Destroying the Amazon for beef is a better use? Swimming pools are better uses?
As opposed to using them for Bitcoin? Oh yes, 1000%.
The technology is interesting but the people and economics around Crypto is rotten to the core. Crypto as it is today is a shitstain on humanity.
Ummm, all of the examples you gave are actually more reasonable and valuable uses of water than Bitcoin.
SelfAwareWolf is that you?

You’re opinion? Maybe 3.5 or fewer more
Nothing is literally nothing, Apple could care less about them.
Nothing’s solution is basically getting you to send your messages to them, and they’ll send it through a Mac logged into your Apple ID hence achieving the “blue bubble” lol. Hugely insecure, hacky solution and hardly groundbreaking.
We’re doomscrolling on Lemmy, so already well on our way.
OP is flagging a legitimate issue that can actually put instance owners at risk. Raising the issue that instance owners can unwittingly host illegal content and be liable for it - how is that entitled?
Totally understand that Lemmy devs are a small team, but the growth of use of the software is exploding now, and not being able to keep up is a problem of scale - gatekeeping others from raising issues does not help it get better and in fact discourages issue reports and promotes a head-in-the-sand culture.
Is it because you have Chrome WebView disabled? So it’s not finding a supported WebView to use?
No. Still stumps me why some people put it up there with Firefox, there is no contest. Brave is sketch as hell.
Yep, and it’s even worse for mobile apps because people are so used to the terrible dollar-per-app model, despite the fact that these mobile apps are actually THE software they use everyday.
Apple and Google don’t care, they get 30% cut regardless whether the dev makes $100 / sale or $1 / sale at higher volume. But it was a good strategy to shift the power over to the iOS and Android platforms because the perception is, dollar-per-app devs can’t be that important, right? And they’ll never get too big.
Apple and Google app stores had done devs dirty by popularizing the dollar-an-app model. Completely set the wrong expectations about the value of software for users, especially younger ones who grew up with this bs.
Preach. Not sure why this is so hard for folks to understand.
App development isn’t and never has been an one-time done deal. Devs always do the work to fix bugs, add new features / requests, upgrade to new platform / API etc. If they do this for free that is at their will but they are burning their own time / money one way or another. To demand a developer to run their business a certain way and mandate their business model is just mind-blowing to me.
I don’t think Tildes is turning anyone away, not sure where that narrative comes from. Anyone can request an invite from the owner themselves.They are just not looking for explosive growth like some of the other services are.
In fact I think the invite system is an effective way to keep the boys away as the free-for-all signups are easier to game.
Relax man lol. It sounds like you’ve been through some shit on the Fediverse, but it has nothing to do with me. Project your anger elsewhere.
And I wish I’m a Linux techie so I can wipe my lonely tears away every night with cold hard cash.
I agree about smaller subs, those are gold.
Well yeah, you are probably going though Reddit withdrawal. Comparing anything to Reddit and it’ll seem dead.
techy linux weirdo
Get outside of your own circle every once in a while
Not a fan of your incendiary language and provacatory flaming attempts, but pretty on-brand for refugees who misses Reddit like an ex. I mean, Reddit is still around and I’m sure they’ll take you back, just apologize and use the Official App™!
Reddit was great because there wasn’t really any benefit to getting “popular” on the platform
Strongly disagree. The whole Karma / award / Gold system combined with algorithms ensures a certain type of posts are favored, and comments / discourse of certain type gets upvotes and visibility. There is a pattern under the most popular Reddit posts and comments and it’s not hard to see.
Lemmy has sort of a half-hearted voting system which I feel is actually beneficial to the experience and the fact there is no algorithm messing about is another big plus.
And that’s totally fine. I have both and use both on a daily basis.
I just find it strange that people shitting on Tildes despite that it’s overall a healthy and well run community. We should really be glad that other communities are coming up, they are not mutually exclusive after all.
But is it though? By definition moderation and adminstration means a certain set of standard and rules to keep the community / site runs well. Tildes simply has their own set of standards that so far I think is working well.
Lemmy has mods too and there are plenty of powertripping drama. Does that make Lemmy elitist? Or less so simply because it allows shitposts and memes?
Why do you think it’s more complicated than a yes or no?
