Can you see how “there’s not a better solution” isn’t addressing the problem that crypto is fundamentally a scam?

Also, you can’t pay your rent with crypto either….

EDIT: if you want crypto to pass my sniff test, you have to explain where value comes from.

Fiat currency is valuable because I can pay my taxes with it. (This is really the only reason it has value).

So what underpins crypto value beyond “it’s the future”

All (capitalistic) money is a scam.

We’re just forced to use a currency because governments say so.

So yes, your crypto is still a scam. Because money still vanishes into thin air when line goes down.

If still expect a discount for worse parts.

You’re trying to please a boomer that’s still angry that email exists in the first place.

Apartment Audio Solutions (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 month ago by wholookshere to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

So I’m looking to spend money on a new TV and audio setup.

I have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, an office, and two bathrooms that I’d like to fit with speakers. I do rent so I do need wireless.

For the TV in the living room and one bedroom I want a sound bar, but am planning for bookshelf style speakers for the rest of the rooms. I live in apartment building so I want to avoid a subwoofer. There’s decent sound proofing though, and I don’t plan on cranking the volume for any of these.

I want to be able to combine any rooms with each other and play music from any tv or Spotify.

Im currently looking at Sonos systems, but want to consider something more self hosted.

I wouldn’t know where to start looking for good systems. I imagine music assistant would handle the logic of what I need, but no clue on speakers and amplifiers.

Any ideas?

That assumes dev resources are limitless. And for a company the size of proton that’s certainly not true.

They can only have X amount of devs. So how they allocate them says a lot.

Also given that most complaints I’ve seen at the top are about specific missing features for ages, I think it’s safe they’re putting their eggs into too many baskets.

That would defeat the purpose of federation.

It becomes a central choke point of moderation. Who gets to decide what instances are part of global and which ones aren’t. Because a free for all isn’t going to end well. And then you’re back at Reddit.

When the other territory is actively invading mine, no I don’t see how territory makes another otherwise valid target not valid.

100% of Russians invading Ukraine came from Russia.

Please describe to me how someone who offered up changes to change “he” to “they” for them, and then the contributor getting pissy about “politics” is denying work.

Mmmmmm don’t know about that.

The Planck length is the minimum resolvable accuracy of the universe. That doesn’t mean it’s a building block like the electron is.

Airbus already has an A320 plant in Alabama. https://us.airbus.com/en/airbus-us-locations#:~:text=The%20Airbus%20U.S.%20Manufacturing%20Facility,aircraft%2C%20producing%2060%20aircraft%20annually

That plant is why airbus was brought in on the Bombardier deal. It was originally to make the C220 in that plant to get around import tariffs.
