I think I may have left this disc about 700 miles away. I may have to hit the high seas to play it again.

Jerboa alternatives?

LifeInMultipleChoice @lemmy.world 7d ago

I still use jerboa quite often but have been considering moving. It worked well for a couple years but the last month or two there are stupid things like, not being able to scroll back up through the comments where it'll get stuck, or if I collapse a comment, and try to reopen it the content is blank so I have to exit the comment section and reopen to be able to the top of the comment section and start over. If it is a long comment thread you then have to scroll slow because if you miss the comment you collapsed by accident you can't scroll back up to find it because the first problem. At that point I just give up on that and move on.

I made a post about it in the jerboa thread a month ago, it appears to be happening to more than just me, and across multiple devices, even someone on graphene said it was happening to them.

[PlayStation] [DRM] Licenses now requires an online check-in every 30 days.

LifeInMultipleChoice @lemmy.world 7d ago

The claims in this post say it effects games moving forward, no games bought previously. And that the game isn't uninstalled or anything of the sort, it means if you haven't connected to the Internet in 30 days you would have to connect to open the game. (Not sure what the reasoning would be, maybe they are trying to ensure people do updates, not sure). Someone else claimed above that it is fake all together, but I haven't verified it.

The real issue here for most people to me would be if a game is eventually removed from their network and whether or not they remove the check in requirement if the digital game is removed. (Aka would the game be lost forever because Sony stopped hosting it, even if you had a copy on an external drive).

'He’s got to pay': Chaos as Republican caught pantless in town hall refuses to resign

Jump

LifeInMultipleChoice @lemmy.world 1w ago

Your view is that him getting shit faced drunk and all damages and injuries that occur should be covered by the public. We aren't his servants. If you want to do whatever you want, dont do it on the property where we will held liable. Also I agree it shouldn't matter who you fuck, but if it's a journalist/reporter, all subject matter pertaining to your position is now null and void. It's like fucking the health inspector, someone else needs to be doing the inspection then.

Yeah my first thought was that those aren't memes, they are the "guidance" I guess. The words are the message, the background sets the tone. Bad luck Brian isn't the meme, he's what sets the stage that lets you know the tone for the hook.

If someone says: "Toenail needs cutting

Youd be like okay that's excessive .. but you put chaos wolf behind it and your like, I shouldve expected that

I'm sure also people see it as paying money to help organize benefits for their area, and then when they asked what happened with their money they see dude getting shit faced drunk without pants on and using the excuse he vomited on himself off their money, in the building they paid to build... They think resigning is the respectable thing to do. Government jobs are supposed to be civil servants, not night clubs.

Believe it's the point of the post. Voting for someone who supports pulling money from the impoverished and giving it to the ultra-rich.... While being impoverished.

The fact that 90% of the population isn't voting against corporate Democrats and Republicans who support the current taxation and distribution of wealth that supports just 10% of the population to thrive and the rest to struggle is terrible. But they spend millions on advertising and billions on other media venues to push the agenda to protect the status quo.

You are regurgitatating what the government wanted you to say without even reading what I said. I don't want it to be crypto. I want it to not be owned by local governments. You've been taught to say all of that, and none of it is required. If a currency is accepted by people because they know they can use it, a local government has no say. If 340 million Americans started accepting penguin print as currency tomorrow, the government would try to ban it, call it only used for buying drugs, not actually backed by anything, doesn't really exist, and everything you have heard about crypto... Because it takes power away from the government. But in reality they couldn't do anything but accept that penguin print is a currency, because you can trade it for goods and services. And if 200 nations across the world do it... Then if a local government fails, the amount a chicken costs on penguin print, doesn't fluctuate much

The energy used has near nothing to do with value of the coin in the post. Bitcoin and Etherium are completely different in this manner.

That said, Etherium shouldn't be taken up globally as a universal currency as it came from dirty roots like most currencys do. We need a pure untainted currency created that goes global

Id rather it be global and not local government controlled. The consumer protection is immediate. The only way the consumer value drops of the value drops for the entire world, in which a chicken cost the same as a chicken did yesterday, because the trade for a chicken is the same to the universal value of a chicken at that location yesterday

Etherium is in question in the post, so never even close. I'm sure people have lost money, but if you bought at the absolute height and sold at the absolute low after it, you maybe could have lost half once. That's max loss unless you bought every up and sold on every down. In 5 years you'd be down 16%. 1 year you'd be up 31%. It's volatile but not as much as people make it out to be.

The government and media have always had reason to put people against it and say it's only used for drugs. Kind of like those fish men we bombed in boats without trial.

It doesn't matter if it is fiat or not necessarily. But if I told you your money was going to be worth half tomorrow, then half again the next every day for the next 16 weeks... You would think shit... Maybe there is a better way to do this. That has happened to millions of people across several countries. They didn't wake up one day and choose it, but poof gone. Your entire life turned to nothing because we are using currency that isn't based on anything but a government that can collapse. Universal currencys not run by local governments could help prevent such.

The thing is, large countries that don't have these problems currently, are the ones with power to change that.. and would never vote to change it, because it could help poorer countries create stability and grow over time, which makes them not so much less than the big countries who want to be able to take advantage of those countries when they wish for their advantage.

Didn't the UAE say like yesterday they were going to start trading petrol in Yuan if they run out of dollars. People will accept whatever they feel is safe and available. Crypto isn't safe, so it won't be used

Oh yeah it's a huge stretch. I just mean that the revolution tied to etherium was chopping out the massive environmental impacts compared to Bitcoin.

Otherwise I look at it as the U.S. government owns the dollar, and it's value is directly tied to what they say it is. If the U.S. government decided to double the amount of dollars in the world tomorrow and use the money in the way they want, everyone who owns said money just saw it's value half, and only if they were on the in and in of who the federal government cared about would you possibly benefit or even make even.

"I bought a bond for $100,000 with guaranteed 4.34% interest over 10 years"

Then the government prints as much as it wants or makes decisions that could devalue the currency to its own benefit. Currency value drops by 10%, they pay you out 4.34% interest... And you lost money. Why, because the U.S. dollar lost money and much of the world hedges their bets on the U.S. staying normal.... Which the U.S. Doesn't look very normal right now.

Hell if I became president and had support in Congress I would "print" 20 trillion dollars virtual of course put it in an account and build housing for everyone in the U.S. that doesn't have it using 250k homes rotating them out every 30 years off the interest and money from that false account. It would put a shit ton of people to work, it would renovate all old homes deemed good enough to sustain people for the next 30 years and end homelessness while creating jobs or housing in areas which allows companies to expand to areas we otherwise weren't using. Solar powe, fiber, whatever can be set up all around..

Everyone else's money drops in value, but all housing and rent costs just disappeared. Jobs are abundant and stress would drop for a lot of America. The debts we owe are in U.S. dollars, everyone now owes less, a crazy stupid slate to shake things up.

Every other country/person that owned U.S. dollars, well they are just out of luck.. they just lost a lot of value.

Point is, who knows what kind of crazy shit people could do in government. If it collapsed in 1 country, not everyone who lives there should suffer because their only money is held together by that government. A universal currency is safer in that mindset.

I get why people say cryptocurrencys are a scam, but the whole proof of stake shit makes lot more sense if someone were trying to protect all of society from say mass inflation in places like Venezuela or something.

The revolutionary w.e he was talking about had to be proof of stake, making it use 99.9% less power than things like Bitcoin.

The alternative choice was always the same, control by the U.S. or China. Really not many other options.

If people cared about the environment they wouldn't use Bitcoin, if they cared about people, they wouldnt use the U.S. dollar and such. Every country in the world supports the U.S in doing so...

We need better alternatives, etherium may not be it.. but surely there has to be a better way to keep people from suddenly plunging into poverty when they don't have control of their government.
