@SplitShockVirus My question was in light of the recent controversy and the fallout that's resulting from it. Personally, I was never a fan of Joe Rogan going exclusive with Spotify a couple of years ago. That was a bad deal for podcasting in general.

@coolbsd different people are parsing Joe Rogan's statement with different interpretations. Some are describing it as some sort of apology (Russell Brand) while others are saying something else. 🤷

@coolbsd So did I, and I see things similar to the way you do. Nevertheless, people who are not me see things that I don't.

@coolbsd Back in my collage dorm days, that was an upgrade from instant ramen.

@Iskamag Not exactly. That general concept applies to any fiat currency, not just crypto.

@Iskamag The price of the hardware and electricity used to mint those coins don't mean much of anything in the context of intrinsic value. That energy that was spent minting that coin is gone and can't be reclaimed. Maybe there's a crypto I'm not considering that has a one-to-one backing with some physical commodity, but most coins I'm aware of that are traded don't have any intrinsic value by themselves, yet people assign value to them based on a finite supply.

@Iskamag Buying and selling electricity is not the same as reclaiming the energy used to mint the original coin.The US dollar was once based on the gold standard. Every dollar that was issued had a corresponding quantity of gold that you would have been able to redeem your dollars for at any time. The US dollar is no longer based on that gold standard, but nothing is stopping you from using those dollars to buy and sell gold. 🤷

@syscrash No, but I'm wondering if there's a build of LineageOS for it.

@coolbsd Really? That's too bad. That will probably mean the end of me as a mastodon user. I have an account on mastodon.socicial but I never feel like logging into it. I can understand why he would feel like killing this instance. It doesn't really seem like he gets much out of keeping it going.

@coolbsd Looks like distrotoot is a sinking ship now. It was fun for a while. A little sad that it's now a burden.

@coolbsd @GreenLeaderFanCLub Oddly enough, the recent toots that were lost when the old backup was restored still show up when I view my account from my old account @evilrob.

@10leej A small niche with a relatively small user base. Larger instances produce a lot of noise.

@la_ninpre I usually have the opposite complaint about the other instance I'm on. There's always a lot of activity on that instance which makes the signal to noise ratio rather high when I scroll through the local timeline.

@syscrash Still here. I'm simultaneously logged into my other account that I haven't tooted from in about a year. I'll probably stay logged in here until it times out or 404s.

@coolbsd I don't. I read the comment section and sometimes I engage, but it's not like a proper social media experience. I have absolutely no interest or attachment to the people with whom I'm reading or engaging with.

It blows my mind that the designers of C++ think that function overloading and operator overloading are good ideas.

@syscrash Is that the new server that @mathstew92 is setting up?
