FWIW, I think deletions on Nostr are a "meh" idea and edits are a bad idea. Consider the following:

- It's an additional layer of complexity. Nostr should arguably be simpler and it's already more complex in some ways centralized platforms are not.

- Different relays will disagree on whether to accept the edit or the delete event, so the original note may stay available. It may also become apparently unavailable and then available again in the future. Someone could send the old version to relays you don't use.

- Unlike some specific features like articles, zaps and whatever one can think of, it only makes sense if consistently implemented, but that's something we can only assume to be true of NIP-01.

- It makes retrieving a note less efficient. You now need to wait a response from all relays, just in case one of them has a deletion or a modification the first one to reply doesn't have.

- There is value in having modifications, but there is also value in having platforms that don't allow modifications, IMO, where an ID truly identifies a specific piece of text and nothing else. Now that Twitter allows modifications, Nostr can use the fact that it doesn't to diversify itself so as to convince users to use both (otherwise the network effect plays against Nostr).

On centralized platforms which allow modifications, users sometimes write a post with the plan of modifying it later. On Nostr that would be a bad pattern, however and I think the modification features can lead to bad usage of Nostr and, therefore, a bad user experience.

Ultimately it will prevail if clients and relays implement it and fail otherwise, but I'm not in favor of it.

I'm happy that I turned my back on Apple a decade ago.

Wanna know how bad Apple is? We built a location based app on iOS.

Our GPS location functions were 100% app-side. Meaning when our app needed the user's location for a function, that location was never sent to our servers. On-device code handled that location. We never saw it. Ever.

We also never logged locations anywhere. Not even on user's device. Any GPS positions were deleted the second the function finished using it.

What does Apple do? They start showing our users the screen below.

A screen with all logged location pings, like we were spying on users. Except we weren't even logging past location usage. We couldn't produce this logged data if a gun was put to our head. The only way for those pings to have been logged is if APPLE logged them. Either on device, or even worse, on APPLE's servers.

So we build the most responsible location handling we know possible.

And Apple sends our users a scary alarm, smearing us, posing as some safeguard of GPS data. All while APPLE was the one logging this location data, and therefore putting it at risk. Or using it for who knows what else.

We never built another iOS app after that.

China: “Remove all VPNs”

Apple: “Sure thing”

China: “…and podcast apps”

Apple: “Can do boss!”

China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens”

Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”

Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”

Fuck #Apple

FWIW I've never had mega-haters on a project I've built. Built many. I've had:

-Disciple-like lovers

-Totally uninterested

-Eager for more

If a project has excessive haters, or total lack of interest; us builders should be asking ourselves: "Are we building an actual solution to a problem? Or are we solving a problem that doesn't exist?"

Agree with builder encouragement. Disagree with enabling bad building.

The negativity you'll immediately experience as soon as a project catches on can be depressing and it's one of the reasons why some people can't emotionally deal with building in the open.

Most successful projects have their personal cult of haters that keep harassing the developers. I've experienced this myself. It is what it is. The haters will hate. The builders will build.

Please be mindful about this and encourage the builders around you if you like what they're doing. Even a small comment goes a long way.

There seems to be a demand for Render product. I haven’t mined Render. From my understanding you build a rig that will be used by others for AI or Rendering things.

So it’s basically a platform that you get your computational power rented and you get paid in $RNDR.

Since I have AMD cards I cannot participate.

It is however in my plans to build a dedicated rig with Nvidia to be used for AI and computational work.
