What is something that should have died out a long time ago?

Point to an implementation where this has done anything useful.
I worked in a company where this was used for implementing tamper evident logs, that allowed auditors to check for tampering.
Blockchain is just a tool that can have legitimate uses other than scamming people.

I said nothing about the OS on the phone, why would you assume that I like Android?
I am an iPhone user, but that is beside the point, if Swish and BankID could run on an open mobile plattform, I'd be happy with that.
My point it to separate the main computer from the payment system while still being convenient.
I am a bit confused as how you missed that...

that's not what I assumed. I assume that this app would only support the 2 most popular mobile platforms, and that on android, as is tradition with payment related apps, it would refuse to work when it detects that your phone's software has been changed in any significant way.
if Swish and BankID could run on an open mobile plattform, I'd be happy with that.
current trend is to make these apps OWASP compliant, which dictates that all apps should at least be an undecipherable, obfuscated black box, and better even make use of the OS's integrity checking system, like play integrity on android.

I did not miss that. I was commenting on this, why it would be harmful in today's world.

Tips. How ridiculous is it that restaurant owners guilt us into paying their employees salaries because they are too cheap to pay them a living wage? How unjust is it that we chose to tip the people who bring our food from the kitchen to our table and leave the hundreds of other service workers without tips?

Firstly, it's obvious "believing" means "zero evidence". If a belief had any solid evidences, it wouldn't be a belief, it would be a peer-reviewed scientific paper instead.
That said, you're conflating "belief" with "religious hierarchy" when, in reality, belief isn't necessarily dependent on hierarchy. I believe in Lilith and Lucifer, and I have no one "above me" except for Her and Him. In fact, the belief I follow on my own isn't even compatible with any kind of hierarchy, because these entities represent independence and rebelliousness, so it'd be quite paradoxical for me to have a leader/master/priestess/whatever.
Finally, I challenge you to point out any kind of "humanity's ill" inflicted by Luciferianism and other left-hand path beliefs, even those who actually have hierarchies (e.g. Quimbanda).
So, I sincerely remind you, don't generalize and attack every single religion and belief system on Earth because of a half dozen big ones who actually are to blame for many historical wars ("Holy wars") and their interference on scientific progress. Don't demonize the demons and demonesses, we're friends of scientific inquiry. Beware not to do friendly fire.rofl you refute my statement, backed by centuries of human history... with, "but my religion doesn't have a lord!"
Good job proving my point that it doesn't matter which religion, but belief in bullshit os damaging... because your nonsense is ... nonsense.

If you squint real hard, Genesis is a tale of stellar and planetary formation. Then comes evolution. Give the first bits a read! Yeah, evolution is mixed up a little, still surprisingly on point for a bunch of Bronze Age sheep herders.
Then there's a second tale, in the same short book. What a clusterfuck. But I can still see some real history in it. If I squint real hard.
Yeah seeing as the writers of the Pentateuch didn't even know what the stars were, I'm pretty sure that's all a coincidence lol.

@[email protected] Where in centuries of human history were there any wrongdoings stemming from Luciferianism and other leaderless occult belief systems? Where in centuries of human history did Luciferianism and other occult belief systems interfered or tried to hinger with scientific progress?

Every single fucking isp (at least in the states): nah

Go on then try to explain how pagan religions that boil down to "don't fuck with nature, it'll kill you" are damaging?

All religion is baseless bullshit, so yes, it is problematic in itself.
It is divisive by nature/design.
And it is made worse by people abusing it for power over others or discrimination.I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say it’s all baseless. It could just as easily be the passing down of allegorical tales — stories seeded by some guiding or controlling force countless generations ago in our collective development. There are even arguments for things like a collective consciousness or sub-atomic networks, suggesting that our linear experience of time might just be a way of processing information.
Honestly, who really knows? But speaking as someone who has oscillated between Christianity, Buddhism, and atheism in my youth, I’ve come to see atheism as just as much of a limiting dogma as any other belief system.

After posting my comment, I figured the baseless part might get some critique, but I decided to leave it. I meant it as 'not based in realty or not based on facts', if that helps clarifying.
Also, if you heap in atheism with Christianity and Buddhism, you don't understand what atheism is.
Christianity and Buddhism are actual systems of belief, while atheism is simply a lack of belief in any god or deity.
Anyone who does not believe in some god/deity/greater power, is an atheist. Whether they like it or not, that's what it is. A simple definition about a persons lack of belief. It does not come with any other rules or dogma. No rituals or leadership at all, so it can't be a system. -
Easy to say, but I'd argue it's baked in.
“Fifty thousand years ago there were these three guys spread out across the plain and they each heard something rustling in the grass. The first one thought it was a tiger, and he ran like hell, and it was a tiger but the guy got away. The second one thought the rustling was a tiger and he ran like hell, but it was only the wind and his friends all laughed at him for being such a chickenshit. But the third guy thought it was only the wind, so he shrugged it off and the tiger had him for dinner. And the same thing happened a million times across ten thousand generations - and after a while everyone was seeing tigers in the grass even when there were`t any tigers, because even chickenshits have more kids than corpses do. And from those humble beginnings we learn to see faces in the clouds and portents in the stars, to see agency in randomness, because natural selection favours the paranoid. Even here in the 21st century we can make people more honest just by scribbling a pair of eyes on the wall with a Sharpie. Even now we are wired to believe that unseen things are watching us.”
― Peter Watts, Echopraxia
Well said.

On that note, Ben Shapiro as well.
Andrew Tate, though that may be dangerous as he'll probably turn into a martyr.

Something attached to the main computer, but with its own firmware/controls is still far better than having no device at all, and relying on external code for verification. Would a discrete box separate from everything else be better (independent of mobile phones as well)? Sure. But a great step that would be progress compared to the current status quo is what the other poster describes, with logic and chip verification running on a device attached to the device or computer with which you wish to pay.

You know, I actually don't think it'll be a good idea to kill people who are only powerful because they can talk. The more I think about it, the more I think they'll be turned into martyrs by their followers. It'll only embolden them.
So, something that really upsets the world in a tangible way would be...
Shooting more CEOs. And bankers.

I think your real answer is depression, since that's the cause of why you feel the way you feel. We haven't cured depression, but there are ways to combat it. Medical health professionals, medication, friends, mindfulness, exercise, etc are all ways to combat depression. When you're depressed, basically all seem impossible, but you just have to take it one baby step at a time

Racism will never die as we evolved to be tribal. Best we can do as a society is make it unacceptable. Which was happening when I grew up in 70s/80s America. Now we've backtracked and gone all-in with dog whistles.
That's not true. Sure, we have tribalism, but there's no reason it has to be about race. It could be about religion, politics, country of origin, and countless other things
