You are right about torrents. Blockchains could be useful, but indirectly. For instance, Filecoin is a marketplace for decentralized storage. You can pay 1$ per TB per year, and the amount of storage can scale almost to infinity because as demand increase, price increase, and offer increase
These platflorms are all declining. Facebook has been for years. This path leads to certain death. There is no way for them to recover from their past mistakes. So it’s equivalent to being already dead for me
What the hell. Guys read the fucking article. I mean both articles, there is another one linked into the main one. The inner article is bullshit, the author misunderstood a website. That makes the outer article bullshit too! How can people upvote such low quality posts???
It is difficult for me to ascertain when the person I am communicating is using a logical fallacy to trick me into believing him or doubting my judgement, even when I realise it hours after the argument....
I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much....
Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I’m avoiding Brave from now on....
Did you ever wonder why people spent energy for Bitcoin instead of selling it to consumers and industries? It would clearly be more profitable right? You will be surprised to learn that they do when possible. They only mine Bitcoin when it’s the most profitable use of energy, which never happens unless Bitcoin is actually the only available option. People mine with energy they can’t sell or store for technical reasons. Whether that’s because there is not enough demand for it (Africa) or the facility is not connected to the grid. That means people mine Bitcoin with energy that would have been wasted otherwise. That’s neutral for climate
In France we had something in our constitution once that ruled that trying to abuse the laws was prohibited and judges were instructed to apply the law in a fair way, not in the most technically correct way
I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

What do you use Vaseline for?
I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?
Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?
