Do they have windows in the basements trolls hang out in?

Be fair. He's not the only one.

Far too volatile for commerce.

That's one half of the problem. The other half is that you have a choice between taking forever to get a transaction completed (Bitcoin can do about 10 transactions per second ... WORLDWIDE!) or paying really horrifically high "gas" fees (Ethereum).

The third half (I flunked fractions: sue me!) is that 99.44% of the crypto world is just scams: open Ponzi schemes or concealed ones.

Good. Don't need neocapitalists tainting actual openness.

...

Really?

You're having problems finding Anarchists on Mastodon?

😲

HarmonyOS.

You missed furries.

False dichotomy.

There's also blocking and/or muting.

I've used Linux exclusively on my personal machines since 2004. I still loathe it. I just loathe it marginally less than I loathe Windows.

I'm intrigued at this notion that ChromeOS is Linux turned against the user but Android isn't...

I switched to full-time, permanent Linux use in 2004. I didn't even have a one-year period where I felt the need to proselytize it like a vegan.

This is the kind of response that causes quips like that "Linux users are the vegans of tech" response above.

Try being less strident and off-putting and perhaps you might even get more Linux users.

Consider this stolen!

Tbf, it is mostly tech nerds, all of whom enjoy linux and talking about it,

Tech nerd: yes. Enjoys Linux: no. Enjoys talking about Linux: not really.

That's one in three.

Weird. Most of my feed is filled with embedded systems stuff, left-leaning politics, and a few jokes. There's Linux stuff here and there, naturally, because of the overlap with embedded, but it's hardly dominating.

Perhaps you need to learn how to curate your feed? Try subscribing to hashtags and to people talking about the things you want to talk about. And there's also the possibility you're on an instance that is more Linux-focused and thus getting that artificially increased; changing your instance to something you're actually interested in will likely help. For example if you like tabletop games, dice.camp is an instance where a LOT of tabletop game designers and players hang out.

Meh. If I'm going to put fruit on my pizza it's going to be durian, not strawberries.

I only went twice in 2016. Both times were so lousy I decided I'd not bother anymore. Which is too bad. I used to really enjoy Tim Horton's. 😬

In 2001, when I left Canada, I had fond memories of Tim Horton's donuts and other confections. In 2016 when I went back for some paperwork and stayed a month I was absolutely shocked at just how crap Tim Horton's donuts had become: stale, lifeless, and oversugared/underflavoured. (I'd never liked the coffee so I didn't try it.)

Something big was lost in that decade and a half.

Fucking capitalists.

Isn't true for this Canadian. Tim Horton's coffee at its best was ... generic fast food chain coffee. Then it took a downward turn.

I think we're looking at something called "marketing" and "advertising" here.
