tor is crazy, like you cant use half the internet with it - how do you sign into stuff while remaining anonymus? its good for hiding browsing history from the world, but other than that i don think its the best. iIuse librewolf and it seems to work well, i might switch in the future to something else but im fine with this.

use librewolf if you want privacy. idk much abt brave but i do know that their ceo is super homophobic, and ive heard that brave sometimes changes the referral links you select to make them money

I think in some cases DAOs kinda make sense to be legal entities (in some contexts), like a public company is somewhat controlled by its investors, and if you want to create some sort of crypto-related product - im thinking of something like polymarket or opensea here - you could get investment by auctioning off special voting tokens for the DAO that controls it (so if the majority of token holders wanted to, they could for example, change the background of the site, or introduce a new feature). I imagine getting legal recognition of such a company would make this a ton easier.

Of course, replacing/creating governments with this sorta thing would be insane, but on a lower level, like for companies, it doesn’t seem that bad

get linux if you haven’t already

if you don’t know how, ask, Lemmy is covered in Linux users

quantum computing once they break meaningful encryption, not 2 bit RSA. it’ll be super overhyped, become super important, and then it’ll settle down a bit once everyone switches to new encryption algorithms

they should put that in clothing, there’s probably tons of medical uses for this

just bc youve had a bad day doesn’t mean you need to spread that to everyone

because they want ads that serve them things they want I imagine. EDIT: if ur downvoting me, say why. some people will see this as a feature

some people will see this as a feature to be desired, not a bug

The news thrives on things that get the readers attention, and right now people are paying attention to bad things.

And this yet another reason why we should be using cryptocurencies that provide actual privacy, like anyone could go right now and see every drug transaction on silk road, or any hacker getting their Bitcoin confiscated, or any transaction ever, except for those done through monero and some with zcash.

Btw where’d you hear abt this? or did you just come up with it?

from rain clouds?

And that lacks competition, so no wonder that it sucks

I mean an AI CEO doesn’t wanna buy a $500 million boat to show off, it would just keep the money in the company and reinvest it somewhere.

Those exist but then that’s not competition anymore, its a cartel. If those were abolished it would be better.

once they have a monopoly what if the government broke up monopolies, and promoted competition? then you wouldn’t have the large price increase you described afterwards. ofc competition alone cant fix the environmental issues you described, thats probably best solved by some government body, like if they taxed new plastic being produced so companies would be incentivized to recycle what they could. also thx for actually writing a longer reply

So why don’t you start a bottled water company that’ll make it better? If there’s an opening in the market for something like that, it’ll be filled by people wanting to make money

Competition that is meaningful. Like if you produce bottled water, and you lower the quality of it (like, idk maybe theres stuff floating inside) so its cheaper to make, people will notice and switch to an alternative. And when the alternative tries something similar, they’ll switch back to you. Regulation can also help with this but at the same time it increases the barrier to entry for new players, lowering competition. I think.

unless theres meaningful competition

They’ve been struggling a lot recently, but this stuff with the tarrifs cantve made it any easier for them.
