I have a recursion joke. Re-read this for the punchline.

There are some fringe benefits for blockchain but massive issues with normal human issues like:

• Scams/theft: person has the wallet lost through scam or left, how do you invalidate the lost credentials or tickets.

• Wallet loss: loss through any number of means: fire, incompetence, computer being destroyed, loss of account to cloud backup etc

• Issuer need to invalidate: if tickets/credentials were purchased by fraud or an issue occurs where they need to invalidate

How does blockchain handle these common situations?

There are 17 million new cars sold in the US every year. Somebody is buying them.

Median new car price is $46k, so $21k after tax credit for a used car is very doable for many.

They’re insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol

You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.

It has some good points. I went through all 99 slides and thought it was rather interesting. Btw, there were no ads in the slides, which was good, because I would have left immediately.

Main focus is just how badly Reddit hurt their mobile web experience to constantly nag you to use their shitty app.

12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.

Client <-> vps <-> home server

I’m looking to set up exactly this for myself with a linode vps, and wireguard containers. Any tips? Even a docker compose snippet would be helpful.

But what is the goal? Gamification does work if your goal is quantity over quality, which it is for many site owners who want big numbers and to push ads. But for Lemmy, the only goal is for people to have a place to post links, comment, and build communities. People shouldn’t post if they don’t have something meaningful to contribute.

I’m not necessarily against showing stats for users, but we don’t have corporate goals like “engagement”.

Wow, amazing to see and experience the community grow and become so active. I love it! :D

Soon we will look back amazed at these growing little numbers. They’re growing quickly but I expect it to grow by one or two more orders of magnitude over the coming months!
