10” iPad is $250 at Best Buy right now. It’s the same one I have and it’s been brilliant for a very similar use case. I wish it were smaller though.

Oh I’m sorry I’m a realist that understands that we have to play the hand we’re dealt.

Feel free to offer a realistic alternative. My ears over here are open.

I’ll vote Biden because I know at the end of his term he’ll leave office.

I’ll take that over the uncertainty of trump who will surely be on the ballot. Not to mention, as a person whose just come out this year, I’m not confident I’d be safe under a trump presidency.

Any suggestions on where to learn how to do this? I’m sailing on a Linux machine if it makes a difference.

I give $10/month to RiseUp for their VPN service.

I’m a monthly subscriber and didn’t get a notification that my price was going up this month which made it pretty neat when my charge went through.

My idea is that the art is being sold and the NFT only says who owns it. It doesn’t need to be digital art, it can be just about anything where an original creator should benefit from the item changing hands.

Whenever the NFT changes hands, there are fees associated, which would include a portion of the sale going to the original artist, a royalty. And because the NFT exists on a publicly visible blockchain, back alley sales can’t happen ensuring that the artist gets paid.

This type of thing helps ensure that artists benefit from their art going into demand and increasing in value.

The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

Yes. The actual artist.

That was one of the things that was working quite well during the NFT hype.

lol. I’ve seen more hostility toward Apple products here than I ever saw at Reddit in the 12 years I was there.

I looked at the shortcut to see if there was maybe anything malicious and there’s an action that it doesn’t recognize and is prompting me to update shortcuts, but I’ve got the most up to date version.

Guessing that’s a part of the problem for you too.

Edit: looking at an OP comment, I’m guessing it’s a call to the chatgpt ios app, which I don’t have.

Don’t need blockchain, no, but blockchain has some advantages since its peer verified and, when implemented well, much harder to fake data than a centralized database might be.

With a normal database we have to trust the one person/entity managing it.

With blockchain, it’s a community that we trust.

Not sure I’d say ‘will’ because the people who have to implement it are the same people that benefit from the current system.

The major nft exchanges paid a portion of each sale to the artists, yes. It was one of the things that NFTs, and blockchain in general, was supposed to help solve for. IMO it’s a good use case for blockchain being used when paired with real world items.

Blockchain =/= crypto

Crypto uses blockchain, but blockchain is just a different type of database that generally tracks data through a decentralized network. It has a lot of real uses beyond crypto like identity verification, transcript/records management management, and iot data sharing. It’s nothing that can’t be done in a centralized manner, it’s just a different way of going about it that, in some cases, is much more secure and/or much more easily accessible.

Huh. Cool.

Thanks!

Oh damn. Nice. But I assume that also means I don’t download or ‘have’ any of them right? I’d be paying put.io to store and stream them?

How’s the library?

Also ADHD, but in the way that systems like that don’t work for me. I’m wholly incapable of keeping up with them and they sap me of all my energy.

What happened with Willow?

What’s put.io do exactly?
