“is migrating”

It happened years ago buddy and PoS still uses more energy than centralized solutions for the same number of transactions.

I’m done, you’re brainwashed, goodbye!

2014 would have been even better

From the get go, you’re wrong

https://www.coindesk.com/learn/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-everything-you-need-to-know/

The more people mine, the more decentralized it is, the more energy is necessary because difficulty is increased. The more transactions happen, the more blocks are required, the more energy needs to be spent to confirm all the transactions. The more it’s used, the higher the value, the more people mine.

There’s a limit to the number of transactions per block as well, so no, your can’t just say “1 or 1000 it’s the same”.

Visa is already able to handle 24000 transactions per second as is, no need for more infrastructure.

Crypto uses 1% of the world’s energy production for a couple trillions in assets, the financial system uses 2.5% for quadrillions in assets, multiple thousands more than crypto, no, crypto can’t scale to that without a huge environmental impact.

Yes you are trying to greenwash crypto, just stop.

I’ve had to fuck around with my Windows saves (backed to the cloud) when installing the Linux version of Wasteland 2 and the two Pillars of Eternity games and I eventually just gave up and installed them with Proton so it would download the saves to the right place for them to work.

If you play Deadfire on multiple Linux devices you need to install with Proton compatibility otherwise cloud saves don’t work at all because Steam doesn’t back up the right folder (it uses the Windows folder name which has a lower case o in the word Of), that means that if you wipe your hard drive and rely on cloud saves then you’re fucked because Steam will have created an empty folder to backup.

And remember, as I said, the Deck installs the Windows version by default but if you have Linux on your PC then chances are cloud saves between your Deck and PC won’t work unless you force the Deck to install the Linux version of games.

Visa can process a maximum of 24k TPS

Crypto energy usage goes up the more it’s being used and the more decentralized it becomes. Centralized services like Visa can increase the network load while barely increasing the energy requirements.

Crypto bros always forget that to replace the banking system, crypto would need to replace the infrastructure as well, but because of decentralization it would be less energy efficient for the same result.

You can just stop, there’s no way to greenwash crypto and decentralization. The amount of transactions happening on all crypto networks at the moment could be handled by one server if it was centralized. There’s benefits to it, stop trying to sell it as being green, it’s not and never will be.

“more elephants than we need”

They’re an endangered species you moron!

I didn’t even get to that, house energy usage can’t be compared to crypto energy usage, they’re not used for the same thing!

Ok, I was in agreement with you (the concept of NFTs is great, what people do with it is dumb) until the environment part

Crypto, even proof of stake, isn’t energy efficient and never will be, the banking sector uses more energy but it also manages quadrillion in funds and transactions, crypto’s value as a whole is orders of magnitude less than that and there’s more energy spent per transaction than in the traditional financial sector. Crypto replacing banks and cash would be an environmental disaster.

Next, even if mining is done using green energy, it means that this energy isn’t used to reduce emissions in other, actually essential, sectors. There’s an environmental cost to green energy (what do you think was under the dam’s reservoir?) so having to produce more infrastructure just for crypto is wasteful.

Only issue you’ll probably have is if the cloud saves are for a different OS, so if you’re playing on Windows make sure it’s the Proton version of the game that’s installed on the Deck, if you’re playing a native Linux version of the game on your PC then make sure it’s the native Linux version that’s installed on the Deck (usual defaults to the Proton version).

It’s just an issue with the cloud save feature being too dumb, the path to the save folder isn’t the same on both platforms so it doesn’t sync well (although I think it does on some games).

If you have enough customers that you can sell 4 lbs to one at a rebate and the rest is sold at regular price to the other clients, but then that one client starts buying all your stock at a rebate, you’re losing money compared to the past situation, so you might be better off losing that client or forcing them to pay full price and hoping that they just continue buying depending on how the math works out…

I was only counting "by color"but if we add the outline as well then a Triforce is 5 triangles (three white,1 black, the shape itself), the Triforce of Triforces is 3 x 5 + 2 (middle + outline) so 17 and the shape as it is now is 3 x 17 + 2 so 53

40…

Each Triforce is 4 triangles, each Triforce of Triforces adds an extra triangle in the middle ((3x4) +1) so that’s 13 and then the next step is 3x that + the extra triangle in the middle = 40

Without the black spaces it’s 27

Current shape x3, start with triangle > Triforce > Triforce of Triforces and so on

Wouldn’t that open the door to the bill being declared illegal since you didn’t consent to the services?

Well that last part is a US specific issue and people have the right to refuse treatment

My condolences to him

Weird that criticism of Spam wouldn’t be acceptable in a vegan community!

Hehehe, Bork

Having to buy a number of in game coins that doesn’t match the price of items should be illegal
