Drag got banned from blahaj and decided to take a step back from Lemmy

They should have used the destruction of temples in Kyiv

Drag doesn’t believe in money. What’s capital gonna do about that?

The rate at which new bitcoins enter the economy is controlled. When the processing power of the mining network increases, the difficulty of the mining problem is artificially increased to keep the rate of minting the same. They throw out perfectly good solutions to the problem of creating the next link in the blockchain, to control inflation of bitcoin value.

You’ll also notice the difficulty level for this block. The Bitcoin network aims to produce one block every 10 minutes or so. The system is designed to evaluate and adjust the mining difficulty every 2,016 blocks or roughly every two weeks (based on the number of participants). This doesn’t always result in a block time of 10 minutes, but it’s close.

The mining difficulty number represents 2,016 divided by the average time it took to mine one block in the last period, multiplied by the old difficulty level, or:
= Old difficulty x ( 2,016 ÷ average time to mine in the last period )
The lowest difficulty level is 1.0. The higher the number, the more difficult the solution is to find. The difficulty level on Dec. 5, 2024 (measured on December 1) was 102.89 trillion. You might see this published as 102.89T.

They are spending 100 trillion times as many processor cycles on bitcoin mining as is actually required to maintain the network. Every bitcoin transaction could be done at 100 trillionth the current energy cost. The only problem is, it would devalue bitcoins and crash the market like a Venezuelan dollar. So Bitcoin is designed to intentionally flush the energy output of a small country down the toilet to keep itself valuable.

Nah, it’s intentionally energy wasteful in order to control inflation.

Well they made it so you only need one copy of the game to play online with a friend, so it seems their money is where their mouth is.

Yeah, that’s the plot of Batman.

In Israel there is a lot of economic inequality between Semitic Jews and white Jews (Ashkenazim). The semitic Jews are called Mizrahim by Israel, it’s a political term that didn’t exist before the Nakba.

There were Jews in Palestine before the invasion, and they have not been treated as equals to the coloniser Jews. Jew Vs Arab is not the full story of Israel’s racism. Israel is fundamentally antisemitic, whether the semites in question are Jews or Muslims.

Drag thought Brother were supposed to be the makers of user friendly printers. Are they enshittifying?

Do you think that risking your life to kill fascists isn’t suicide?

Linux is great

What kind of Nazi sympathist uses Twitter in 2024?

No, you don’t understand. By not having a lifeguard, the beach is supporting sharks. We need to choose the evil lifeguard beach to persuade the other beach to get a good lifeguard. If they see how much we prefer evil lifeguard, surely they’ll get the message that we actually want good lifeguard

That’s morbid

.world has come under a lot of fire for being centrist and having anti-violence policies. 196 actually moved from blahaj to world, and most of the users said they wouldn’t be going with it, because they don’t agree with the aforementioned policies.

This is great. Dull men’s club is a great community and it doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with the rest of .world.

Drag is willing to watch one minute if you provide a timestamp, and 0 minutes if you don’t. It’s your decision.

That’s not a proper citation. The video is 47 minutes long. Provide a timestamp or a quote.
