t have a local dealer. It’s also how I pay for Mullvad. So fake money for criminals wins.
Fake money for criminals is unironically a decent addition to the world, although it’s coded in a really dumb way. Plagiarism machine is overhyped right now, but it also has some legit uses.
So, the poll actually seems about right.
Fake criminal money more legit than government money. One day I woke up to the news that all my deposits are frozen indefinitely, that I am not allowed to carry cash abroad, and that I am not allowed to get bank accounts or transfers from any foreign institutions. .Thank fuck for crypto and that I had some. It literally saved my life, so yeah, fake criminal money by a long shot for me.
Selfhost instance on .ru
Checks out. Hows the outlaw life?
I miss when that was what the fake money was for instead of the bullshit broligarch grift.
Bubbles always burst eventually, just wait for it.
Although, without the grift, it would be super illegal, so should we really complain?
I demand privacy, so I’m a criminal anyways
Crypto is not privacy.
Depends how you use it. And which coin - before Q day comes Monero is pretty private, but Bitcoin is transparent.
depends. not universally, that’s right. don’t buy dogecoin for privacy.
Also depends on your definition of privacy. Some people confuse privacy (not seeing what you do) with anonimity (not knowing who you are).
Public blockchains (like BTC) have zero privacy, as everyone sees the transactions and balances, meanwhile private ones (like XMR) supposedly avoid anyone but two people in a transaction to know that transaction happened, or even to know each other’s balance.
In both cases, I would say you are as anonymous as your way to turn the coin from/into fiat is (P2P, KYC or non-KYC platforms, etc.).
Like with AI, I like crypto as a concept, but the practice… (specially the resources both consume for what little benefit they end up having)
I also do PCP and other Durango Morrison drugs as heist forbid
You can swap Monero with a more common coin on a decentralized exchange with no KYC, and then cash that out at your Coinbase or whatever.
Also, Monero is very efficient for a proof of work coin, partially because it’s designed to be mined on regular, consumer grade PCs.
According to Google, it uses somewhere between 645 and 650 GWh annually, compared to between 150 and 204.4 Terawatt-hours (TWh) for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin was the first, and as is usually the case, that makes it one of the worst.
“Fake money for criminals” is such a dumb, bootlicker thing to say.
Maybe most “1st world” people don’t undersrand it yet but crypto (although most of it is scam, but the good ones like Monero) really enables international transactions and freedom of money and brings so much freedom to the people.
Scammers have ruined the image of cryptocurrenvies but there are actually useful currencies out there like XMR,LTC that are being used frequently for actuall services and products. Not just trading.
Honestly I’d say the ones who ruined it were the cryptobros who only care about seeing number go up. Gave a bad rep to crypto right outta the gate, especially with causing the (first) GPU shortage. Now if you mention crypto to anyone, even with a legitimate interest, they instantly get a bad taste in their mouth.
It is always nice when some service allows payment in Monero though. The default of bitcoin is still prominent, but thankfully most people are realizing it ain’t private at all.
Found the
CryptoBroBroligarch !Oh yes, because the US and co. Have decided to put sanctions on a bunch of countries, the “3rd world people” are not allowed to buy products or services or make monetary transactions with the “civilized world”? No, fuck governments and fuck their sanctions and rules. People who insist on doing things, especially monetary transactions only the way the governments and states want to are the definition of bootlicker. Free economy requires free money (free as in freedom)
Yes, much better to choose currencies supported by state violence instead of math and open source software. /s
- Doorbell surveillance network
- Self-service identity theft
- State secrets betting house
- Billionaire fan club fund
What’s self-service identity theft?
Verified identities online, passport, face scan
- autonomous, moving surveillance network
- activity detection across walls
Very good additions.
I would add that the state-secrets betting houses are also more broadly insider-trading betting houses
The exposure of hotels using surveillance pricing. A room should cost a hunnert bucks a night. Not $100 or $150 or $200 or $250 etc., depending on which “app” you pray to. Am I right Trivago?
fake money for criminals
I presume you must mean USD?
Hiyooo
Without glasses, I thought that said “illegal crab company” and I was all in.
No law can stop carcinization.
(V) OwO (V) What’s this? snip snip
Citizen Sniiiiiiiiiiiips!
that’s what I read with glasses, and I thought it was about garage crab farming
Haha, I knew what that one was going to be without clicking. Great channel
Again, I’m all in.
I feel like this is something I’d hear discussed on the Park After Dark podcast (Trailer Park Boys thing, now with 100% less Bubbles for obvious reasons)
Before I go all in with you, I have to know- is this an illegal company where crabs are the product or where crabs are running things?
Yes
It can be whatever you want it to be, baby.
Wait… You’re a baby crab, right?
I prefer ethically sourced crab, tbh. I actually like the vat grown seafood because it is better for the environment and fresher inland.
i’m going with the fake money for criminals, cuz sometimes the criminal in question is a trans person trying to get their medicine
to my great annoyance, almost all diy hrt online can only be bought using crypto. and wow does it make you hate cryptobros to have to navigate an ecosystem clearly designed for speculation to get your life-saving medicine 🫠
Can’t you just hold your money in a stable coin like USDC to avoid the volatility and speculation?
the homebrewer i was buying from didn’t support this one, so i would’ve had to convert it, which means fees typically
anyways, i don’t really care to maintain a crypto portfolio. i buy the coin when i buy the thing, so volatility isn’t too much of a concern. my main annoyance is at the bonkers fees that exchanges want because they (rightly) recognize cryptobros as a milkable consumer base
You hate the people behind the ecosystem that enables you to get the medicine you require?
i hate the people who turned a way to pay for things anonymously into a stock market.
Creating a market to exchange crypto and cash enables everyone’s use. Speculative markets are a natural feature of something new like bitcoin and would’ve happened regardless.
You’re doing crypto a favor by keeping it at least 1% still anarchist.
that sucks mam.
I hope eventually there are less dumb ways to access the stuff for you.a
you dont have to put the meat on the sheet but at least put the sheet on the shelf below it
