Sometimes the state of mobile devices really, really gets me down. We let big tech convince us all this stuff had to be different 'cause performance', but now, devices are just as powerful as laptops and yet can't install standard gnu/OSS stuff without nightmares of hoops to jump through and browsers are all closed source etc. What a setback for personal compute.. all for what? So that we can take good photos and scroll photos.. I can't even get my sister to send me a video she took of me cause iPhone vs. Android and she can't figure it out cause 'iphone is so simple just works'. FML.

Not to mention the headache of how much development effort it takes to reach an audience that uses mobile (which is everyone). Feels like an insurmountable task to create 'an app'. Because you need two apps, or >half of the world won't use what you create. PWAs may be the answer but they too have many hurdles to clear because they can't come close to native performance and heavily depend on web servers.

Anyway, thats my rant. How bout you?

All I see is a falling star.

Good riddance to this goob 🤓

🔥 EPIC ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥

New Look, New Pricing, New Products 🫡

=====

We have been hard at work with a new version of relaying.io !

Excited to announce the following changes are now live:

1. We launched a high powered, high availability public relay. Anyone can connect at:

wss://public.relaying.io ✅

2. You can now import all your old notes to your private relay in one click!

3. We have lowered our pricing from $9/mo to $7/mo for the basic relay. Now way cheaper than a blue check, which is the benchmark.

4. All relays have a minimum of 2 vCPUs. We've also been tuning configurations and now only support strfry. This greatly improves performance and stability and allows us to focus on the fastest relay implementation for our clients.

5. All of our existing customers have their relays extended a year from today. Meaning all your service up to now is on us 😎. We will also be sending you a $25 rebate to account for the lower prices now.

Launch your own private relay today: relaying.io

Is more or less relays better?

What the sweet spot?

A butthurt Mastodon user reported one of my toots that refuted a claim that Bitcoin is a scam.

But here's the thing: I'm a sovereign Mastodon user. I admin my own server (lopp.social).

After a thorough investigation I have determined that I followed my own rules! 🤣

That depends on what you think the fee will be at the time you plan to spend. If hyperbitcoinization happened today, how many UTXOs would be stranded?

Plebs must consolidate UTXOs over time to ensure they don't become so small in value that they are effecritively unspendable as the average fee goes up with demand.

In this way, #Bitcoin is not actually free to hold: there is maintenance "fees" and a manual cognitive cost to users for ensuring most their value remains spendable.

If you love freedom tech, Android is undoubtedly the best choice for you. Even web browsing is better on Android due to iOS WebKit restrictions. #Android

Just the idea that 2 plus jobs are needed to support a middle class family instead of 1ish 1 persons lifetime empirically concludes we are in a massive inflationary event.
