In which country? Germany and France put some effort in and it’s still not great most of the time but most languages dub only in 1 or 2 voices for all characters. Just look at the ridiculous long credits of Netflix shows.
Brazil has a long history of dubbing, not only translating but also localizing tv shows and movies. In some cases the shows are actually better dubbed, because the voice actors are better at emoting than the original cast.
Anime dubs from Japanese into English are often quite good, even idiomatic (I am sure there's some license taken, say for something like <<Kill La Kill>>, but the overall result is much better for it).
if you’re on iOS, i found that the focus feature + screen time limit is pretty good at this. basically you can block out any notifications that you want for a set period of time. but yea, it still doesnt stop you from physically reaching out to your phone
Try the app called Opal. Similar thing but you can always skip the block. The trick is that each time you skip the block, there’s a longer and longer cooldown period to skip it again.
You could, but you'd have to browse that, rather than getting notified in a feed you already monitor when new things are posted on sources you are interested in.
Half of my Twitter feed is profile pics of NFTs being displayed prominently.
In a pre-digital pre-social media world you’re right. But in the modern world where people spend more time socializing online than in meatspace, digital goods become easier to display than physical ones.
I think a lot of HN doesn’t get this because they don’t spend much time on social media. But for someone like Steph Curry, putting an ape in his profile pic gets a lot more exposure than a Van Gogh on his living room wall.
The part that still baffles me is that if you did that, the NFT community would just say "oh well that's not the REAL owner!" and pretend you don't exist
Similarly if you "stole" the blockchain receipt of an actual NFT, therefore gaining "ownership" of it, the NFT community would simply pretend the person you stole it from was still the "real" owner, despite having zero "verifiable" status to it, beyond having possibly tweeted it before you did
I have to use a lot of quotes because even in a hypothetical there's so many variables that applying real world properties to just make my head hurt
You can't steal a blockchain receipt. Here's a challenge for you: go right click a CryptoPunk and save it, or use this NFTBay to torrent the JPEG yourself. Then try and sell it.
And in a day or two, you could find the most expensive old Dutch master sold at Sotheby's and have a perfect digital replication.
Nobody would stop you from hanging it out up in your living room, or even announcing to everyone on social media that it's the original and you're the owner. Nobody would need to, because everyone in the art collecting community would recognize this as super cringe.
People purchase art for social status. What you're describing is the opposite of social status.
