A million is money but not “controlling the means of production and lobbying politics” kind of money.

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

Four handed counter hacking on the same keyboard was peak TV.

Debian.

Stable, well documented, easy to install. I do not need anything else right now.

There’s anothee way to keep having access to software no matter what companies do.

I have the generic steam crack well saved in my computer in case the decide to pull the plug.

I tend to buy stuff I’ve already pirated.

I have games bought with 0 hours played because I already played them with my pirate hat.

When you are a pirate you have a different mindset. You get to really choose who do you want to give your money to, and you tend to chose people who really deserve it.

I use thunderbird, though it really feels like it has terrible performance for me. Feels like a really heavy program for just an email client.

Still better than having ads on your client.

I genuinely tried to look for a legit way to make it an option for paying in a small online store without having to depend on paypal or a bank gateway.

Well transaction fees for any big coin are like many dollars per transaction. It’s ridiculous. For smaller transaction fees you have to go to smaller coins that can disappear or lose half their value one day to the next.

And still, if we forget thar people wouls need to pay like a 14€ fee for 1€ transaction. They still have to go to a exange to change their money, and then I have to change it back, because very little things can be bought with crypto, less with cryptos that doesn’t have ridiculous transaction fees.

Did I mention than transaction are not instantaneous either? Unless you pay big transaction fee or use some obscure coin that no one uses.

At the end, I ended up with paypal. I really wanted a way to be “independent” of big companies for transaction. But crypto is completely ruined (if it was ever functional that I doubt it). It’s not a coin, they are just speculation and bets. With cybercrime and drug dealing being the only “real” uses it has.
