Thank you! It’s going to be hard to change my mind on that one, but I’ll give it a go 😊👍

Thank you for the clarification! I’ve clearly misunderstood the function of the crypto and/or read a poor description of Nostr 👌

In this case, the crypto (in itself still an unpalatable, energy wasting pyramid scheme, IMO) makes a lot more sense, and doesn’t detract from the platform (other than facilitating the platform’s tacit promotion of crypto).

I tried reading up on Nostr the other day, and came away finding it unpalatable, mainly because my understanding was that upvotes are tied to crypto.

The way I read it, you need some sort of crypto currency to pay for upvoting a post, from which I inferred that the only reasonable gauge for a posts popularity (upvotes) was intrinsically tied to money (and crypto-money, at that).

Is this a reasonable assessment, or did I misunderstand something?

EDIT: I was wrong, and stand corrected 👍

Maybe have a look at this comment elsewhere in the thread.

There’s so much waste everywhere, let alone in tech. Being able to both “recycle” old hardware, and find legitimate use for it, should be celebrated.

Now if only I knew what to do about my old phones … I’m pretty good at making them last, so my older ones are very old, and I can’t think of anything useful for them to do that whatever phone I currently have doesn’t do much better 🤔

Google EOL’d my beloved Asus C302 Chromebook, and now it runs Fedora with KDE. I’m super happy with it ❤️

Now tentatively working on turning my 2009 Mac Mini into a Fedora server/homelab.

So far it’s running Fedora desktop/KDE, and I’m slowly trying to figure out how to get Docker to work so I can run stuff like Audiobookshelf. If I manage to get it working, I’ll try going full Fedora Server instead of the desktop version.

I know exactly what you mean. No defence need my friend, but maybe some lotion 😊💦 #staysafe

Wonderful! I wish you both a happy relationship! Sounds like you’ve got your work cut out for you 😊👌

What’s inside a 2.4TB torrent? 🤔

Thank you, that’s what I was afraid of 😕 I’ll going to give NewPipe a try, as suggested in another comment 👌

Thank you! If there’s an alternative I’ll try it out, I’m not married to ReVanced - just didn’t know there were alternatives 😃

They said it couldn’t be done!
