I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

    Far too volatile for commerce.

    That’s one half of the problem. The other half is that you have a choice between taking forever to get a transaction completed (Bitcoin can do about 10 transactions per second … WORLDWIDE!) or paying really horrifically high “gas” fees (Ethereum).

    The third half (I flunked fractions: sue me!) is that 99.44% of the crypto world is just scams: open Ponzi schemes or concealed ones.

      While I agree with you, I’m gonna have to take you up on your offer to sue you for flunking fractions. I’d be willing to settle out of court in exchange for one (1) funny meme, though.
