An infinitely growing blockchain will inevitably fail by centralizing. Crypto-currencies as they exist today are doomed, but the protocols and tech created now may hopefully inform the design of something that is useful as a currency.

Also, high transaction fees make it useless for small (normal, everyday) amounts, so it can only be used as a store of value. It’s really more analogous to gold or a stock, with the one significant benefit that it’s harder to steal than gold and can’t be lost stolen institutionally.

Yeah up until then I though he was a cool guy; real life iron man and whatnot. That baseless accusation was just so incredibly out of character it made me question his character, and then his later actions made me realize it was always just a character.

He’s levying tithes.

I’ve been stuck deciding between getting the 2.8k screen and upgrading to the larger 16 laptop. I stopped using my desktop last year entirely and so now I’m trying to figure out whether I should go with the larger laptop since it’s the only thing I use now.

I’m always wondering is how I became an independent thinker. I have a hard time understanding how so many people are so gullible

You may not think this way, but I’ll comment just in case: Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you are too smart to fall for a lie. The smartest people in the world have blind spots, and only the blind think they have none.

Note that established, accepted scientific theories often fall into the “fact” category.

For example the Theory of Gravity.

IIRC it doesn’t do anything prevent tooth decay, it just doesn’t cause it, unlike sugar and many other sugar substitutes.

Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

.world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).

Do you mean abominations? lol.

A more powerful local transmission may be considered jamming. I’m not sure, so look up relevant law beforehand.

• gmail you can forward all mail to another account.
• Youtube, you could try following your subscriptions via RSS/ATOM feed reader. It’s honestly just like regular YT but without the recommendation engine.

Fair. I just learned about and like PeerTube so far (activitypub federated video hosting), but it’s has even more infantile adoption than Lemmy does. I don’t know that anyone I follow on youtube posts there, and if they do I don’t know how to find them.

I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn’t understand it.

Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

Always get the version of the gadget with replaceable batteries unless you want a brick in 3-10 years. Additionally, prefer 18650, AA, AAA batteries, and keep some rechargeable ones around.

My favorite was the password set screen allowing up to 64 characters, but login fails if the password is over 32 chars.

The choice paralysis is real. I chose lemm.ee because it was easy to type into the address bar, and I’ve stuck around because the admin seems pretty level-headed.

Idk if you can transfer likes comments and posts, but you can go to your old account from a new one and star everything with the new account pretty easily. So that at least can transfer.
