Where’d you get that?

Very cool! How can i try it?

People today that judge public figures of the past based on the standards of today (ie Thomas Jefferson had slaves and is therefore irredeemable) are so blind to the fact they themselves are, in all likelihood, enjoying the fruits of slave labor for their own lifestyles.

At least apple is recognizing bitcoin as money.

I’ve heard from developers that web apps are slow and don’t work as well as apps from the app store. Is there any truth to that?

I can’t imagine it will be worth it. “Supplements” are just poorly regulated drugs and often have inconsistent quantities of whatever the active ingredient is.

At one point a few people (namely Madison and Hamilton if I’m remembering correctly) pushed hard for a amendment to better define how the electoral congress functioned, but it was abandoned after Hamilton died. Now presidential elections are just a popularity contest with the contestants hand picked by the most loud and extreme from both sides.

Think about how “bipartisan” committees work. Let’s say there’s a committee of 10. So they’ll say “in order to make sure the committee is balanced we’ll make it rule that 5 members must be Democrats and 5 members must be Republicans.” Sounds great until you realize they are literally entrenching the parties into the system to the point where the mere concept of anyone from outside those two parties have any power or influence is laughably improbable.

The biggest screw up of the constitution was leaving the election system and the pricess of legislation vague. In their attempt to leave party politics out of the constitution, they ended up letting these systems get co-opted by the two major parties. It has just gotten worse and worse over time to the point where the two parties completely control the entire election process, and so of course they build into those systems incentives to reinforce the strengthening of that power.

Can it be improved?

I keep hearing one group say “web apps fixes this!” and another says “web apps suck and there’s too many limitations on what you can do on them to make them good…”

I have no idea which side is right though. Conceptually it seems like web apps fixes the problem, but I have never coded and app so I have absolutely no idea how to gauge the feasibility of that.

Also, I guess if apple wanted to they could still practically block apps on their phones by making it so the functions needed to have a certain app like nostr aren’t available on the ios safari app. Not sure how feasible that is for apple, but seems like it would be simple to me.

I’ve actually never heard that term before. Is it regional or did you make it up? Sounds like something out of Futurama.

Farnsworth: Don’t do that Fry or you’re liable to get borked!

Fry: Borked? What’s that mean.

Farsnworth: *shutters* *squints eyes* you don’t want to know…

Did apple bork you? Show us on the protocol where they borked you.
