moneroshamelist is actually a smart idea
funny on the surface, but the point hits
a lot of brands talk privacy, freedom, anti-censorship
but for payments it’s still cards, btc, usdt
so the site asks a fair question
if you believe in privacy, why not accept xmr?
that’s what makes it interesting
it kind of calls out the gap between what some brands say and what they actually do
curious who people here think belongs on that list?

Keep it simple with PegasusSwap.com
damn... that one sucks Y_Y
and idk why novacustom is in "alternatives", couldnt find any ryzen anything on there...
literally all 100% intel everywhere all the time

only intel...
tbf, been the same with "Windows" too, linus explains the SEO strategies microsoft been doing (applicable to intel too):

@PegasusSwap I just found out about the website and i like the idea behind it. Personally i like to call it "XmrRedflagRadar" lol
so i didnt check the math or what, was bigpickle that did the math:
Estimated 2026 annual electricity use:
- Global fiat banking system: ~280 TWh
- Monero network: ~0.1 TWh (negligible by comparison)
- AI market (training/inference/data centers): ~400 TWh
Irony: Framework rejects Monero over energy concerns, but Monero uses 1/2800th of fiat's energy and 1/4000th of AI's (which their AI-focused desktops support). Their hardware contributes to the far larger AI energy draw.
but pretty sure that even if the llm fucked up on the math then is still legit cause like, all those ATMs literally everywhere, all those bank datacenters for user data and bank accounts or whatever
like, nirav patel kinda delulu in the head if he thinking his fiat money dont use electricity lmao
monero can run node, which the computers he selling can run monero nodes, that can be on solar...
that's such a bullshit argument the "it uses electricity"
like, yeah, using a computer uses electricity, fucking duh lmao
and AI be like kinda what's pissing everyone off right now on that electricity thing
ironic af when he selling computers literally for AI
