I think the difference is that softwares are developed and tested against the windows translation layer. Then open source community try to recreate this layer on linux in a open source way. In the long run it probably will become better and more powerful than the windows one, but it needs time and more problem are expected in the first iterations.

I agree with you, but I dont think lack of development on one front can be justified by some work happening on the other front.

I think all the scalability model of linux desktop is broken, you cant have a stable, clean and secure desktop environment by hiding to user the processes under the hood and adding layers over layers of complexity and GUIs.

I hack frequently with wayland and X and I think they either can be just so simple and so good, all the problems I find are in the unnecessary garbage on upper layers.

kde and gnome are overcomplex softwares that cant be not-bugged, try a simple minimal wlroots based compositor like dwl

use monero has actually more fees because if you want hold bitcoin that is the only scarce digital asset that have sense to exist and to hold you need to:

1) swap bitcoin to monero

2) use monero (low fees)

3) swap monero to bitcoin when you exceed the amount you are willing to loose in a monero wallet

This pattern is like what you do when you use ligthning but the fees are lower because swapping cross chain is more costly and problematic than open a channel.

Also with lightning you have real bitcoin (even if in a "more risky situation" compared to onchain) and so you dont suffer price depreciation of the shitcoin.

they are socialists, they hate it, stallman was upset by how credit cards was spying on it with non-free software but couldnt accept to use crypto (was a talk aboit monero tbh) because "then rich people will not pay taxes".

hey I have a good way to demonstrate you are the real elon you can zap me some millions...

its because it needs to be a zap superior to 10 sats or it will fail.

bitcoin is digital freedom, fiat system is digital prison. Kyc is enforced in the digital prison and, in particular, in its exit/entry.

Kyc has nothing to do with bitcoin, and agree that kyc bitcoin wallet is an oxymoron.

Even if you want to trade physical fiat cash to digital fiat you will experience pretty the same kyc problem in my region. Kyc ends with the end of fiat.

fully agree, but apps like strike could be useful to during the transition to a full bitcoin standard.

Not in replace of a real bitcoin wallet, but in replace of a legacy banking app.

At least it permit to swap convenintly some fiat to sats and to zap around, thats a value if you are still obligated to manage a fiat money-identity.

Replying to Avatar Keychat

The current version of Keychat uses a seed phrase instead of nsec. This has caused a lot of controversy, with many people believing that Keychat does not understand the spirit of Nostr: having a single Nostr ID that is universally used across all Nostr apps.

In fact, the first version of Keychat used nsec. Later, we intentionally switched to seed phrases. Why?

Just like when we use Bitcoin wallets, we now more often use seed phrases rather than private keys. Using a seed phrase is an improvement in user experience. Moreover, NIP-6 defines the basic key derivation from mnemonic seed phrases. A single seed phrase can derive countless Nostr IDs.

Using a single Nostr ID across various Nostr apps focused on public notes is reasonable because users are sending public messages, and they can better accumulate reputation.

However, for Nostr apps focused on private notes, users should use multiple IDs to achieve better privacy. For example, you could use ID1 for close friends and ID2 for work colleagues. Current chat applications provided by internet giants do not encourage users to use multiple IDs simultaneously because multiple IDs affect data mining, reducing the accuracy of user profiling and, consequently, advertising revenue. In this context, using only one ID is a bug, not a feature.

If you use your Damus ID to chat with others on a Nostr app that focuses on private messaging, do you want all those people to see the public notes you have posted?

A seed phrase that is universally applicable to all Nostr apps allows users to choose which ID to use in a particular app, with the ID generated from the seed phrase. This is far better than using a single Nostr ID across all Nostr apps.

Don't forget, there are not only Nostr apps focused on public notes but also those focused on private notes.

A reasonable chat app allows users to use multiple IDs simultaneously, whereas a microblogging app’s DM often has only one ID. This is just one of the differences between the two. When we say, "Designing a DM for a microblogging app is not the same as designing a chat app," we are not playing with words; we are not that bored.

this is so clever
