Yes, sometimes it is good to evade the law, because the law might be immoral, for one reason or another, and ranging in severity from not being able to buy weed that helps you, to not being able to flee from a country that might kill you

So there is some legit and morally acceptable use-cases for crypto, but still, it's not much

It's very possible not to use dating apps, you just need to try to meet more (queer) friends. Eventually, as you meet more people as friends, somebody will come along that you hit it off with. Given enough attempts, it's basically guaranteed (law of big numbers and all that)

So, generally, the best steps towards dating is to not try to actively date, but being open to it, and in the meantime trying to love yourself, become genuinely happy if possible (or go to therapy etc), and to hang out in places where other people are, and meet other people and spend time with them as friends.

All of my partners, past partners and current partners, started out as friends (though, I also do a lot of casual sex)

Crypto actually is really useful for evading the law, yes, and so it's good for donating to underground organizations (or to buy drugs or illegal services)

But that's about the only real use-case as far as I can tell

For pole vaulting I'd be surprised if even one person would dare to do the jump. I'm pretty sure I'd chicken out, but to be fair, it looks like it's really easy to get hurt

stop feeding the trolls

Like what? The newspapers that called her trans and said she didn't have any place in the sport??

So should bigotry just be ignored then, even when it's mainstream? Just look the other way?

People always say stuff like "I would not sell my toe for 5 million usd"

And then you rephrase the question into something like

"Would you sell your toe if you never had to work again, could pursue any hobby you wanted within reasonable limits, and could own a reasonable home for the rest of your life?"

And suddenly it seems infinitely more appealing

To me that someone wouldn't cut off their toe (assuming anesthesia and all that) for something like 1 million usd is ridiculous. We already sell so much of ourselves and our time for work and the pursuit of money for survival.

I don't know exactly what my limit would be, but for a toe it might have been closer to somewhere in the tens of thousands of dollars range.

Once one is of a consenting age, sex work is just work

The better question to ask is if it's morally acceptable to force someone to work to not starve? And then there's the whole exploitation of the global south thing.

And at least personally, I'd much rather do sex work than be a coal miner

Nah, it's definitively lust, in my opinion anyway

You know what? You can find enough concrete shit from just reading his twitter for 5 minutes. Stuff posted in the last few weeks.

This is just a lot about people's reactions to something, but nothing about what that something actually was

It'd be nice to see what the actual something was so one could judge for themselves

Edit: I took a look at his twitter, and he seems to be pro-trump and anti-kamala and anti-walz, calling him a socialist who let Minneapolis burn, as well as transphobia thrown in here and there and more that I didn't bother to read

...so I'm gonna go with "the people's reactions to him likely had a point"

Why would you think that sysadmins and application devs wouldn't want to use JPEG XL?

I'm a developer and I like the format

Well, a browser is a massive piece of software, especially if you include the development of a render engine as Firefox does

Web standards evolve constantly, you need to keep up somehow, together with optimizations, bug fixing, patching of security vulnerabilities, etc
