Peanut butter may last 6–24 months unopened, or 2–3 months once opened. Natural peanut butters lack preservatives and may last several months unopened, or up to a month once opened.

Even if you have unlimited temperature controlled bugproof storage space this is a terrible idea

Sure, if you think to do so before your computer doesn't work

Lots of Windows machines come with the OS preinstalled but no install media, you will need another computer in that case.

Anyone not needing medical attention because of improvised sex toy mishaps is a win imo, restricting access here is just straight harmful

Most cryptocurrencies have less privacy then tradfi

Sort of, but that doesn't really contradict what I said, because cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency tools that enable more privacy exist and work and are used. Even ones that don't offer the potential for pseudonymity and are functional for bypassing the arbitrary censorship/control of Visa etc, for example see recent events with CivitAI.

It will always have people trying to destroy privacy and also people trying to enhance privacy.

But this means the people trying to destroy it will win sometimes. That means it is important that systems for preserving privacy should be resilient against small victories by this faction. By design GNU Taler seems to lack the resilience against interference that is a core feature of decentralized systems which could be used in its place.

Privacy is a good thing.

Yes

And don’t forget the State works for us.

Hasn't Europe been seriously considering bans on end to end encryption? Aren't there serious pushes to force VPN companies to keep logs? And for all this project seems to be trying to emphasize its distinction from other styles of cryptocurrency, the goal and means is largely similar, and I don't think you can ignore all the precedent for how crypto exchanges, mixers and pseudo-mixers have been treated regardless of their efforts to be compliant with the law, especially as relates to privacy features. So how can you possibly trust a state to perpetually remain on the right side of this? The design of this project means there is little possible resistance to any level of attack coming from that direction, even something as simple as banks dropping the exchange as a customer would kill it, and I think it is a fatal flaw, especially when other cryptocurrencies already achieve greater levels of privacy and payment censorship resistance without asking or needing permission, despite being under constant attack from states.

It's a neat idea but I think the concept of user payments privacy and also being based on custodial centralized exchanges collecting KYC and trying for total compliance is too contradictory to work out. This totally depends on state acceptance and not pushing the removal of privacy features.

Maybe but iirc the joke started on 4chan, with the idea that everyone there was so used to traditional horrific shock images/videos that they don't bother them, but such a person might be uniquely vulnerable to being annoyed by a cheesy love song presented in the same way.

Maybe not as huge as it should be but

In 2021, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ordered the Met Police and NPCC to pay a total of £229,471 to Ms Wilson “by way of just satisfaction for the breaches of her human rights”

Fair point, tbh the reason I did it this way is it autocompletes the title and I wasn't sure what to put

I love the punchline on this one
