That has nothing to do with "mining". It's like saying that monks saying vespers are "mining cryptocurrency" if you offer to give the Pope a bitcoin.

It does have everything to do with setting up a rival religion to eclipse the Pope, one which actually MEASURES its worshippers' devotion. And every moment of doubt WILL be counted against them FOREVER.

a brain wave or body heat emitted from the user when the user performs the task provided by an information service provider, such as viewing an advertisement or using certain internet services, can be used in the mining process

Couple this with the wrist controller designed by Facebook. This way corporations will be able generate wealth in a more direct way than selling ad space or personal data. Funny that when they talk about an "information service provider" they refer to an ad company.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to talk about Raddle while saying it's good. (okay, you didn't really say it's good, but you're suggesting to me a bit) Not only Raddle is heavily leftist, it's also of the bad type, which is the “social justice warrior” type. So please, don't use it. Although, maybe I could add Ramble to the list if I write a comment or an e-mail. (I would complain about them using ProtonMail, but uhh, I use it too… that would make me a hypocrite)

Okay, here's an anomaly: I followed that link, got to the list of alternate forums ( https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/forum-list.html ), checked to see if Ramble was on it ... got to a site that looks like this one, active forum, called Raddle. No listing for Ramble. There's probably a whole bunch of alt-universes through Tor ... is there a Razzle, Raggle, Raddle... ? Seems like there should be more crossovers.

I want to live in a world where a web browser has a permanently fixed timer in the corner of the screen. After that timer reaches zero, you need to either buy some vbucks to keep using the site or move on.

Reply to comment by Rambler in I want a Computer that I Own by HMTg927

I have not been all that reliable at keeping abreast on the subject, but last time I checked, your ISP will not know you are using TOR if you go in via a VPN, as the trail deadends there. As for Musk, he's too busy playing Star Trek, and imagining himself Zefram Cochrane, than focus on anything more practical:

I don't think Reddit is broken by design, something which is apparent from the existence of [RAMBLE] (which uses basically the same general structure). I think the main issue is the general commercialization of the internet and the existence of the attention economy. Good article.

This is not the first time Cloudflare has done this stuff. I forget who was targeted previously (8chan? voat? Someone else?). The point being, who but a 'tard would trust them not to do the same crap again? If someone sucker punches you, are you really that stupid to let him move behind you ever again? Apparently yes.
