I just had a look at the description to make sure I wasn't crazy and yes it says right in the thing that article notifications are a thing but it is not registering with unified push and it is not manually checking every x minutes for notifications so I don't see how it has them.

So far as I am able to tell, this app does not give me any kind of push notifications at all, even though it's supposed to. So I might have to ditch it for now.

So far, I like what I see. It's a small application, but I'm trying to figure out how push notifications work. Since I do not have Google Play Services and how often it will check for new feed updates

I am a feeder user though i would be up for playing with it

That's true. It can also be done in Europe and Canada. So you at least have to combine those together. So you're probably looking at maybe 10%.

I don't know that much about Zcash but apparently not because they have a shielded and an unshielded pool. So it would appear that some transactions are public while others can be private. And that's still not okay.

This was literally my first time ever using it. As I said, it's a great tool. I'm not criticizing the work at all.

Yes, but since their chain has transparent and private transactions, then somebody knows you did a private transaction, which is still a problem. It becomes a, why didn't you use a public transaction? What did you buy with that private transaction? Why did you need that private transaction? Why couldn't it have been a public transaction?

With Monero, since all transactions are private at all times, there's no need to ask that.

I absolutely hate that color and seeing it just makes me want to vomit.

I know what it means. It's still a terrible name.

I have no idea what the specs of my first computer was, but I know that it was running Windows 98 and was one of those old beige boxes that looks terrible, but that was like the only color for computers back then for whatever the hell reason was that God awful beige tan shit. That would have been in about 2003 and my school was running computers with Windows XP at the time.

I got my first cell phone in 2006 or 2007 and it was a Sony Ericsson flip phone on AT&T and it was this black and white flip phone. At about that same time, I also got my very first laptop, and it was running Windows Vista, I think, and we still had dial-up, because nothing more modern had come to our little country home. So I had to use 19 KB/s dial-up until 2010.

I got my first smartphone in 2011 and it was an iPhone 3GS because it was either free or $99 on contract. I remember being in a 100,000 population city and listening to Pandora with edge cell data and having an entire monthly allotment of like a gigabyte or maybe two. I also remember the rollout of 3G because I started seeing that in the city of 100,000 people and only had 2G in my hometown and then finally one day saw 3G was beginning to roll out in my hometown.

If it did work that way, it might be all right. But you're forgetting that the banks only have a like 5% reserve requirement. So for every thousand dollars they get in the bank from an account, they can lend out 950 more. And they can do this again and again until it hits zero, which is about 9 times. So you end up turning $1,000 into About 9,000.

Actually, the reason for the inflation was the beer bug back in 2020. And the money printing that went on in very many places. Then on top of that, you had the supply shock from people not working. And that just made it worse.

Primarily because if you continue issuing mortgages at the same rate, then people who get those mortgages will be paying you money that is worth less and less over time. Your mortgage payment might be a thousand pounds per month now and would stay that way for 30 years but in even five years 1,000 pounds will only buy the mortgage company what say 950 pounds would buy today

Besides the power which crypto helps with because it absorbs stranded power or gives a customer for steady income to a power company that can help build more infrastructure. What else is a problem with crypto?

Exactly. Those are the only two ways of ensuring privacy.

Makes me glad I use Monero because nobody besides me and the recipient has access to that transaction.

Btw, gunna shill my community since its related. !t_mobile@lemmy.ml

I swear, in general, open source software is absolutely fantastic. But open source developers have no concept of naming things in general and or user design in general. They make great software, but choose absolutely horrid names and or user interfaces.
