Does it magically stop being blogspam if we know who that is supposed to be?

> but billion dollar company Google will happily recommend it as the most relevant result above a legitimate website?

Because the site most likely is laden with Google Ads, it's in their interest to show you that garbage and not what you're actually looking for.

Man, I read that as 'People of Color' before 'Proof of Concept' and was very confused.

Start with self-examination.

Why are you so bothered about Putin invading Ukraine?

Where was the outrage, protesting and flag-waving when Israel is invading Palestine and shooting little kids daily? And America is bombing Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan etc on a daily basis?

Don't get me wrong, it's all bad. But the general persons apathy and ignorance and ability to be manipulated by the media is just as bad as any actions Putin is taking.

@dvtm if you're just going to hang your clothes up to dry, then what's the point of having a dryer in the first place?

This seems remarkably unintuitive, but the math checks out.

(26+10)⁶ = 2,176,782,336

1,450 minutes a day

2,176,782,336 / (1,450 * 60) = ~25,000 years

Bitchute doesn't use P2P, but it's a HUGE part of their marketing. Their target demographic is technically illiterate so don't know any different, which really actually is a huge problem in general.

How many people fall for the latest buzzwords (like 'web3') without having the first clue what it is? Even investors aren't immune.

It just shows you're growing in your skills, I think there's very few people can look back at code they wrote even last week and not see where it could be improved.

I'd keep it as a record of your progress and just mark it as a toy project/not ready for production etc.

Seems slightly suicidal. And $1M doesn't seem all that much for the potential risk to yourself and your family.

Security? lol

If all your business logic is in the client what's to stop someone just changing it to f*ck you over.

I think it's made a lot of people overestimate their competence and overvalue their 'skill'.

They think being able to Google/SO something is the same as knowing it. Give them a laptop without internet access and most 'developers' wouldn't even be able to get it setup nevermind write 'hello world' from scratch.

This is a great idea but it unfairly punishes the average citizen that has no more say in what their government does than you or I do.
