  • Hopefully the next exodus, Lemmy will have a better way to boost visibility of niche communities in active/hot timelines. Reddit was good at doing this, not sure how they did it. Right now it’s really hard to grow small communties unless you explicitly keep checking on them. So it is a problem, but there is a solution that hopefully we’ll figure out soon. Also we have pretty mature phone apps now, but the desktop site is pretty lacking unless you use one of those alternative front ends.














  • Yeah I definitely know what you mean though, but I think that’s a problem with really large scoped games that rely on proc gen. Obviously star field isn’t out yet, but I wonder how they’ll break it. I imagine they’ll have some sort of landmark on each planet where they’d want to draw you to. Then that’s where all the handmade stuff is. The rest of the planet will probably be boring proc gen stuff and there’s only so much you can do to make that interesting. NMS at least fleshed out their systems more with time, so I don’t know if Starfield will have that as well, or if majority of it is going to be just story and exploration like traditional Bethesda games. It probably will.


  • idk if you’ve played No Man Sky, it’s still going strong. It just released another massive update and has been releasing huge updates for 7 years now. It is a much closer fit for the exact fantasy you’re describing. Thing is, once you realize proc gen is most of the content for planets, it means you’ve basically seen it all. I don’t have any hype for the game, but NMS gave me hundred of hours, and judging by you implying the game is somehow negative, you probably still have the opinion from it’s initial launch. The game is really, really good now.


  • You didn’t even know what a pgp key was before this convo or read receipts, you have no idea what you’re talking about. This is not a real problem and is already solved with outbox emails.

    Your personal email server doesn’t count, because you can alter the log to show whatever you want. Nobody is going to take your word for it.

    Falsifying evidence is a crime.

    Manager tells worker they need to cover an emergency on the weekend, worker claims they never received the message.

    Lol then the manager will say “why did you not respond”, it’s on the worker. They’re not going to pull up a fucking blockchain, they’re going to pull out their phone and say “see, I sent you this”.

    Business wants to cancel a work order, contractor shows up and says they weren’t properly notified of the cancellation.

    That’s the contractors fault. Blockchain is irrelevant. If they didn’t check their email, they’re sure as hell not going to check a dumb ass blockchain.

    They know they sent you the message, even if you delete it or otherwise pretend they didn’t.

    Crazy, I wonder how they know that? Maybe because they know they pressed the “send” button, and it’s the other party’s responsibility to accept.

    Again, none of these situations need a dumb fucking blockchain.

    You do understand that not every blockchain system is public, right?

  • This is such an obscure situation that doesn’t even need to be solved with blockchain. Look at the article being posted. “Messaging network for safer communications”, which now apparently turns to just a single situation where a lawyer needs to send a time sensitive email and needs to prove it was sent? Which again, doesn’t actually even solve the problem. In this case, your blockchain ponzi scheme email can easily get caught by a spam filter. You’ve now turned the use case to some global read receipt system, which is dumb as hell and something nobody needs.

    This use case literally does not exist. It can also be solved by a simple email server. A business that wants to keep logs of all their messages being sent out or received can store everything on their server with inbound or outbound emails. If in the super extreme scenario where a lawyer sends an email and the counsel ignores it, they can get in a lot of legal trouble for lying and would just get delayed. They lawyer can also prove they sent an outbound copy on their email server. What do you think needs to be “auditable” in communication? A business sending a damn receipt does not need this solution, that’s the end user for their email being valid. A lawyer sending private documents to each other want the literal last thing to be on a fucking public cloud server that is invisibly accessible by any fucking third party. Do you hear yourself? Are you a real person??

    Literally none of these obscure scenarios you’re trying to come up with even need a blockchain solution. You should recognize how hard you’re trying to justify this as it being a dumb fuck solution. Despite all these issues you’re apparently inventing, we use our existing technology every day and none of these are issues. You’re coming off more like ChatGPT then a normal person.
