Yeah, people tend hate what they don’t understand. Especially when most people think think every blockchain performs exactly like bitcoin (which is proof of work). Bitcoin is slow and power hungry and would never actually be usable by the masses for everyday transactions. But it was the first and will likely be a “digital gold” for a long time

But it’s not the only one and in time everyone will be using blockchain technology. It’s so much more convenient and useful than most realize. The Solana blockchain has secured a big partnership with Visa that can be read up on if anyone is interested.

People just really need to support it.

This right here sir. You missed this part.

This is what I don’t get. I feel like one of the main things I see here is talk about reddit. Ffs, move on

I don’t know why, but this made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

What country do you live in? Curious to know which country wouldn’t ripping cds

I had the same issue until I discovered ReVanced. It’s literally the same old app but updated. I also have newpipe which I typically use for specific things… Or if I don’t want to receive video recommendations for a certain video

TIL that the FBI recommends using an ad blocker.

No, what is bad is how people who use drugs are treated like criminals and thrown in jail. People don’t suddenly decide they want to be addicted to crack or something… But you know… Curiosity kills the cat. These people need help, not jail time. In countries where drugs have been decriminalized, there’s very little usage of hard drugs. Iirc, when users are spotted, they are offered treatment instead of a jail sentence.

Decriminalization works and it has been proven… Yet there are still so many countries that refuse to take the step

For me it depends on the app, but I do sometimes get asked where to save things. If not, it usually defaults to downloads folder iirc

Not sure why you were downvoted… Some places don’t allow bikes in sidewalks

So far connect for lemmy has been nice. Kinda reminds me of RIF

This is what I’m using. Works great for me so far.
