Thank you for the clarification! I’ve clearly misunderstood the function of the crypto and/or read a poor description of Nostr 👌
In this case, the crypto (in itself still an unpalatable, energy wasting pyramid scheme, IMO) makes a lot more sense, and doesn’t detract from the platform (other than facilitating the platform’s tacit promotion of crypto).
I tried reading up on Nostr the other day, and came away finding it unpalatable, mainly because my understanding was that upvotes are tied to crypto.
The way I read it, you need some sort of crypto currency to pay for upvoting a post, from which I inferred that the only reasonable gauge for a posts popularity (upvotes) was intrinsically tied to money (and crypto-money, at that).
Is this a reasonable assessment, or did I misunderstand something?
EDIT: I was wrong, and stand corrected 👍
Maybe have a look at this comment elsewhere in the thread.
There’s so much waste everywhere, let alone in tech. Being able to both “recycle” old hardware, and find legitimate use for it, should be celebrated.
Now if only I knew what to do about my old phones … I’m pretty good at making them last, so my older ones are very old, and I can’t think of anything useful for them to do that whatever phone I currently have doesn’t do much better 🤔
Google EOL’d my beloved Asus C302 Chromebook, and now it runs Fedora with KDE. I’m super happy with it ❤️
Now tentatively working on turning my 2009 Mac Mini into a Fedora server/homelab.
So far it’s running Fedora desktop/KDE, and I’m slowly trying to figure out how to get Docker to work so I can run stuff like Audiobookshelf. If I manage to get it working, I’ll try going full Fedora Server instead of the desktop version.
Along with Fuckingfascists and Genocidejoe, Fuckingcapitalists seems to be quite the catchphrase for you.
While fascism is (nauseatingly) on the rise seemingly everywhere, and capitalism is fucking most of us over, I’m not quite sure if the genocide thing refers to the US support of Israel, or something else.
Either way, is this single-word rampage really accomplishing anything? Those three words are almost exclusively (or at least to a high degree) what you post in any given comment.
At the very least, could you not save a pre-formatted linked snippet for each word that you could link to an article or blog post giving your position some context, maybe inform some people who don’t have all the facts?
Yes, fascism and fascists suck. Yes, rabid capitalism and capitalists suck. Yes, genocide sucks, and Biden, while light-years better than the orange fucktard, and every single republican enabler asshat, also sucks.
I’m just not sure that you’re living up to your full potential with these low-effort comments.
Thank you! It’s going to be hard to change my mind on that one, but I’ll give it a go 😊👍
