It seems unnecessary duplication of effort to repeat everything on different platforms. I’d rather get people to use Lemmy by not having Lemmy seem dead.

I don’t understand how people have time for multiple social media. How do you read/reply to everything on Lemmy and do something else?

I use fake toner in my brother.

It’s not inkjet but you can get passible color on laser. You need to go into settings and tell it it’s a photo and you want max quality. I have a Brother color laser.

I have no idea what the admins are doing with lemmy.world but every day the ai_reddit community posts are near the top despite only 1 upvote on posts and I’m not subscribed to that community.

He didn’t need the job, they needed him.

Only on some and name brand PC’s which used it for compatibility. For home built or local store, the turbo would overclock. I remember telling a friend, that although their 16mhz could run at 20, to not do it because it would compromise longevity! Ha! Mind you the cpu’s in those days didn’t have heat sinks but still- Oh no your 386 might not work in 20 years from running too hot!

One of the things I did was to run mulvad in a virtual machine and use a different web browser in the vm than I used normally. This makes tracking much harder because they rely on website fingerprinting to identify you independently of your ip address.

Is the anime worth watching? If so, which? Was the 2017 a remake or following later manga?

but we’re literally talking about a potential currency alternative so the process/method is extremely relevant.

You are holding up an imaginary system (crypto with all the safety of a credit card) against the existing credit card. We weren’t discussing potential ways crypto could be fixed. As crypto exists today it is not immune to fraud as you claimed.

yes it’s actually important to understand how money moves

I claimed credit cards protect consumers. You countered with "For example we know things like card skimmers " Once I explained that consumers are still protected you tried to make it about the process of a credit card company recovering their money which has fuck all to do with consumer protection. You invented a personal definition for fraud not because you don’t speak English but because your claim that crypto protects against fraud was bad.

You are not arguing in good faith.

I wish it was that way. Soo many ads are completely irrelevant. The only platform where I get good ads is google news (the swipe left on Pixel). It’s filled with Adafruit ads. I’m cool with that.

I’m not questioning the end user impact lmao

Their internal mechanisms and work with police work is irrelevant to me as a consumer. It is therefore irrelevant for you to bring it up.

You are arguing that a new car warranty doesn’t exist because a dealership has to pay a mechanic to fix the defective car they sold. You are ridiculous.

I’m from Texas, I am a licensed financial professional

Then you god damn know the actual definition of fraud not your silly redefinition.

Gtfo.

You must know that’s not actually how it works,

That is exactly how it works. A credit card isn’t a debit card. I have had my card number stolen. I saw weird charges on my card, called my credit card company and they reversed those charges immediately. No arguing was necessary because credit card companies work for you. Again this is a credit card, not a bank debit card.

That is something that could be done with crypto as well.

It can’t be done with crypto because you are transferring direct. You would need someone in between in which case you have reinvented banking.

Your edit isn’t fraud, it’s scamming lol

I’m getting the impression you aren’t in the US or British and don’t speak English natively. This could be why we are having problems communicating.

Umatic came out in 1971. But it was too expensive for most consumers. My brother in law had one because his family business was TV repair.

Would the taxi companies that owned all the medallions have allowed this to happen if their existence wasn’t threatened? Or would they lobby to stop this at all cost because it doesn’t benefit them?

No taxi lobby stopped Uber.

So hundreds are dying due to Uber?

There is a sexual assault every 8 minutes caused by an Uber driver.

Googling says for example Uber has 400 assaults in San Francisco and the taxi industry had 14.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/us/uber-driver-murder-trial.html#%3A~%3Atext=Former+Uber+Driver+Pleads+Guilty%2CU.S.

I can’t find any examples of taxi drivers murdering their passengers. All news is about taxi drivers being murdered by their customers.

. For example we know things like card skimmers exist and you have to take actions to prevent those things from impacting you as well.

If your card is stolen, you are still safe. The credit card company reverses the charges.

US banking system where things like bank runs can and do happen

That’s a horrible example because that’s exactly the same as what happens with crypto on a daily basis. When a crypto is dumped, it’s value plummets leaving bag holders.

With banks your money is insured up to $250,000.

Global monetary supply isn’t fraud.

your life savings because you kept all your cash on you

Which is why I didn’t say cash. I said credit card. If you are mugged and your credit card is stolen, you call the credit card company, report the theft, and you lose nothing. They don’t hold you responsible for the list money.

Your dad’s bank account was hacked and his money was returned by the bank TWICE. That’s the opposite of fraud.

Crypto cannot do that.

Edit: this is fraud:

Cities have a medallion system to prevent congestion of taxis on the roads. If there was a problem, increasing the number of medallions and scheduling surge pricing (like NYC has done with all cars now) would have improved service.

Alternately, simply declaring Uber a taxi service and subject to employment laws would have fixed most everything.

I guess since flying is a hassle, I should buy a jet and land it in parking lots to make it convenient for consumers. So what if a few hundred die a year if tens of thousands have easier air travel.

I literally said it doesn’t prevent scamming just like cash.

You claimed crypto is immune to fraud.

I then showed how old fashion credit card is better. I didn’t say cash.

My father had his bank account drained twice

My nephew lost all his crypto to malware.

Your father’s bank “nearly” didn’t refund but actually did. So you proved that banks provide safety. Credit cards provide even stronger safety between you and businesses. My nephew’s crypto was gone with absolutely no recourse.

The overall supply of most crypto is known

That has absolutely nothing to do with fraud or losing your crypto to malware.

Your comment was interesting but a complete non sequitur to start with the claim “I disagree”.

Nothing you wrote refuted the claim that the current “war on Iran” is more of a terrorist operation. Ukraine has boots on the ground so it’s not really comparable to Ukraine.
