Fractional-reserve banking. Most people have no idea what it is, probably a good thing. You could argue that it’s not a “secret”, but most people aren’t aware of it regardless. I don’t think most people would be fond of grinding for $15 an hour if they knew banks could just lend money they don’t actually have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking

The key word is “majority”. I think IPFS will gain more popularity moving forward especially if fascism and censorship continue to rise.

Yea I ran into the same thing about 2 months ago, haven’t even gone back to check it. https://lemmy.world/post/14769888

I’d just be grateful you found Lemmy. I suspect Reddit is mostly bot spam at this point hidden as real users. Sucks that so many old posts are now being gatekept, a pinnacle of the real enshittification that’s happening right now.

In our beautiful current year of 2024 the fucker is running again after being impeached twice, after losing in 2020, after becoming a convicted felon.

it has been discussed to death with no new arguments on either side

And alas, we continue to put more CO2 into the air and the planet keeps warming.

Amazing how you get downvoted with no reply even though your comment is the truth. People who claim to be environmentalists who are also against nuclear energy are seriously dumb.

Gaben’s last dying wish is to make every game work on Linux and donates $1 billion to making it happen.

Making people in society feel like they own nothing and are getting milked by those few who do own everything is a good way to see things break down, it’s happening real time, we’re watching it right now in the US.

I love America for being so strong to allow us to burn the American flag in public as protected free speech which many other countries do not allow. Not legal in Israel, Iran, Ukraine, China, or Russia. I’m grateful my country is green in this case.

This wouldn’t be a problem IF content creators were paid a fair share. I wouldn’t actually mind ads nearly as much knowing that the channels I enjoy watching were getting paid reasonably for every ad that I watched. Google has the technology to make it possible.

If they’re firing people for this then the way they judge employee productivity is incorrect. What I want to know is what did these employees even do day to day? Sounds like a whole bunch of bullshit job positions to me. Wells Fargo is a shit leech corporation, drain on society, middle-man hell.

You can’t play Helldivers 2 because of the anti cheat it has.

Wrong, entirely. I have played Helldivers 2 on Linux Mint using Proton Experimental compatibility through steam.

I thought I would never switch to Linux, and here we are.

Linux is great. It was initially concerning to migrate but overall I’m happy I did. I assume Microsoft will attempt to make things more incompatible and proprietary as a last chance attempt to hold onto users. Ultimate this will just lead to more people switching to Linux faster over time.

Russia has been conducting strikes for over a year inside of Ukraine. It’s only fair that Ukraine can conduct strikes inside of Russia. Putin has done more to strengthen NATO than any other country’s leader in decades.

When I used nicotine gum what I did was a started switching between the nicotine gum and regular gum. I eventually ran out of nicotine gum and just chewed regular gum for a while. I think the dependency and money is what pissed me off enough to stop, anger is always good motivation.

Solar, wind, nuclear, green hydrogen, hydro, geothermal.

Yes, but overall it would be net negative carbon dioxide emissions.

Yea that’s an example of greenwashing.
