It could also be magnified by the algorithm. Twitter boosts dumb takes.

Oh interesting. Snap runs firefox in an apparmor sandbox. I would have thought for work computers snaps would be a safer choice.

Why is google so desperate to get out of the search business. I remember when results were good.

There isn't anything anyone can do to effectively block accounts in #nostr. Relays can't blocked. Also, blocking users also is not very effective, either. Spam accounts regularly create a new private key and spam a hashtag to get around these blocks.

Why use Ubuntu if you are going to not use snap? It's like wanting to use yum on debian.

not really a common use case but I use it for development for kiosks. I don't think Google allows it's browser to be shipped bundled with another product.

It's not just front end apps that have the problem. The whole blockchain tech. People literally have to pay money to get rid of spam NFTs.

I'm lucky to have made an account on #mastodononline before registrations closed. Scrapers and and spammers can't evade the blocklist if they can't sign back up.

Is "be your own exchange" the latest way to get money from cryptobros, now?

2024-07-09 14:08:44

Oh I was specifically referring to cryptocurrency not money in general. I meant to say, in cryptocurrency money made at a loss from later investors.

Also, I reread my thread, apologizes for coming off harsh, I confused you with someone else. I won't feel bad if you wish to block or mute me for any reason.

FDA is food and drug. Maybe you thought I was moving from food supply to healthcare because of that? I apologize for using that example if you are not from the US.
Whether the tech is new or in development or if blockchain has insurmountable technical blockers, it's not usable either way, so it's the same from my perspective. As such, I'm having trouble finding examples where blockchain is offering additional utility over existing implementations and systems.

2024-07-09 01:21:34

Maybe I was moving goal posts but that wasn't my intent. I wanted to just drill down to a specific example to examine it, so I picked food supply chain.
From the Deloitte article, they are saying the opposite, blockchains are not the solution.
> ..is not fully mature today nor a panacea that can be immediately applied. Several technical, organizational, and behavioral economics challenges must be addressed before a health care blockchain can be adopted by organizations nationwide

It's kind of hard to seperate the marketing hype from the genuine advantages especially with awards and marketing material. For a while a lot of companies touted that it was using blockchain just to make shareholders happy. That's why I went with the FDA example. The FDA isn't selling anything to anyone.

For the largest ERP providers, like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft blockchains were not part of their core functionality.
As for their use, as far as I can see, these implementations didn't make it further than pilot programs. For example, in food supply some grocers used it to track a few products for a while. But these implementations largely died off.
This can be seen by searching the FDA's website for blockchain. The last article is dated 2022.

Blockchain is never used in ERP. Being able to update records is a must have feature.

It still is trivial. If I want an audit trail in SQL, I can create a trigger function to update an audit table.

2024-07-08 20:54:37

Making a database immutable or append-only is trivial. It's hardly a notable feature. I can replace update and delete on any SQL database, for example.
I'm still waiting for these "advantages". I think you are just trying to convince yourself there are some.

Oh I was looking at the Switzerland one. For this one, it seems that city decided not to proceed further with widespread option of blockchain for voting. Doesn't that disprove that blockchain is a better alternative?
I mean, I could Google for many more examples, but even Google doesn't have any. It's filled with marketing speak about decentralization and ownership.

Don't you find it concerning that the best example you can think of for utility is just a trial for a local election? The outcome of the trial hasn't even been posted, yet.

Do you know what a crypto project is that has actual utility and purpose? I'm curious if there is one.

Oh, I'd like to hear more about it. The closest I've come across it with AI art.
For example, I have an account on aipub.social (an AI-art dedicated instance), but is de-federated from a lot of places.

I agree, too. Censorship on mastodon has never been a problem for me, and it seems like the people who regularly have problems with censorship here are not really "my people", to put it nicely.

It's weird that people don't realize that for every dollar someone makes, someone else loses more than a dollar.

Even with this mining difficulty lowered. It still looks like with the latest ASIC and free energy, it will take more than 420+ days just to recover just the price of hardware. I don't understand why so many people are mining at a loss.

I tried Nostr out but it's like 10x slower than Mastodon.
