Id bet this is more about ad revenue (to unblock accounts that pay to promote ads) than anything sane.
Because its all guesswork based on accelerometer data and heart rate. Each maker insists they have some proprietary way to improve accuracy because they need to put on an air of exceptionalism. We cant have open standards for most things because of patents, copyrights, statist mentality of enforcement which slows down progress.
Agree for the most part. I use Mate (Marco window manager) which is basically Gnome 2 before the bloat. Strikes a nice balance between very basic and too much fluff eating CPU cycles
Without looking, which of the following is NOT on the bip39 word list
- boy
- female
- girl
- male
- man
- woman
Just the beginning
I managed to get it fixed enough so I can boot up and into Ubuntu Mate without first going into recovery mode
Lets everyone buy him a drink!
Actually yeah I agree on fountain being able to convert to nostr for some of its app content
- boosts
- comments
- prefs ( followed shows, boost and stream settings )
The podcast content itself stays hosted where it is in binary form along with data in RSS feeds
Streaming sats probably wouldnt make sense to route through nostr as it wouldnt add value, and would be bad for relays
the nostr protocol is very basic. nostr consists of authentication and sending data to and receiving data from decentralized servers.
when you think about how most of the apps on your phone function, you'll realize that at their basic levels, they just authenticate a user and send data to and receive data from a central server.
the Other Stuff part of the N*OS*TR acronym lives here.
should everything be rebuilt upon nostr? no, probably not. could a large portion of the top 100 apps on your favorite app store be rebuilt with nostr in mind? absolutely.
eventually, we'll reach a critical mass point where developers and entities will want to do this, because when they do, they'll automatically have millions of potential users for their brand new application. this is powerful.
what's one application that you can't live without? could it be rebuilt on nostr? if so, are you willing to pay for it? have you submitted a bounty for it yet over at https://nostrbounties.com ?
Wireguard.. I cant live without that and no way could that be rebuilt with nostr.
Clock.. doesnt (shouldnt) be sending data to servers, but possible for storage of lightweight preferences. Id want that to be encrypted.
Assorted apps reading REST based json APIs, some GRPC. These also wouldnt work well via nostr due to protocol bloat. That includes apps like Fountain for podcasts.
On the flip side, apps that need some authentication to identify would benefit by using nostr login vs email addresses or as an option in many cases. But bear in mind, the more data you tie to a single pubkey, the more that is collated about your life and behavioral network usage patterns. So thats a double edged sword
Tried and failed at 23. Thanks for the reminder. I need to do this more regularly.
Might have resolved by uninstalling amdgpu and letting the amd radeon driver work
Before

After

Recovery seems to be the only way to get to UI desktop due to some driver crappola. AMD doesnt seem to work with all kernel versions either.
I get good images on the screens prompting for yubikey.
Ctrl+Alt+F1 gets me to command line at least. Definitely video issue with the driver. Wish I could have an easy way to revert
Just looking at this im craving it minus the foliage
