This is the Linux content I was looking for. So relevant and insightful to Linux itself. Like, wow, this is so much better and so much less insufferable than Reddit’s userbase, amirite, guys? It’s so refreshing seeing the same ideology leaking into literally every community, the diversity is so nice to see, like, wow, yes.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen four digits. That was a “lol no”.
And what can we do to make the Internet a more safe and privacy friendly place and replace the ad business by something less unpleasant ?
Websites have to pay their bills. Ads, subscriptions or microtransactions; take your pick.
The one way I can think of that would retain the anonymous character of the internet would be HTTP microtransactions by some kind of crypto. Hopefully one of the non-wasteful ones, so not Bitcoin.
Huh, I missed that. Yep, they were using Bitcoin back before it was fully a circlejerk, looks like, which is reasonable. Now I just know it as a Chrome spinoff that pretends to be private, haha.
It looks like Chrome’s trying to do something similar, although there’s a high chance Google will attempt a walled garden version.
“Web Monetization” is the keyword. It could be great for things like Lemmy, too, where hosting costs might eventually become a major obstacle.
