That’s correct, some still find it disrespectful though.

Ya you should always have at least 2 stages of animals/plants between any feed/nutrient cycle or you risk disease and build up of things like sodium

ARM is not paltry, it’s in small/portable devices because it’s efficient, not weak.

Your article is a pretty reasonable and fair evaluation of farcaster, but then your post saying crypto/web3 is “mostly really dumb and bad” is not very nuanced. I know a lot of people on Lemmy don’t like crypto, and that’s what’s in the meta right now, but if you are going to give something a fair shake, give it a fair shake, don’t just anticipate backlash for covering a crypto topic and preface it with “it’s mostly really dumb and bad”. Ya there are a lot of scams, and a lot of bullshit projects, but there is a core of really useful infrastructure there, which farcaster is using for self sovereign account registration/ownership.

Farcaster uses decentralized hubs and multiple clients, if you want global usernames you need a global db

Those are different design choices that have different trade offs, I didn’t make these decisions, I’m just explaining how it is

I understand, don’t get me wrong, 99% of stuff in crypto is hot garbage, but having a global database that isn’t controlled by any one (or even dozen) entities is pretty powerful. The 2 guys that started farcaster could quit, or get hit by a bus, or decide it’s not profitable enough and pivot, but at least you have control over your profile still. If reddit was decentralized more, they wouldn’t be able to shut down their APIs for 3rd party clients.

Trust me I understand the criticism of block chains, but if we want open source and the internet to thrive and not be controlled by companies, we need a global layer that is neutral.

But there’s no global consensus, it’s not trustless, and smart contracts unlock a lot of additional composable capabilities.

Which is a whole lot of extra engineering that is already taken care of with a blockchain. Whether social networks should forget your username/registration is a different debate.

Ok, we are talking in circles, you have your opinions, I have mine. If you want to talk about this over voice at any point, let me know, I don’t think text is going to get anywhere, and Lemmy has a pretty strong bias against crypto (which I understand, but obviously disagree with)

It is an obvious joke, I thought it was funny and didn’t realize this was going to be so controversial until I looked at the comments

Also, who decides who needs help? Some cases are obvious (neo-nazis), but many aren’t, and the majority of people won’t have enough context or time to make decisions for everything.

And to use encrypted messaging for any comms you don’t want public

Same, I report crashes, but regular telemetry is rather not

@AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

Oh ya, don’t get me wrong, im glad they have what they have and it’s opt in

I’m happy to hear the FTC is doing some shit. Seems like they kept quiet for years, but lately they’ve been on fire

It’s pretty glitchy on PC too if I remember

AtHeartEngineer,
@AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed, budget, and what are you trying to print?

128gb of gddr5! Lol

For gaming, the improvement in cores matters much more than the memory bandwidth, and for machine learning, more memory is needed desperately, so a new core with more vram, even if it’s not the latest hot shit vram, I would be totally happy with.
