they still do white text on a lime green background despite every accessibility guidance to the contrary. if I used white text on a lime green background at my job I would be reprimanded. this is malicious compliance.
bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. this idea that bitcoin isn't crypto is relatively new and only bitcoin maximalists actually believe it. the industry certainly has moral people who behave themselves and they're not all bitcoin maximalists. it doesn't actually do any good to try to set bitcoin apart in an attempt to appeal to public sentiment. it just makes the whole thing reek of sectarian quarreling.
it's important to understand that most crypto doesn't even use proof of work. out of the top ten, only two are mined and they have less actual usage combined than the other eight.
I had heard of ENS but yesterday I discovered that SNS is more affordable so I tried it out. now you can type gushinggranny.sol into Brave browser and it redirects to my peertube instance. SNS has A records too but I have not tried it yet. I am grateful to see that Brave browser is so forward thinking to support a decentralized DNS right out of the box and I am grateful to have found a usecase for NFTs that isn't completely stupid.
it's prohibitively expensive to access these tools. I have to identify myself and pay over £1000 to be allowed to access them. the agency either doesn't care about independent sites catching CSAM or they don't want independent admins finding out that these tools aren't very effective. alex gleason the fediverse dev tried contacting them about this problem and they didn't care at all.
no need to be so dismissive. my instance of peertube doesn't even show up on that indexer you linked. lots of people who make different kinds of fediverse indexers end up excluding a ton of instances by accident or on purpose.
they've also never been found in violation of united states law and they've never lost any out of several civil cases. you would think that if the newspapers were telling the truth about what happens on there they would have been in trouble by now.
ideological nonsense. money has to have scarcity. implementing scarce money with free open source software is not an affront to anything about it. FOSS only takes away the advantage of intellectual property. FOSS is not a magical weapon against the menace of capitalism or anything like that. it doesn't tarnish when you use it to make fancy accounting software or other things people may not like. your notion that FOSS has pure and impure uses is an affront to the purpose of FOSS. you don't get to decide what people should do with it.
