"The reality is people don’t want to pick their favorite community, running an instance is expensive and complicated, and owning your data isn’t a product feature."
This is the problem that affects all federated/decentralized projects. Same thing with Urbit. No one wants to keep their computer running 24/7 to support a network. and no one wants to bare the financial burden of paying for a server to host a community.
Bag holders are going to try to spin this into a conspiracy theory to pump the value of BTC. Next they will be saying that Satoshi was Steve Jobs or some nonsense.
We're already screwed because the internet is dying. Everyone is just using phones now, all the forums are shutting down. IRC is dead. Matrix is dead. Discord lives because it's a gamer/trans rights echo chamber. but that's it. The late 90s and early 2000s was the golden era of the internet. we're living in the detritus now.
Without any fiat on-ramp crypto is worthless. its value is always measured by how much fiat it can be sold for. without that it has no value. what are you gonna do, go mail a stranger cash for coins? send him gold bars for coins? lol. this crap is OVER. please wake up! or dont, i don't really care..
Might as well cancel it. The games are non-existent. and the quality of the games they have been releasing look like xbox 360 graphics. Not to mention Microsoft buying up every studio they can get their hands on.
The problem isn't that GTK3x is hard to use, It's that its simply not capable of creating beautiful UI's like GTK2x could. It can't create any tool bars without making them thick and huge, even DE's like xfce that try to maintain that old gtk2x look and feel can't do it anymore because of this.
i hate systemd it's always getting hung up on shutdown. "a stop job is running for blah blah" yea no. when i'm ready to shut down, it needs to shut down. immediately.
i don't fear this stuff. at the end of the day if the digital world becomes detrimental to my health i can just call up my ISP and cancel my service. good luck rotting my brain when you have no internet connection to my house.
i hope robots do take all the jobs. jobs today are terrible. they don't pay enough and you have to take orders from a class of managers that fancy themselves as feudal lords and you their serfs. so yea. good riddance to the "jobs". everything is made up in this system anyway, everyone knows it. just do crypto ubi and let the robots do all the drudge work.
