Software Engineer by trade, scientist at heart, homeschooler of STEM.

As a kid I learned assembly language so I could make my TRS-80 Space Invaders program run faster. Now I am one of the army of people that make the Internet happen.

@muntedcrocodile @k4r4b3y The reason crypto in general is considered scammy is because BTC, ETH, and most others are simply not useful as currencies, due to LIMITATIONS OF DESIGN. Such as hardcoded blocksize, block transparency, and more.

Right from the beginning, people doubled down on their investments selling flimsy alternative theories than the simple design goal of “Internet cash”

AFAICT, only one serious project has had the engineering focus to make design changes as needed. XMR is money

On the one hand, marijuana clearly should have fewer restrictions than alcohol given the objectively fewer personal and social risks.

On the other hand, without marijuana prohibition, how will we ensure a constant stream of new anarchists in each successive generation?

Today I completed my daily driver transition to #LibreWolf ; this thread was the catalyst.

I love love LOVE the idea of a simply stripped-down, un-f–ked #FireFox

I love that it was able to use Sync and pull all my saved stuff directly from mozilla.

My only complaint is that LibreWolf demands to be pro-bono libre volunteers; they won’t shut up and take my money!

I still contribute monthly to FF; I pretend it’s to fund upstream development.

@Wave afaict, they don’t have any more information than was already available in the NPD breach.

At this point if you are an adult and have an above-board job, you either have already frozen your credit reports, or you’re in the process of being a victim of credit fraud.

@smpl @corvus and if you want to be double plus sure, set pushServer to “none” instead of the default wss:// address

@9tr6gyp3 ABP by default does a lot.

But unless you’re using Tor browser bundle… actually yes, you almost certainly *are* fingerprintable individually.
