yeah. funny thing is there is like gridcoin which is perfectly fine because it uses the energy for useful work but they don’t like it because it does not have the pyramid scheme artifical value increase. Its value by and large stays in line with energy prices (although if you look historically there is this hilarious spike when idiots were grabbing at everything crypto. it pretty much shows the point in time where cypto became a buzzword thing)

oh yeah. in the end you have a system that creates artificial value by requiring the sacrifice of real value. heres one credit for burning a barrel of oil. oh now you have to burn 2 to get a credit, now its 4, now its 8.

thing is that few if any use cases for blockchain were found and any actual useful things would not require much energy. The high energy crypto itself does nothing useful over more efficient alternatives and I don’t know what you mean by fizzle out but it still uses massive amounts of energy. the language models unfortunately do things that are useful and is much more likely to keep drawing power.

I heard that if you search for lemon party 69 and click on I feel lucky that it will disable all google trackers forever.

to subscribe and get a curated list of what you want to look at. I can’t imagine lurking without subscriptions to what im interested in.

I bet you will make one a day sooner if you know you won’t be able to post for day.

yeah I want as much power pushed down to the individual as possible. I was even thinking you just sorta have recommended mods. like by default you are subscribed to their block lists for the community but if you subscribe you have an option to see unmoderated or such.

yeah that sorta still stinks. so my wife and I can’t help each other in elden ring but still. half a loag is better than none.

I agree here. Filling out an application would have easily kept me out. Many may see that as a good thing though :)

I think this would be great to limit this. I really don’t understand people wanting to comment right away. I just lurked for like a month to get a feel before I decided to participate.

yeah usually less than an hour to a few hours old. occasionally they make it to days.

I wish there was a seperate block as spam that would auto report. Some things I block due to lack of interest but others spam and our current report takes more clicks than I like. Then I would also like to be able to subscribe to peoples spam block list. If I like the cut of someones hib I might just subscribe to block any spam they block.

oh I do hope they have improved it. When we started with steam the game borrowing was pretty great but now she can’t be online when I borrow a game which is just dumb.

No. I realize its an option but its sorta creepy to me. Its like opening the other persons mail.

This is annoying as we buy everything under my wifes account and we hook up mine with family sharing.

Honestly I would not recognize the name if it were not for a guy I knew who she was his dream girls (for some reason there is a type of guy who has one model, actress, etc that they are just obssesed with. The obsession is not huge but you will know how much they like X. I guess sometimes its a band or athlete and can be male now that I think of it)

Im talking about the time when mac enthusiasts would brag about how many more ports a macbook had over a windows laptop. I use the term just because when they went minimalist design coincided when the apple store started acutally said they would not deal with something which was the cable losing their casing which did end up being a design issue so they handled it later but previous to that they would never not do something unless it was obvious you took a hammer to it or something. my last mac was the macbook pro erra with the dvd-i port.

I loved macs back when it was more maximalist design and its service was beyond reproach. anyone buying a pc might be installing linux on it. not that many vendors specific to linux.

Meh. I have facebook but don’t really use it much. my condo has a page so its like a semi public chat and sometimes have communication with folks. Certainly never use the feed though and I hate checking it every few weeks. I certainly don’t want anyone im connected to to think they will get a faster response if they hit me up there. I bet other things besides facebook spreads bs though. I see it with youtube users. I use youtube but I don’t really chase my feed.
