n00b001,

You’re partially correct with some of these points.

Theatge amount of energy you mention is really only relevant to proof of work. You’ve mentioned proof of stake etc - so you should know that. The energy requirements for “proof” techniques such as PoS is negligible

Reversing transactions are ‘hard’/infesable - and so in a way they do help scammers - but I think it’s a false equivalence. It helps everyone. In my mind it’s like says “encryption helps terrorists”, that may be true, but it helps us all.

Regarding on chain transaction transparency, there are some chains that are like this (bitcoin), and there are some chains that are not (monero). There’s also ways to anonymise transactions through mixers etc if you do care about that. Although, I don’t know of anyone that gets their salary into their crypto wallet.

Overall, regulation is slow! But it’s getting there. I don’t think crpyto will solve all of.humans problems, but I might just help with some. It’s going to be interesting seeing how it all plays out - people thought it was going to be here and gone in a year, but it’s been over a decade now.

My mouth waters at the idea of decentralised, infrastructure-less, encrypted, p2p, mesh messaging

Thanks for pointing me towards Berty!

I think I tired Briar, but I either couldn’t get it working on android or on iOS

n00b001,

I’m not seeing any WiFi direct/Bluetooth mesh capability with Simplex

It looks like a p2p messenger - which is cool, but that’s not what tickles my pickle

n00b001,

What gets me really excited is the idea of messaging in low internet connectivity areas (aeroplanes (to someone else on the plane)) on the subway/underground

The idea of Bluetooth/WiFi direct mesh, with “internet gateway” devices (maybe those people are rewarded in some way)

In this dream of mine, people can communicate, send data, through non ideal internet conditions (maybe one person on an aeroplane has internet, and they are the gateway for others)

There may be some relay servers running on AWS or whatever, but people could also run their own relays (I guess all devices are a relay)

I’ve tried to get this working myself, using a library called “reticulum” I found in GitHub (good library, but I couldn’t get Bluetooth/WiFi mesh working)

n00b001,

That’s a bit like rocket league with mutator settings

n00b001,

And if someone can’t afford a car, and they live within a car-centric area of the world, and they can’t afford to move?

Maybe they make a gamble and buy a car with the hope it will be an investment, and provide them with more income…

But when interest rates have been at near zero for over a decade, and now they have shot up - it could upset quite a lot of finances!

This project is similar to that (and sibling projects such as nomad network and sideband)

Where it gets spicy is:

Buying (financing) a new car, and then having it repossessed at half the purchased value (still 50%) debt to pay

If people have cars repossessed en mass, the second hand car market will be affected, prices for used cars go down (because the supply goes up). This makes repossessions not cover the whole loan, see above point

Finally, as more and more Americans no longer have access to cars, they also lose access to… A lot of society (work, education, healthcare). If this affects a large enough percent of the population, there will be macro effects.

n00b001,

I don’t know mu h about USA student debt, I’m in the UK. That does sound pretty different

I was trying to point out how a wide spread auto loan defaults could have far reaching consequences

n00b001,

If you remember 2008, it wasn’t the bank execs that were burned, it wasn’t even really the bank employees that were burned (although some did lose their jobs)

It was everyday people that lost their homes, their jobs, their lives.

I’m all for a bit if chaos in the name of redistributing wealth, or resetting some madness that has worked it’s way into society, but I don’t think this is it

n00b001,

Totally, however, to play devil’s advocate of that… There is only so much inventory that these companies can hold. It’s similar situation to house price crashes. Banks are left with too much stock.

However, with property, banks can rent them out… Maybe we will see a huge industry of second hand rent-from-large-corporation-and-never-own-anythings popping up soon…

At birth babies should be working 5 jobs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. No more handouts from mummy milkers! Bring back mandetory conscription for newborns! The market will provide, this toddler was homeless because the government is too large, and there is too much regulation!

Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths (www.theverge.com)

Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US. Alongside the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company now seeks to remedy the products after four known death cases — three without a helmet — between...

100usd off of store purchases are nothing. I am just imagining they have postponed their 100usd off black Friday deal for another 6 months to justify this ‘payment’

They don’t lose anything from this offer.

HDR and VRR (g-sync) compatible?

The UK is still in Europe, but no longer in the EU

I don’t understand why it’s missed out here

n00b001,

Think of the carbon life cycle.

There’s hydrocarbons underground that have been there for millions of years. Used to be in the air, but now it’s not.

Now it’s burned as jet fuel (releasing that cow back into the air)

If trees pull that co2 info their wood, what happens to that wood in 10,000 years? It’s going to be in the atmosphere again (bacteria and fungi break down dead wood)

So the only way to do it, using trees, would be to burry them after maturation and make sure they don’t rot. And you’d need to do this to capture the gigs tonnes of co2 that is released (that’s a lot of trees…and a lot of digging…)

n00b001,

I would say that pickup trucks have far more utility than SUVs! Some SUVs are large and 2 wheel drive, with a weak engine. What is their purpose?

Nissan juke for example… a horrendous car.

n00b001,

I live in the UK, and our roads are small. We had small cars:

  • the old mini
  • fiats Etc

But SUVs seem overly large without the added benefit of 4x4, or the carrying capacity/utility of a pick up truck

I hope the SUV trend goes… not everyone needs or wants a car that large!

Aphantasia... apparently 3% of the world has it. Any aphantasists in here, who've had success improving their condition?

10 years ago, I’d have put my ability to visualise at 0 out of 10. Practice and occasional halucinogen use has got me to 2 out of 10. It causes no end of problems in day to day life, so I’m interested to hear if anyone has tips or just experiences to share so it doesn’t feel such a lonely frustrating issue....

n00b001,

I have this!

And sometimes when I am in that mode, I can close my eyes and still see the room perfectly (including correct rotation/translation as I’m sat up in bed with my eyes closed and moving me head around like an idiot)

It’s great fun, I wish it could always be like this

n00b001,

You must have slipped through the system, I’ve made a note of it.

Tomorrow, order will be restored

I’d love to sort it out now, but my back just ain’t what it used to be. Plus I’ve got this killer migraine.

Webb Discovers Methane, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 b (www.nasa.gov)

A new investigation with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope into K2-18 b, an exoplanet 8.6 times as massive as Earth, has revealed the presence of carbon-bearing molecules including methane and carbon dioxide. Webb’s discovery adds to recent studies suggesting that K2-18 b could be a Hycean exoplanet, one which has the...

  1. If say the the majority of humans have mental difficulties at some point, and that’s no reason to ostracize someone.
  2. I don’t know why you think this person is mentally ill. Maybe you’re being edgy based on how the account self identifies. If so, very good, very funny. Wow. Amazing joke. (Sarcasm)

Sacrifice humans to the sacred alter of Exxon

The oil must flow!

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Now my safe space is filled with cum
