People who think #ProofOfStake is better than #ProofOfWork haven't had to touch #Ethereum and espechally #Solana which require a shitton of #RAM, NVMe-#SSD|s and superfast, low latency networking!

In fact they make #Monero look like the biggest act of envoirmentalism since the ban of leaded car gasoline and CFCs!

  • And yes this is no joke: There are BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES using these #Shitcoins!

Seriously, this is also a problem, or did you guys really thought that the #AIbubble & #AIslop would stop #Shitcoin-Floods done by #TechBros and #FinanceBros ?

@joepie91 @sil what part of

[…] a net negative in my experience […]

is not clear?

Sorry, but it only takes few things to sour something for people.

Obviously #JS, alongside #Cookies and #Tracking, are mere tools of #Enshittification but that certainly is as much warranted as the shitstain #Blockchain and #NFTs got due to #CryptoBros using #Shitcoins to #PumpAndDump-#scam #TechIlliterates and #FinanceIlliterates that are "#HornyForMoney!"

  • OFC that hurts honest people just like #Shitcoin-Scams hurt #Monero despite being technically incapable to being weaponized for #NFT-Bullshit like #NFTmalware.

Either we say "#Tech is #apolitical!" and accept diverging opinions and experiences to exist as equal

or

We say "#TechIsPolitical!" and ask "Who benefits?" from the rapid onset #Enshittification and purposefully engineered, #PlannedObsolescence due to #Bloatware, regardless if JS or #Windows11 or purposefully bricking support for legacy versions of #iOS.

@sil@mastodon.social except #JavaScript is a *net negative* in my experience as it is only good for 3 things: - making websites #inaccessible to #TextBrowsers, thus #discriminating against #blind users. - Injecting #malware like #Shitcoin #miners for #CryptoJacking. - Violating #consent of users with #tracking and #adware. Tell me i I'm wrong! #JS #PayOrOkay #Privacy #ITsec #ClownFlare #CloudFlare #Enshittification #bloatware #ads

@FluentInFinance and that's because #TechBros are too #HornyForMoney and we allow this "#AI" bullshit to be peddled which is in favt a giant #scam!

@Straddleco if something like "accurate #market #predictions" would exist, you as a company would not exist.

Because that would inevitably lead to 3 things:

1. #Regulators and #StockExchanges would clamp down on you and restrict.your ability.to get data.

2. Your #Service / #App would be abused so hard to do #MarketManipulation that it would be outlawed.

3. Assholes like #PeterThiel would buy you up or organized crime would destroy you.

Anyone who thinks #StockMarket and #ExchangeRates are predictable beyond "guesstimating" based off existing #OSINT either facilitates #InsiderTrading or is literally a compulsory #gambling #addict at their core.

Cuz I've seen that #scam in the wild.

And yes, people who get "#HornyForMoney" often shut off their brain and then act like fucking idiots because "#greed eats brain"...

#YouTube #ads are full of #scams and questionable financial advice by preying on #FinancialIlliterates that are #HornyForMoney.

Seriously, with all those "Matrix" refernces I wished the Wachowski Sisters or Village Roadshow Pictures or WB were to sue grifters like that.

Again: #AdBlocker are not just a necessity against #malvertising and #malware but an act of #SelfCare and #MutualDefense against #Disinformation campaigns incl. #hatespeech-based #propaganda.

@ericalaeta @solarpapst die meisten sind wie #CryptoBros "#HornyForMoney" und ignorieren dass #Verbraucher*innen nie die #ROI erreichen können.

@cobordism @hyc @voxel IMHO the only thing that moving #Ethereum from #PoW to #PoS achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for #SmallInvestors to fiddle with it.

Demondtrably, #EthereumClassic would at least be more trustworthy, alas that's an Opinion based off 'vibes'

  • Whether the PoS transition did save energy is debateable since #Ethereum uses #ASIC|s which makes it way more polluting due to these being useless for anything else. #Scalpers are shit but at the very least a #CPU or #GPU can be reused elsewhere…
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Maybe had #Mozilla actually cared they could've convinced #Nokia to do #FirefoxOS and we'd not have the shitty #Duopoly of today, but as we all know the decisions were made by #TechIlliterate suits that are just #HornyForMoney"
