It's reactionary politics? I'm not sure what else led to the rejection. It doesn't actively hurt them to accept crypto. They just capitulated to reactionaries in their rejection, what else would I call it?

I'm not even claiming that crypto in its current form can handle global transactional needs, but Wikipedia and Mozilla realised that it could just be an additional avenue for payments. It wasn't hurting anyone and allowed people like me to contribute. How would you like it if you couldn't pay for things because it upset other people's views of what the world should be like? Because that's what happened to me.

Wikipedia caved to white Western imperialists' demands which have no basis in reality and excluded large portions of the world, most of which are marginalised communities who don't have access to the same financial systems that Westerners do.

I'm just glad that SciHub isn't headed by a reactionary but an actual person who cares about our rights to free and fair access to all things. And SciHub proves the need for an alternate financial system that isn't dominated, or at least, directly controllable by vested interests of the Western financial system.

Your rant is not contrarian for Western imperialists who don't want another financial system competing with their current hegemony.

That's why crypto is hated by Westerners while most others have neutral to positive opinions of it generally.

And the transaction fees argument and time needed for confirmation doesn't even make sense? Wikipedia doesn't need to pay any fees to accept crypto and it's not like they're a business which needs the money a second after the transaction. Even if they did need it that quickly, there are plenty of choices in crypto that settle much faster than Bitcoin, which they used.

I definitely agree with your stance that we should exclude people from things because it's inconvenient. This is why I don't support accessibility measures in any domain.

I don't even understand what your point is? Wikipedia doesn't have to pay fees to accept crypto? They could keep other payment options too, no one said credit cards should not be allowed. They could just provide the address for the centralised exchange and sell it for cash with minimal problems.

What I'm finding out is that people have a bad case of Dunning-Kruger when it comes to crypto and it's usually privileged Westerners who don't care if other people are included or not. Just straight up racists.

I just used a VPN to the EU and refused. Yeah it sucks that governments don't care, but nothing I can do about it right now.

As for Play Services, most people will never run a degoogled phone. So, that's that.

I mean, a lot of people who watch this probably don't even know what Buffy is. I've never watched Buffy, it's a pretty old show.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice also has a VR edition that comes bundled with the game.

Why not KeePassXC?

Don't know about saving documents but Bitwarden should be good if you want convenient. If you're okay with a little bit of setup, KeePassXC + compatible mobile app, KeePassDX for me, of your choice synced through a cloud service like Nextcloud works great for me.
