 One thing my grandmother with a breathing tube up her nose and barley able to speak told me this.... 
 Mine used to say "Said this on a ride with my motherfucking nigga: most likely gonna die with my finger on the trigger". She died in a shootout.  
 She didn't need them. Made plenty of extra cash selling oxy scripts.  
 Now Incognito fallout is being used to FUD #monero. Interesting. 

This article claims that pharoah used his real ID to cash out XMR from an exchange in Taiwan. Does Taiwan even allow XMR in their exchanges?

 I don't follow tech news, I simply watch geohot on youtube. He has a stable pattern of finding the hypest thing and going full retard with it, then getting bored, and finally moving onto the next hype. iPhone, self-driving, cheapEth, neural net hardware

What's he gonna do next? VR. Probably software for the next Vision Pro 
 It also tells you your ass is about to be robbed 😷🔪 
 @Yonle

Could you write a comparison between Nostr and Scuttlebutt? This one is focusing on details too much instead of practical aspects and goals.

 "Taiwan" translated from Chinese means "Israel" 
 Instead of posting memes and doing evangelism, consider donating to the magic fund. You will not convince bitfags here. #xmr #monero 
 Short for bitcoin maximalists or retards. Thank you for the appreciation, I almost dropped my crackpipe!

 Most computer users these days don't use laptops or desktops. So your argument is irrelevant. Most usage on mobile is not web browser. 

Desktop Linux doesn't have anything nearly as good as Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut Pro, etc. OS X is overall a superior pro laptop/desktop choice. And games are for children.  
 A phone is the most common computer these days. My point is that a casual user doesn't need a desktop, and pro users are better off with Apple.  
 I agree. It's still irrelevant because of change in hardware preference by casual users. For you it's just evangelism, so it's a bit amusing to see you still not grasping this simple observation.  
 Those are a minority of laptop / desktop users nowadays. Now you get why x86 linux is unpopular?

 How many employees are there? Seems like you'd need to know that to disprove the null hypothesis, which would be due to a disproportionately small sample size.

 I once tipped a waitress in Yurop. She was so shocked that she fell in love with me.  
 Enjoy boogers and cum in your burger.  
 In addition to filtering bitcoin posts, I propose filtering all the anarchist bullies who drove my most beloved follower @NSA 🇺🇲☑️ away. 
Anyone who speaks ill of the government, who is not gay for the US of A should be tracked and put into camps. If they're overseas, their cities should be left looking like Detroit. Bullying is not okay.  
 Glad to see your support. Hallelujah  
 #DuckDuckGo #search is down right now. What is a good #privacy respecting alternative? #asknostr 
 Never used this. What's it for? 
 So I watched a few documentaries about the pirate bay. It's a bit sad that the founders didn't really benefit from it. Although they never expected to make any money from it anyway. Their funding came from an eccentric millionaire, and their site design was extremely simple light and efficient. 

I see some demand for torrents here. #soulseek and #ipfs mentions. Perhaps relays can function as a tracker?

Piracy and torrents are a more fascinating case of a p2p software triumph compared to crypto. People would seed for no reason aside from acting against Hollywood Juden. Behind the noble slogans is just a simple desire to consume media for free. 

Is it relevant? I find only a tiny number of big budget productions interesting these days. Maybe there's a good movie once a year. So torrents don't even matter when there's nothing interesting to download.  
 Too many sequels. They play too safe. A24 is okay though
