Delusional and grasping for attention.

That is a good point. Sponsors are the only way to make money on the decentralized networks.

Did someone tell Amazon that some of the staff they will let go will have access to AI as well and will turn around and start competing with them? Someone should as AI is not just for corporations. In fact it is and may continue to benefit individuals and small teams more.

Is the egg not income or does peer tube pay creators now?

This is even worse that the current system as it essentially means flat tax regardless of your income. This means a poor person is paying the same income tax through purchasing items at a store who will be on the hook for the taxes so naturally will pass on to you and at the same time a rich person will pay the same price and tax. Further since it is centralized all the same issues of corruption and exploitation exist even if the intent today is good.

What is decentralized?

Is Taler decentralized?

I don’t get it. Why not just have bunk beds and everyone gets to lay down like those sleeper busses in Asia. They get way more people on those busses than with just seats

Ahahaha. I very much missed that. :-).

Freckle Bitch’s in the video game Saints Row. It is a spoof on Wendy’s. Very inappropriate but that was the theme of the game.

STI you are correct. I realized this earlier when I was reading reading. I will fix.

I am unsure if that is completely true as my past experience in the lifestyle was that everyone was very on top of regular STI (think you meant this not SDI) testing and safe sex practices to protect all involved, whereas normal dating there is a lot less of that plus secret polycules you are not even aware you are in (cheating). Not seen a study on this but this was my observation at least.

For the meaning in life to is explore and play with my best friend…my wife. Even my career has switched to something that feels more like play than a grind for a corporation who enjoys the lion’s share of my labour.

Exactly what I am already doing. imagineering my top rated VR Theme Park and explore SE Asia and other parts of the world. Love both.

I guess for you that makes sense if interactions is your goal. For me it is both content and interactions and the former is really lacking because the community is still too small. I find many of the subreddits I view daily are ghost towns here or non existent. I would drop Reddit completely if there was just more content here. I will often come to Lemmy several times a day, and notice it still has all the same posts and then go back to Reddit. Sucks more are not jumping on the decentralized bandwagon.

That is a very good point and is something that needs to be sorted out. There is or at least was a video platform that paid crypto that I think had the right ideas, but was not well executed and frankly even if it was great, most crypto projects were scams.

I do suspect that as we make our way more into the AI and robotics era, that how we measure value will shift and suddenly decentralized platforms will generate some form of income of it will even be called that. Until then, you are right, there is little incentive for creators to move to a platform that makes them no money and people are ok with their privacy and data being shared so the status quo it is.

Same issue as Lemmy. Not enough people see centralized media as an issue and thus the status quo will continue.

Agreed. A lot of people who think Communism is the answer to Capitalism fail to recognize that both are just different sides of the same centralization coin. Sure the utopian vision of Communism is decentralized governance, but the minute there is one party with all the power, even with the intention of going full decentralization one day, never do. Why? Same reason as Capitalism…centralized power is a drug that humans cannot let go of. Communism is just what every capitalist wishes they had…complete control.

Ahahaha. Missed that detail, but it could be 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69…well maybe not 69+.
