It’s good not to conflate “user” with “customer”, or understand the distinction, at least. The “customer” for traditional social media networks are entities who wish their ads to be seen, or use surveillance data. For #nostr , I don’t think we know yet who the “customer” is.

Oh, we know. It's usually Ten31.vc or OpenSats.org .
sometimes jack
Or hrf.org
yeah, i'm not real hot on that org, NGOs are mostly shady fronts for something the opposite of what they say
Choose your partners and serve your stakeholders wisely. The worst are those that expect everything for free and go ballistic if you don’t embrace their ideology to their exacting detail. If you don’t have a core conviction for your endeavour, then you are just working for someone else.
You are working for someone else, in whole or in part, if that someone else can influence the direction your work is taking.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a thing.
I don't know anything about them, really.
At any rate, I think this is an important conversation to have, as it is the explanation for the widespread low software quality standard.
Everyone is wondering why it is that way, but the answer is always: because the customer wants it that way or the customer doesn't care.
First and foremost, I am my own customer. The issue I ran into was that I wanted to build micropayment system, but I did not want to be a custodian. The relay architecture goes a long way to solving that problem. nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f is the first “customer” in that they realized that this was a problem to be solved (not specifically for them). I actually have other “customers” in the pipeline that realize the capability that building a wallet that can exist independently from an app or platform could be strategically important.
Yes, OpenSats is very Bitcoin-y.
I remember this from motor development. The version of the motor we built for Toyota would get tested to a higher standard than the configuration for anyone else, because Toyota cared more than anyone else.
So, I observed that, any our next car purchase was a Toyota. 😂
Yep, I used to be in parts manufacturing, when North America was getting hammered by the Japanese companies. One car company demanded statistical process control and the other didn’t really care (yet).
win for toyota! i have a car with a 20 year old toyota motor and i'm surprised that it still sounds like a clock when i start it. i have no idea how they figured out how to manage something with explosions in it and friction and 2000/revolutions per minute.
i'm super excited about this NVDA/toyota chip deal. maybe Toyota has a chance to get into the self-driving future.
currently in Tesla's hometown, Waymo is in the lead in the self-driving race. about 2 months ago, driverless Waymos swarmed the streets. sometimes in the early mornings, they are the only things on the road.
apparently Tesla's are required to monitor driver vision to make sure driver's are looking at the road even while on self driving.
Yeah, Oma's station wagon is older than my kids. 😂
Toyota motors are awesome!
