That's an interesting premise, that somehow a currency is going to change the nature of how "the internet" is funded. So, none of the world's currencies have done this, but a "currency" that isn't really a currency is going to change around the entire economics of everything online?

There's so many fun presumptions in that notion that it's hard to even start a discussion.

The short answer is no. I think there's more than enough evidence out there that cryptocurrencies will remain niche, and this ridiculous 'web3' notion of every interaction being a transaction will simply just not occur, much as any bros try and wish and argue for it.

You vote with your dollars, and if you care what Apple is doing, you tell them.

Buy a non-Apple system, write to Apple, and let them know why you're not longer purchasing Apple equipment.

It's really simple, if you want companies to change, you stop giving them money (and you tell them why if you're no longer doing so). Giving them money tells them they're doing everything just right.

You can't even trust Microsoft with their own operating system. They have never been trustworthy.

 

Imagine if these asshats got an overdone steak.

I hope these sorts of people are put in jail, stat.

 

We really have far too much tolerance for these douchebags.

 

Somebody please tell me if anyone involved in writing this thing has any understanding of how any online services work?

 

I've found the same with butter over the past few years. I hope this gets backed up by other sources, but if true, it sounds like high time for better regulation of this industry - if they can't make profit from selling a pound of butter for $5 (which most seem to be priced higher than that now), then something is disastrously wrong.

 

Hmm, I'm posting this as it only came up after I was looking for more on the crap the CPC had on their website yesterday.

I think it may be time to reach out to my local (conservative) MP and demand better. I don't know about you, but we're going to have to do something to push out the blatant Trumpism that's occurring here. We're going to have to be completely intolerant of it, and demand better.

Thoughts?

About bloody time.

 

Why do some people insist on being so difficult about temporary rules? The entitlement is appalling.
