It leaks out a bit if you watch enough of his videos. I don’t get the sense that he’s right-wing in a MAGA ultra-bigot way, he’s just very very libertarian. Loose gun laws, low-taxes, government stay outta my life kinda guy.
Not the kind of politics I subscribe to, but I don’t consider him to be a bad person for it.
I think the difference is you could use it somehow outside of a bank account, like with just a digital wallet? I’m no economist, but I don’t see any tangible benefits to this either. Having a frictionless alternative to etransfers would be nice I guess, but not worth making major changes to our monetary structure.
First I heard too, I found this from the Bank of Canada.
tl;dr Its not crypto and they don’t have immediate plans to implement it, but they’re exploring the idea and just completed a public consultation on it.
So much irony especially coming from a piracy sub. You’d think pirates would support decentralized communities. It’s also just another example of reddit’s complete inability to understand how protests work; they’re supposed to be an inconvenience, that’s literally the point.
Oh well, I’m kinda glad a lot of them are staying there, there’s a noticable lack of toxicity here vs. reddit. I just hope the decent ones will make their way over.
Sure, is here is a zip of my mods. Also includes some cheats, and different FPS mods.
Growing pains. There’s been like 1000% growth or something ridiculous in the past week. The nature of the fediverse will make it more resilient in the long term and the backend software is rapidly being updated.
You could also try a different instance, could be too much load on dbzer0’s server.
EDIT: I don’t think open hostility towards people having issues with Lemmy is productive. We should be helping people with the issues they’re having if we want to grow. There is a learning curve to this.
Keep in mind that rif has been around since 2010, and the official app launched in 2016. I think the opposite is true, anecdotally I’ve noticed discussion of 3PA has gone down in the past 5 years. People used to talk about it all the time, I didn’t hear much until this controversy. Most redditors are not power-users, I don’t think many of them would know what F-Droid is let alone use it. I’d personally guess that 3PA usage is under 10%.
I think this change was mainly sparked by cracking down on AI scraping bots, and killing 3PA was a two-birds-one-stone side effect to prepare for their IPO.
Probably a good choice. Calckey sounds like an unmaintained spreadsheet software project. Firefish is better, if a little generic.
