With the exception of illegal content this is how it should be. “I don’t like this so I’m going to block it so I don’t have to look at it again” rather than “I don’t like this so nobody should be allowed to look at it”.

Good question, I don't have an answer for you unfortunately. I have seen people talk about this in the Monero community though so at least they're aware of the issue.

As I said, that's just my opinion really. But Monero uses a dynamic block size. The hardware requirements will increase of course. But hardware becomes cheaper over time so the monetary cost of participation does not increase as quickl

Once again we have someone here conflating the first amendement with free speech. Free speech is a principle, the first amendment works in service of it.

You are correct, of course, that vaccination should be completely apolitical. However you can’t deny that covid vaccines have become the favored political bludgeon in the last couple of years.

Why is tipping even calculated as a percentage? It's not like the work done by the waiter is suddenly 10x harder or more deserving of reward when they're bringing a plate with a $100 dish rather than a $10 dish.

I'm a big fan of Moxie. Thanks for all the work you've done to give people a free and secure way of communicating. A truly important cause. Ultra-cynical take: I wonder if there's an element of avoiding conflict-of-interest a

To expand on this a little bit, non-default privacy means that use of privacy features becomes de facto suspicious activity, thus rendering them useless. Another issue with Zcash is that it had a trusted setup, which is not an issue Monero

My understanding of how federated social networks work is that a server operator can firstly moderate the content on their own server as they see fit, and secondly blacklist other servers from syncing data with their own if they don’t appro

This isn’t an anti anti-money laundering. It’s providing the same information as an anti-money laundering service, the only difference is that its access isn’t limited to large exchanges and banks. I, for one, am happy to see this kind of t

As a long time iPhone/Mac user, this change has me seriously looking at Android and Linux for my next devices. Only a couple of months ago I was wondering whether I was too invested in Apple's ecosystem, and what it would take to

If amount staked has no influence on inclusion or vote weight then what’s to stop a large ETH holder from splitting their wallet into several smaller wallets with the minimum staking balance and just gaining vote weight that way?

This particular instance is a disaster, no doubt, but the real issue is the bundling of completely unrelated provisions into single bills. It's absurd.

On iPhone at least when you restart the phone it forces you to use the passcode to unlock the first time. I believe in the US passcodes are protected by the 5th amendment whereas face id or fingerprints are not. So while you can be compelle
