The protocol isn’t even the issue, banks already use XRP.

It’s the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam’s globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

Everyone trades in USD because it’s the de facto currency and it’s stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn’t currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone’s neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.

This is why lots of software has started adopting SSPL license which doesn’t actually fix the problem and isn’t a FOSS license.

I still think a new license scheme should be considered though. Giants like AWS and Google have been profiteering off of FOSS for way too long now.

AGPL has been deemed generally successful in this regard because it has been upheld in court cases and forced companies to comply, which it seems to work pretty great for SaaS.

The problem is these giants will usually just choose a more permissive alternative anyway. Both MongoDB and Redis have forks that they can use, and GPL itself is permissive enough for private forking being legal.

I don’t mind when people eat fast food, but I do get annoyed when people brag about eating fast food.

Especially now that prices have inflated so it’s no longer corporate factory machine cheap.

There are so many random food places even in the most rundown parts of a city that have both much better quality and bang for buck.

I’d even argue you’re not getting an authentic philly cheese if you get it from a place that’s not in the ghetto or has been advertised online in any capacity. And the funny thing is the real one is usually cheaper too.

I like how Pakistan is striped as if they didn’t just throw away billions of dollars of chinese investments for some IMF loans because the US told them to lol.

Also Afghanistan being green which actually happened right before Pakistan’s thing

EDIT: Also India which always gets refused US arm tech sales because they exclusively buy from Russia lol. It’s like enemy of my enemy but also friend of my other enemy.

I mean it was the NSA that sat on eternal blue for something like 10 years.

And just seeing the defaults on Active Directory would make anyone believe they pay Microsoft to keep windows insecure.

Can’t wait to run NSA SElinux on a Chinese OEM RISC-V machine in the future.

Double the security

…

Or maybe double the backdoors lmao

You’d have to pay KSA double their oil money to take Palestine.

Probably better luck convincing Egypt or Iraq to take if we’re actually gonna go down this utterly stupid route.

Also Hamas doesn’t even have proper C&C. On top of the reality thay this isn’t a videogame, practically nothing will change.

I just browse “All” and I keep getting slapped with “Kamala actually cares about Gaza and understands the complexities of the situation so plz vote plz I beg we need this so bad no don’t go actually look at the ongoing genocide just plz vote” posts

They actually did until it backfired on them and now Iran is ultra conservative and the only Middle East nation not a shill state.

Even if the UN buckled under pressure, I have a sneaking suspicion Ireland would not care lol.

Also very nice of them to ask the UN for things after banning entry to the UN general secretary.

Yeah this letter was penned by a whopping 4 democrats. I’m sure there are more, but nothing close to a majority.

No but obviously Russia would attack their own pipeline in a 4D chess move for public PR. Reddit assured me it’s true.

Full attention on Uighurs but absolutely nothing is happening in Gaza -Blinken probably

Bruh they really airstriked their HQ because he agreed to a ceasfire.

And it’s not even something unbelievable because Nasrallah already mentioned way back in Octobor that he was very reluctant to join in with Hamas’s attack.

They killed Ismail Haniyeh for the same reason.

Israel spent decades pacifying their enemies, and now they’re literally too passive to use as a reason for expansion.

If anything we have more chances of seeing change once Kamala is in office than Trump.

This isn’t even hopium it’s just straight up delusional.

No but blindly vote blue

Trump would be worse than the 20 billion dollars of pre approved bombs I can assure you

No such thing as a bad Democrat candidate amirite

I don’t know why the guy just assumed every linux and BSD machine runs cups-browsed by default?

It took me literally 5 seconds to check that it’s disabled on Fedora by default.

Then he wrote a whole paragraph about how no one should use CUPS for printing because based off of his own analysis, it’s some insanely crappy and insecure system.

Which is actually stupid because the only alternative is windows??? Which is universally known for printer driver and spooler vulnerabilities.

Then he got mad the the maintainer for patching before his disclosure…

The United States is determined to prevent Iran and Iranian-backed partners and proxies from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict,

Also Israel literally right now: “Lmao let’s exploit the situation we created and expand the conflict”

Actually I think the CCP views them as a political threat. They probably already get enough since they technically jointly own businesses and can just take assets at any time.

Probably let them become successful and then follow up with a threat to make sure they don’t become a problem while vaguely pointing at Jack Ma

The loser research paper vs the chad blog tutorial

^ literally anything related to buffer overflow attacks lol
