GIVE IT BEARD

Speaking about guns, capitalism and currency were to give examples, and thus context. And if you can show me evidence that crypto has improved so many live in impoverished counties, maybe a crypto GDP study I would love to see it.

I speak of gas prices as I had mined bitcoin and monero and know for a fact that my GPU was 100%, my electricity bill went up. and the crypto miner I repaired PC components for would have a repaste job every few months.

like nobody is forcing the poor to drink dirty water or go without food..

Just because you feel like you missed out on a good investment and so you are bitter

you make a lot of assumptions. next you'll be calling me a basement dweller.

capitalism isn't evil, guns aren't evil, physical currencies aren't evil, they are instead an easily manipulated vehicle that intern can be used for evil. crypto has proven itself with the sheer amount of scams to be easily manipulated. i don't see crypto as complex, i have followed it since 2013 and have a good understanding of encryption and decentralized systems as well as economics.

the main reason i don't like or see use for crypto is that i am a socialist, crypto goes against core socialist economic values. it also pollutes as the oil cost is high, it promotes commercialization, its abusive to human psychology with fomo, it feeds into libertarianism.

There are plenty of ways to interpret Marx's writings, yours is certainly one of those ways.

"By force if 'necessary'" This part is an important distinction.

I saw the point you where trying to make, diminishing my knowledge in the matter due to your presumption of my privileges.

Then railroading off with how its good as poor countries are forced to invest in these schemes.

Do you know much of rune scape gold farming? Gold farming in rune scape was very profitable. Westerners would pay slave wages to poor countries to play and farm in run scape working 60 hours, this was eventually broken up which also didn't lead to a good outcome as a large community lost the financial structure they depended, essentially chewing up and spitting out the disadvantaged.

Similar instances have popped up since crypto where again it has created a work force built on shaky ground which doesn't just exploit but creates a dependency on something liable to fail.

So again no crypto will not fix third world problems as it allows for massive exploitation.

Please get fucked on assuming where i live and inturn my life style.

If capitalism died we wouldn't have first world countries feeding on third world countries. Crypto won't help with this issue, you will still have american companies drilling oil out of third world countries paying workers fuck all, sweat shops will still need to be somewhere too and the capitalist would prefer it away from they're first world country. If anything crypto will only shield the exploiters but at least the libertarian can be happy whilst getting fucked by daddy bazos.

Open source isn't a buzz word that brings people flocking over, its a definition of key features. Shit products can still exist in that space.

I dislike crypto for the grift but also that people had repackaged it as a form of DRM in NFT's, it became commercialisation in the extreme promoting materialism.

Also Cryptos relation to libertarianism makes it very off putting.

I had posted there and checked after seeing your post. Sad to see it go.

I was answering the last part of op's post... Asking if there is a place to ask question on Lemmy. It would of been redundant of me to suggest "no stupid question"

You could make a film community or look for an alternative film community hosted in Lemmy.

Ask Lemmy is for questions.

Lovely another way to penalise the poor

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

Karl Marx

I am not able to be professional in this, according to the top comment, I think. I will try still, in whatever ways I can, and maybe one day find a bridge to give me the space to explain my beliefs.

you are passionate about writing and expression so fuck if people fail to see it thats on them.

I used to have strong beliefs, but therapy showed me the scars that I carry into every decision I make as anxiety unknown. I know now, at least.

sorry this is what your going through, i am in a similar struggle with mental health, therapist says its cptsd from an awful childhood. i know its difficult but i am glad to see you can express yourself so well. i would like to go back to the original post and say while i have gone on to see value as meaningless previously i guess that was a simplified answer maybe even dishonest: value is inherent in all, but it is also unquantifiable you have value but you and i and everyone else are so nuanced and finicky that the human brain would be unable to conceptualize this type of value but thats not to say we have no worth, to me this conversation has been incredibly interesting and for that you have value and maybe like wise to yourself.

I hope I’ve proven your description of poetic wrong by now haha

i am sorry to say but nope, i will have to look out for your user name, not a poetic but i am an avid reader and love creative writing.

your very poetic in your writing, is this a profession?

value is like time or any other man made illusion, so while i did hit rock bottom it gave me time to think and read and live out an existential crisis and i am better for it.

Perceived value changes with age, as a teen I had value in how I looked, the clothes I wore and social circles I was in. Regretfully I also had value in that my value was more then others as they lacked looks, or expensive clothes, they're social circle was perceived less than mine. now I am older I perceived my value in the house I rented and the things I owned, the low paid job I worked, and again I had perceived to have more value as others had less.

Once my life hit rock bottom, parent figure died, cheated on for a year, lost a good job, it became apparent that value is a means to suppress.

gnome might be tricky to interface with over shell commands, and sadly i use sway so i am limited with advice, checking ubuntu forums would be a good start for you though.

indeed udev rules will monitor devices and on device change a action can be set, what desktop manager are you using? udev quick how to guide / a more in-depth
