I mean yeah, it’s better to launder money using a difficult to trace digital ledger. But no, the things you mentioned won’t go away, because there’s also money in the laundering, and double dipping is the name of the game

lol that’s true, but there’s a difference between chatting with a group of people and subtly being like “oh you think your weekend was crazy? Listen to this” vs as soon as you see someone, shake their hand and before you get through pleasantries be like “so I just pulled someone out of the snow” and tell the whole story again though they just overheard it from the other person you told in the room. rinse and repeat for every person you see.

You can help someone out of kindness but also tell the story to every single person at the family party
Except everyone would know. Multiple people across the globe testing different browsers have looked at the same JavaScript code that is being sent to the browser. The check is there, client-side, google isn’t sending a different JavaScript payload for different browsers. Like you said, they could, but that’s not how it currently functions
On Apple, there’s only one notification service. All notifications get pushed through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Push_Notification_service which go through Apple’s servers
Except that the delay and ad blocker check is literally in the JavaScript code, you can see it.
lol ok maybe not anyone
I think the reason so many new software projects have authors asking for donations is the barrier to writing software is now incredibly low. In the 90s you’d have to have a pretty nice PC, a good dial up plan, and writing software was much more of a hobby unless you were a pro. Nowadays internet access is ubiquitous, and with the tooling and wealth of resources available anyone can write good open source software. Often those people legitimately could use a donation to help fund their free time work. That and the open source projects that are just used as dependencies for corporate projects are all too common. I absolutely blame the system where people need more money to get by rather than thinking open source software devs are more greedy nowadays
“We want small government!”
“But also big government in cases where our hate speech might be at stake!”
Annoyingly, they already stopped updating XD with the expectation that the Figma deal will go through

It is worth mentioning that changes you made to the IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json file won’t have effect in stable versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft has to roll out this new capability to the stable branch in March 2024.
It’s annoying that this is all the way at the bottom of the article. Good to know I can do all this, glad I didn’t attempt to change any of this now, because it’s pointless until these updates hit stable
“Fascist criminal with plans to retake highest office in the country is audibly disliked in public event amidst multiple court cases and investigations, demonstrating that the populace wants him behind bars while he continues to make public appearances for his fascist supporters. The outcome of what happens with Donald Trump will determine if the United States becomes a fascist ethnostate or a precedent is created to hold criminals in public office more accountable.”
literally nothing
Probably the same case for newspapers, radio, the internet, movies in theatres, gas station pumps etc. Though each new medium we create has a shorter and shorter Time-To-Ad-Platform runway it seems
Cable TV, same thing. This is just old media execs trying to “bring back the magic” or new media execs thinking that old media techniques will work
I’m in full agreement. Crypto was touted as this “untraceable currency” and, surprise, it became used for nefarious means. We need more regulation on this stuff, not less, because as much as the “everyday joe” who got into crypto “because his nephew taught him about it” doesn’t want the government spying on him, really it’s massive fund transfers and money laundering for bad actors that it seems to benefit the most.
laughs in less than two weeks of pentagon funding
For what it’s worth I agree with you, but the money we spend on many agencies is wild
While true, UBI would have to be funded by corporate tax.
“We no longer need people to be able to sell and deliver our products”
^ Win for the corporations
“Virtually no (low-income) property is unoccupied now. And my middle class tenants are making more from UBI, so I raised rent”
^ Win for landlords (which are mostly corporations)
“We can now demographically target ads to UBI payouts to get people to spend their money”
^ Win for corporations
It continues, but the general idea is that, while the populace could benefit from UBI, if it just comes from their taxes it’s not going to shrink class division in any way, but increase it
Sure, but, as to be expected, it’s more of an avenue for racial profiling than anything else
Ah yeah I’m up too late, thanks for pointing that out haha, fixed
