I would add for crypto (as for the stock market): I am happy for you and the gain that allows you to be more financially serene (which should not be obtained with the effort of a monetary investment: financial security should be guaranteed to everyone regardless of economic conditions or the ability / luck to invest money);

however the problem with crypto is that they do not invent anything new from a macroeconomic perspective, it is only the stock market that has found a new way to scam people, that is:

• we will call scam any increase in value of anything done to the detriment of another person: the world system is a zero-sum system

• we will call scam something that given its fictitious nature < such as crypto, stocks, government bonds> has no or very little correlation with the real economy but has the purpose of convincing investors to lend money.

• we will call scam anything that is created with the sole purpose of earning money through the investment of money (therefore considering the economy as a sort of meta-economy), a game that holds up as long as people believe in it, differently from industrial capitalism, the IT one makes it even easier to produce fake wealth: create ever new and less innovative consumer goods (apps, devices, operating systems, etc...) closed in a walled garden and thanks to "capitalism as a service", sell everything via subscription.

• we will call scam any product, physical or not, that requires for its production an amount of resources that is not realistic for the capacities of the planet and is therefore not, in fact, sustainable in the long term

The same argument you made against crypto can also be made for USD: it only holds value cause people say it does. I rather go with a currency that isn't subject to inflation. Furthermore, if you don't like the energy usage, then don't buy a Proof of Work coin. Buy a Proof of Stake coin instead, like ETH, and rest easy knowing that you're not harming the environment.

But hey, if you want to be poor for the rest of your life, that's on you. I choose to break free from USD so that I actually have a chance at a future.

HDR has been around for over a decade now. Linux devs are just lazy. It is in fact, a critical piece of tech once you get used to it. Like I said, from going from B&W to a color TV. HDR monitors are not expensive. Even the cheapest Walmart brands have HDR now.

Most of the comments about HDR on Linux is

• "Yeah, that's a weakness of Linux"
• "Yes, it's being worked upon. Hope it comes soon"
• "Some distro X has partial support for it"

I've never seen anyone become mad, both on reddit and Lemmy
