China Exposes Another U.S. “Prism” Program in c/[email protected]

Encrypt everything as violence does not win over math and the US should go fuck a duck. I can't wait until Monero grows big enough and they lose their dominance over the reserve currency status.

How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? in c/[email protected]
[–] shortwavesurfer 4 points 1 day ago

I have all of my email sent to my own domain, so while I would lose previous emails, if my provider just up and shut down, I could just switch to another provider, change a few records on my DNS, and all of my emails would go to my new provider from then on with no problem. I control the domain after the "@" sign.

Fuck all that noise. I would be switching banks as soon as I feasibly could. Because fuck no.

Bluesky, the Fediverse, and the future of social media in c/[email protected]
[–] shortwavesurfer 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or I think you know, users are going to have to get over themselves because they are currently going from centralized platform to centralized platform to supposedly decentralized platform. Eventually, maybe one day they will figure out that platforms do not work and protocols are what people should be using.

Until there's more than one server, it is absolutely not decentralized and should not be thought of as such.

Same for me. I pretty much have no interest in betting whatsoever. Betting is just something that's never really crossed my mind, as something to even consider being interested in.

Yeah, I probably should have checked my text to speech before sending the reply LOL.

Fair enough. Have you ever placed any bets at yourself? I know here in the United States we are technically not supposed to be able to use it, but you can do so with a VPN as long as you set your location to be outside the US.

I don't own any IoT devices. And I absolutely refuse to buy any device that does not support fire gig Earth's Wi-Fi.

Which is why I've totally disabled the 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi band on all of my routers for several years now and only use 5 gigahertz.

The fact that Polymarket is big enough to get people recognizing it just randomly like this is quite frankly amazing.

Question on Initial node Connection in c/[email protected]
[–] shortwavesurfer 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The Monero Network also has seed nodes, hard-coded into the software. If you issue monerod --help you can see syntax for using a custom bootstrap node if you wish

This is the agreement that allows reto to offer 0% fees (self.monero)
 

In order to boost Haveno adoption, We propose the following:

  • RETO lowers its trade fees to 0%

in return:

  • RETO receives the equivalent of X per year or Y per month with the first 4 months paid up-front, subsequent payments on a monthly basis.

  • Once monthly RETO volume exceeds 1M fiat and sustains it for 3 months in a row, RETO reintroduces a fee and pays back any fees above X until the total amount paid back is equal to the total amount previously received.

Example:

If RETO earns Z in a month, it pays back Z-Y.

Should volume suddenly be drastically higher than expected, we will not reimburse RETO for “lost” trade fees and assume we have reached our goal in boosting Haveno adoption.

This agreement is initially going to last until 2025-12-31 with the first payment dated back to 2024- 11-01 under the condition that the 0% trade fee goes into effect with the release of Haveno v1.0.13.

Is it time to question the yearly release cycle for phones? (self.technology)

So recently I've been seeing the trend where Android OEMs such as Google, Samsung, etc. have been extending their software release times up to like five, six, and seven years after device release. Clearly, phone hardware has gotten to the point where it can support software for that long, and computers have been in that stage for a very long time. From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Edit: The battery is the thing that goes the fastest so manufacturers could just offer new batteries and that would solve a lot of the problem.
