Great idea if we make an exception for Bitcoin.

Why 2001. We need Bitcoin

Sir, 2009.

They don't hard cap the technology. They just test selectively if they feel it meets the goal of their community. Based on testing results they decide to adopt or not and if there will be hard limits.

I just texted an amish person yesterday. Of course he has a limited phone that he is only allowed to use for certain things like doing business with the English and only during certain times of day.

The root of the difference is they default deny new technologies while we default accept. I don't have the same goals so I wouldn't set the same rules they do. I have been trying to move towards a default deny deliberate adoption model.

Nostr only is cypherpunk Amish. I have decided that I am willing to use social media but only with the limit that I only use protocols not platforms and only where I have full control over who and what is in my feed.

I recently set a hard line that location information and photos of my family must be e2ee. Adopt signal or go without. Grandparents jumped right on and have no issue.

2009, to allow for bitcoin, but flip phones only.

This was my dream. I'm not so much against old tools. They practically last forever but their too much focus on religion is what's is not for me.

October 31, 2008 would be a better choice

No btc?

Or at least an Airbnb camping resort town vacation summer camp team building thing

You can use Free Software compliant OS's, apps and games.

Problem solved.

The community is gonna be eaten alive by the AI first. Pretty much that’s the fear that runs tech innovation in the world, fear of getting taken over by somebody else.

As I've said before, AI is just a big, frick off computer program.

It's those training and programming it that are dangerous.
