I am a technical and strategic founder developer experienced in web3, software engineering and building startups over the past 10 years.
I operate at the senior software engineer to CTO level, and am able to develop a company’s “zero to one” product.
Perhaps subscribe to communities that aren’t for porn!
I think the problem with your suggestion is that NSFW-ness more of a spectrum.
Meanwhile both are SFW if you’re in your pyjamas and working from home.
Yeah I mostly jumped headfirst into Affinity because it wasn’t subscription based!
So sad the Affinity suite isn’t on Linux
I’m talking about Loopring itself
This is a great point.
I’ve recovered from my Bitcoin maxi days, so I hope things move forward in the industry (namely, the normies learning about ETH)
Ah that would be make sense, but most people wouldn’t see the point in running a node. People automatically think of “mining” or “validator”
I tried to like Loopring, but their L2s were hardcoded circuits rather than zkEVM which the Polygon and Matterlabs team (and Starkware to a lesser extent) are pushing ahead with this year. Allowing the community of third party developers to contribute value (sound familiar Reddit?) is going to make the whole L2 space to gangbusters.
As it stands now you can’t do much with Loopring except what the first party devs have built, which is basically a standard excahnge.
DeFi has added some real value for both project creators and users, not just for myself. I’m not talking about the ‘money making, profit driven’ side of value either, but utility, capital efficiency, flexibility, new financial primitives as well.
All sorts of crazy innovation that you shouldn’t just hand-wave away as a scam or redundant.
I guess it depends on your time-frame and your risk profile. BTC/ETH over the medium term has done much better than pretty much any other asset in the world. Altcoins didn’t even factor into my brain when I made that comment.
Mastodon should just leave us alone!
A lot of controversial comments. Here are some of my observations:
I mean, most Lemmings (lol) hang out in Beehaw anyway, so centralised fediverse is already here
The L2 experience is quite poor at the moment, which is more an indicator of how bright the future is
Not recommended though, RPIs aren’t really suited for production, plus I think only Nimbus runs well on RPIs/
It was kinda shocking how negative public sentiment is. I am deep in crypto world so I am used to much more positive feedback on the stuff I am working on, because I guess I mostly hang out with crypto people
Gambling except the expected value is higher than 0
I think it would be more like reddit if there was a single super Lemmy instance, the extra layer of self hosting confuses everyone
That’s lame. I just run my own instance. I’m based in Perth and the server itself is in Sydney, so nice and fast.
Related note, pictrs is super cool. Its like an OSS imgur backend, but no one really talks much about it or its potential.
I’m ashamed to say I’m still using Reddit
