Climate catastrophe peddlers pay nothing for being as wrong as can be.

“Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.”

Floated this question a few weeks back. Response was “its too difficult”.

Perhaps an indexer of public accounts that “disappear” e.g. weekly? I would suggest maybe this is opensats fundable as a lead generator for nostr, but I am not qualified for these type of suggestions.

Marketing angle: “iambannednowhat.com” intro to nostr with the censorship resistance use case front and center.

Nostr livens up your app, and let’s you have a chance of competing against the incumbents with network effects.

If you opt in it’s not David. It’s Davids vs Goliath.

If you don’t opt in — godspeed. nostr:note1nchsyg622x9kyjpnl9nu98e2rvp03fxa9ay7jef607qegpuy3cpqrvcq2v

> Nostr does not appear to be the place where feedback is welcome

???

I have opened and managed *thousands* of Damus issues, and hundreds to other nostr and FOSS projects.

Many are submitted via user feedback directly on nostr or other channels.

I have been doing this since January 2023.

I try as best as possible to jungle these suggesting to the limited dev resouces available.

Your assessment is disappointing to hear.

It is not a surprise however, as majority on nostr do not appreciate product contributions.

I’ll add that you present a strawman.

Disease X is cured by Y, and only “public healthcare” provides the cure.

I'll give it a shot 😉

The West has become US + western european countries in 1945 because US invaded and conquered Italy and Germany and took over the UK empire and what was left of France and the rest of european nations. All of them, in one form or the other. The eastern countries for obvious reasons just after 1990.

Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and so on are sovereign countries. Italy, Germany are not, or not completely at least. As is not Japan - which despite a very different history and ethnicity is sometimes considered part of the "collective west".

The West is really the "cultural" or "soft power" name for American Empire. As Nato is the military name. European Union is the legislative / economic facade of basically the same thing, plus the convenient "one phone number to call them all".

Nothing is indeed determined by race - or let alone religion. Both are just a tool used if and when needed, to project power.

Is not a cultural thing, but a "power" thing. US conquered most of europe in the past 80 years, because Europe for many reason was and still is the most important geographical area on the planet. The same thing cannot be said for south america which is why the current status quo in terms of US influence (or cultural assimilation) did not change and is not going to be in the coming decades. It's more than enough to keep the area in chaos enough so no regional power can emerge. This is one of the very few permanent US geo-strategic objectives, everywhere since almost forever. That's the reason why US did fought 2 WWs and one cold war to keep Europe from another power to take over (Germany, USSR or god-forbid a combination of the two) and is why is still fighting the proxy war in Ukraine today.

This is the only non-nonesense explanation I read in this thread.

Followed.

What was the latest bug you experienced on any nostr app?

Did you send feedback to the app dev?

If no, why not?

#asknostr

Have you met nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz nostr:note19hfcl0za2r3uyffe7zz0qmreznfvpffxh0hq2w44wxa2nfhanr4s9cjudt

-There’s an average of less than one dev per app

-VC funding and a team is an exception, not a rule (Nos social, Primal, and ??)

-Median nostr dev is unfunded

-Comparison is BigCo with billions of USD and thousands of devs, designers, product people and a decade head start

-All BigCo product(s) are either stand-alone single app, or a mostly in-company suite of products

-nostr has a unique permissionless nature - imagine the email protocol having 99 NIPs!

For single app bugs report to the app devs with nostr, or with github issues.

For multi-app bugs there is the #nostrability https://github.com/nostrability/nostrability/issues

Want to contribute to #Bitcoin FOSS development

But don't know where to start?

📢 Introducing Bitcoin Good First Issues!

A tool designed specifically for devs just entering bitcoin development.

https://bitcoindevs.xyz/good-first-issues

🤔 We know it’s hard to guess which projects to start with and what issues to tackle.

Bitcoin Good First Issues gathers beginner-friendly issues labelled Bug, Help Wanted, and (heh) Good First Issues.

It pulls them live for your from vetted Free Open Source Software projects.

🛠️ Why Give It a Go?

- Vetted Projects

- Easy Navigation

- Lowered Barrier to Entry

Whether you're just starting or already a developer, Bitcoin Good First Issues is built to accelerate your contributions.

Give it a roll and make a difference! Let’s build the future of bitcoin together.

We're looking forward to your feedback!

Nostr today is not even a drop in the bucket.

Let’s focus on non-consumers of nostr, who are presumably human, and have each their own preferences on what app they’ll use!

Efficient or decentralized. Choose wisely

Mayhe I am misremembering - I think there was a regression and nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf fixed in 1.9.

I can readily find Jack, who I follow, in profile search.

Amazon, cable TV, chatgpt, Disney, facebook, google, netflix, corporate news (NYT, economist etc) twitter, youtube..

vs

FOSS dev, btc dev, independent & investigative journalists (direct, or via substack, patreon..), nostr dev, signal, simplex…

How much do you spend on each on a monthly basis in dollars? In dollars + time watching ads?

This is how totalitarians use lists.

The silver lining is that there are quite a few non-bootlicking folk and organizations that don’t lick the current ruling class’ boots.

nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 my mute list was rugged again. I’m wondering if it’s just getting rugged at a certain time interval or something.

Did you run another app?

How sanctions work:

1) virtue signal

2) apply “sanctions” - i.e. ban trade with 🇷🇺

3) oligarchs, and middlemen profit

4) exporters and their goods become less competitive

Thanks for that note! I think it makes sense to track how apps interact with relays on nostrability as well, as this affects the end user experience.

In this case queries are rejected, which seems like an unhappy path.
