your thinking the average as the mean.

I’m meaning average to be 20th percentile.

meaning “most” people where your average would only include half of all people.

my favourite park ranger quote was talking about why bear proof bear garbage containers weren’t better. The answer was along the lines of there’s a siginificat overlap between cleaver bears, and not so cleaver people.

you have to account for more than average, you have yo account for below it, so that its accesaible to more than 50% of people.

“Put the thing in the slot”.

Which slot? Where?

“Formatting it”

Format a drive? What’s that?

“Its nor brain surgery”.

Your assuming a tech literacy that simply doesnt exisit in the general populace.

All your points about HDDs being physical assume you have computer knowledge to know what to do with a HDD.

There’s USB ones, but that’s what your limited to when it comes to casual users who just want it to work.

Everyone old enough knows how to handle a CD.

yes, because hording money got us into this mess.

Why should you Proffitt so much off what used to be other people’s labour, and now plagiarism machine.

why do you expect me to sympathize with you.

I make good money on my own, and I do my best to NOT find the cheapest solution out there for my problems, and look for more ethical ways to spend my money. Because I care about my impact on others over my money. it’s having humanity.

so… that made it okay?

“well it doesn’t effect me directly other than my bottom line, so sucks for everyone else”

if all you have to say is that, have the day you deserve.

you missed the plot a little.

it’s not that it doesn’t have use cases. It burning the world down with it.

how much more water went down the drain cooling the requests you made? how about the electricity not going to local consumers but AI data centers.

all the computer components shortages…

that’s still before the fact you admitted you would have hired a human, and given them food on the table instead of a corporate giant to buy another mega yacht.

so that’s not the same person you replied to. Nor am I.

no one said anything about legality.

but that this points known hackers at your door.

nice personal attack instead of giving advantages to cash…

1. sure it can replace cash, but at the cost of mining, and actual usability. anything can replace cash. doesn’t mean it will.

2. again, this is still possible with existing systems of cash, so I don’t know who and how will benefit more from crypto.

3. how often do people actually do that? the most that happens is when my aunt mails me… get this… cash.

until you need actual cash, in which case you give your identity to any reputable exchange.

also who actually benefits from “decentralized” transactions? specifically who and how.

also, that anonymity is what cash is for.

serious question, what power has Bitcoin gained away from banks?

there’s a lot more to the article than open source

I think it’s the contradiction of trying to fight censor ship while also praising the US government, who is in a stream of heavy censorship. just look at that 60 min episode.

because writing is a good skill to have professionally.

also, you have the itch, so why care if people read?

do it for you then!

forgive my snarkiness. its usually the quickest way to this realization.

what has been published by deep seek is the music, not the software, the music.

can you show me the actual source code?

the human readable code, not the weights.
