Admittedly I didn't watch the entire video, but I think this is pretty stupid. There's loads of independently recorded angles of this happening (here's 50 of them), and one of the largest cities on the planet full of witnesses.

Even if the videos shown we're "forged," how do you know that an "actual" plane wouldn't do exactly as it did in the video? Lots of other planes have flown into other buildings, and the planes enter the building without crumpling. I'm sure you can do your own physics simulation rather than trying to abuse intuition but many other people have done it already (here, here, here).

When I think of Bitcoin, I think of corporations. Bitcoin has chosen not to evolve in favor of companies that profit off of its weaknesses, and using the currency is almost completely surrounded by companies that have to listen to the government (ATM's, exchanges, etc.). I would bet that the large majority of people who "hold" Bitcoin do it for the money and don't care about everything I've mentioned.

As long as you restrict RPC on 18081 its fine to externally bind, 18089 is just an indicator that its intended for public use.

Edit: Looks like my monerod isnt letting me externally bind to 18081 like it is 18089, maybe you're right or I'm missing a command.

I agree with @[email protected], what I need in a Monero wallet is good send/receive and maybe an optional fiat api. I feel like all the other online services might as well stay in Cake wallet with the "bloat" coins. I feel like most users that would rather use a Monero-only wallet over multi coin would agree with the sentiment.

Appreciate the work you do.

Then everyone needs to download and make an account on said app, they already exist and none are unanimous.

Everyone has a phone number that gets used for auth and other things. If that system doesn't change then RCS is way better.

Never looked into it, what's so bad about RCS besides it being proprietary? Way better than SMS in my experience.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

RCS seems to be pretty openly licensed out to other OEMs, definitely a lot better than iMessage.

It's still proprietary though, a far cry from something like Matrix.

Yes, but nobody uses the alternate chains and the coins become effectively worthless.

Nice. In the rare chance that you haven't heard of GrapheneOS, now you have.

Did you get your phone from your carrier? In addition, some brands do that with cheaper phones. Can buy unlocked phones.

Maybe try Google Pixel or iPhones that have terms against pre-installing shit.

You're right about most things, and Linux/VR support is often a deal breaker for me so I rarely use Epic. But you really think its that unusable? I've heard mostly positive things from my friends. I don't care how or why they're giving out free games but its a huge plus. I just really don't understand all the hate.
