You can’t do as much damage with a GUI that tells you what you’re doing in regular language vs commands.

sudo rm -rf /* means nothing to a newbie

“Reset to factory settings” is pretty freaking clear

The difference is that the touch screen stuff was a more dumbed down experience, not an increase in difficulty and options.

Then you have the security issue that comes from teaching users they should just trust whatever random people tell them to do when facing an issue with their computer.

Why would he work against his goal of creating a digital currency then? Bitcoin is useless for that with transactions that can be left pending for hours because of the block size limit, which Back supported keeping as is.

It’s one of the theories, that it was done by a collective with one person writing on the forum

Good thing he declared that pardons can be reversed, I’m sure the Republicans won’t complain if Democrat sends the J6 people back to jail!

There’s tons of circumstantial evidence for a bunch of people, but Adam Back keeps talking about the value of Bitcoin (Satoshi would be one of the richest person on earth right now, he wouldn’t care about its value anymore) and was against the changes necessary to make Bitcoin useful as a digital currency (leading to the 2017 fork).

Why did Satoshi create Bitcoin? Because he felt there was a need for a digital currency, not because he wanted to get rich. It’s in the whitepaper.

All the claims of who it might potentially be have been debunked one way or another. Someone was sure it was a Canadian guy not too long ago and he started getting harassed…

The difference is that the army drills that into the soldiers mind, public servants might be told to do it in passing as part of their onboarding, it’s never made as clear as in the army.

So Trump gave that order?

What illegal orders has the army been given? None.

I’m talking about the army specifically, the most basic grunt has an obligation to refuse to obey illegal orders even if they come from the Joint chief of staff in person. The process is simple, confirm the order, day you believe it to be illegal, refuse to obey until proven wrong.

And again, with both armies being so intertwined, they would be asking to fight their friends, the odds that they would refuse these illegal orders would be even higher. Add the attacks on VA by the Republicans and the worst case scenario would be that the army would be divided and the pro-Trump camp would end up fighting the anti-Trump camp.

Good post on that subject

With how mixed together the US and Canadian armies are, the grunts would probably rather shoot the people giving the order instead of following them. You might have some MAGA soldiers, but that just means that instead of fighting “the enemy” the US Army will end up fighting itself.

Which would be an illegal order that wouldn’t be followed.

What’s crazy is that in Canada we couldn’t imagine federal elections being handled by the provinces and the centralization means voting conditions are pretty much the same over the whole country (except in very remote location where they send planes to let people vote), but in the US centralizing it with the current administration is just scary…

Is nudity part of an amendment? I think not!

I wonder how many will realize it’s not just a cassette tape to listen to music…

“Let’s form a union because we’re stronger if we negotiate together!”

“Let’s vote for the individualist party!”

Makes no sense.

The difference is that it’s a suicide that takes two years to reach its conclusion. Wanna send people to Mars? Alright, you can only send people who are willing to die either on the way there or on the ground there. They’ll be exposed to much higher levels of radiations than people on the space station and their bone mass will just deteriorate to the point that they can never come back on earth.
