That's true, but also the algorithm plays an important role. Do we really need ASIC farms in order to secure the network? Ideally, and how it was thought at the beginning, the individual nodes should also be responsible for its validation, using consumer grade hardware.
There are greener algorithms like the Monero's. Also Nano uses something called "block lattice" in order to secure the network, with close to 0 required energy
Being on Lemmy, I like the idea of decentralized and permissionless stuff, including money. The problem I have with crypto is that they're either clearly scams (Trumpcoin, Melaniacoin etc) or they were not intended as a scam but the market fails to fairly price them because they speculate (e.g. Bitcoin).
Also I don't understand why people keep insisting in buying Bitcoin when the energy to "produce" it is enormous and is responsible for a lot of CO2 emissions when there are greener cryptocurrencies.
THIS. I feel like linux man pages are as useful as an Analytical mechanics textbook for someone who just wants to drive. Like yes, sure, it's amazing we have such a detailed documentation but for God's sake just introduce basic usages first
I don't understand why some internet users are like this. Like it costs literally nothing to be nice. The only people who spread hate and insults online are those who have a miserable real life, so not worth engaging with.
I've recently been in Capri and I brought food and water from home, because yeah, they try to rip us off in these touristic places. Maybe in Anacapri it's more affordable
I don't like the fact that users receive a banner next to their name if they get downvoted a lot. This makes other people judge negatively the comment even before reading it. I think it also encourages people to keep downvoting and discourages to upvote (as what happens with mass down votes of a comment on Reddit just for the sake of doing so).
Edit: sorry for my English, it's not my native language + I just removed up
In the code there is a function that recognizes if the name of the community contains "meme" and if so does not add the upvote to the vote counter of the user
To find un-paywalled articles (originally paywalled) I suggest https://archive.is/ or https://archive.org/
(i have yet to understand why they don't team up)
No, no burger eagle. The United Nations. Independent reports from all over the world. You're currently enjoying the freedom of expressing pro North Korea sentiment in your country. Would try to support the West in DPRK you'll find yourself in big big problems.
Note how normal people have no issues saying that Democrats may be (or likely are) in the Epstein files, but MAGAs are like "The files are a hoax but if they exist he is not in them but if he's in them it's just a juvenile mistake, who cares"
You're literally me. I love open source, decentralization and public knowledge so I totally love what you said.
