The first major presidential candidate to accept bitcoin (and crypto) donations? Still a shitty candidate, like Biden, but at least the Donald is more innovative than su abuelo Biden....
I just found it really funny that the Bitcoin haters at /r/Buttcoin are talking up how banks are avoiding Bitcoin but the top comment confirming this admits there is massive client side demand from institutions and family officesโฆ...
I usually donโt interact with them, I just check out the sub from time to time. Some are actually pretty reasonable and have similar beliefs to Bitcoin maxis, calling out a lot of crypto scams, they just happen to also hate bitcoin on top of that ๐. I wouldnโt go as far as calling it a troll sub.
No wonder people advocate defederating from hexbear, youโre basically spam. This is the second time you have responded to one of my posts, with the same line, and itโs not a response to the post.
I stopped coming back to Lemmy 6 months ago after seeing there was not enough traction. Is there any good community for Bitcoin or just Crypto that is active with daily users?...
Weird, seems like the exact same concept but for social media, yet no one is here.
Thanks for clarifying about the other comment ๐ I honestly thought they said I would lose all my money if we were all on the same community, was genuinely confused.

Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of...
Iโve always disliked how this is described as a paradox. It only highlights a broader point found in many systems, a just system is never about โthe goodโ outnumbering โthe badโ. Itโs about a balanced equilibrium, as are most relationships. Besides, allowing intolerance is not a tolerant act, thatโs not the way we define that term. To make such a claim would be as ridiculous as a racist person saying they are practicing tolerance by not challenging or question any of their bigoted thoughts and instead just letting them play out.
Karl Popper is a cool dude, Iโm sure if I read his paper on this topic I would completely agree with his points, itโs still a relevant conversation to be had. I just donโt like the term paradox. โIf you are too nice to people you will get taken advantage ofโ is not a paradox. The paradox is just a variation on that.
Any problem that is a prisoners dilemmas will produce this โparadoxโ. But people donโt describe prisonerโs dilemmas as paradoxes because they resolve in some equilibrium. In a prisonerโs dilemma, if one party always cooperates and does not cheat or punish, they will be eliminated by competition willing to do so. So in my example, if a society prioritizes niceness, then the nice will be taken advantage of, and there will no longer be nice people. But this doesnโt actually happen, but itโs the same logic.
Most countries have laws or social norms that restrict Nazis, no one claims he be tolerant of Nazis so the theory does not apply to that case. I also donโt see Nazis anywhere, there are some fringe groups, like there always has been, and more polarized politics, but you canโt ban polarized politics, that would be a police state.
I just donโt log in that often, still stuck on the Reddit juice. The paradox requires that society be maximally tolerant, if there is some level of intolerance and tolerance to authoritarian ideas, thatโs just regular society, happens in every country, and is not an example of a country that is exclusively tolerant of all positions.
I donโt know of any country where someone can be openly pro fascist. Iโm sure you could find some for me outside of western countries but thatโs not the point. That is, unless you are one of those people that calls Trump supporters literal fascist, in which case I will say: I think Trump is a used car salesman, an idiot, a massive problem for the United States, but definitely not a fascist coming to take over America. But if you believe that, then I can see why you believe people tolerate fascism but unfortunately that is a false perception and Iโm not gotta be able to talk you out of it in an online post.
EDIT: I didnโt realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations Iโve encountered, not an attack on the EU....
As per the article, this is to be expected, so it doesnโt really mean anything, โSEC staff have traditionally used every possible comment and review period to delay making final decisions until those 240 days have elapsed, making Thursdayโs agency filings expected.โ

You are reading as though it is undisputed facts. One reason it is undisputed is because the victim is dead. For one it would be nice to see how likely it was he actually broke glass or reached inside. Was it clear video from a camera at the door? Or some grainy footage from a neighbor across the street? It doesnโt say.
Just wondering if there is a risk of it being recoverable after the transaction has been completed. I figured it would be stored in RAM and thus unrecoverable after powering down, but I canโt seem to find anything on that.
100% thatโs why they call it a passphrase and not a password, it would be foolish to use something that can be brute forced. Anyways, my question is specifically about the storage of the key when unencrypted, would you happen to know if it ever touches the hard drive?
Okay thanks, that makes sense. Iโm not highly technical so Iโm just trying to run through every potential risk. That was the last thing bugging me.
