I use xmonad and won’t switch until there’s a viable alternative (probably never).

Remove the subsidies on agricultural products that get sprayed with glyphosate to increase yield. Corn, wheat, and potatoes in this country are poison because of the chemicals they spray them with…then they go and put that tainted product into sugars like HCFS.

Bar none:

Blue in Green

written by Mr. Bill Evans

It is not only the absolute best track on Kind of Blue, it is also the most beautiful, cathartic song in all of jazz history, IMO.

It’s the ‘Claire De Lune’ of Jazz!

Randonneuring

long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.

cool. I probably wouldn’t have started this community had I been able to find it in a search.

Could you possibly link it? Even knowing it exists, I am STILL unable to find it in a search even when I search from my kbin account.

KBin’s cool and all (might even end up being better than lemmy in the long run) but it is in a WAY earlier stage of dev than Lemmy and it shows.

I have MPV setup to play any YouTube link when I press ctrl cmd m with a YouTube video url in my clipboard.

It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline

It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could...

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

marketed? Maybe do your own research and stop relying on marketing to make decisions for you. Just because tech is used to scam idiots doesn’t mean tech is bad.

The fact that people are easily manipulated is somehow the fault of whoever invented unique ID’s? Your logic is not sound.

I, for one, have never bought a single NFT in my life. I just think technological ignorance is annoying.

Agreed on all points. Thanks for speaking reasonably. I too think the technology is INCREDIBLY promising but also acknowledge that it is in its infancy…and will continue to be because of the hivemind.

I think crypto technologies could work toward making a better democracy and other applications of a public ledger. I think it is currently the best solution to a decentralized, open source way to add incentive to the act of running public infrastucture. It’s actually my hope that perhaps it can be used to incentivize the act of running a lemmy/kbin instance (for instance).

I absolutely despise the moonboi bullshit and am honestly only in it for the technology and its relevance to the realization of a truly borderless, open source, anarcho-syndicalist, cypherpunk way of life. I want to own my property and I want to help use technology to make corruption impossible…and NFT’s, as a technology, are currently a key part to one of the best solutions to many of these issues. They, like crypto, are misunderstood.

To analogize my sentiment: it feels like the hivemind is espousing the benefits of for-profit healthcare that kills 70k people/year in the US while Single Payer stares them straight in the face around the world.

I have many counterpoints but I’d offer just one: the energy inefficiency is a thing of the past with proof of stake.

demesisx,
@demesisx@lemmy.world avatar

Look into proof of stake. Also a centralized database has many applications just as a decentralized public ledger has many applications. I wouldn’t, for example, implement liquid democracy on a centralized chain because that would invite corruption from that central entity.
