If you can learn new rules from a single mistake and stick to them, you'll be ahead of many, so don't feel bad.

Ahead of me lately for sure, I've had a string of committing the same mistakes repeatedly. It can be an easy thing to do when the fomo hits.

I'm just using lemmy.world's default website UI and it seems alright, haven't had any trouble with it from the apps I've tried either.

Really? If it does and the other remaining apps do too they're going to lose even more people. Only reason I've still been popping in is because of relay. I hate the app compared to what RiF was, but it's been good enough. No way am I paying a subscription to access reddit, and I'm not using the official app after all this either.

Do they seriously have 2k employees? I'd kill to know what all of their jobs are and what each of them does day to day. From what I've heard from mods and from what we've seen I can't imagine they were all doing much.

Cyberpunk fits your three requirements, and you can play it as a non-shooter if you want. You can go melee if you like that, or play as a cyberdeck user who hacks the cyberware of your enemies instead of attacking them directly (can be really fun, or repetitive depending on what you like). I agree with @trankillity though, wait and see if there's a bundle with the new big DLC this fall. It is also going to be a massive overhaul of the game and bring tons of improvements.

Subnautica plays pretty good on the Steamdeck and is not a shooter.

If you like older RPGs and Skyrim but haven't played Oblivion, consider looking into how to install Oblivion on the steamdeck along with a major overhaul mod(s) for graphics and gameplay. Oblivion plays amazing on the steamdeck with the controller mod, and it barely uses battery. I can play hours more Oblivion than I can any modern game, and with a graphics overhaul it doesn't look that bad. Plenty of modern games look worse and still use up the battery in hours less time.

So you don't have any actual response? I realized it was just a YouTube video and copied the code at the end, it's over 2 hours long. I skimmed, it's all the same one-sided skewed misinformation we've all seen before.

I'm not sure what the point of it is other than pro-bank pro-corpo propaganda. I mean sure, I get that it's currently the socially accepted circlejerk, but from an actual intelligent viewpoint what is the point of trying so hard to convince everyone something is true when it provably isn't?

There is so much within the industry that is very clearly not a "ponzi scam", but you, as all the circlejerkers on reddit, don't even bother responding to any arguments. Just insults or "it's true teehee :)" type comments.

Let me give you some examples. There's Lens Protocol, an in-development social media network that gives you a non-custodial permissionless social media profile with which you can use it on any of the front-ends built on top of the protocol. Much like lemmy, it's meant to give us freedom from centralized corporations controlling our data through social media.

There are countless donation drives and projects built to bring in money for good causes. A popular new artist Jack Butcher had one a while back that helped buy almost 250,000 meals through Feeding America via their food bank network.

There are privacy based tokens that help support journalists and activists in places where they can't safely receive money through normal means.

There are projects working with Zero-Knowledge Proofs to create blockchain based alternatives to many apps that would allow us to further control our own data, and actually keep it private. Zk proofs would prevent the services from understanding and reading the data it's using, so we would fully control our own data and only share what we want to.

I could go on, but I'm not going to spend anymore time on this if you're just going to be a lazy troll.

Exactly. And everyone is so ready to argue these days, that there are no discussions, only arguments. If you tried to say "maybe we should focus on the bad things billionaires do instead of dumb tweets" in response to a musk thread, people will simply respond "take musks dick out of your mouth boot licker" and similar insults. That's not a hypothetical, that's a near word for word example of how these circlejerks respond to literaly anything that doesn't line up perfectly with the hivemind.

I'm already seeing some of that on lemmy unfortunately. I hope some communities pop up with stronger moderation against this shit or I may just be done with social media for a while.

Your video isn't loading, but judging by the title I can get the gist if what it's likely saying. It's disappointing seeing this outdated black and white negative misinformation being spread to here too, especially on the only current community on lemmy for discussing decentralization.

Purely talking about the title, ecocidal I'm sure is talking about energy usage. That is outdated misinformation by almost a year. Most development and use-cases for blockchain tech is happening on Ethereum or layers of Ethereum, which moved to Proof-of-Stake almost a year ago. "Ecocidal" might be accurate against Bitcoin (I think it's still a bit of a dramatic word for it, given what else the world spends vast amounts of energy on, including banking and finance infrastructure), but acting like Bitcoin = crypto is about 7+ years out of date thinking.

"Hypercapitalist" is just pure ignorance, I'm not going to bother arguing against this. There is so much more to blockchain technology and everything going on in the industry now than whatever you're imagining based on that word.

"ponzi scams" is the type of circlejerking garbage I was hoping wouldn't be dragged here from reddit. It's the copy/paste response every redditor has outside of crypto subs, yet none of them can ever explain what they're actually talking about and can never respond to any fact based counter arguments. The idea that all the development going on in "crypto" nowadays is just "ponzis" and "scams" is willfull ignorance at best, blatant purposeful misinformation spreading at worst.

I suggest you actually learn more about what is going on within the industry nowadays instead of basing your beliefs on ten year old information and then spreading misinformation based off of that. I'd love for Lemmy to have a higher standard for facts and information and a stronger defense against circlejerking and echochambers.

You should definitely have a phone. Anyone who can afford one of those cheap phones where you just pay for minutes should have one. Get one that can take pictures/videos (I think most of them do nowadays?).

If you see police doing something illegal, the more cameras around the better. The ability to immediately upload that evidence to someone else or a safe cloud service is also important so they can't delete it and you can't lose it by the taking the device.

This isn't a sub, and that's how the internet works. We can talk about dinosaurs in this comment section, or anything else.

I love it so far. I've been a huge supporter for decentralization for a while now through blockchain tech so it's great to see so many people finally seeing what makes decentralization as a concept so great.

I just hope the apps keep developing at the speed they are because they are the part that is lacking the most right now. The experience is significantly better on PC right now. Even simple things like finding new communities is difficult on the apps I've tried so far.

Same. I understand why it's like that, all instances need to be able to see the information. But there must be a way to do this without the instances understanding exactly which users are doing what. Something like zkproofs or hashes or whatever (I'm not a programmer, clearly), there is surely some way to do it while maintaining some privacy.

It gives a lot of data on users to see exactly what they upvote and downvote. Especially with AI being able to go through that data very quickly. It wouldn't be hard to find out a user's political leanings, general IRL location, age, gender, so many personal details they don't want to share that could be used against them through advertising or worse.
