Now you're completely entitled to join the Minecraft piracy world

I see, thanks for the inside look!

It certainly rings very badly.

Would you like to tell more on the gatekeeping aspect? Imma be honest, I'm not a seasoned volunteer and would like to know more.

Maybe take some volunteering, then?

Or would it be too hard/not useful to make yourself start doing something like that?

It's a loop that is hard to quit once you've entered it.

I wish you success; maybe a good digital detox on the countryside with some simple books, field work and joys may help to reset your mind?

Not before their brains start to rot by using those in the first place

It's scary to see how even the older generation gains reduced attention span, reduced ability to learn and need for instant gratification on this short dopamine machine.

Alright, let's settle on that.

That's a job of central banks, and they normally manage it well enough. Sure, crypto offers more reliability on that front by making it impossible to control emission. But at the same time, this means money can't be printed when it would be highly beneficial for the economy, for example when recovering from economic crisis - without extra emission the country will be screwed up real bad. At the end of the day, the fiat emission is agile for good reasons.

I've kinda answered it already - because most governments will keep it alive by never ever going crypto. After all, this will probably be in the best interest of the general public as well, and it doesn't appear that concepts of going full crypto are popular among masses.

People had 15 years to "wake up" now, yet they didn't. Partly due to volatility which makes planning near economic future impossible, partly due to scare, but most importantly because they still get their wages in fiat, pay for products in fiat etc., and generally have little left to invest.

The state doesn't have incentive to change the regulations that favor crypto because crypto is generally worse as actual money as opposed to store of value for the reasons described above.

Crypto bros will shill "crypto everywhere soon" narrative every time they can, and I've seen it since at least Mt. Gox era. But until the regulations will be there (and they won't), nothing is gonna happen.

Solana currently has 1777 validators - which doesn't look like much compared to Bitcoin, but is actually way more than enough for any practical intents and purposes.

 

In my quest for the most privacy-respecting and direct control browser I ended up stumbling upon qutebrowser.

What fascinated me is that it literally doesn't request anything you haven't asked for. No telemetry, no weird connections. It only serves you what youbask of it.

But, and that's a big issue, qutebrowser is a proud keyboard-driven browser made for those looking to make their browsing experience more...vim.

So the question arises: is there any browser that is so strict with unwanted connections, telemetry etc., but with a normal GUI?

Thanks in advance for any response!
