"The reality is people don’t want to pick their favorite community, running an instance is expensive and complicated, and owning your data isn’t a product feature."
This is the problem that affects all federated/decentralized projects. Same thing with Urbit. No one wants to keep their computer running 24/7 to support a network. and no one wants to bare the financial burden of paying for a server to host a community.
Bag holders are going to try to spin this into a conspiracy theory to pump the value of BTC. Next they will be saying that Satoshi was Steve Jobs or some nonsense.
We're already screwed because the internet is dying. Everyone is just using phones now, all the forums are shutting down. IRC is dead. Matrix is dead. Discord lives because it's a gamer/trans rights echo chamber. but that's it. The late 90s and early 2000s was the golden era of the internet. we're living in the detritus now.
Without any fiat on-ramp crypto is worthless. its value is always measured by how much fiat it can be sold for. without that it has no value. what are you gonna do, go mail a stranger cash for coins? send him gold bars for coins? lol. this crap is OVER. please wake up! or dont, i don't really care..
Might as well cancel it. The games are non-existent. and the quality of the games they have been releasing look like xbox 360 graphics. Not to mention Microsoft buying up every studio they can get their hands on.
The problem isn't that GTK3x is hard to use, It's that its simply not capable of creating beautiful UI's like GTK2x could. It can't create any tool bars without making them thick and huge, even DE's like xfce that try to maintain that old gtk2x look and feel can't do it anymore because of this.
i hate systemd it's always getting hung up on shutdown. "a stop job is running for blah blah" yea no. when i'm ready to shut down, it needs to shut down. immediately.
i don't fear this stuff. at the end of the day if the digital world becomes detrimental to my health i can just call up my ISP and cancel my service. good luck rotting my brain when you have no internet connection to my house.
i hope robots do take all the jobs. jobs today are terrible. they don't pay enough and you have to take orders from a class of managers that fancy themselves as feudal lords and you their serfs. so yea. good riddance to the "jobs". everything is made up in this system anyway, everyone knows it. just do crypto ubi and let the robots do all the drudge work.
only my whole life. evangelicals that is. i don't know much about mormons. but the evangelicals around my era are very multicultural and allow anyone in their church regardless of who they are and they will hire anyone at the businesses they own.
They also function in a tribal manner where judeo christians do not, jewish and islamic communities help each other they don't have as many factions and in fighting as christians do. when a muslim or a jew opens a business they hire family and friends and people from their religious community, christians will hire anyone because that's what the christian religion is about, helping people regardless of who they are. it's very noble but in a capitalistic economic system it doesn't give christians any advantage.
It's happened it a few places in the third world but not on the scale it will be if it happens in the US. People aren't as docile today as they were back in the 30's when the great depression hit. they aren't just going to say "aw shucks" and retire to their shanties and eat hoover stew. people today are pissed off and armed to the teeth.
EV's are still new tech. they haven't been through the cruicble of time yet. people are waiting to see how long those batteries last. it's common knowledge everytime you recharge a battery you destroy it bit by bit until it finally no longer holds a charge.
If we have a collapse there could be a civil war of sorts so wouldn't be long before the power grid goes offline, then BTC will be useless almost instantly. Bullets and canned food will have far more value.
Me too. i'm getting like 3 scam calls per day now. some are from unsuspecting work from home people that have been duped in being the fall guys for the scammers, i can tell because when i tell them what they are doing is against the law and they could be fined thousands of dollars for it, they immediately crap their pants and start apologizing.
You can beat millinials and zoomers into the ground with low wages and no one bats an eye, but if you mess with the boomers the retirement the entire country is shut down.
