Yeah I would love to "waste" the time on actually enjoying a game, rather than just passively zoning out for way longer than I intended

Gay as in the two homonyms, or...

I can think of a few companies / products that would love to know that you're in the bathroom every couple hours, for instance.

Or even anonymised, a company or study might want to buy "average Nova Scotian time spent in living room on weekends"

Big data is worth big $$$

Uh yeah. I stand with the Luddites, and the Diggers, and the strikers, and everyone who stands up for a better future

Sick fucks that's who, and free speech absolutistes in here defending snuff like wtf. I want federation, but I still believe in moderation

I sure agree. Don't know how your comment managed to become so reviled.

I appreciate aggressive banning of obviously disgusting material from the communities I'm a part of. That's why I'm part of them.

Exactly. By making the internet more welcoming to advertisers, in a way we also made it more easy going. I would rather not go back to the days where just scrolling opened you up to seeing gore, goatse, or worse.

Like it's valid to want good moderation. I think that's all the other person was saying

Yes and

I guess I'm talking more about blockchain? I never got too deep into this world. But like a way to hash transactions made with real money in a way that would be harder to commit fraud with. I dunno, maybe accountants already do this some way.

I'm imagining an example where you couldn't disappear a line item because then the ledger's hash wouldn't come out right, and bingo bango, tax evasion charges incoming.

Lol haha

I knew people (well one person; in my developer meetup group) that went deep on the NTF craze, like has an spe avatar unironically, spent a bunch on NFTs, and if they're telling the truth made bank off of them.

It's pretty disappointing. I wonder whose money they took.

That arises at least somewhat more organically around a real interest that millions of people have been enjoying and obsessing over for generations. So it's not fair to say it's totally arbitrary.

The logo stuff is weird though. That's definitely more "Veblen" like the high price point is itself a flex and desire for, if not true luxury, then the appearance of opulence.

Behold my one of a kind unique string of characters. Me I own this tangible property. But lo! For only 0.42069lol "BTC-lts33" (a REAL and stable currency that is NOT speculative AT ALL) I will maintain a CSV on my server (192.168.6.9/wp-admin/test/test2/myPage.php) I will serve you a guaranteed locally unique identifier (starting at "3" (I'm holding on to the other two strings for a rainy day)) that points to the row with this string, so you can show off that YOU are the sole owner of this totally unique investment property.

This server is guaranteed up, with 100.00000% uptime since this morning

I'm not against this. And as far as I can tell it isn't a get rich scheme. I mean the tech companies implementing and maintaining it would probably make a killing, but that goes for any enterprise that supports big finance.

God I am not going to miss every art community being flooded with low effort developer art that had no actual artistic merit.

I mean I do developer art, but I wouldn't try to sell it, let alone sell it as an investment. Fucking rofl

They meant "exaggerating"

Anti-natalist long-termist be like

Where's the money in that?

I guess they could make you think you're better at competitive games than you thought, but then that still doesn't guide you to buy anything extra

Rofl

That's not even the remotely the same situation
