A good way to break kyc is by exchanging gift cards at Christmas (or whenever). They don’t ask who you’re giving them out to around that time of year so you can tumble ccs between friends indiscriminately.

You will be making a terrible, stupid and wholly avoidable mistake that can never be undone if you allow others to keep you from attending your own fathers funeral because they make you uncomfortable.

E: you are giving ground by not attending. You already have the right to the ground, you were explicitly asked to attend the funeral. If you choose to be bullied out of the funeral you are giving up the ground you were invited to occupy.

It is an act of cowardice, a retreat, if you don’t attend.

If you’re truly above these people then don’t let them push you around and honor your dying loved one’s wishes in spite of their bullshit!

I should have been way more clear: the cost of dereferencing a pointer is orders of magnitude lower than the cost of traversing the filesystem and searching for files that contain a string.

Using bitcoin is making them dereference a pointer.

Using cash is forcing them to search the whole filesystem looking for a string in a file.

If even one of your bitcoin transactions is tied to you then every other transaction linked to that wallet is also tied to you. Now you could use separate wallets but literally no one does that.

You should really not rely on bitcoin. Laundered gift cards are more private.

On the off chance that you have a background in computers: what’s the difference between an address and a pointer to some address?

For the purposes of reaching the address, there isn’t one.

The blockchain is an immutable distributed ledger of all transactions conducted on it. A ledger is a record including the recipient and source.

People can just look on the blockchain and see that the numerical id goes to the wallet you filled using a credit card.

If at any point a transaction gets tied to your identity now every transaction conducted with that wallet or any ids associated with it is tied to your identity.

There are myriad ways to tie a transaction to a persons identity.

Consider instead cash. There is no immutable ledger. A person investigating cash transactions would have to do significantly more legwork to find out when and where you were at some place, what was purchased and gather evidence and wrangle witnesses in a way that would preclude them from simply not cooperating with the investigation.

It is much more difficult to investigate cash transactions than those conducted with crypto.

It is much easier to conduct cash transactions in a way that protects your identity than it is with crypto.

Not much, what’s aboutsignal.com with you?

It’s worth recognizing that almost no cryptocurrencies are anonymous.

If I can do it with cash then hell yeah.

They are used to getting “non-political” content because Reddit kicked out the “political” people and closed the “political” subs.

Going to the place that those people and communities now reside and complaining that everything feels “political” is ridiculous, but there might be good reasons why a person would do it, like you said.

You’re right that it’s not unreasonable to ask for what they’re asking for. That’s why I tried my god damnedest to clearly and kindly explain that this might not be the right place for them. Not everywhere needs to be for everyone. It’s not an insult to tell someone they’re looking for the library, this is the bus terminal.

Others are espousing different ways to harness the technology using blocks and a subscription feed. If someone believes that an alternative to corporate social media should be for everyone (an explicitly political belief!) then that will be borne out by successful block and sub use. The user might also not succeed at using those tools. In that case they don’t have to stay. They can recognize that they want the curated, “nonpolitical” experience of Reddit. I am not making a judgement of them for wanting that, only recommending they go and get what they want.

That’s what the landscape of sleep is like.

E: The just read the thread and at this moment half the responses are some variation of “yeah I tried a bunch of stuff and it doesn’t work” and the other half are “it works perfectly for my precise state definition on this particular piece of hardware”. My comment is 100% correct and useful information about the state of sleep in Linux at the moment.

Not everything is a fight. Consider reading people’s comments and posts in the voice of miss rachel or something.

This isn’t the right place for your post, but that’s okay. Lemmy is way more spread out than Reddit, so you should make a post like this in every community you intend to use. They’ll be named like the subs you used to like. You’ll find the people you’re looking for much faster that way.

The op is welcome here. When they don’t want to be here they’re welcome to not be.

They can leave. It’s not a bad thing. It’s not an admonition or reprisal for me to say that.
