@realcaseyrollins The article does mention many varied concerns, one being that a centralized, globally active banking entity of this kind could allow someone's funds to be blocked and traced internationally. Handy for powerful governments, which could starve some opposing party simply by freezing their assets.

Combine that with FB's known sneakiness and past incidents of manipulation, selling people's information to private operators (and this being used in the 2016 campaign, see Cambridge Analytica).

I don't trust crypto currencies as they are, there are so many incidents of irrecoverable loses thru hacks, exchanges going bankrupt with hundreds of millions in client assets evaporating. And the price manipulation reported by trade analysis in 2017, when BTC hit huge peaks, then dropped substantially.

A lot of people got wiped out, many who had bought crypto using credit cards and debt.

@realcaseyrollins The hegemony of the US Dollar as the major Reserve currency is a tremendous advantage for the country.

And mr. T complains about trade unfairness? 😛

We need more widely accepted reserve currencies, of the real kind, and not under the control of a sinister corporation, like FB, which is under share votes controlled by one single man.

Hello Iris F., and welcome to Qoto.

If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

I felt it looked like you are moving content from another place. 😉

Not sure if you need help with using mastodon or not, the guide linked above is quite good if you need it.

Enjoy your day!

A long and rich article which Dr Dejahang posted here yesterday. ( https://qoto.org/@drdej555/103239575953234069 )I read thru and he covers a wide variety of implications. A good read, requires focus.

@_lunawinters Yeah, he sure will. I remember being a little cocky and enjoying the shock value of a statement sometimes. 😜

@chikara
That is a nice and interesting photo, Chikara, thank you for posting it.

I noticed and enjoyed the sky light reflection on the puddled water on the sidewalk. And even the shadows from the trees on same.

The picture has a similarity to the gravure indeed. Different medium, different times, but a fluidity that is present in both.

@Fabrice_tual

@Fabrice_tual It's a wonderful print. The gradient of colours, the fine detail, the register of a reality so foreign to us.

Great work, thank you for the post. 👍

The response you got on the thread was indeed heartwarming and enjoyable. Well done, all.

Quick reply, just point at one quick thing on your reply above.

The ADD, and difficulty of concentrating. Trying to control that, distractions and improve concentration will be beneficial to all, and specially to a programmer aiming for a wider comprehension and finer work.

We all suffer from attention dilution, unfortunately (I have unnamed quantity of tabs open on my browser, hard to give up and close one or more in attempt to free some ram).

Focusing is important. Think of ways to reduce distractions.

@freemo Really nice car.

Now it's accepted reality, thank you. 👍

@freemo Well, I am glad at least some of the targeted group might enjoy the photos. Not sure I know any ladies like that, or possibly they wouldn't admit to it. 😛

I find it hugely crass though. Never done it, don't think I will.

Have you, sent one of those?
