True, but you can still buy standard Lego sets.
The fear of something like this happening is one of the key reasons why I quit using Apple products. Of course, the main reason was the short life cycle of products - you are urged to constantly upgrade your products, and sooner than later they're flagged obsolete. 20 years ago there was no viable alternative besides the Windows nightmare. But currently Linux is a whole world of peace and joy, and this is specially true for developers.
Has anyone noticed some unusual lagging in nostr lately?
This is like jailing a weapon manufacturer instead of the murderer
I'm quite close to agreeing with you. I can only imagine two good reasons to change the UI:
1. Fixes - the need to add, remove or change something to fix a bug or an objectively wrong detail.
2. Evolution - noticing that all similar apps have done that change and you're phasing out.
Any other subjective reason to change puts users in a perception of randomness.
The huge sense of freedom within both the Blockchain and nostr can be a bit overwhelming sometimes in the fact that this freedom is used for illegal activities, to hide obscure businesses, or any sort of criminal planning. There's been a lot of hype about the inevitable need of forking Bitcoin, and the risk this would bring to stackers. But this cannot take us back to a centralized auditing instance. No way. That would destroy the very essence and motivation of a decentralized system. Perhaps we should think of some sort of a social badge, maybe by a new NIP, with a neutral color, zero by default, which could get gradually warmer by adding negative votes, and colder with positive votes. It would be like zaps, but for reputation. I know this sort of ideas would bring me a bunch of red votes, but sorry I can't stop thinking around this purple and orange pills, I can't get rid of this mind-blowing new paradigm, and about all the actual, and potential goodness enclosed. I personally understand there's nothing illegal in decentralized communication as a system. Same with decentralized value management, it should be compatible with honest taxing, and legal business. The big thing is who we trust, an institution, a business owner, a central bank, the whole society? The bigger the decision group, is necessarily better? It is a fact that one protocol came from Satoshi (whoever it may be), and the other from nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. We trust them because they open sourced, and therefore we believe the code is a social heritage. But all this is beyond the code, it's a whole new mindset, a treasure we want to preserve and polish, and since it's connected with real value, it's the closest to a dream come true.
We as free individuals can choose what we do, and whether the reason is moral or simply logical. There's no hierarchy in that, you're not superior depending on your choice. I love my kids, but would be perfectly fine otherwise. I would simply do other stuff, and would probably take more risks. As simple as that
True. That's the main reason for using Phoenix: clean, easy, and effective. All the magic happens under the hood. Perhaps the only drawback is the slightly higher fee when compared to other wallets.
If we agree that the last resort, or perhaps the critical point, in decentralized communication is staying connected in an eventual failure of Internet, then we should make sure nostr works on an alternative mesh, such as the reticulum network. I've seen a couple bridging projects on GitHub, but as usual, everything feels so alpha...
I publish something.
There is an article.
I make a minor edit & press save.
Now there’s two articles.
😐🔫
Same happened to me. That's how it works. You better release your article later. Let it cool for a day or two.
It's your own merit, it's all in your experience, your ability to emphasize, and embrace difficulty. Some call it emotional intelligence, but you can call it God, if you want.
There's very few things left to make you feel truly free. Besides driving through the woods on a driveway, or going off-road on plane mode. One way is avoiding platforms -- i.e. using @yakihonne. The other is hodling your crypto #nostr #rawyakihonne
They call it loving oneself, but it's more about knowing yourself, and taking others' interactions with a critical point of view, embracing reality with a smile, and building a sense of comfort within mediocrity. They call it building a defensive barrier against others, but it's rather finding the greatness in human imperfection, which is what makes every single person unique. We can call it beauty, the perfect balance of imperfection
Not if you're refurbishing or reviving an old, unbearably slow windows system or a road-ended Mac, and suddenly discover it's still a usable computer. Being born in a humble environment is sometimes a privilege
Not sure if Nostr is the best decentralized multipurpose protocol out there, not sure if it will some day become mainstream and will serve for other content besides crypto and sovereignty, but there's a long way done and still a long way to do. Keep it up #plebs!
Interesting point of view. Scaring scenario, but surprisingly the fact is it seems like all this is not leading to any misuse. Still not widely spread, and used for an internal reflection on crypto and sovereign procedures, altogether exciting and promising. nostr:naddr1qqgxvde3xuunvv3eve3nsdt9v5enjq3q4hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhssxpqqqp65wdn9ytt
