For me: Cancelling paid subscriptions should be as easy as subscribing. I hate the fact that they actively hide the unsubscribe option or that you sometimes should have to write an e-mail if you want to unsubscribe.

oh and crypto mining, like ur actually printing money, how tf is that legal
It’s because crypto isn’t actually money. It’s just something somebody might give you money for.
In theory, you can walk to your nearest forest and collect pine cones and then sell them to people.
That’s about the same as crypto, only pine cones are actually useful.
Hey now. In harsh3466 land only I have the authority to mint pinecones!
Fiat currency like the US dollar is just as intrinsically worthless. It has value only because people accept that it does, they trade with it, and it has legal status as tender “for all debts, public and private”.
People trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for goods all the time, without converting it to USD or anything first. I mean, yeah, usually the thing they’re buying is drugs or something but it’s the same as handing your local dealer a $20 bill.
I mean, artisanal gold mining is still a huge thing in certain less-than-awesome areas. The basic way gold works is what inspired it in the first place.
Why would you torrent Wikipedia?
torrenting is faster than usual downloading, its actually an incredible technology. i dont know the exact percentage of how much faster, but it makes sense that it would be because it puts less load on the server with the file because everyone downloading it is also sending it to each other
Torrenting can be faster than normal downloads. A file server with a fast connection that’s not overloaded can easily be faster than a P2P download that doesn’t have very many peers, or the peers all have slow connections. There’s no fixed percentage speed boost that you get, because sometimes you don’t.
That said, for things like Linux ISOs or archives of stuff that people just keep seeding forever but aren’t hosted on fast file servers (if at all), it’s great and typically the bottleneck is your own connection.
