I think a big part of the problem with NFT is that they are so abstract people don't understand what they can and cannot do. Effectively, with NFT, you have people that hold a copy of a Spiderman comic in hand and believe they own all forms of spiderman.
Essentially, when you boil it down, you can turn this into "it's provable that individual X has possession of NFT identifier x,y,z". It's kind of like how you can have the deed to a piece of property in your desk, but that doesn't prevent 15 people from squatting on it.
It's so abstract you can use it to fleece people. Even after 2 years of hype, people STILL do not understand them properly.
That's part of the problem with this administration. It's not that I disagree with their reasoning or their use of facts or figures. It's that they don't have any solid reasoning and facts and figures are misinterpreted or deliberately ignored. Even worse, they have taught their fans that if any facts aren't convenient, you can safely ignore them. Basically, the perfect recipe to make our country a joke.
What about the "marxist" Kamala Harris? We were told if she got in there'd be an immediate downturn. The cope is just to say either Biden goofed up so hard that's why we are down OR it would have been worse under a democrat. This administration and its supporters have lots and lots of excuses.

If it makes you feel any better, America doesn't care about their culture and only wants their natural resources and strategic location. Oh wait, that probably won't make you feel better.
This annoys the fuck out of me and I hope whoever is behind it doesn't realize their goals, because I don't want lemmy to degrade into a bunch of spam PMs.
Guys, everyone that read this, remember, Ted Cruz is his preferred name. His real name is Rafael. If you don't want to get in trouble, make sure to call him Rafael every chance you get.
Well, considering he was an inch or two away from already being in this category, I'd say higher than otherwise. You can also say that since this DID happen, he will have increased security making it less likely. So, I guess I'm not too sure.
They pushed em all right. It was too many different things in too short of a period. SEGA is now a shell of its former self, mostly chucking the name on things for some cash.
Thanks for the tip on the sample rate! I did not think to try that. I will try the GX core tonight and make sure the sample rate is set accordingly. Maybe it will finally change my mind about the Genesis' audio!
Now imagine trying to explain all this to the unwashed masses... it's no wonder the explanation they got was "buy this, it's going to the mooooon!!!!"
