  1. Governments should have ZERO privacy and everything they do should be public.

    But then of course there's the security branches of the governments that would be exempt from this requirement and everything just gets moved to the security branches and you solved absolutely nothing.

    "Video GIFs" are one of the worst thing anyone has ever created for the Web.

    If you think loading a video and not playing it wastes bandwidth, animated GIFs are ten times worst. 50MB+ GIFs should not even exist in the first place.

    Just like the Internet has pseudoanonymity, so does BTC. For now, no one knows you're a dog.

    And then you pay something in Dogecoins and your cover is blown.

    At first, I was using Windows 3.11.
    After that, I was using Windows 95. A few years later, Windows 98.
    And now I'm back to Windows 10? That's 88 less quality!

    I am not sure I want to spend the money on a new macbook, so I will probably get a cheap linux laptop when my chromebook dies.
