Transactions are public. But wallet ownership is not.
That's why it's widely used in cybercrime. You can make a wallet and authorities may know which wallet receibe the money, but it may be imposible to link that wallet with an actual person.
It should be just a browser option.
You set cookies on or off, ans the browser sends the option in the headers. Websites just need to take the option from the header instead of a banner.
It's like no longer having one cheap and convinient way of seeing content makes people rather pirate things than paying 7 different platforms each one more expensive than the next and all of them trying to mess with you and your wallet in new and unexpected ways.
Why tech companies keep getting worse and worse and worse?
I can't wait to have to download a crack for my browser so a website thinks that my browser is using wei and no-adblock.
I don't know who expected the fediverse to be the most secure and private network of the world.
It's a "independent" and open source social media platform. A better place to be than corporate social media. That's it.
There's footage of random censored circles appearing over the best ones, like the guillotine. Before the end every reference will be erased. U/Spez is a Muak count wannabe.
I don't have the money to sustain the "everything is a subscription" simple as that. So adblockers and piracy is the only way to get media content.
I still go to the cinema, but some cinemas over here are already experimenting with subscriptions.
They should be charged for trying to attack a service using malicious practices. People only learn when their actions have consequences.
I've been in forums where upvotes were public. It's not something that I expect to be anonymous by design.
That being said. If something is public, it should be clear that is public (and available to everyone), if it's not it should be protected.
I think Lemmy should go one way or the other, or upvotes are public to everyone, or they are available only for you instance admins.
It's like they host those sites on a apache server.
Lemmy is just the subjacent software that runs an instance.
Authorities would track the illegal content the same way they do on any other website I wouldn't worry too much about it. Also descentralized illegal content exist since P2P protocols exist. I don't see anything new with lemmy.
If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing.
