If you receive DM from a beautiful Asian girl and she asked your knowledge about crypto.
Block him.
Block him.
@slash @Moon to rephrase, I'd read sometime ago that RedHat as an institution appeared to be slipping very intelligent backdoors into a lot of Linux code, with US letter agencies implicated, and wondered what the appeal of RedHat is/if there is truth to this narrative
i for sure get the motivation of using older software, tried to get Windows 7 on my new rig but have struggled to find a functional install disc I can trust

Great song, the video is a partial parody of 2004's Eric Prydz "Take On Me" remix. Hard to believe that remix is like 18 years old now.

@Moon not expecting the breakdown, i dig it
@bonifartius @thatguyoverthere on the plus side, you develop a shadow economy of freethinkers who have to take risks and don't take shit
bad money drives out good

@skells yeah I'm with you. I think we have a certain right to anonymity. Just like I don't think the government should be allowed to use facial recognition on public streets, I think forcing people to tie their identity to their online persona is obtrusive. Some people need anonymity to feel safe doing their jobs (a good journalist for example).

@skells yeah we definitely have a massive amount of mineable data, but utilization is a lot harder. I would be silly not to believe we have glowies on here too, but that's different from the admins of every server voluntarily submitting data to the government. The federated nature makes it harder for all of that data to be aggregated. We also don't collect phone numbers and gps coordinates.
I bet palantir can tell a lot about a person on fedi though looking at their follows, followers, likes, etc.

@Nakadai_mon sounds like you might be able to convert bitcoin to a kind that can only be sent to approved addresses, this sounds fucking atrocious, what are the possible benefits?
@thatguyoverthere my own concern is the "you must be registered as a person to post" - it's no accident that the federalist papers were anonymously published.
I can see well-intentioned reasons behind it, but it'll have a cooling effect also.
it's also been a clear talking point from many sockpuppets so I'm super suspicious of it
