Momentum is building to "child-proof" the internet by requiring social media age verification. It appears likely that a combination of legislative action and immense political pressure on tech companies over the next 2-3 years will lead to what amounts to a Digital ID for virtually any website where users interact with each other. Online anonymity will become vanishingly rare.

This is one way Nostr becomes a final refuge for those seeking surveillance-free, unmediated communication.

Apple’s going to allow sideloading of apps on to iOS but with lots of limitations.

The app developer has to be in the EU, the user has to be in the EU, they’ve got to have been an apple app developer for over 2 years, and to have over a million installs of your app. Plus a ton of other requirements…. This is the definition of malicious compliance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malicious_compliance

Did anyone actually expect Apple to welcome sideloading with open arms, and a smile?

40mb is quite a lot for a note taking app. I prefer something smaller

I use Joplin because its lightweight and straight forward to use. Plus it being available on both android and desktop is a bonus.
