PGP can also do that, properly implemented, a PGP key with a large web of trust, can be just as effective at making immutable certified statements without having this weird cash based speech thing that crypto has going for it.

The fact that every single action you do with crypto involves spending money is ridiculous. I don't mean the scams and stuff, I mean, every single thing, every transaction, every smart contract, every interaction, who wants to play around with a system that just pilfers your cash from you just for the privilege of exploring it.

At least with aws I can run code locally before they rob me.

Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

Sorry patent trolls, you can't make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

Just because you don't know the difference doesn't make it splitting hairs.

Declarative, functional code is by definition much closer to ai prompts than any imperative code. Businesses are just scared of functional programming because they think that by adopting oop then can make developers interchangeable, the reality is that encapsulation is almost never implemented in a proper way and we should be instead focusing on languages that enforce better systems over slamming oop into everything.

Hell, almost every modern developer agrees that inheritance is just bad and many frown upon polymorphic code as well.

So if we can't properly encapsulate, we don't want inheritance or polymorphism, we don't want to modify state, what are we even doing with oop?

Immigrants bring their culture (and thus, cuisine)

Why would a system meant to maximize the profit of the bar block out their best customers?

They only want to block fighters and predators because it hurts business, not for any moral reasons.

For "free" except you need thousands of dollars upfront for hardware and a full hardware/software stack you need to maintain.

This is like saying azure is cooked because you can rack mount your own PC

That's not a USB drive, it's an adapter.

When I lived in South Carolina, I had a friend who needed quick cash, he had

: 4 handguns, : a long barrel rifle, : a cross bow, : a shotgun

He asked me if I knew anyone who may want to buy any of it, so I texted a coworker I thought might be interested.

He showed up with around $1500 in cash handed it to my friend, packed it all up in his car and drove away, they didn't even learn each others names.

The sale was completely legal, and took about 15 minutes.

In many states there are effectively NO barriers to stop people from getting a gun legally.

How do you solve for example, de-federation with government owned instances ( which I imagine many would do)

Mastodon suffers the same problem as Twitter, if the people in control of the servers don't like it, they get to be arbitrate for their users. The solution is not for everyone to host their own instance as it's just immensely wasteful and complex, and since de-federation is not positively communicated, one can go a very long time before realizing they are getting content filtered unwillingly.

I just don't see how this problem (specific content being blocked) would be solved by the Kamala Harris's campaign team having a mastodon instance.
