This is one of the few posts I put publicly and I ask for a Boost!

The logical (unfortunately) next step: #Bitcoin miners buy old fossil fuel power plants and fire them up again. Le sigh. https://www.nysfocus.com/2021/04/13/new-york-bitcoin-mining-threat/

#Bitcoin is decentralised and globally distributed, they said.

"From prison to Nobel prize. They ceded to Mandela

Why is this happening? What is the reason behind this?"

Accents should be celebrated and let to thrive ofc, I get sick of people saying "Not being racist but I couldn't understand their accent, they were from India or something" or whatever.

Please remember: functional cookies (login session, shopping carts) do not need user consent. So every time you see one of this oversized cookie banners someone is trying (often through dark patterns) to make you accept the whole tracking and spying as well. Don't be mad at the legislative for creating the need for tracking consent. Be mad at the websites that are trying to stir you up against that law by annoying you with those banners.
