    Can someone tell me how decentralized money became the enemy? It is decentralized currency that is like everything we stand for literally using mastodon protocol here.

    it’s not the creators fault that the first thing the userbase did was centralize it onto these marketplaces lol. I’m reminding people that this is conceptually great but terrible implementation, across the board.

    When you go just ask if there’s cars or models without the car itself having a SIM card but that still has carplay. People love to drum this stuff up but they still make dumb cars. There’s usually like 3 variations maybe 4 of each model. Go lower on the model to get less features but still the right amount of them.


  • Having my lights turn off from a voice control is really useful when I want to take a nap but I found that it was weird having all this shit tied into a strangers cloud (google, amazon, apple, whatever). If its hosted at home its usually just fine. As long as ET doesn’t phone home.




  • If I am reading this correctly, men drifting towards conservative and women drifting towards liberal?

    That would reflect the culture found in apps - I feel like men with andrew tate and things like truth social/rumble/kick and women drift more towards stuff like reddit/tiktok/instagram where you can usually see a lot more liberal idealogy.

    I had reasoning for the steam deck when I wrote that but I’m struggling to recall why. There was some niche with Linux for it since it has good support for Linux applications but I can’t remember how I thought it would fit

    Anyhow nook and especially kobo are solid.

    Can I be ridiculous here and say that a nook e-reader or kobo e-reader, and a steamdeck would suffice?

    Maybe just a kobo?

    I know it’s not Linux and that’s what you asked for, but at the end of 2022 when I looked into this I had a hard time finding Linux tablet with a good UX.




  • Yeah I can see an element of that being true. I wouldn’t mind just enjoying it for what it’s worth.

    I think though that the mainstream being able to speak what they think without a reddit bot saying “pictures are not allowed on /pics because it’s not a hyperlink and 84 characters long is not allowed” has value.

    In other words just unrestricted free speech for the more reasonable part (no threats). But on the other end once it’s picked up by mainstream it probably is ruined by pumping of ads somehow.


  • I’m glad you think so. I remember Richard stallman banging on a bongo singing that charging for software is greed.

    I just want people to have enough incentives for their time that things are safe and the workers paid properly. I wish more open source devs got paid.
