Might not be the most popular answer - but why not mine Ethereum or Bitcoin? Or maybe something smaller like Stellar Lumens?
Crypto mining is widely regarded as taxing on your hardware and consumes a good amount of juice. Small additional ROI that you wouldn’t get by just running furmark.
I think as ROI is a prominent metric for mining, you’ll find a wealth of resources that will answer your exact questions on enabling/disabling/scaling in line with an external value like unit cost of power.
“hide all child comments” was a much beloved feature on BaconReader, at least for me.
I also preferred the card view of content, and that all read content would get hidden.
But this is something new, so I’m trying not to compare them directly - I don’t really want Lemmy to just be new Reddit, but something new.
Legit thought Lemmy was serving me an advert for a moment there…!
But yeah, the official R*ddit app is Garbo, they even bought Alien Blue years ago and have just failed to keep pace with Apollo, RIF or BaconReader. This API move is just a monopolisation of their content stream, hugely anti-competition.
Even if they sorted out their app, rolled back API to free, I’d never go back. Fuck Spez.
That sounds like a much better use of the compute power.
Glad you found a workable solution!
