That’s analogous to saying you won’t call any numbers on certain carrier

It’s possible, but your overall service is devalued if you can’t connect to a large group of people.

I get what you’re saying. But it undermines their efforts in other forums to try to fight climate change, if elites there are cashing in on carbon-heavy crypto, while everyday folks suffer from collapse of fisheries, saltwater intrusion into groundwater, etc

The existence of everyday Palauans is threatened by climate change (sea level rise, coral reef death, heightened typhoon intensity), which is being accelerated by the energy use of proof-of-work coins. Sad to see the Palauan government sell out their own people

Here to cheerfully crush your hopes and say he does!

Yep, I did it earlier today. Took about half an hour to set up, download and convert 75 books and comics

Yes! Welcome to the fediverse

I do the same, but I’ve run into a bottleneck where Joplin syncs encrypted notes really, really slowly to local storage. So looking to switch to hosted Joplin server

I find the average atheist seems to be more familiar with the messages of the Bible than many of these people who claim to spend their Sundays studying it.

Delete your cookies or find one of the myriad other ways to read it such as the link above. Or don’t. Your loss

I think it does matter. It is a useful benchmark of the power of their reality distortion field

AP trying to cover themselves. Their lawyers probably advised them to do it. But it makes for a surreal headline. Next we’re going to be wondering why he grew a small mustache!
