@Lokjo @librewolf
Today I completed my daily driver transition to #LibreWolf ; this thread was the catalyst.
I love love LOVE the idea of a simply stripped-down, un-f--ked #FireFox
I love that it was able to use Sync and pull all my saved stuff directly from mozilla.
My only complaint is that LibreWolf demands to be pro-bono libre volunteers; they won't shut up and take my money!
I still contribute monthly to FF; I pretend it's to fund upstream development.
@beeng IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that "enabling the use of privacy coins" has not been the charge in any US case.
"Money Laundering" is the charge.
And this is why WE NEED DEXES, and why I do what I can to support my preferred project (Haveno)
@tusker @WarmApplePieShrek There is no crypto that is a threat to Fiat.
Monero is a direct threat to *surveillance*
@Hestia @MigratingtoLemmy No crypto is a good tool for the problems involved in money laundering.
Once you connect back to the public system of commercial payments, you have to explain where the funds came from. And nobody’s dumb enough to buy NFTs anymore.
@rattie_ok @Saki The goal is a "Peer-to-peer electronic cash system". If and to the degree that such is realized, this goal has society-changing ramifications. It is money that plays by Internet consensus rules, not by coercive governmental ones.
Realizing this goal requires many design choices.
When faced with its (rather obvious) scaling problem, BTC chose not to change its design but rather to rebrand as "store of value" instead of "electronic cash".
That was the death of honest crypto.
@Wave afaict, they don't have any more information than was already available in the NPD breach.
At this point if you are an adult and have an above-board job, you either have already frozen your credit reports, or you're in the process of being a victim of credit fraud.
