That’s generous of you. If I’d mistakenly bought one that wouldn’t work without ever having a network connection, I’d be returning it and demanding my money back. Hasn’t happened yet, though.

They are presumably referring to SimpleX. Although I don’t actually see anyone blaming it for the existence of Nazis.

You’d be correct to point out that not all of them waste energy like Ethereum did until later in 2022 and Bitcoin still does, but wrong to pick Monero as an example of one that doesn’t.

The discourse about Mozilla is ridiculous, here and most everywhere. You’ve got people taking every perceived opportunity to attack them for things they do, things they didn’t do, and things it’s imagined they might’ve done. And then another crowd of equally determined people doggedly defending them for every idiotic blunder they make, such as this one.

Meanwhile Mozilla itself has nothing substantial to say. This is not the first time a prominent extension has mysteriously gone missing from amo with Mozilla telling us nothing about its role in the incident. @mozilla@mozilla.social needs to be in the discussion giving us a real explanation of what happened, why they got it wrong, and what they’re doing to improve things.

One person who believes that Jos Verstappen is somehow involved in the team operations is Jos Verstappen, as the headline indicates. He certainly has at least some small amount of influence with one person who does work for Red Bull.

The agency said that Evil Corp’s ability to translate their criminal proceeds into real spending money was as important to their success as their technical exploits.

May their example serve to remind us all that the surveillance state must forever continue to expand until we finally attain the ideal financial system where criminals are no longer able to transform money into money.

He warned everyone that if he kept on sabotaging the team and trying to sow dissent that it might be bad for the team, but they just wouldn’t do everything his way.

Congratulations on your successful revolution, Britain! I must’ve missed the news when it happened, amidst all the gossip about the latest Donald Trump tweets.

If you can’t handle the shocking reality of someone choosing unusual pronouns to refer to themselves, fediverse may not be the social media for you.
