Reading through that #Divachain meme presentation.
First they rip on crypto and blockchain, then a few slides later they reveal a blockchain that uses their own token.
Already 2 red flags!
First red flag being the fact that it's DNS (aka, centralized authority) for I2P (aka, has no fucking centralized authority).
So already glows in the dark before you even start reading anything!

More red flags:
1. Project is hosted on Github: http://goyhub.i2p/diva-exchange/diva-dockerized
2. Blockchain lives inside of a Docker container.
3. Demo and testnet are on the clearnet.

And I bet they've been developing it on Windblows 11 too.
Plus while they're talking big on I2P, they only seem to have a clearnet websoyte in WordPress.
Plus while they're talking big on privacy, they only seem to chat on Telegram.
Sorry, but I can't take them seriously at all.

So, did you guys know that currently for at least 5 hours, potentially since February 1st, there's been a Chinese Spy Balloon hovering over Montana?

Did you also know the Pentagon refuses to shoot it down because its "not safe" to?

Its 3 busses wide, and has a technology bay.

This begs the question, how did a spy balloon get into our airspace unnoticed, and why wasn't it shot down immediately? Wouldn't this also be considered an act of war? (Genuinely asking the last one)

The AI art issue is increasingly frustrating and alarming. I'm genuinely scared of the possibility of E-Luddites making copyright law worse just to preserve their jerbs. If learning from or memorizing other's artwork is IP theft by law, then we're headed for a cyberpunk dystopia when mind-reading/brain chip tech becomes standard. Imagine your brain getting copyright-striked because you had the Bionicle Dream.

@ArdainianRight @Moon if a profit minded service costs no money for you to use it, then you are the product being sold to the service's real customers.

Fun Fact: the Federal Income tax is a temporary war measure to fund the Civil War.

Since there still a federal income tax, this naturally implies the Government is still at war with its own citizens.

Good luck with all the blocking of devices :netflix:

3 years later, 10 streaming services, 12 bucks each, now blocking devices that fall ‘outside households’

And they wonder why we all return to ThePirateBay :thepiratebay: and such :bloblaugh:

I’m okay with one or two but a dozen? No thanks, set sail for The Pirate Bay! :pirate:
