Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn't work out which instance to use. Then they couldn't work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.
Perhaps I'm too tired to understand your meaning here (it's late), but blockchain isn't crypto currency. It's a distributed ledger, and was around long before crypto. It's not completely immutable either as the hard fork of Ethereum proved.
Blockchain could be used to record energy transactions, but the question is why would you want to? What benefit does it add?
Btw homeowners in parts of Australia are already receiving credits for the excess solar power they generate. There's no need to manufacture a new system to enable that functionality.
Once again, I'm tired. Perhaps I've misunderstood your reasoning.
I don't know. I think the way he's alienating people, sooner or later he's going to annoy the wrong person and end up finding himself falling out a window.
Just a thought. An observation, not a prediction or a threat.
I'm bridging my main Mastodon account with bluesky, but I'm fully expecting this service to disappear soon enough. I remember when Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other sites allowed crossposting until someone realised they were driving traffic away from their own site and shut it down. I think it was Facebook. I can't remember. Same is likely to happen here, or they'll charge an exorbitant fee for API access like Reddit. For now though, it kinda works.
Singapore has apartments above some of the MRT stations, which also usually have a mall attached. Presuming the noise dampening was sufficient, I'd move into one of those in a heartbeat. It'd make shopping and dining out much easier.
I use it for our family chat. It's okay. The biggest issue is sometimes messages are delayed (up to half-an-hour at times). Other than that, it's fine. It meets our needs.
The jobseeker program is just like the weight-loss industry. They do just enough to appear to be doing something, but not enough to actually fix the problem. If they did succeed, they'd be out of a job.
Also way harder to propagate mis/disinformation to push an agenda. I personally see that as a benefit and not something I want to see changed.
