I understand your concerns and I have as little confidence in the concept of crypto as it currently exists as you’re expressing.
I had no intention to peg a user’s CPU, but if we extend the concept of CPU cycles for content, perhaps a browser could process some data or make calculations, like say data analytics, or some other distributed process that would benefit the author and in doing so would allow both to have a win-win experience.
Wasn’t that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?
Can you elaborate why you think that your comment requires a sarcasm tag?
I’m asking because getting the reader to contribute some CPU cycles whilst they read your content seems to be a way to balance the books, they get something from you, you get something from them.
Note that I’m not a fan of Bitcoin et. al., but the idea of making the reader’s computer calculate something or process something on the authors’ behalf seems, at least at first glance, a valid and potentially unobtrusive transaction.
I have some success by using the “Hide Read Posts”, but it’s pretty flakey.
Noted on both, though I wasn’t aware that I was asking for ICT support, rather I was attempting to discover if the problem I was seeing was unique to me or experienced by others, which turns out to be the case.
I’d rather not delete this thread, but if the mods feel that it’s in breach of the rules, I’ll abide by their ruling.
As a creator, I’d be much more interested in a way to get paid into my actual bank account in such a way that didn’t involve Bitcoin (et. al.), PayPal or Stripe.
It works as it’s currently implemented.
That said, I’d like it to comply with my preference for Dark Mode without me having to install a browser extension to forcefully recolour the interface.
Not really. Sometimes I even get to the end of the feed :)
When I relaunched 20 minutes ago, it took about three screen fulls to find some already seen posts, then a whole lot of new, then more old ones from nine or so hours ago when I checked at lunchtime.
I understand. That’s not what I’m seeing, it’s the same (sequence) of posts.
But I’ve seen those posts before, so I’m not sure how I could have seen them if they hadn’t been pushed to my instance already.
Also, only one Lemmy account, so no potentially spurious side effects from switching between accounts.
Sort is set to set to All:New
Which is also weird. I just saw several one of those posts, 8 hours old in the middle of the feed.
I can still remember the immensely satisfying keyboard clunk when typing great swaths of text in MacWrite.
If that was true I’d see the odd duplicate post, not a string of them. Voyager also shows crosposts like a post within a post, and I’m not seeing that.
So … not made from potato then?
Tah. I’ll have a look see.
Not sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.
What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).
I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.
In my adventures I did look at this, but it appears to require that you install support for this inside the guest, which is possible for modern guests, but not for ancient ones like say Debian Wheezy or Win98se.
While I share some, if not most, of your disinterest, it’s probably worth pointing out that while “we” had a Saturn V rocket system and Apollo space program that did, at least superficially the same as Artemis so far, we could not actually repeat a Saturn V launch today, as-in we lost many of those skills and associated experience.
In many ways, Artemis is essentially getting back to where we left off in 1973 with the intention of eclipsing it, but the ongoing NASA budget cuts being perpetrated by the current regime are in my opinion going to curtail the program before too long.
If I recall correctly, after Apollo 11, the TV audiences dwindled for the rest of the program, with a brief spike for Apollo 13, so perhaps there’s an aspect of that to consider.
For me the disappointment was triggered by the poor camera handling during launch, the view of backpacks, food and plushies surrounding CAPCOM at Mission Control, the broken toilet debacle and the heat shield obfuscation, all of which made this less leading edge science and more of a shitshow.
I hope the astronauts land safety in a couple of hours, but I won’t be watching for days like I did for the first Shuttle launch in 1981.
The impact to society from space exploration is immense if not immeasurable.
NASA has a website dedicated to the topic, as do other agencies around the world.
There’s also a Wikipedia page on the topic:
It’s not too late.
