potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you ever revise your upvotes for a particular sub-thread/conversant when you get the sense they are either bad-faith or do not have sufficient knowledge to justify their participation or comments?5·9 days agoIdk, it feels a lot of conversation about difficult to grasp topics are followed by a lot of Dunning-Kruger comments, even here on lemmy. Sometimes it’s about related topics that a person know, so their comments seems reasonable, but after a search or a harder look, I stop upvoting or I can even downvote their comment, but sometimes I just ignore if I don’t even remember the original conversation.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto World News@lemmy.world•In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappearedEnglish7·9 days agoI agree, in an investigation with evidence, with authorization from the police force money laundering/financial crimes department and a judge saying that the bank should give the data, it would give more concrete evidence for a case.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto World News@lemmy.world•In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappearedEnglish3·9 days agoGive money transaction/banking data to anyone like you said and this will become a huge crime problem. Money is a huge risk for any information to be given, I bet it’s like this all around the world. “But the cops”, the cops of today can steal based on that information or commit other financial crimes.
You can’t trust almost anyone with any financial data, not because of privacy, but because it can cause a very large problem, not human rights problem, but destabilizing country economy problem. Have you ever seen people getting jailed at your job? I have seen in mine.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto World News@lemmy.world•In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappearedEnglish91·9 days agoIn Brazil, people use pix (online governmental instant payment) to pay for drugs, so i guess in China people use wechat and alipay too. It is not like the government watches every transaction made.
Edit: Also, the volume is HUGE, in Brazil we have at least 2k payments per second made with pix, in China it should be even bigger, so if there isn’t an investigation, i think the government won’t look at specific payments, like a guy paying for prostitution.

What's on your to-do list?13·11 days agoThat would require some knowledge that they couldn’t get (people can’t think things that they don’t know the basics of, like a different colour). Rolling rocks and fire would be on that age.

And to go to “there”, it seems nice “there”, why shouldn’t we go “there”? It doesn’t have other people “there”.

I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·22 days agoIf it was that simple… I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don’t have one, I can’t even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.
