While I… dream of a world where something like kaspa is used for such things, quit larping. Crypto is for gambling and money laundering.

No one on Facebook marketplace is going to go “Oh, send me your eth address.”, lmao.

status of “Books”

isnt is

download our app

Nah

delete account…

suddenly 20 new chromium forks appear

Huh, where’d those come from, I wonder. 🤔

It’s just… Part of TikTok is attention-seeking.

It’s kinda the entire point for a lot of the users and uploaders, that and getting paid to continue the cycle of creating more content.

If you’re expecting us, as-in, the federated populace on Lemmy and Mastodon to use it, I dunno, man. Sharing personal content is a very rare use case here. We usually stick to news and memes.

Then again, communities that are rather reliant on a performance like fishing, sports, guitar, drums, and skill toys like yoyos might get a use out of having a safe public place to upload themselves without outside influence.

Someone always has to be king shit of whatever hill they’re on.

Preservation is an invasive and destructive process. Recreating the experience of watching ‘The Daily Show’ in the 90s or early '00s is already impossible. Language and culture mildew and rot just like leather and wood.

EDIT: People don’t seem to understand what I’m talking about. Even the people who are responding in good faith seem confused. That’s on me. So I thought I’d try to clarify with an example.

Take the Mona Lisa. Perhaps one of the most preserved objects in history. It’s so well preserved that it’s impossible to see. Sure, you can look at it, but you won’t see it. Taking a picture of the painting is encouraged, but you can’t get a look at it in your camera roll either.

If you saw the actual painting hanging on a friend’s wall, your first thought would probably not be “what a masterpiece”, but “why didn’t they remove the default print that came with the frame”? If you go to Paris, you can wait in line to have the “Mona Lisa experience” but the painting you saw wasn’t hanging on the wall, what you’ll see is the Mona Lisa you brought with you.

(yes, I stole this example from ‘were in hell’ youtube channel)

Figured I’d make a copy. Who knows, the OP might change it in the future. Gotta preserve the past and all.

Yep, my shelf of DVDs of movies I loved growing up became 4TB of media on a Jellyfin server, cloned to a cold drive I leave in my closet.

Well there’s borrowing, but I feel that’s what we’re all already doing.

They’ve been phoning their games in since the WiiU era anyway.

The last real Nintendo release I felt was original and packed with content was 3D World.

Everything since feels like they let interns design things en-masse and half bake most of their releases. Zelda and Mario get sandboxes, one 2D release in years, and remakes. There’s Metroid Prime 4, but… if we’re being real, it should’ve come out half a decade ago, not to mention tossing Gamefreak the BOTW engine and apparently not helping, at all with recent Pokemon games if the bugs are anything to go by, Smash netcode issues and not being taken seriously as a competitive sport, gatekeeping their classics behind worse in-house emulators than what you get for free on GitHub, you could write a book.

Where my bass fishing homies at?

And you can still tailor it to yourself. Instances have different mindsets to different topics and things they allow or don’t and there’s tons of people to agree with or disagree with but everyone is cordial.

I just don’t have a reason to go back

…I’m gonna go ahead and say it.

I like it better here.

Time to fire half the workforce.

Before you do that… I have a better idea

This is how they cull us now. Make us quit.

Just as planned - Amazon Execs who aren’t planning to rehire them anyway.

They do this shit to cull you.

I drive a 2014 si

That Civic is hands down the most bulletproof, refined and perfected k-series car Honda ever produced, or ever will, at this point.

If anyone reading this wants a V6, find a manual TL. Equally bulletproof, but with a J-series and room to stretch out and they are CHEAP for zero reason on the market. I don’t even understand it other than they don’t really have tuning potential, but as a commuter car, they can’t be beat for the price to comfort. They ride like clouds and have 300hp to punch with if you stomp them down an offramp.

My mom won’t stop continually trying to cure her type 1 diabetes with every conceivable bullshit product known to mankind, assured by God and stubbornness that it can be done. Most of it, she hides from her doctor.

This week it’s mushroom coffee. Last month it was CBD pills. Usually always from Facebook ads. I give her a lecture every time. She ignores it every time. It’s basically all she spends he money on and you can’t tell her not to. Sometimes it isn’t even an online product and I’ll find every salt container in the trash can.

we don’t eat salt anymore, it’s the problem

Then I have to wrestle all of it back out, explain the history of cooking from 2000 years to now and why is important then ask who on earth told her that.

Every. Single. Week and she falls for it every single time. Ugh.

welp, that’s all done!

disconnect it from the internet again

To sell them more games and merchandise and sell any data it collects.

It all sounds insane to me because I treat every TV like a computer monitor. Whatever I plug into it is what it displays. I usually ignore the onboard software as much as possible.
