  • Bitcoin is pretty fast. You get 5 confirmations in about an hour. If you compare it to credit cards, the equivalent thing (clearing and settlement) happens in about 2-7 days.

    Thing that matters to the merchant is a bit different than the thing that happens with the customer. You can build similar layers in front of the customer for crypto payments that make it look like the payment went through in a second.

    People who say that woke is always bad are wrong. People who say that woke is always great are wrong. The concept is being used for cynically manipulating people to be at each others’ throats all the time because that’s how fucked up shit companies make amazing amounts of money these days apparently.

    Dunno how lemmy plays into all this, probably by cargo culting what those shit companies were doing.

    They are fully capable of extracting profile data from you even if you’re in incognito/private mode. And it doesn’t matter what browser you are using. My colleague was demonstrating techniques to do that with methods he personally figured out in one day in a hackathon in 2015.

    Google has been actively researching and developing such techniques about as long as they have existed. I find it improbable that they would actually delete this data.
