[…] a net negative in my experience […]

is not clear?

Sorry, but it only takes few things to sour something for people.

So far I've only seen #JavaScript being used to make sites more #inaccessible, more #bloated, less #privacy-friendly and more obnoxious!

Obviously #JS, alongside #Cookies and #Tracking, are mere tools of #Enshittification but that certainly is as much warranted as the shitstain #Blockchain and #NFTs got due to #CryptoBros using #Shitcoins to #PumpAndDump-#scam #TechIlliterates and #FinanceIlliterates that are "#HornyForMoney!"

OFC that hurts honest people just like #Shitcoin-Scams hurt #Monero despite being technically incapable to being weaponized for #NFT-Bullshit like #NFTmalware.

Either we say "#Tech is #apolitical!" and accept diverging opinions and experiences to exist as equal

We say "#TechIsPolitical!" and ask "Who benefits?" from the rapid onset #Enshittification and purposefully engineered, #PlannedObsolescence due to #Bloatware, regardless if JS or #Windows11 or purposefully bricking support for legacy versions of #iOS.

Less a 'pop up city', more a convention of Incels.

So, first things first, what is Zuzalu and what are Pop-up Cities?
Zuzalu was the first and arguably most impactful Pop-up City of its kind in history. Starting in March 2023, and
lasting for roughly 2 months, domain experts from all around the world gathered in Montenegro to cross-
pollinate ideas and industries. Vitalik Buterin, the founder of both Ethereum and Zuzalu, had a big part in
organizing the pop-up city and inviting people who were stalwarts in fields that he had a special interest in.
Cryptographers, Al engineers, longevity scientists, and many more, made Montenegro their home for this period,
allowing for the blossoming of an ecosystem and the definition of what a Zuzalu Pop-up City should be - a
month(s) long gathering, in a physical space, that brings like-minded people together to focus on a coordinated
target. For Zuzalu, the target, at least in part, was the early formation of a Network State movement.

@cryptadamist @ZDL @micr0 already #Monero is the "#BlackMarketCurrency" because it solves all the problems the #BlackMarket has when it comes to #payment and #money:

It's fully anonymous to the point that there has been no way to trace funds nor correlate account balances.
It's faster than #Hawala (and cheaper!)
It's unsanctionable because it's not touching any #TradFinance systems like #SWIFT.
It cannot be forged (unlike #cash!).
It has all the 'selective transparency' features needed for #accounting, #bookkeeping, #TaxCompliance and so forth.
It actually works!
Despite attempts of systematic erasure and delisting, it's value is rising.
Unlike all the #Shitcoins, it's not a #Scam but actually #fungible.
Unlike a #Shitcoin it's not held by a few rich early birds but has actual circulation.
It's Tail Emission enshures longterm stability of it as a #currency without absurd #hyperdeflation due to artificial scarcity...

Also the #Winklevoss #CryptoBros are "old money finance assholes"...

@vegetablegremlin I guess that's because #scammers are rampant on #Weibo and #BilliBilli to the point that they make the #US-style #CryptoBros with their "#NotFinancialAdvice!" permabanners on #YouTube, #Twitch, #TikTok & #SnapChat look serious in comparison.

#sarcasm #commentary

@blindcoder
Auch vernünftig.

Dann sollten die sich allerdings auch direkt damit befassen.

Denn, weit gefehlt. Hier muss man ein paar Gänge höher schalten.

Das ist kein Spielchen zum Kennenlernen.

Es zeigt [sollte zeigen], wie #BigTechs, #cryptobros, #hansfranz und #gier jetzt und demnächst also einsteigen, #Finanz #Depots durch #ki oder #ai zu optimieren.

Du kannst also deinen #Bank Berater und alle daran noch anhängenden Institutionen nach Hause schicken.

Earlier this year, he pardoned the founders of #crypto exchange BitMEX in connection with similar anti-money laundering violations and the founder of electric truck company Nikola convicted of fraud. He has also commuted the sentence of the executive of now-defunct start-up Ozy Media.

Trump's #pardon of #Zhao paves the way for the #crypto mogul to return to the business he helped found in 2017. He has already served his time in prison after a judge sentenced him to four months.

Zhao's #pardon is the latest in a series #Trump has doled out to executives convicted of white collar crimes.

#law #CryptoBros #technocracy #Trump #felon47

#Zhao, one of the most powerful people in the #crypto world, had to step down as chief of #Binance when the company agreed to a $4.3 billion settlement with the U.S. government to end a years-long probe into misconduct at the world's largest crypto exchange.

#law #CryptoBros #technocracy #Trump #felon47

#Trump #pardons convicted #Binance founder #Zhao

In a statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump had "exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency."

@0x0 @dzwiedziu @0x4d6165 some folks seem to not get it…

#Trump is at best a #UsefulIdiot for #Putin and his only loyal to his own wallet, bank accounts and,(offshore?) holdings!

If it would enshure his and his son's perpetual rule, he'd hand over the U.S. nuclear arsenal to #Putin and publicly shoot his wife on live television.

Given #AmericanGestapo (#ICE) actions we csn be pretty shure that #CloudAct will be weaponized if it hasn't already.

Plus @signalapp is not sustainable and peddles #Shitcoin-#Scams like #MobileCoin that even seasoned "#CryptoBros" like @techlore couldn't get to work.

Seriously, there's no legitimate reason for this shitcoin aka. #Signal #enshittifying hard!

@el3ctron desde la comunidad de #Grafoscopio lo venimos explorando hace unos años, luego de venir de #Scuttlebutt, dado que tiene un desarrollo con mayor dinamismo y resuelve problemas en éste último. Sin embargo, esta demasiado lleno de #CryptoBros para mi gusto y la experiencia de uso es confusa. Particularmente, si uno busca otros temas/comunidades.

Überraschung: #StableCoins sind gar nicht...stable! Das war ja immer der letzte Verteidigungsversuch für die Nützlichkeit von Crypto-Währungen der #CryptoBros 🤣

Scammers gonna scam… This arrived in my mailbox earlier this week. I have not turned it on yet. Figure I’d spend the weekend poking at it to see what it really is (in isolated environment), but the text around the display kind of indicates Crypto Bros being desperate for new marks. Ugh. I miss the days when they were only sliding into my electronic inbox, not the physical one…

We gift you this valuable device, at no cost, free to keep. You don't have to buy anything or donate. We hope you'll like us and learn about free & open source technology, like Ethereum, which was $0.31 in 2014 and nearly $5,000 in 2025. Newer projects improve on it with higher speeds, lower fees, scarcer supply through burns, or easier ways to launch coins. You're one of the first people in the world to receive this device, with many more shipping soon. It's smart to learn about new tech early, before massive adoption. We gratefully accept PLS, PLSX, HEX, and ETH donations. Important: Education only. Not investment, legal or tax advice. Digital asset prices are volatile and past performance does not predict future results. Understanding technology doesn't require investment. Item was donated. Gift notice: you may retain, use, discard, or dispose of it with no obligation to the sender. Mentions don't imply endorsement or affiliation. Donations may be tax-deductible where allowed.

@eloquence Well, #CryptoBros, #TechBros and #FinanceBros propably want to make such a #Shitcoin and implement a "pay per use" strategy on "#AI accelerators" (similar to how #Intel puts certain features.on newer #Xeon CPUs behind a #subscription) so people may have to buy some "#AiCoin" to do "#AI" and pay the hardware they already own with #Shitcoins.

Basically #Ransomware in #Firmware, but instead of #Monero it'll likely ask for some #Ethereum- or #Solana-based Shitcoin!

I can already see #DanOlson go "Yes, yes,!" on this one...

"surprised there hasn't been more talk on here about the implications of the false promises of AT Proto's #decentralization"

there's feverish true believers who think #bitcoin is the future of money

never going to happen: massive energy use

that doesn't stop the true believer

it's a cult

same with "#bluesky is #decentralized"

and my example of bitcoin is purposeful:

bluesky is run by #cryptoBros, and funded by #crypto bros

they imported the crypto con job to #socialMedia

@erikcats

#bluesky apparently *can* be #decentralized

someday

always someday, never today

miss me with that cult noise of endless hype promise and "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" reality

bluesky is #centralized #corporate bullshit

and someday the #cryptoBros who run it and the #crypto bros who fund it will turn it into another #twitter

in fact, it might be happening right now

fuck bluesky

@mrcompletely @irelephant

i will call them cultists

because it is the same as dealing with #cryptoBros and their feverish devotion to promise over reality

in fact, since #bluesky is run by and funded by #crypto bros, that happenstance is not a mistake

it is the same sales speak con job in action, by the same people, for the same effect:

fuck reality, focus on the lie, and don't waver from your faith in the empty promise

a cult

@kkarhan

and it's a ticking time bomb

any day now the #cryptobros who fund #bluesky will want something for their investment, and if they don't get what they want, they put an elon #musk style #techbro turd at the top to milk it for a financial return and bluesky goes the way of #twitter

you can't trust corporate #socialMedia

its failure is built in from the root
