Serious question. With inflation absolutely exploding everywhere, stock market being what you just described here, and property ownership being virtually impossible due to big corpos gulping everything up: how is anyone supposed to prevent their money from melting away nowadays?

Use the tor browser in conjunction with your VPN. The tor exit nodes aren’t flagged.

Tax any form of automation, be it software or hardware, and pay everyone a universal income from it.

Ok, thank you for clarifying, I get what you mean now. As I understand it you’re mad at players playing egotistically and treating others as NPCs. I would say that that is a more general social issue, that isn’t limited to gaming. Sadly, you’ll have to just deal with it.

Every example you just mentioned is a demonstration of “playing bad” in my book. What would you descibe as “playing bad”? Just aiming issues? Or reaction times? Surely that would be to reductive.

All contestants have to wear shirts with the text “wasps are better than bees”

Each contestant agrees to be slathered in pollen before the event. Contestants with allergies get double points on successful spelling.

Isn’t tor super dodgy because anyone, even the government, can host exit nodes? Honest question, I haven’t read too much about it.

In before EU genocides all starlings because you can’t put backdoors in them to scan for CSAM.

Anyone smarter than me knows how much frozen russian assets are at EUs disposal?

Took me a second too. Look at what the bird is writing with.

Why are patents on clean energy developments allowed to begin with?

You live in a bubble my friend. Not everyone will move to tor. Not even close. Linux has reached 3% in the steam statistics recently. Remove the deck users and you’ll be lucky if it hits 1%. Of those 1% not even everyone will be able to give up the regular web. I’m sure there will be a surge in alternative browsing prorocols, but not enough to change the status quo.

Financial issues among the general populace due to consolidation of wealth > oligarchs create propaganda that brown people are to blame > uneducated masses vote for authoritarians with empty promises

It’s the same program human civilisation has know for millenia

That’s exactly what makes the proposed regulation so absurd. If you’re not completely tech illiterate, you’re gonna use whatever fork of your FOSS software of choice to keep communicating securely. This regulation is just a very obvious data grab for the whatsapp users that are too lazy to switch.

Netanyahu would like to have a word with you…

The topic is a bit sensationalist tbh. It’s a different matter entirely to track a person directly, which is easily doable with current digital payment standards, or track currency, which only allows to infer some data points about a person. That’s a bit like saying a bike is as fast as a plane just because both get you from point A to point B.

Thank you for being the voice of reason. I keep telling peole that without religion people would wage war about what the best color is. If you want to be a dick you’ll always find a reason
