Thank you for all your hard work. I am considering moving to monero.house in future just because i think it would allign more directly with my interests, but we shall see. Their methods of screening out bots are interesting as you can either ask to join via twitter/reddit account with history or pay 0.01XMR and give the transaction ID

I think it needs to be a set of glasses and we need better battery tech before that can really happen. Solid state batteries will be needed since their energy density is so much higher. As a low vision user i can think of an immediate use as a magnification device. Actual magnifiers dont work well for me but software magnification does. Therefore i could magnify my surroundings to read signs, etc.

Same. While i have had this account for over a year i am just now really diving into it. I have been a mastodon user for years but just never had a reason to come and really kick the tires on lemmy

Preaching to the choir, but sing it. I am getting my money out of the dollar just as fast as i can so when the ship sinks i wont go down with it. I will give away my dollars while some other poor sap still values them. I can take out small dollar based loans against my crypto too because it will be easier to pay back the loan in the future thanks to inflation devaluing the dollar.

Edit: spelling

For me its

  • The Martian, and Artemis by Andy Weir
  • Termination Shock by Neil Stephenson
  • 2001, 2010, 2061, 3001 Odyssey series by Arthur C Clarke
  • lots of David Brin
  • lots of Greg Bear
  • One Second After (series) by William Forstchen
  • The Wool Omnibus (series) by Hugh Howey
  • Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
  • After Sundown by Linda Howard
  • Solar Flare by Larry Burkett
  • etc

I really enjoy books with a solar flare componet due to my being a ham radio op. I also love apocolypse books of nearly any type. Just no zombies as they freak me out

Man, that was really hard to read with a screen reader with all the random capitals. You have to read differing viewpoints and come up with your own conclusions.

Also, for the record, 5G does not cause cancer and is not a method to mind control humans or cook us. The new mmWave frequencies are seriously attenuated by just rain and totally blocked by skin. Plus RF power falls off with the square of distance. Standing a normal distance from a cell tower the sun is more harmful.
