Evidence doesn’t suggest Digit is particularly tyrannical or a pedophile

She just has to get over it.

If everyone sits around fearing the authorities using force until the authorities use force, the authorities automatically use force on everyone and we are all dead or imprisoned before long.

The only way to function as an adult is to understand that they can’t get all of us without us helping them do it. We have to make using force as hard as sending men with guns and feeding us in a cage, not just saying scary stuff.

Nah, that’s all fundamentally wrong.

Paying artists for their work, especially when there’s not enough food for everyone, is capitalist bullshit that perpetuates and is perpetuated by letting rich people dominate society. Your post makes the problem worse by not expressing any loss of respect for artists who enrich themselves while others starve.

If Eminem read your reply, he’d probably take it as a sign his low income background makes it OK for him to be so famous we both know him, while other people are starving to death and other artists have zero audience - but you’re trying to twist it the other way around, like rocket launching him into capitalist mental illness is actually keeping things grounded or something.

That’s how you get a society where people like Eminem aren’t organizing to overthrow Trump, because instead of the situation being “I’m known and paid as an artist for the useful stuff I do in that position aside from art,” the situation is “anything useful I do aside from art will detract from my career as an artist so I should just shut up and be less political, at least less political than organizing a revolution.”

If someone doesn’t care enough about art to do it when it’s hard, their opinion isn’t more valuable than mine just because they’re poorer than me.

I have been homeless before and probably will again because I have a spine - people who waste their lives doing whatever corporations tell them, do not have more valuable opinions than me just because they have less money than me.

It would be more reasonable if no one paid artists for their work until there was enough food for everyone, and art had to come from people like me who can afford to do it regardless of how much money we have, because we’d rather face stuff like homelessness than waste our lives. That’s how you would get a society that isn’t culturally dominated by capitalist bullshit.

Then I’d be making money for the useful stuff I do instead of facing possible homelessness, Eminem would be making money for the useful stuff he does including making any political statements he wants instead of staying quiet to get paid for music, and Trump wouldn’t be a topic.

Edited this comment a lot. Made it too long. Removed one angry paragraph because all the paragraphs are too angry as it is. Sorry.

I don’t even get why pay artists for their work at times like this. Seems like that should be for times when there’s enough food for everyone.

Easy for me to say as someone with enough food to do art as a hobby, but still

Mullvad is already a honeypot

I’m not sure if this changes anything for ones like airvpn but if so we’ll just fight back with stuff like Tor, I guess

Or BitTorrent

I don’t remember the meme from anything to do with homestar runner, what I remember before doggie coin was pictures of dogs (mainly Shiba Inu) with horribly misspelled uplifting messages written in colorful comic sans

So again, that would be something like “dowg” or “doggeh” instead of “doggie”

Not “doj”

I never heard anyone read it as “doj” until about when Elon Musk started pushing that pronunciation, which was based on an old English word for a feudal lord or something, not how people automatically read that spelling

I feel like you’re just be wasting my time on purpose, why would anyone actually read it like that? You’re probably trolling

Weak gaslighting attempt

Misspelling doggie as doge doesn’t change the pronunciation to “doj”

There would either be no change at all or a change to something more like “dowg” because it’s understood that the word is still supposed to be based on “dog.” There’s no reason you’d lose the G sound from “dog” here

Learn how spelling and pronunciation work

And if you want to gaslight me, I’m generally just not very susceptible, but I at least take people more seriously on nostr because there are no bans there. Would make more sense to try there

The original meme does seem to be a misspelling of doggie, not a use of the old English term pronounced “doj”

I don’t see why anyone would call it “doj”

Dog-e-coin

I am serious

I stopped taking the creators opinions on doggie coin seriously when they started calling it doj coin

Btw, notice that the Monero community is way more active than Ethereum or doggie coin in decentralized platforms like piefed/Lemmy or nostr

The “dogecoin” spelling has been ruined by people calling it “doj coin”

And market cap isn’t relevant, nor is whoever “electric capital developer” is or whatever chat bots you’re calling “the most developers”

Bitcoin, doggie coin, and Monero are the only ones standing the test of time so far. Ethereum is “proof of stake” now

Incorrect again. You mentioned Ethereum which nobody cares about, you can’t call Monero “not major” after that. The only cryptocurrencies that matter are Bitcoin, doggie coin, and Monero

If market cap was relevant then crypto veterans like me would care about Ethereum

A small one would still be plenty of GPU

And the big ones could still need to liquidate old stuff when it starts using too much power compared to newer stuff, even if it still works (though someone in this thread claimed data centers burn through GPUs too fast)

Incorrect. Monero and others still use GPU based mining

I try not to call them GPUs, though it’s hard to avoid.

But I didn’t know they’re not even capable of rendering graphics at a deeper level than just not having a video output.

It sounds like you definitely know some stuff I don’t, but wouldn’t it be smart for these companies to bid a bit more if they could, to make these builds with more resellable parts instead of using these crazy server rack combo platters?

I still think it’s an economy controlled top down by the authorities that makes this “profitable,” and when you boil it down it’s just a fancy mathy story to distract from them making special stuff for themselves they don’t want to share with us

People years ago said the cards used for crypto mining took too much power and cooling for gamers, but later we got gaming cards that take pretty much the same power and cooling as some of them.

I hope you’re right and that doesn’t happen this time. It’s gone too far already.

You might also be right that they just see the “AI race” as more of a sprint than a marathon, so they don’t care if they can liquidate parts for money back later.
