Nostr Web Client

Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content. This is right before I’m about to give my talk at the oslo freedom forum on how decentralized social networks with lightning integration are bringing financial freedom to the masses... pretty sus… 😕

This would be a watershed moment: If people can’t transact freely p2p on their platform, this has huge implications for the entire ecosystem of apps with lightning integration and v4v.

Reason number 36361 that I've never owned an iPhone:

Damnit we were so close to convincing you 😂

Derek Ross 2y ago

That would never happen my dude 😂 I'm Android all the way. Besides, it's open source.

Androids for the win!

And that's why i never will, and never suggest iPhone to anyone.

Derek Ross 2y ago

Absolutely. I have been Apple free most of my life. My girlfriend bought me an iPod mini about 20 years ago. Ugh. I forget her name 😂 I have never purchased an Apple device.

"You'll own nothin"

Weird

Wow! Unreal. I'm surprised Google hasn't done the same though.

There's at least a check to that power in Android by installing apks directly from the dev or using third party app stores like fdroid. No doubt it helps keep them honest.

Baker 2y ago

Great point

Derek Ross 2y ago

Even if Google would do that, they won't, but if they did, we could sideload APKs. Android gives you that freedom.

Baker 2y ago

Makes sense!

Most people don’t realize that Google have very similar rules to Apple; they just lack the ability to enforce them very well and don’t seem to care too much about changing it, at least for now.

I was an iPhone when they launched but it was 2014 that made it easy to switch. Fool me once shame on you....
