Isn’t that the guy who invented Lemmy? Reminds me of TG’s founder doing the same.

Use exact change?

If we’re going cash only, I’m bringing those coins too.

Sand dollars?

They have paper and pens that they can track their transactions until the system is fixed.

First generation VPN users effectively ruined it for current-gen users who use VPNs for everything now.

Back in my day, extra credit had to be earned.

Ask how many civilians Obama killed without congressional approval under the War Powers Act.

Google the IRS targeting conservatives under Lois Lerner and sanctioned by the Administration.

Bitcoin isn’t private. Monero should be what you use for anonymous/private payments.

“…locally on device without connecting to the internet”

How would it then report such behavior to Google, without internet?

This will 100% report things in the background to Google.
