Really amazing browsing the small web today and getting blocked by half the websites I visit either because I'm in the UK or because they think I'm a bot

<veltas>
I'm in the UK myself and I have half a mind to block myself too

Unfortunately I actually want people to visit my site and not just make a statement and will deal with the possibility I can get sued which actually exists regardless of what I put on my site

Loving the new notepad.exe with its fancy web browser based GUI, all the text randomly disappears when I switch windows

Delighted to be able to say that I haven't used notepad for... well, probably a decade or two. I recently dealt with a Windows computer briefly, because I wanted to move some bitcoin I'd mined years ago to an institutional wallet and needed a machine that could run my wallet software, but I ditched it as soon as that task was accomplished. I will simply never go back - ever ever.I despise

Microsoft and everything associated with them.

I'm of the firm opinion that upon being found guilty for some of the practices they've engaged in over the years they should have just been dissolved rather than being given a fine that didn't even offset the profit they'd made through their vile business practices.

Anyone who expect tiny fines like that to change a company's behavior is an idiot. They just mark it down as "cost of doing business" and carry on. Instead, companies should be shut down and CEOs should go to jail. Real jail - not a country club prison.

If they would just do that a couple of times then companies might actually behave better.

If you want punishment to be a deterrent, it needs to be punishment that the decision makers actually FEAR.

Someone gifted me like 0.0001BTC back when it was worth $1, pretty sure I lost the wallet

Won't be buying any landfills to try and recover it

Well, it's enough that I guess I won't share it. It's a substantial part of my overall retirement, which is why I was neverous holding it in a private wallet that I might potentially lose access to.
18:34:07

<KipIngram>
For years I had no ability to access it, but I had a piece of paper with secret numbers on it that I could restore a software wallet from, and a few months ago I started working on that. I'd used the Bitcoin Armory wallet software. Couldn't figure out how to install it on a Linux system, so I had to get a Windows system for it instead.

Soon as I was done I purged all the bitcoin stuff from it and gave it to my daughter, who needed a new computer.
18:34:55

Moved it all to a crypto account at Fidelity investments.

Which is also where my IBM retirement funds are.
