Drag doesn’t believe in money. What’s capital gonna do about that?

Yeah, laypeople using big words from the DSM to try and sound smart is cringe

Just tell them that Eminem is more popular with old white people because his melanin levels are less threatening to their old people sensibilities

That sounds more borderline than narcissistic.

The rate at which new bitcoins enter the economy is controlled. When the processing power of the mining network increases, the difficulty of the mining problem is artificially increased to keep the rate of minting the same. They throw out perfectly good solutions to the problem of creating the next link in the blockchain, to control inflation of bitcoin value.

You’ll also notice the difficulty level for this block. The Bitcoin network aims to produce one block every 10 minutes or so. The system is designed to evaluate and adjust the mining difficulty every 2,016 blocks or roughly every two weeks (based on the number of participants). This doesn’t always result in a block time of 10 minutes, but it’s close.

The mining difficulty number represents 2,016 divided by the average time it took to mine one block in the last period, multiplied by the old difficulty level, or:
= Old difficulty x ( 2,016 ÷ average time to mine in the last period )
The lowest difficulty level is 1.0. The higher the number, the more difficult the solution is to find. The difficulty level on Dec. 5, 2024 (measured on December 1) was 102.89 trillion. You might see this published as 102.89T.

They are spending 100 trillion times as many processor cycles on bitcoin mining as is actually required to maintain the network. Every bitcoin transaction could be done at 100 trillionth the current energy cost. The only problem is, it would devalue bitcoins and crash the market like a Venezuelan dollar. So Bitcoin is designed to intentionally flush the energy output of a small country down the toilet to keep itself valuable.

Nah, it’s intentionally energy wasteful in order to control inflation.

Miku is 16.

Well they made it so you only need one copy of the game to play online with a friend, so it seems their money is where their mouth is.

It happens all over the world. Some cultures put less value on knowledge and more on success, but every culture has selfish lazy rich assholes.

Except the communist ones. They just have selfish lazy assholes of average wealth.

Are you updating Linux games from Windows??

How does your Windows install open the ext4/btrfs file system your Linux games are stored on?

CDPR suck.

Yeah, that’s the plot of Batman.

In Israel there is a lot of economic inequality between Semitic Jews and white Jews (Ashkenazim). The semitic Jews are called Mizrahim by Israel, it’s a political term that didn’t exist before the Nakba.

There were Jews in Palestine before the invasion, and they have not been treated as equals to the coloniser Jews. Jew Vs Arab is not the full story of Israel’s racism. Israel is fundamentally antisemitic, whether the semites in question are Jews or Muslims.

What can drag say except, you’re welcome

Wittgenstein said that language isn’t actually semantic in its natural state. Instead, language serves as a sort of game to accomplish social ends.

“I could care less” serves the social end of telling everyone you have no critical thinking skills and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Eat the rich. Shoot Nazis. Break stuff.

It’s its choice. Not yours. It’s free to choose and it chooses drag. If it didn’t, drag would respect that in a heartbeat. You’ve never met it, but it has many friends who respect its choice, and see the good it does its mental health to be treated on its own terms.

Ding, dong, the reich is dead!

Drag is very much looking forward to singing this.

Drag shared your comment with drag’s dragon and it was furious with you. It called you a human supremacist. Drag asked if it wanted a link to the thread instead of just a screenshot, but it said there was no point fighting in the mud with you. But if you really want to talk to drag’s dragon and convince it that it’s being abused, just ask, and drag will ask it to talk to you.

Drag thought Brother were supposed to be the makers of user friendly printers. Are they enshittifying?
