How about Chainlink being a likely pick for an SEC lawsuit?

- Tech is a literal JSON parser designed as a Rube Goldberg machine.

- They came out with a whitepaper 2.0, even though not even 30% of what was promised in "WP" 1.0 was delivered.

- All the founders are in the USA, and the company was initially in the USA when they ICO'd, but now their company magically migrated to the Caymans, even though their operations are completely in the US, San Fran and NY.

- Literal 4chan coin, to the point, one of their execs, Mark Oblad, was some sort of staff at 4chan.

- They dump $20-60M every 2 or so days, depending on what the price is (they dump the same amount of tokens, amount in USD depends on price). Yet have nothing to show for it, apart for a Lambo for the Russian founder's Papa, plus 2 of the founders bought a whole block of NY condos apparently.

- Thousands of "Partnerships" done purely for marketing, to get 4channers/linkers to hopefully shill their products too, even though there is no actual partnering of any kind.

- Rampant insider info leaks happening from their founders, for announcements and dealings that will pump or dump the price. I'd even be able to showcase some in court myself.

Use alternate youtube front-ends like Invidious

So much nocoiner butthurt in here lmao. Yes, it's down 50%, yet I'm still a multi-millionaire thanks to holding, from a small mining stint a couple years back, $0 invested directly aside from mining machines (GPUs I would have bought anyways for gaming).

With how it's progressed, I never have to sell. My employment income is zero, and I can't get any mortgages cuz of this... no problem, I can literally use crypto to sythnetically underwrite my own mortgages.

Your bias is your own problem. There's clearly a solution that allows you to use snake_case and those that potentially import your library to seamlessly use all exports as camelCase, yet you're still bothered by that. It's nonsensical, Nim literally came up with the absolute most elegant solution to this.

Poor guy, he's scared of "cryptoasset" holders not voting for democrats :(

After this blanket ban, let's just move to a one-party democratic system too, like North Korea.

Semantics, semantics, semantics, that's all your arguments are.

Soft and hard forks are a defensive mechanism against 51% attacks, essentially making them an always losing proposition outside of the immediate-term where the attack is occuring, because the attacker has to expend so much money, and then a simple code change could revert it, which would likely happen in consensus for the network if such a malicious attack would occur. Hence, no rational actor will likely even consider a 51% attack.

Use better alternative platforms such as Odysee

Or if your fave content is only on Youtube, an alternative front-end such as Invidious

The current wix site you have up really looks broken on all my browsers, which doesn't instill confidence. The fact that it's wix alone is problematic, let alone that it doesn't even work on multiple browsers of mine.

So what measure of relatively little in your mind would yield it not to be spyware?

In my mind, no phoning home, and open-source at the very least. So to me, it's spyware indeed, because as you just said yourself, it phones home.

Unbelievable... so autism is now a treatable disease? Is LGBTQ++ also treatable according to you?

Your comment is bigotted nonesense across the whole gamut.

Well, there go my annual Tor donations, oh well. Let's see if they can make up for these losses by going the cancel culture/censorship route.

And Mozilla has been a joke for a while with their latest CEO. He's literally trying to jump on anything currently trendy, to hold onto his seat and salary for as long as possible while he drives its projects into the bedrock.

I have not bought an Apple product... evar

But I said I would get the first production-ready ARM Laptop chip... It had to be an Apple, here I am writing this on an M1 Laptop now (to my credit I am trying to minimize as much of the home phoning via various means, albeit I understand I'm using complete spyware).

ARM/RISC is the future.

I think it's quite important to state the OS you're using. All Browsers tend to fly on Windows, except for ironically MS browsers. Safari tends to be fastest on MacOS. Basically every mainstream browser sucks in performance, memory usage, cpu, battery usage and so on, on Linux distros, comparatively to the former.

There needs to be a 'fun' in 'svelte' somewhere, because it actually makes front-end devving... dare I say, fun and enjoyable.
