The point of blockchains is decentralization, and as Lemmy users we know that decentralized services are difficult to make popular, even if they’re an improvement over their competitors.

There are now Bitcoin Ordinals, which are similar to NFTs but with a sufficient size limit to actually store the media itself.

Literally everyone relates to this.

If you believe something as common as this is sufficient to diagnose a mental disorder, you might’ve been misdiagnosed (or your diagnosis was explained insufficiently).

The linux kernel unfortunately does not follow unix philosophy.

It would be better in various ways if the linux kernel used a micro kernel architecture following the unix philosophy, something Torwalds acknowledged in the past.

Philosophical ideas being lost does not mean they’re outdated.

None of them have to.

If you are trying to imply that potatoes and vegan meat aren’t awesome food you are factually wrong.

And that is bad?

Your Nana when she was young:

I don’t know what your definition of “chasing” is, but whatever it may be it seems to be independent of the group that’s being “chased”.

So in that case you could say “chasing” is bad while a preference is not, completely regardless of whether you’re talking about trans people, disabled people or any other group.

Why would one preference be less valid than another?

Perfectly fine to be into disabled trans people imo.

In Germany the liberal institutions decide who can and cannot run, and they have decided the commies are out

Back in 1946, it was decided that antidemocratic parties shouldn’t be part of a democracy. Hence antidemocratic parties are illegal.

That’s it. You are very much allowed to abolish private property if you wish to do so. You’ll just have to do it in a democratic manner.

And it just so happens that abolishing private property is very much not a popular idea.

(No, the current German government can not decide who can run in elections.)

Do you see instances who’s main purpose is to represent “people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right” that are even nearly as popular as Hexbear?

If you’re browsing all you frequently see posts from Hexbear users. I’m yet to come across a noticable amount of posts from users from an instance which represent the group you mentioned.

(I couldn’t even name a single instance that fits that description, because if they exist, they’re not nearly as active as Hexbear.)

Toxic people exist on all public instances. But on some they’re more common than on others.

The issue with Hexbear is that their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner. About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities. Their political views are less of an issue; it’s more about their toxic behaviour.

What is “enough”?

In many countries, your basic needs are already fully met no matter which job you do.

E.g. in Germany working minimum wage full time gets you way more money than you need.

Minimum wage full time gets you about 2160€ before tax, which will be about 1650€ after tax (and healthcare etc.).

You can easily pay for your basic needs for less than half of that (even when living alone). The rest you can use to buy upgrades, like a new phone etc.

Minimum wage workers in Germany are already wealthy.

But of course, if you’d ask the average German minimum wage worker, they’d claim to be poor.

They claim to be poor because they can not afford modern luxury. They can not afford to pay for expensive brands, they can not afford to eat in expensive restaurants.

They can not afford to be lavish.

Now imagine if every person in Germany could afford twice as much (something that happens multiple times in a lifetime). Would they stop considering themselves poor? No, their entitlement would simply rise accordingly (as we’ve seen again and again throughout the thousands of years of history).

You can not pay people “enough”. People do not care about their individual wealth. They only care about how wealthy they are compared to others.

The majority of people can never be wealthy, because people only consider themselves wealthy if they have someone (or rather many) to look down upon.

You don’t want to collect trash off the streets? Well, looks like our city will look like shit forever. You don’t want to work as a cashier? Well, looks like our supermarkets will remain closed.

Most jobs are not fulfilling and would never be done voluntarily (at a relevant scale).

Every category of carbon emissions is just a part of the total carbon emissions.

I recently (two months ago) had to work with an Excel sheet which worked on OnlyOffice but not LibreOffice. So compatibility seems to still not be on par.

behavior and culture are founded in material conditions and environment

What is that even supposed to mean? Like yes, people have always existend in an environment centered around material resources. Food being a material resource, for example.

But you don’t want to think about any of the realities.

I assume that by “any of the realities” you mean “other perspectives” or “other ideologies” here.

I do want to think about other perspectives and ideologies.

But I also allow myself to criticize them.

I especially allow myself to criticize people who try to prevent others from telling their perspectives, for example by calling them a misanthrope in a demeaning manner.

Change = Marxism
