  • I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), it’s not like I’m using 1600 kWh… The original message is misleading in that regard… Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (that’s why they wouldn’t use that)… So… There’s that.

    Anyway, the dichotomy ‘AI or Crypto’ is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.

    Tbh it’s the first time I see her name (iirc), and thanks to that everything, including the answer she received, was “amusing” to me.

    She pretty much sounds like any of the current right-wing populists and anarchocapitalists. This is an american trend, sadly winning force everywhere… This meme is fully on-topic across the western world :(








  • Shitpost. Indeed… From Wikipedia:

    In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin (“un conte satirique contre Staline”),[7] and in his essay, “Why I Write” (1946), wrote: “Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”.
