    Your first example is tax fraud if you hide it

    Edit: it looks like you edited your post to state the guy repairing your bike is “your friend”.

    Noone is going to go after him if he just fixes your bike. But if he fixes the bike of his 1000 friends each month, they will go after him if he didn’t declare it.


  • The article doesn’t even discuss how financial survillance is related to democracy.

    I just looked for the paragraphs where “democracy” is discussed and it’s nowhere stated how it is threatened by financial survaillance.

    Whatever the author states in the article, it’s not about a threat to democracy. I go even further and state that monitoring all financial transactions is good for a democracy. Today, almost all transactions are monitored anyway.




  • I keep recurring donations to big projects like KDE and one time once in a while to smaller projects/devs. There’s no incentive for me to donate a dollar to someone who wrote an app to control the flash but a one time donation is good. One time donation is also good for projects you just check out and think it’s good. Projects I heavily use also get a regular donation. And I didn’t sit down and looked up every project but I star everything on github at first and then after a while I donate. A star is the minimum I do for good projects
