Nice try fed /s

But if you are genuinely curious, here are a few things you can pay for with XMR:

1. You can pay for VPN, many providers like iVPN and Mullvad accept it.
2. There are anonymous hosting platforms like https://njal.la.
3. Recently I discovered Nostr, which is a distributed Twitter alternative less centralized than Mastodon, and there are paid relays you can purchase access to with Monero.

I personaly donate to some Russian media outlets with XMR, which is not exactly a service purchase, but a good way to help them to survive government pressure.

Mostly holding with occasional spending on services that do accept it

The article is not current, but now it’s not the first time people voted for Trump. 2018 wasn’t Biden’s term.

A million or two shitcoins can buy you that easily

Microsoft is famous for nonsensical product and feature renamings. There is Microsoft 365 Copilot in their enterprise offerings, which integrates well with Copilot in Windows. And there is a tool to build your own Copilots with customized logic and data sources.

I don’t think people want to vote for a party. People want to vote for someone who’s making sense for them, and looks like for majority it was Trump this time.

An “actual left wing party” must not only have ideology, but a sound plan on how to improve people’s lives and an ability to communicate this plan to people, loud and clear. Actually, as populists are now trusted everywhere in the world, the plan is less important than communication

Who are “they”? Child trafficking democrats? Oh, sorry, it was from another conspiracy theory.

No offense, I just think that the idea of some masterminds ruling everything from behind the curtains is a bit ridiculous.

Yeah, this scenario seems… feasible. I’ve read people were contemplating Obama to run for Kamala’s VP before Waltz was chosen. And this attempt would certainly end up in Supreme Court.

Russian Constitution literally had this phrase “A same person cannot be a President for more than two terms in a row”, so it was already opened for an interpretation they did. This actually had changed for just “two terms” in 2020, but provided another excuse for Putin to be elected.

Anyhow, in US Constitution the 22nd amendment says that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”, so there is no room for interpretation. Even conservative SCOTUS would not do that.

This looks cool. Would be great if this technology will take a flight. Lockheed Martin is also developing a supersonic civil airplane, X-59 is scheduled for a test flight this year. Comparing both projects is hard given the scarce technical details, but the Chinese plane has much higher maximum speed.

Jeez, what an impressive troll work in the comments

I’m afraid that if the sanctions will continue to be a go-to method of dealing with geopolitical rivals, we may end up with a few divergent forks. One for US and “the west” block, one for Chinese comrades with their junior Russian partners, and maybe one for Indian code gurus who don’t like both sides and have capable engineering resources themselves.

Not nationality but alleged involvement with sanctioned organizations. There are plenty of Russian names on maintainers list remaining.

Cool! This makes more sense now

I don’t know enough of this technology, but the article says they do fracking to “release geothermal energy, not oil and gas”. So I imagine it will have the same ecological damage as fracking. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can explain where I’m wrong.

Yeah, I see someone already told you that American soldiers have been there already, long ago this new deployment. But they didn’t bother to prove it to you, and you didn’t believe them.

Well, let me Google it for you. Very quick search reveals this article from 2017:

Back then it was “dozens of soldiers”, nothing close to thousands another person claimed, though. But I think it’s safe to assume the numbers grew since then.

Oh come on, the header is a clickbait. There is a US military base in Israel already, it’s been there for years. The article is about an announcement that they are sending another missile defense battery with personnel alongside

You can do 2FA with Keepass, just not TOTP. Add a key file or a hardware key on top of your master password and you pass “something that you have and something that you know” test

The new Leaf starts below $30k in US. But the range is still not great at 120 miles tops

Pumpkin spice flavored beer is horrendous. Change my mind.
