If it isn’t Nick Szabo, it is somebody who has spent years ensuring all clues point to nobody but Nick Szabo, up to and including placing a Satoshi nakamoto statue in a rural Polish town where Nick Szabo’s grandfather was born.

Let’s just look at this logically: if you had written the 30+ papers building the ideas that eventually became bitcoin, actually were building bitcoin and months away from releasing, and then had all your work stolen without credit nor citation, you wouldn’t be the world’s biggest supporter of bitcoin. You would be mad that somebody stole your work and then spent years framing you for its creation.

The first usage of the word bitcoin was even on Nick Szabo’s own blog, under a comment by the user Eddie. This leads to two outcomes: Eddie is Satoshi, or Nick’s work wasn’t stolen, bit gold is bitcoin and Nick is Satoshi.

I like Cory Doctorow.

However, I bought the novel Rabbits solely because Doctorow had a front cover blurb praising the novel.

It was downright a bad novel. Doctorow owes me $16.

It’s truly not even a mystery.

There is only one person on earth who had both the skills and experience to create bitcoin, and actually was working to create bitcoin in the months leading up to the white paper.

That person is Nick Szabo.

Tolerance is a social contract. People who practice intolerance are not owed anything.

Hail Satoshi!

Fiona’s Limp works better.

2 gigs is not a lot.

I signed up to the main instance ran by the French company. It appeared that a single video hadn’t been uploaded in 2 years and I couldn’t find how to see videos from other instances.

The entire service needs a redesign if people are going to switch.

The Nazis did not hate capitalism.

But my credit union is both more convenient and more secure than crypto.

I think Kim Kardashian once claimed to work like 12 hours a day, but we can look through the footage, the act of filming to her means that lunch with her mother and riding a quad in Hawaii counts as labor.

I deserved you calling me a sheeple, Alex.

I am glad to see that in his personal bankruptcy, Alex Jones has decided to spend the free time here on Lemmy…

Welcome to have you, Ale, I can’t wait to hear more about the chicken fried steak that God talked to you through.

Putting more knowledge in a box isn’t going to create a lifeform. I have even listened to Sam Altman state they are not going to get a life form from just pretraining, though they are going to continue making advances there until the next breakthrough comes along.

Rest assured, as an AI doomsayer myself, I promise you they are nowhere close to sentience.

I am not shocked.

I disagree.

We know what META is about and what they do. We came here because we didn’t want to be treated as products and used as experiments constantly watched by “AI algorithm”.

The smartest thing anybody ever said to me is, “don’t let a pimp have access to the battered woman’s shelter.”

Almost all of us are here because we have either always thought that, or grew to think that.

Piracy doesn’t take money from artists, just ask Cory Doctorow, a person making their living as a writer while uploading the torrents of his novels himself.

Corporate consolidation is what kills the artists. The studios make less movies per year, so the a list actors go to television and take the roles Rob Morrow used to get.

KGRG is world famous among radio fans. Those kids have the pulse.

What does this mean?

I love Lemmy, but the harassment and sock puppet accounts is a huge fucking issue. It seems like some of the main instances are just tankies who won’t allow anybody else to have an enjoyable time
