I must have been asleep the day IBM bought Red Hat six years ago, because I had no idea.

The corporate algorithms are not on the side of the Palestinians.

1. Governments have controlled money for millennia, and governments’ central banks have for over a century. There’s nothing new going on there.
2. You’re conflating digital currency and cryptocurrency. All cryptocurrencies are digital, but not all digital currencies are crypto.

You say that as if the majority of currency transactions worldwide weren’t already digital.

⌘C and ⌘V work in the native MacOS terminal app as well.

How can you have been on Lemmy longer than me yet have such a fundamental misunderstanding of centralized/non-federated vs decentralized/federated?

I doubt anyone has ever regretted spending some time familiarizing themselves with the POSIX, util-linux, and GNU coreutils commands. You can do a lot by just piping these (mostly) simple tools together.

That’s because Macs generally use BSD-based command line tools instead of GNU ones. You have to do a lot of Homebrew jiggery-pokery to approximate a GNU environment. Know Your Tools: Linux (GNU) vs. Mac (BSD) Command Line Utilities

The pipe (|), which if you think about it is the basis for function composition.

This is not a Linux topic. Please post something like this to a programming community next time.

“The imperial core is sanctioning Russia therefore you are a Russian troll.” Impeccable logic.

I think you’re making up a world in your head. Who are these “lots” of “good” Russians who are abroad and whose lives are in realistically danger of state assassination?
