You say that with such certainty, as if proof of stake schemes won’t simply be a greenwashing alibi for accelerating validation of currencies using them, to the point of the same carbon footprint as POW.

You’re simply wrong to say that POS is without environmental impact, even Ethereum’s carbon reductions were only that (and not nearly as high as they claimed).

Oh, the single, shared built-in search function in mastodon, pixelfed, misskey, lemmy, friendica, peertube, diaspora, castopod, writefreely, &c?

Please, the fediverse is more than [platform you’re currently using].

Duh, you’re right. I refuse to use it so I’m not exactly up to date…

Okay, sorry for the sarcasm. I think there is a certain overlap in the language used around general privacy principles and the more… out there, political anti-society movements.

Sometimes it’s innocent and random but when I see somebody putting cryptocurrency up front in their project and using “sovereign computing” as a tagline, my internal crackpot detector goes nuts. I’m fairly sure that deep down these people would want to see the world burn to stay warm toward the end.

LOL, fair point!

Chrome but crypto and homophobic CEO

😬 I’m just going to guess Brave?

Right, so engines not browsers/brands. That makes sense 🙂 I guess Edge, Trident or WebKit don’t really figure into that scale?

The title literally says “Sovereign computing”. Are you okay? I do recommend reading from the top down, for more information please re-read.

It’s only a duopoly?! I’m genuinely curious who you see as the top two and what other bloated browsers don’t make your list.

It’s been a buzzword among the ultra-libertarian, anti-government, tinfoil hat wearing set for decades.

True. Tipi, Umbrel and CasaOS are savvy enough to do this. But do you really want to teach more cryptobros to slip their message under the threshold? I’m fine that they show their true goals front and centre, it’s like a note saying “hit me” taped to their backs.

“Sovereignty”, that big white whale of the dysfunctional far right?

I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it’s flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can’t use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.

BECOME BITCOIN BECOME LIGHTNING

LOL, not in a million years. Dumping this like the cryptocurrency infected garbage it is.

There’s another reason I don’t share “It’s FOSS” links anywhere: this should have been a github issue but it’s turned into a clickbaity headline. Every othe article coming out of “It’s FOSS” is either low effort, sensationalist, or both.

Funny how Bountysource deteriorated at the exact time cryptocurrency got involved.

I use the LibRedirect browser add-on to use Invidious on desktop and NewPipe on Android. Never use youtube.com, problem solved.

Does Nitter still work for you? Because several instances officially closed when “Twitter blocked the last known way to access their network without a user account” (quoted from nitter.cz).

Microsoft: Trust us with all your work and private data.

Also Microsoft: Um, we mislaid the files for this historical project. They’re here somewhere, maybe.

What can possibly go wrong?

It just cited the wrong Neal Stephenson book, so not way off.
