I’m just blocking you now. You’re just trolling

Talking about logical fallacies while summarily hand-waving away all of crypto is pretty interesting.

I guess some random HN user is smarter than the research arms of these companies who are all building on and utilizing crypto: https://ethereumadoption.com/

😂

Edit: stablecoins have already reached parity with traditional payment networks

And yea, like the other user said, just don’t use it! Nobody will be mad that you don’t use it, or care. I don’t have venmo, so I don’t use it. I don’t get mad when somebody offers it. 🤷‍♀️

Wait until you learn about tradfi

EDIT: to answer slightly more seriously, crypto is just a tool. The great thing about crypto is that anybody can use it. The bad thing about crypto is that anybody can use it. Yes, there’s lots of dogshit out there (by lots I mean like 95% or more). But the big projects, BTC, ETH, defi stuff like AAVE, Compound, etc are very useful tools. I don’t think people realize how exploitative the banking and finance industry really are, and crypto bypasses most of that.

I remember seeing Iron Maiden open for Ozzy back in like 2002. They blew Ozzy off the stage with their set so Sharon literally unplugged them. She is so petty.

The entire premise of this post is that people are supposedly bricking their systems, and atomic distros fix this.

My argument is that nobody is bricking their system. I will repeat it, because that’s the assumption made by op to argue in favor of atomic distros.

You are free to disagree, but at this point you are just arguing to argue.

I’m quoting the OP. His argument is that atomic distros are the future because people are out there bricking their systems.

updates that either work 100% or roll back automatically, no more “oops I bricked my system” moments

I love flatpak lol. something like debian + flatpak is win-win imo

I’m curious what you’re doing to your system that bricks it so often that would be considered a risk for a normal every-day normie user?

oops I bricked my system

I honestly can’t think of a single time I’ve done this in the 20 years I’ve been using linux.

what’s keeping YOU from switching to an atomic distro

I dunno, it just seems like the latest fad. Debian/Arch work just fine.

Just another question, where would you ideally like to see protest news posted on lemmy? Yes there’s the 50501 community, I also post on DSA community. Where else?

Yes?

The USA has one party: the capitalist party. They do not represent you, they represent corporate interests. Your vote doesn’t even really matter because of the electoral college, and other racist relics such as the Senate, giving ridiculous power to to just a handful of “swing voters”.

Voting once every 4 years for either the capitalist war monger or the other capitalist war monger, while they both ban 3rd party candidates from the ballot, does not make the USA “democratic”.

Edit: also who cares if it’s one party? In each of these cases the party has brought the entire population out of abject poverty (usually the result of capitalism exploiting them), increased education surpassing the USA, brought healthcare to all, have higher home ownership rates than the USA, etc.

Objective quality of life measurements all surpass the USA.

No, it gets destroyed by a CIA-funded coup every time. (Read Jakarta Method)

But look at Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Kerala, China, Burkino Faso for modern attempts at Socialism/Communism

Where do you fit in? Do you own capital? Are you a business owner or a factory owner? If not then you are a tool for capitalists to exploit as they wish

To be fair, I don’t consume mainstream media whatsoever anymore. After reading Manufacturing Consent, I see no point. I get all my news from socials or alt news sources like Democracy Now!, counter punch, it’s going down, and Mother Jones, etc …

Do you think reddit is immune to the oligarchs? I don’t think so at all.

Well no, but the question was why is there no mainstream media coverage.

I’ve posted a couple things here on lemmy. Let’s be honest though, the reach of reddit is orders of magnitude higher than here

/50501 here and on reddit.

Why would the news, controlled and operated by oligarchs, give people protesting oligarchs any coverage?

“the CIA-funded propaganda machine told me so”

These many uses cases: ethereumadoption.com

Also stablecoin volume just flipped Visa.

Taxing them will not fix the system that produces them.
