  • No, because one transaction uses as much energy as a normal household in a year. Or something like that.

  • Initial distribution was through a captcha-protected crypto ‘faucet’. The faucet is still up. Did the developers keep a large part of the coins themselves? I’ve never heard that.

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto
  • No, because I’m not a trader. It’s not all about the exchange rate for me, but about the utility of the coin.

    Most coins exist because other coins exist. Nano and Monero not necessarily.

  • I like it as a way to donate to creators without revealing my identity. It comes close to handing over cash.

    You could also use it to pay for a VPN, but since the VPN provider sees your original IP address anyways, I don’t think that’s useful.

  • I only like two cryptocurrencies.

    Nano: free transactions, each wallet runs it’s own blockchain, so it’s got no negative impact on the environment.

    Monero: allows for anonymous transfers

  • Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead"
  • Right. But if things do start to cost money, should that be stopped by laws?

  • Online Content Is Disappearing
  • I just want to say that you’re absolutely wonderful with words!

  • Believing we’re living in the end of times is nothing new. Up til now, it never turned out true.

  • I agree with your first two paragraphs.

    The third, well, it’s your choice to choose not to have children. That’s fine and I understand. But people shouldn’t feel obligated not to get children to save the climate.

    Not that you’re suggesting that, just clarifying.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban
  • No stats at all, I just got that impression. It’s silly, but it’s often argued that social media are private platforms, that can decide themselves what content they allow. Do you suggest laws against shadowbanning should be a thing? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban
  • It seems to me that’s it’s often the conspiracy-theorists that get shadowbanned.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban
  • But how is that a consequence of shadowbanning?

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban
  • Could you name an example of those consequences?

  • TIL that some people do not have an inner voice and think in different nonverbal ways.
  • I’m convinced that a great part of the people that claim to not have an inner voice are either:

    1. lying to come off as interesting
    2. unaware of their inner voice
    3. not understanding what ‘inner voice’ means. It’s not exactly like someone is talking to you, right? But it does come close.
  • Een overzicht van de plannen van het aanstaande kabinet: nachtje weg duurder, vliegtaks omhoog en salderingsregeling afgeschaft
    www.rtl.nl De maatregelen op een rij: nachtje weg duurder, vliegtaks omhoog en salderingsregeling afgeschaft

    Het kabinet van PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB wil een fors aantal aangekondigde belastingverhogingen terugdraaien. Dat kost de schatkist geld, want vele ervan waren al ingeboekt. Daartegenover staat ook een aantal bezuinigingen én belastingverhogingen.

    Naar mijn mening is het echt een tokkie-programma. BTW wordt weer geheven worden op theaters, boeken en musea, maar niet op pretparken en bioscopen. Minder geld naar klimaat, accijns op diesel gaat omlaag. Nog het meest schandalige van allemaal vind ik dat er bezuinigd gaat worden op zorgpersoneel.

    Ik ben benieuwd wat hier allemaal écht van terecht komt.

  • Removal of piracy communities
  • This sort for reminds me of a Sybil attack.

    I think it’s a good idea for everyone to register at an obscure Lemmy instance. If everyone’s on lemmy.world, it isn’t truly federated.

    Reddit allows piracy communities. These Lemmy communities aren’t hosted on your servers. That’s the whole thing - dbzer0.com and lemmy.ml are taking the risks, though there probably aren’t many risks in the first place.
