I mean, fair, but still. People should push them to go green.

You can get solar panels for like $100-$200 on Amazon right now. Nice ones. The price of them dropped like a fucking rock since China got involved.

I agree with you. That still means Bitcoin is on the hook though.

You’d think with all of the money they’re pulling in, they’d invest in solar panels or something to lower their overhead.

Or am I making the mistake of approaching the situation with common sense?

🤔 A blockchain with a private key tied to your palm print would work. It would guarantee proving uniqueness in a way that no human could differentiate who is what, only the blockchain itself could, and because palm prints are extremely difficult for other people to fake, it would guarantee the ability for websites to actually enforce rules in a meaningful way.

Something that’s not extremely painful to log into and that actually works

Through IRC servers and not Discord’s corporate control, yes

The GUI, add a lot of features we use nowadays like profile pictures, emotes, more advanced bots, better organization for rooms in a server, possibly a new name.

I remember IRC back when I was a kid. I wish someone would update it for use in today’s world.

The one thing we couldn’t spin up though are core services that I mentioned - banking, healthcare, government sites, etc.

🤔 Actually, if we banded together and had enough people with the know-how and willpower, we could in principle open up our own credit union. Credit unions are alternatives to banks and are specifically designed for shit like this. Just as there are teachers’ and firefighters’ credit unions, so too could there be one for, say, us Lemmonades.

So basically, we’re going to have to build a separate internet that rejects this new protocol and allows for alternate browsers. That tactic, combined with piracy and offering everything the big guys charge money for for free, might be enough to draw at least a chunk of the people away from it.

Let’s just make our own open-source browser then

Fair.
