You’re trying to please a boomer that’s still angry that email exists in the first place.

a little further down, emphasis my own

Though the famous online names are not directly linked with these deaths, students feel betrayed by the lack of vocal or visible support. They believe none of them would be running profitable businesses or be household names if it were not for them.

So again, why are people getting angry at the YouTubers?

I mean the article made it sound like a standard tutorial grifters, so I’m not sure I feel bad for them, but I still have that question.

That would defeat the purpose of federation.

It becomes a central choke point of moderation. Who gets to decide what instances are part of global and which ones aren’t. Because a free for all isn’t going to end well. And then you’re back at Reddit.

That assumes you don’t value your time spent dealing with troubles that come.

Like the other person said, it’s fine if you don’t, but for me it’s worth a little upfront cost to have to deal with less ordering new drives, putting the drive in the server, monitor rebuilding of the array, ect…

None of that is an excuse for lack of proper backups. Because even new drives can fail catastrophically.

NASA also consistently provides new innovation and new science.

What will the dome keep contributing to society for the absurd electricity cost it takes to keep running? Advertisements?

Yeah, there not really the same argument.

That’s an appeal to authority fallacy if I’ve ever seen one.

They’re doing proof of concepts, not mass production. They’re at best answering is it possible, not is it a viable alternative.

Please describe to me how someone who offered up changes to change “he” to “they” for them, and then the contributor getting pissy about “politics” is denying work.

Okay but like, you also realize gas fees for transactions can get stupid expensive right? Banks don’t have variable rates.

That’s what they said about bitcoin, and there’s still nothing useful at any kind of scale outside of scams.
