the fundamental problem IMO is searching. most people want a straightforward path to a place to view content and the fediverse is weak on that.

I use Proton. but I find it suss how they are trying to do it all, so I don’t use most of their products

What’s the story with them charging much less if you pay with their crypto currency?

Thank you. That was a cool read. We squander this amazing organ. I’m with you that it’s hard to find all these concepts in one place. Sapolsky’s lectures captures some of it.

Asking from a place of agreement, curious if you have any readings to suggest, on that impact to the brain. Always looking for solid content to send along to others

(beyond this article and the MIT research it cites)

that was an uplifting read for me. wish I encountered more upholding of principles out in the regular social media landscape

any recommended resources to learn more? Is this a lay person accessible option?

what about a solar panel that feeds into a battery? my winter bill spiked due to using a space heater, for instance. If I could have plugged into a pattery, skipued the grid, that would have been great. Is it that the cost of the battery would be too high?

any recommendations on guides for seedboxes?

Dang

Thanks! My barrier to using crypto has been this first purchase element. Because afaik crypto is not inherently pvt and anon?

Do you then need to buy the crypto anonymously? I’m always confused about that point

I’m on mbin, after kbin. It’s clunky but passable. I wish they’d get rid of some of the aternative jargon (thread vs post vs magazine) among other changes

Thank you. I disabled the google app (which I tbh low key don’t know what it even does)

So is Gemini on there as an app? It isn’t listed as such on my phone

Well, that was a little detour

Is piefed any of three listed on their site? Is it like mbin where fedia.io is one execution of it? Or is everyone here speaking of piefed.social, specifically?

Mercuri seems to be becoming more popular
