None that I’m aware of. I guess it’s possible, but I have not seen it be the case yet.

Edit: I can tell you for a fact that the ones I’m listing are legitimate. And if you don’t believe me, try purchasing one with the multi-signature escrow.

I got some oceanfront property in Arizona. I’d be glad to sell you.

It’s also used to buy baking pans, dove soap, coffee makers, and toasters. Xmrbazaar.com

Firefox gets tons of funding from Google, and their code is quite frankly humongous. From what I understand, it’s extremely hard to get the gecko web view engine to work. In another browser, unless it’s a fork of Firefox, unlike Chromium where you can just redesign an entire browser around it.

Fair enough, there’s some really golden information in this thread.

What about those military things that they use to disperse crowds? Where it makes you feel like your skin is cooking, but it’s actually not. I feel like that uses high power and high frequency radio waves to accomplish that.

The higher the frequency, the worse that is. So standing very close to an HF antenna that only broadcasts up to like say 30 megahertz is different than standing next to a 700 megahertz cell phone antenna, which is different from standing next to a 2.5 gigahertz cell phone antenna. The reasoning for that is due to power levels and wavelength of the radio signal itself.

You know, that’s a good point. I didn’t even think of that. But you’re right.

Mind crossposting this to !t_mobile@lemmy.ml?

Also, they will lose. The FCC has said that the companies can build towers where they are needed for coverage. They might have to make it look like a tree or something, but they cannot be rejected from building it.

I actually prefer to buy mid range phones that are brand new instead of buying phones that are a few generations old just because I know that with a new device the battery is new and I treat my batteries very well like only charging to 80% and so on. So I’m a lot more likely to buy like the Pixel A series or like the Motorola G series and such than I am to buy the latest Pixel flagship or whatever.

Yeah, that one is beyond me as well.

Inflation won’t go away unless you switch to a currency that doesn’t inflate. And yes, inflation is a tax. It’s just a tax you don’t know you’re paying because it’s hidden from you. Instead of having less dollars in your balance, your dollar just buys less, which is the same thing.

Without 52%+ taxes people would have enough to live on and save. (15% from your pay, 15% from your salary that your employer takes automatically, 10% sales tax, 12% inflation). I didnt count all the other taxes such as property ad velorem, gas, etc.)

Sprint would have failed without the merger and we would have had three carriers anyway so it doesn’t matter whether they merged or not and in fact it’s probably better that they did because it caused T-Mobile’s service to improve dramatically since then. I knew friends who had T-Mobile back in 2012 and it was a joke. I had T-Mobile in 2016 and it was only okay.

Hey, that’s an awesome setup.

So much more efficient then.

Oh, gotcha. So crypto mining is bad, because he can’t make money off of it. But AI is just fine, because he can make tons of money off of it. I understand now. Makes perfect sense.

Everybody has something of value they can contribute to society. So people need to find what that is for them and do that for somebody else. If you’re good at washing dishes, then go wash dishes. If you’re good at painting houses, then go paint houses. The libertarian mindset, at least from what I can gather, is a hand up, not a hand out.

Which is why I’ve been buying nothing except OEM unlocked devices since 2016 I Payful price for them, but I don’t have to worry about leaving my carrier Whenever I want and I don’t have to be on extremely expensive cell phone plans either. There is nobody else in my entire life that pays less for cell phone service than I do and I only know one person who pays the exact same and that’s because we are on the same plan on our own accounts. Literally, everybody I know in my life pays about four times what I do for cell phone service.

I would support community fundraisers to help people get out of situations that are bad for them. So for example, LGBTQ people who live in LGBTQ friendly places could raise money to support others who are currently living in Texas and need to move away.
