They also want to doomscroll slop; it’s mindless and mildly entertaining. The same way tabloid newspapers were massively popular before the internet and gossip mags exist despite being utter horseshite. It’s what people want.

The same analogy is applicable to food.

People want to eat fastfood because it's tasty, easily available and cheap. Healthy food is hard to come by, needs time to prepare and might not always be tasty. We have the concepts of nutrition taught at school and people still want to eat fast-food. We have to do the same thing about social/internet literacy at school and I'm not sure whether that will be enough.

Wanna see the menu to your favorite restaurant?

I have used Google maps and it has worked well so far. But it's just the lesser of the two evils.

I heard this game is a bit cryptic. You have to spend some time on the clues.

The main advantages I have felt with fancy terminals are

  • GPU accelerated means scrolling feels smoother
  • Nice single configuration file for the terminal which I can easily move around
  • Launches slightly faster. Only noticeable when you are launching multiple terminals

It's one thing to put those into the blockchain and it's a completely different challenge to have a software infrastructure which incorporates the tech end2end. Example - someone put a random image of someelse else's ticket into the blockchain. The ticket checker needs to have a checker app on his phone which can verify this in real time. It's trivial using centralized DBs.

Hopefully we'll get there one day.

No one has ever denied the math wasn't cool. It's just that the usecase (NFTs) were terrible. I guess the hype has now died down so we might see some actual uses, like land ownership information.

People were freaking out about a camera whereas in 2024 you can't escape a single camera when outside
