Guilty. But substitute Mormonism with the proper way to do things.

Are you sure about that?

Nice. He recognized a good technology. You sound SO stupid.

Is this article (and the many sources I see confirming it) inaccurate then?

I’m happy to be wrong if you have any evidence to refute what I’ve written.

Ps. I’m talking about the kernel.

demesisx, to newcommunities in HailCorporate: Call Out Corporate Astroturfing on Lemmy
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I’m sure we will have false positives. Luckily, having your comment or post shared on hailcorporate doesn’t disqualify you from anything.

I’ll hopefully be able to recognize witch hunts for what they are. If this community isn’t for you, please exercise your right to ignore it. :)

demesisx, to linux in Energy Efficient X Compositors?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I use picom with XMonad and it’s pretty damned efficient.

I think I see NixOS in your future. ;)

demesisx, to linux in Easiest way to switch distros
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I wish you luck… but honestly, it sounds like a lot of painful steps to get the exact same thing that a solid config flake in NixOS would get you.

I use NixOS btw. ;)

Here’s some easy ways to spot fraud in a crypto project:

  • not open source
  • not decentralized
  • anonymous team (not always a sign of sketchiness)
  • the crypto is locked in someone else’s wallet (not your keys, not your crypto)
  • promises of ROI that are too good to be true (like TerraLunas 20% guaranteed return or the unsustainably high return promised by FTX)
  • not formally verified
  • an actual use-case rather than leveraging buzz-words to sell a utility token (looking at you IOTA and AGIX)
  • initial token allocation is all insiders (Ergo had one of the fairest launches in the whole space, for example so I’d be shocked to see that one be a pump and dump)

I didn’t predict the failure of FTX or TerraLuna but they also didn’t smell right to me because they ticked MANY of the warning boxes above. I’m fairly centered around Cardano ecosystem projects but even in that ecosystem there’s bound to be some fraud. I protect myself by sticking to my gut feeling and using that small checklist. I have yet to be defrauded and I’ve been investing the space since 2017. It’s not hard and I am not Nostradamus but thanks for the compliment.

This video only mentions ERC-20 tokens as NFT’s. Are you so ignorant that you don’t realize that Ethereum is not the only crypto currency project? Do you realize that many projects have entirely different tech stacks? Actually, if you wanted to, you could go through my history and find me criticizing Ethereum’s badly flawed accounts model at least 20 times.

I’m not wasting any more time trying to have an intellectually honest debate with a person that blindly writes off an entire class of technologies yet doesn’t even understand beginner level things about it.

demesisx, to asklemmy in How does one be a good mod?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Agreed. I mean, there’s nuance at play here.

demesisx, to movies in Why is everything a sequel, reboot or remake?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

What are these new things you write about? The studios haven’t greenlighted a “new thing” in 20 years.

demesisx, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why do you think so many people misuse asklemmy?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

As a moderator who did that and stopped, that’s not the case. What it actually was: we didn’t want to go back to Reddit ever again. So, we desperately tried to lift the quality posts and communities from stubborn holdouts to have that quality come with us.

IMO, it was a failure because people were so anti-bot. But that’s why I was taking part in moving everything over from there. I had no financial motives. I was just hoping to 100% boycott Reddit and was looking to draw their communities away from that utterly enshittified platform.

I failed but I haven’t been back to Reddit.

It’s funny when you pretend that each of those weren’t 100% coordinated by the DNC to prevent Bernie from winning a bunch of states and perhaps the presidency.

Agreed. That and I hate Docker with a burning passion.
