sampa | 2 years ago | on: Forum reactions to Satoshi's Bitcoin paper
I think it's easy.
Tech people like to think they're very smart, and yet most of them have missed bitcoin, being arrogant (though many of them heard about it and could have it since the beginning)
So it's more of an act of self-defense.

when the banks fall and the system is collapsing, this is their only answer
see 2008, 2020

yes, "money printer go brr" moment is coming
this is the only thing governments all over the world are going to do when everything falls apart
sampa | 2 years ago | on: Alexei Navalny has died
well, that's a lesson for every western-backed opposition wannabe:
don't trust your German handlers (probably told him, they will support him like a murderer Khodorkovsky, and get him out later)
prisons are bad for your health
sampa | 2 years ago | on: Someone bought 26.9 BTC on Binance and sent it to Satoshi's dead wallet
somebody has shorted btc and sent this transaction hoping the crowd goes crazy 'satoshi is back, now he'll dump all his bitcoins, SELL!!1!'
didn't work.
because anybody can send money to any address, doesn't prove a thing

well of course nobody would have NSA_friendly_override() in the source
plausible deniability is essential in such cases, hence the term bugdoor

or Apple just implemented this "API" for them, because they've asked nicely
sampa | 2 years ago | on: Turkish central bank raises interest rate to 42.5% to combat high inflation
erdonomics at its finest
PS say what you want, it's been more than a year of high inflation and you can't say that it ruined the economy

sampa | 2 years ago | on: Plan for Windows 10 End of Support
I run Windows in VM only for gaming (vfio videocard passthrough on Linux).
So couldn't care less what's inside - win10 or win11.

sampa | 2 years ago | on: Speaker Support in Asahi Linux
everything about asahi feels like it's an apple's product: everywhere you look - it is always "amazing"!
but so far no finally usable implementation exists even for m1 macbooks and they age quickly, and I doubt people will see anything usable in the end (yeah, you might get a fully working Linux on your old dusty m1 when you buy m7, happy?).
so far it is achievements for the sake of achievements

sampa | 2 years ago | on: Raspberry Pi 5
I was hoping for usb-c outputs vs miniHDMI (yeah, I know, they probably want to be compatible ith rpi4 cases, but still...)
sampa | 2 years ago | on: Nearly 500 brands exited smartphone market during 2017-2023
I miss HTC (yeah, they're not dead officially, yet).
From making ODM PDAs/phones for Dell/Compaq/HP/Google to becoming one of the top smartphone makers and playing with VR/beats headphones and into oblivion.
Hope somebody writes a book about them.
