Screenshot to an OCR reader defeats that really quickly.

I didn't consider using it for piracy cause I didn't even know Telegram had groups. Heh. Talk about drawing attention.

I just recently replaced FB messenger between my GF and myself with Matrix.org + Riot.im. Hosting the server (synapse) yourself takes about 15 minutes to setup. I highly recommend it.

It's not multithreaded so it's impossible to use in production.

This is like me talking about dollars and you go "paper has existed for much longer than dollars". This is why I (almost) never comment online. Too many idiots posing as experts.

Comparing two financial instruments during their lifetimes is now a false comparison apparently.

The worst part of all of this Bitcoin speculation is that you have someone like the person you're replying to get on and talk out of their ass. Literally. And then they are the ones getting upvoted cause all the haters love to talk to

Tulipmania lasted 6 months. Bitcoin is now 8 years old. Stop comparing Bitcoin to flowers. It's not even close to the same thing.

This was part of Twitch from the very beginning. The idea that it's "new" is really just ignorant people finding out after the fact and then complaining about it as if it wasn't always there.

MP3s are so small compared to the rest of the internet now that there's a glut of shady websites that cater to people trying to get MP3s. Rings tones are a great example why someone with a Spotify account might google an mp3 for a song

Napstar was replaced by torrents. People still download music without paying for it all day every day.

Newegg takes Bitcoin...... so electronics? You can also buy fiat currency (dollars, euro, yen).

I vote liberal actually. It's odd..... you write down an opinion and people make all these ideological assumptions. Maybe just chill the fuck out for two seconds and be a little bit introspective on why you get so mad when a stranger s

Yea.... I'm sure you report all your purchases at the duty free as soon as you get to American soil.

What bothers me about this whole thing is that I never bought it like a stock. I mined it YEARS ago when it was worthless. Now all of a sudden I have to pay tax on something I already own? Seems like the government is double dipping. After

Philadelphia is quickly gentrifying and this has caused massive lines in voting districts in the recently gentrified neighborhoods. Where voting lines used to be 15 minutes long they are now 2+ hours. We've been trying to get them to s

Yea... but how much of those features are really from HTC, Samsung, et al and not duplicates of features from iOS or even custom roms from XDA?

I'm so done with Google. This would be like Microsoft ending security updates for Windows 8.1 after only two years. By the way you can get a custom rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/developme

This. So much this. I had the Nexus 5 as well. The 6P offers me: - Aluminum case. - 1080p screen - 4K video recording - Slow-motion video recording @ 1080p 240fps - 12.3MP single shot - A good enough CPU for lag free web browsing, spotify,

I don't agree with that assessment. I've been using Android since 1.0. The default experience is simply just that. No frills. No skins. Just Google apps. What exactly did they pull from HTC or Samsung that is now in the Gapps pack

I can't bring myself to buy a Samsung device. The bloatware is cringy as fuck. Maaaybe if it was unlocked right away and someone on XDA put together a Google only rom but short of that I'll never willingly buy a Samsung device.

I have the same background as you. Crimea, not Moscow. Americans will never understand. Our parents stood in breadlines. We are making six figures in America. It's not about wealth. It's about a culture that respects hard work, ed
