You should go to a few countries and see how the world operates. Stores can include all taxes in the quoted price upfront before the sale, as many countries embed the taxes in the price shown publicly, and then the store takes privacy coin payment like monero, and if the store does not record a few sales to skip on taxes since there’s no payment account tied to company name, even better

Stores should accept monero to eliminate paying taxes

Due to the fact that Taler is designed for government to see all income means it’s not an option. Is there any privately owned company anywhere in the world that uses Taler?

Given government’s attitude that all money everywhere belong’s to the government, they only decide on how much to let the worthless servants get to use, I’m good with tax evasion. When I carry cash at stores, it’s fine if they don’t report the income. Government is very good at taking money by force, but not as interested to pay for anything. It is in store’s best interest to accept privacy coins like Monero or Zcash before using something like Taler

If that were true, speaking with strangers in public places would not contradict fediverse postings. It seems that being outside talking with strangers face to face closers aligns, but not identical, to what’s on Twitter than every single fediverse service. If you can’t be friends with someone who doesn’t accept what you believe but has other interests away from the internet, not being online, that is lack of intellectual curiosity. Someone, I’m not suggesting you, who can’t spend an afternoon with people without checking phone for new messages lives in misery 10 out of 10 times.

Find one single instance where users are free to reject or critcize religion, reject trans people, criticize conservatives, and criticize leftists, all on a single instance.

I’m all for individual users block who they want. In fact I emcourage it so users onlyvsee what they want. But when server admins defederate and divide the service into sections, users have no say anymore and will have to user mutiple accounts simultaneously across different servers to check posts. The line about telling people to start their own server is a cop out to avoid tue fractoring and censorship, but then to try to promote fediverse as an alternative to th bg names, that’s all a lie and a conjob when severs run by infants block users talking to adults who do not react emotionally to reading words on a screen. In stead, the fediverse seems to be only for people who have identical opinions on every subject and every contrary view gets dogpiled in an attempt to beat into submittiom.

I can say something about people who live a certain lifestyle and have my account deleted. Others can say the exact opposite as me and they get praise and posting gets promoted. It makes the fediverse look like a cult of freakshows who are terrrified to go out to public places and debate people in the street, but come on here to escape humans who don’t agree where everybody conforms to a specific view and everything else is deleted or banned. Given the way fediverse people complain about Twitter, a pattern emerges that their complaints is the fact the Twitter allows opinions that they can’t tolerate so they stay in fediverse where they are protected from reading words. Those people will never achieve much for jobs or careers where co-workers can express offensive or insulting views and the company can’t do anything because they can’t fire someone for an opinion, so they will have to wok with people who don’t support their views or reject their beliefs. How will people on here ever handle having children when their own kids can grow up to reject their views but have to maintain a close relationship despite their child’s disapproval of what they believe?

Government can take all source code and use it for their own secretive proprietary. If a court tells the government to release the source code, who can enforce the court order against the government since government can eliminate all lfunding and shutdown departments?

The fediverse imposes censorship through de-federation, as opposed to being decentralized that only requires protocol configuration with any software designed to communicate through said protocols. Fediverse requires approval before accepting messages from other servers

The fediverse condemns free speech. The fediverse bans unapproved opinions and wrong think, proving that the fediverse is an enemy to the principals of Edward Snowden. But it’s fun to be on here one in awhile knowing fhe right thing to say that forces people to come undone and expose their true personality. When you through a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that helps is the one you hit, so it makes for a fun time to say the right thing for setting off everybody and watxh in the insults come in, it means that I hit my mark

It only works on computer, there is no app?

I did not know about Haveno, I am going to check into them, thank you. Someone else also suggest Cake, I will give it a try

I have not heard of them, thank.you. Do you have any idea why it’s not included in F-Droid?

I hav not looked at Cake but that’s what I was asking for so thank you

You are doing mental gymnastics

That’s your choice to exclusively use Linux on your system, but telling others what they must give up to conform to what Linux can do is pushing cult mentality. You are only providing proof why people should always avoid Linux at all cost. To prove my point, you should try to get a job in IT maintaining network systems or service support for a company helping random customers and see how far you get.

Windows in a VM nainly only works in a server setup. Nit exclusively a server, but mainly only in servers. On desktop, Windows in a VM is either pointless, as in overkill, or problematic.

I use BSD, Linux, but all gaming is exclusively on Windows. Linux is not 109% compatible with all PC hardware, like soft EQ, DAC, or mixer setup for $500 of audio hardware not ncluding speakers, not all games in existance of the past 30 years have a Linux verson available or come ffom alaunxher or store, so all gaming is always exclusively on Windows.

People only push Linux for gaming out of ideology, not a solution. Using a translation layer or emulation means incompatibility, not a solution. Gaming on Linux because hate Windows, is not a solution. Mental paranoia over telemetry does not make Linux a solution.

Did my point go way over your head?

Why do people not use Win 11 LTSC so nothing is installed besides barebones Windows functionality? It does not come with Microsoft Store or Media Player
