Though I prefer Monero ($XMR) over Bitcoin, it's sad to see a non-KYC Bitcoin exchange go away. Luckily, LocalMonero isn't related to LocalBitcoins so that is still around.

Space tourism is looking like an exciting market. Heard Blue Origin is doing the same.

I have a Sceptre TV that I bought a few years ago and couldn't be happier. Sceptre does have Smart TVs using Roku or Google TV, but there are many models such as what I bought that are modern (made within past 3-5 years) and non-smart. Quality isn't anything substantial but its sufficient and not horrible. Hate how bloated proprietary botnet is the norm out of the gate. Most people already have or will just buy their own media centers like game consoles or Fire Sticks anyway. Personally I have a SBC with LibreELEC (Just Enough OS for Kodi).

Apple's "privacy" is really just data protection from other competing companies. It was just another marketing campaign to maintain their positive image.

Hell no to more government force.

Weirdest headline that I have encountered here. Had to read it twice just to make sure.

Still on the fence on AI art. On one end, it helps people create images on the fly for their needs without much delay finding an artist. On other, it is a soulless creation. Artists won't die out but it will be forced into a certain niche.

Holy crap that was fast.

I hate how Big Tech is so adamant about viewing and interacting through algorithms instead of allowing you to do basic sorting according to a certain order you choose.

Don't really care for this but more feature parity with WhatsApp or SnapChat could hopefully attract more people and make it somewhat mainstream. Personally, I know a lot of people that use these messengers just to look at or post stories.

Or reject the partisan binary and vote third party. But in all honesty, I don't care how Elon or others vote. Just shouldn't project it onto users and try to sway people during election season as the owner of the platform.

Anyone with a good understanding of the internet and social media should come to the conclusion that constantly projecting what is happening in your life is idiotic. What's more dangerous is putting the minds of the young and undeveloped on display for the world to see permanently.

More reason to boycott the next World Cup. FIFA has been a corrupt organization for a long time with numerous scandals but this one is over the top. Qatar blatantly bought their way into the 2022 hosting spot and is using slave labor to build gigantic stadiums and towns that will definitely be abandoned right after the events just like the ones from the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. All because the same rich Qatari monarchs that own Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and spend enormous amounts of money (iirc about a billion Euros) in hopes of winning a UEFA Champions League want to see their favorite players go at it in their backyards.

Most popular sport in most countries in the world. FIFA World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world. The amount of viewers blows the Olympics, the next most watched after, out of the water.
