true. i’ve lost the ability to think normal after years of software development, too 😄

but word of mouth will also do it’s thing. even though they don’t understand the protocol it will still become common knowledge that it’s smart to build on private/public keys. at least corporates will get it quick

It’s bad because you won’t own anything on a site with signup/login.

At sign up, you are just requesting to be recorded in some company's database.

On log in and usage of the service you’ll be asking for permission for everything you do.

Personally, I did not come to nostr because of a landing page. I’m here for the private/public key pair I get to own, and the growing number of stuff I can do with it.

I was tired of not owning my social connections and of worrying about when I’d be penalized next.

The experience on a phone cannot be evaluated apart from scrolling, so the first screen is not totally crucial. Different matter, however, for the desktop.

‘A better internet is possible. An internet that builds on the free and open internet that we were promised, giving us fairness, integrity and a way to freely exchange value with each other.

Actually, I need to add a immediately visible image on mobile.

Any other feedback?

Not really my point tho lol

somewhere between Gab and Bsky. I like that Gab has a "landing" page before throwing you in their view of the network. I like that bluesky shows you current activity.

The existence of “sign up” and “log in” buttons

Let them burn

A - except the GitHub link

A, B, or C - which is most welcoming, and least scary for someone looking to learn about nostr?

B. Though a newbie might not know what a protocol is.

Who knows a good libtertarian/bitcoiner ammo store to order from?

Yeah but this is my fault. I made the post through Ditto and this is my intended behavior, as a workaround for the fact I can't render these posts correctly in Ditto yet.

how do you highlight? 👍

now that i have found a way to silence the wifi on my connection, here is some clear demonstration of the benefits of not using wireless connections

my connection naked, via my ISP based in funchal:

and over my VPN, amusingly enough, connected automatically via morocco (which is one of the places cables go to from here, it's only 500km):

pleased to see that my kinda expensive VPS service does indeed do gigabit speeds and as such carries most of the capacity of my line through my VPS that i have here

seriously mad though, i mean, 500mbit download speed... who is even going to use that? that's more than you need for 4k video streaming...

it's no wonder i have no problems hosting my relay for testing on these connections... the one at my previous place though, it did not have this much speed download, i think it was around 200Mbit

so i pay 50 euro less per month, get almost perfect nature silence most of the time except when the dogs are barking at the cats around sunset, and occasionally cars drive past, and there is sometimes tourists wandering past on their way to the arco de sao jorge hiking trail, and i think some stray dogs do a patrol past here... and my internet is more than 2x faster

ok i've doubled my housing cost for 5 weeks but this is so much better

the sound of the creek down in the gully and the ebb and flow of the sound of the ocean smacking against the rocks is so soothing

Do we really need screenshots for very open, easy to fetch public data?

I wake up, there is another psyop the bitcoiners have fell for. Now it’s about a rodent. GM plebs.

why does everybody keep claiming the tools are rough? I am finding my client (voyage) very easy to use and quite delightful

I'm not sure I understand where the problem lies. That lnurlp url loads for me. Is it just that minibits can't get a payment off to our node?

Hmmm difficult. Npubs have a very complex checksum that is never used and very difficult for solid to compute. It also is the wrong check sum (segwit, instead of taproot, doh!). Npub would serve zero purpose here as we already have a nostr predicate. Likely hex public key which is the canonical hex pubkey as better. Npub is a mess of technical debt but is likely to stick around.
