  • I have to use Chrome for work and this whole thing is such a non issue, I switched to uBO Lite and have noticed zero difference.

    There are plenty of reasons not to use Chrome but having to use uBOL instead of uBO isn't one of them

  • Trump Congratulates Leader of English-Speaking Country for His Good English
  • I despise Trump more than most but this article is silly. Only about half of Liberians speak English, and less than 2% speak it as their first language. It's the official language because there are 31 different languages spoken in the country and they need something to be lingua franca so why not make it English for added international appeal. India is similar

  • If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?
  • Ok yeah DB has been woefully underfunded for decades thanks to auto industry lobbying and so now half the trains are late or cancelled, but the fact that you even can get from any city to any other city by train and then get to anywhere within each city by bus/tram is mind blowing to some of us that didn't grow up in Europe. There are lots of places where you basically can't live without a car, it's insane.

    Yeah i suppose any form of payment that you have to keep secret for some reason is a reason to use crypto, though I struggle to imagine needing that if you're not doing something dodgy

    avoiding scams for p2p transactions

    Wat. Crypto is not good at solving that, it's in fact much much worse than traditional payment methods. There's a reason scammers always want to be paid in crypto

    boycotting the banking system

    What specifically are you boycotting? The money that backs your crypto (i.e. that you bought it with) still sits in a bank account somewhere and continues to support the banks. All you're boycotting then are payments, but those are usually free for consumers (many banks lose money on them) so you're not exactly "sticking it to the man" by not using them. Evem if you were somehow hurting banks by using crypto, if you think the people that benefit from you using crypto (crypto exchange owners and billionaires that own crypto etc.) are less evil than goverment regulated banks, you're deluded.

    What about avoiding international payment fees?

    You'll spend more money using crypto for that, not less
