Oh no I dislike him, the problem is you coming off as a complete jackass

I dunno about the US but in the UK it isn’t a crime to accidentally record nothing happening in a public toilet

Damn when did having a shit become illegal

“printing” money happens very very often. The US constantly prints money AND increases it’s debt yet the dollar stays strong. You have to remember value of a currency is imaginary, it’s just a contract where we agree X is X and Y is Y.

While yes you can devalue a currency by printing money, you can also increase its value by strengthening the system it’s printed into. If we print money to build and improve, the UK becomes more desirable and therefore it’s currency more valuable despite it’s increased monetary supply.

It’s alot more complicated than Print more worth less. Hell I expected high inflation after COVID due to increased printing, and while inflation did happen, it was not for that reason, it was pure greed.

Whilst I am doing a CS degree now, for the last 9 years I was a 5 axis CNC machinist for stone products. I still do It part time as they haven’t found a replacement yet (after a year lmao).

Yeah it’s not your fault at all, it was harsh for the other commenter to call you a boomer but I won’t like I did chuckle. The US is slowly catching up, the bank I use mainly Monzo is now operating there, not with as many features but I highly recommend if you do want to try a more modern bank.

It’s harsh to criticise people for not working for free…

Right but a small company or even a group of people aren’t going to put resources into something that a few % of people use. Look at Linux, despite it being the most used operating system in the world, retail sticks to windows and Mac, so it just doesn’t get the same level of support.

I completely agree in the sense people should educate themselves and use products that benefit them and don’t abuse them, but people don’t. And because people don’t, companies won’t.

Are you US based? US banking infrastructure is very far behind. I’m 28 and I’ve never used or seen a cheque. Been using banking apps all my life

You said it better than I could

You can use that same argument against any currency. But you’re mistaking digital currency as being different than physical currency. A $ is a $, digital or physical they are both the same value.

Most people don’t use federated services. I know it’s ironic that an open source project isn’t using open source channels, but sometimes it’s best to stick to services that are easy access and popular.

I’m sure if enough people got in contact about using open source communication they would likely attempt it.

Imagine the size of the lightning port

I use Ubuntu on my servers because it just… Works, out of the box I can run my scripts and have no issues 100% of the time. On desktops I used to use SolusOS for gaming as that was the only Linux OS at the time I could comfortably game on without many hiccups.

Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.

I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

I was agreeing with you against that thinking, sorry if that wasn’t clear

It also doesn’t work if you’re not “antagonistic and smug”. People don’t like to change, so they aren’t going to change their eating habits.

It has nothing to do with how people talk to you and everything to do with you just liking meat.

The vocal minority of any group is delusional

Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.

I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.
