Is there any issue with buying a card that was previously used for mining?

If used by a home user who didn’t know what they were doing they might have run it hotter for much longer than a typical gamer so the thermal paste might need a redo.

If used by some miner doing it even quasi-professionally or as a side-gig I’d much prefer it over a 2nd hand card from any typical gamer (most miners) they’ve kept the voltage/temps low and taken care of it far better than a gamer who might be power cycling regularly and definitely thermal cycling even more regularly.

Tough to sell any old jar of farts without somebody wanting it for some reason (like having already seen pics of your butthole and becoming a perverted fan of everything your butthole ejects).

It seems that way to us on the face of it but the lines that’ve been trotted out are firstly the worry that money is coming from an illegal source whether underaged or trafficked and secondly that money laundering could be happening, OF would be/is an extremely easy way to clean dirty money.

They used to have to set up actual businesses that did actual work in case a genuine customer appeared, now they can buy feet pics and jars of farts or whatever.

It’s funny how the few who’re totally sold on Bluetooth go “ugh, but then you’d need a headphone jack” as if it isn’t an upgrade for others which wouldn’t affect their ability to use Bluetooth at all.

Your timeline would almost certainly be a little less stupid if you did that with gusto, but people who’ve disagreed with you can also post things beneficial to you or post insights you hadn’t thought of or post advice you’d find useful. I was a heavy RES tagger on reddit and I’d often come across well-meaning or useful posts and comments from people who’d been marked for saying jawdroppingly stupid shit about some other subject.

As are crepes. Yankakes are kinda gross, the baking powder gives them a really weird squeaky mouthfeel, kinda like rubbing cotton wool between your fingers but for the mouth.

Minus the Bear - Absinthe Part At The Fly Honey Warehouse

Pretty much the whole album’s a summer-soaked stomper but this one hits me with that nostalgic pang of young love heading somewhere for a romantic summer holiday.

It was much worse in 2019, a post hitting over 100-200 was unusual and the comment sections were beyond dead. Most comment sections these days are still filled with hope, in 2019 suicide hotline threads were a weekly occurrence or more.

We’ll see anyway, the BTC halving has led to a run 3 times in a row so far, just like clockwork. Barring another recession I just see the same pattern forming.

Oh there’s a ton of interest but just kept to shitcoiners for now - the subreddits are nothing like they were during the bear market around 2019, back then it was a ghost town even with a subscriber count of 800k but now they’re still very active due to an influx of millions of users (6m subs on the main shitcoin sub).

It’ll all likely swing back up in the next two years and become a media and scam frenzy again, then another crash, rinse, repeat.

Reddit shilling decentralisation and ownership knowing how they’ve acted the last few months is hilarious though, they’ve been prideful of saying “nope you don’t own shit,now fuck off somewhere else” and spez bootlickers have been parroting it endlessly too. Seems odd that they’re the people Reddit are going to have to advertise this… Fauxnership to.

Here’s a link to their preview feature TOS which was updated just last month.

They’ve updated their preview feature TOS as recently as last month to push forward with avatars and community points, I reckon they’re just biding time to sync it with the next bull run to maximise value and heighten chance of seeming like they have genius cutting edge foresight.

Link here, specifically 5.1

The bottom of that’s also funny because it makes it clear their smart contract is permissioned and if they don’t like what you do with your virtual goods they can remove them from you. Very immutable, wow, such ownership.

I know in your example you’re trying to give the right answer or explanation as you see it, but this is also very closely related to Cunningham’s Law:

The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.

So you’re still providing a service even if it feels bad to have an expert steamroll whatever perception you had. Chances are tons of people had the same vague notion as you and your misguided logic eventually led to the correct path.

There’s still a one-time remove ads/tracking price which is €23 for me, varies by region. The lifetime Sync Ultra is for cloud back-up features, can be ignored.

old.lemmy.world should fix those woes.

I’d believe it’s organic tbh, I was waiting for Sync or Boost to drop before I fully took the plunge. There are probably many others like me for whom those apps and others defined the Reddit mobile experience and the other apps for Lemmy (or the ones I used at least) weren’t as feature rich so it’s an easy choice to make.

Making a new account and linking to your old one in the bio isn’t as convoluted as it may sound.
