Are you... raw dogging the internet without an ad blocker? You poor soul

OP is an idiot, could have easily continued the joke

Your constitution was already pretty terrible and outdated, clinging to it has been one of America's problems for a while now.

But yeah I totally agree with you

A banking system running on Blockchain

Is an astronomically terrible idea. It:

  • would use as much electricity as an entire country
  • payments/transfers would be both much slower AND much more expensive than via a bank
  • would have no protection against fraud. You got scammed? Your money's gone. You paid for something online and it never arrived? Too bad
  • would have no way to stop money laundering
  • would have no way to help people who forgot their password, they'd just lose their life savings permanently
  • would tie up a bunch of capital, preventing reinvestment and growth. There would be no way to get a bank loan to buy a house for example
  • the list goes on

I only recently found out about iPhones having 50% market share in the US and that's insane to me. I think anyone who's used both Android and iPhones a lot knows that iPhones are both a worse product and worse value for money, so in a fair market they would be the minority

You missed a very important one, fix the main reason billionaires don't pay any tax:

Using your unrealised gains (e.g. shares) as collatoral to take out loans should be considered realising those gains and thus subject to capital gains tax

It's amazing how much people will upvote something without reading it if the title confirms their biases

Even just calling it a "new study" is already a lie

[-] miridius@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago

The studies are from 2018 and 2020, "new study" in the post title is a complete lie

Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

It would be nice to spend one day on Lemmy without seeing a half dozen posts telling me to switch to Firefox nor 100 comments on every post that's even vaguely browser-adjacent about how ever since they switched to Firefox their life has been nothing but joy and rainbows

Pretty important detail missing from the headline:

However, if ending the war would include Russia returning the territories that it has occupied and annexed throughout the conflict, only a third (34 percent) of respondents said they would support that decision.
