Normally I’d agree but this gets posted anytime anyone says something about anonymous crypto payments like some magic gatchya, and Its getting really hard to believe its not in bad faith at this point.

No, my point was that people don’t need higher resolution TV’s, they need good transcodes that don’t look like shit.

Streaming services run at bitrates/codecs that look like dookie compared to bd rips even on my shitty $100 sceptre 1080p Amazon special TV.

Who the fuck is gonna buy an 8K oled panel when no ones willing to conveniently provide content that looks good on it, or even content that pushes their current TV to its fullest extant?

Its not like anyone can afford a GPU that renders modern games at a playable framerate to that either.

Okay, politely, fuck off. Its 2026 and I absolutely refuse to believe anyone educated on crypto enough to know what a blockchain is and how it works, even if just a basic understanding, doesn’t know about encrypted blockchains or XMR.

You get to post this comment like once in your life, and after that we both know its in bad faith. I really doubt its the first time.

Admittedly I’m not a hardcore crytography nerd, but I know they’ve been improving things for years, and that message on that mailing list looked like it was 10 years old.

Not saying your wrong, but Id take it with a grain of salt. Anytime I see a newer encrypted block chain I see it and think whatever improvements have been done here, will eventually bleed into monero because of that. And that unlike the other encrypted blockchain, people will still actively be using xmr for real transactions.

Maybe instead of bitching you should make suggestions to solve the problem.

Pay your first dues with a vanilla card purchased w/ cash a couple of towns over, use at least 30-90 days after purchase so the CCTV footage will be overwritten.

Also use tor FFS, or at least a good VPN like mullvad or ivp, and on a trustable machine (IE: open source OS, preferably QubesOS on ME disabled hardware)

Also if you need a good throwaway email both tutanota and cock.li work but keep in mind cock.li is run by chuds so its best used as a disposable account.

You can truely speak your mind if your socials are never accessed from your home IP and you don’t tie any other accounts to them, and what you say isn’t too identifiable.

IMO xmr kinda saved proof of work by optimising their algo for consumer grade CPUs.

CPU mining is much less econimcal than GPU because you can’t fit as many CPUs on a single system. Plus server grade CPUs with lots of smol cores instead of a few big ones hurts it too.

Makes it hard for anyone other than nerds with am extra PC to make money mining, and most of those guys won’t be purposely picking a geographic location with the cheapest/most environmentally harmful electricity source. (More nerds live off of nuclear/solar than datacenters full of miners do)

I mean yeah normally I’d agree with you but progress was still going in kind of the right direction, albiet slowly then.

We’ve spent some years backsliding now, and honestly I do miss the part where things felt like they where getting better, not worse.

Yeah but without anonymous payments (xmr) there’s no good way to easily pay for diy estrogen or hosting for piracy services, or to anonymously pay my mullvad account.

Granted if society wherent setup as a giant fucking fascist capitalistic panopticon we wouldn’t really need any of that.

Any who, I mostly agree with the sentiment though. “Career” investors and venture capitalists belong against a fucking wall IMO.

Aight im in my 20s and even I did this growing up, is that person just a fucking teenager or something?

That’s because the answer isn’t higher resolutions, it was legally enforcing h.265 to be open source. Now the solution is AV1, but video codecs shouldn’t be locked down like that.

To act like that was ever in favor of “protecting the sciences” is a fucking joke.

I spend most of my time between a collection of vm’s running (mostly) Debian Linux and I’m at least mediocre at it!

You need to have kids to be a fully developed adult.

No, you shouldn’t have kids until after you’re a fully developed adult…

If the your most impressive achievement is have kids to ride the coattails of, you probably didn’t do anything that important with your life.

Redistributing wealth is redistributing wealth. Just because you’re doing it within the systems your born into doesn’t make that any less true.

That being said if you can prepare fresh meals from home grown veggies, fucking go for it!

Why did they design this weapon to create a muzzle flash shaped like gonads?

Oh for sure, but even with a good hiding place kids are shits and have a lotta time on their hands. ESPECIALLY after their preferred game/tablet/whatever has been taken away.

I’ll take no chance over low chance.

Yeah no this is why if you own guns you should only buy combo safes, with at least one that has no key to keep the keys to the rest.

Calling a locksmith is better than calling a coroner.

Also, ffs, choose a good combo, keep it in a secure password manager. Not rocket science.

No means no, good on you for standing your ground. Pushing your fetishes/kinks on to people without consent is fucking gross.

Double gross she doubled down and tried to guilt you, instead of apologizing.

Fuck AI.
