Stumbling around

meaningful work is less "work" and you gain more than money

Lantern, a browser extension for highlighting and annotating webpages: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lantern/jjoijlenmgefkaeiomoaelcljfibpcgh

This is very hard to do but it actually works since it is a fork of the long-established hypothes.is extension, only changed to be compatible with NIP-84 and NIP-73. Thanks nostr:npub1dejts0qlva8mqzjlrxqkc2tmvs2t7elszky5upxaf3jha9qs9m5q605uc4 for the initial forking work.

Here it is rendering an annotation made by nostr:npub1xsp9fcq340dzaqjctjl7unu3k0c82jdxc350uqym70k8vedzuvdst562dr somewhere else I have no idea where:

It even works on PDFs:

Even though it works it definitely has bugs, so bug reports are appreciated (by "bug report" I mean just replying here). Thank you.

Looks intriguing. Do you know Zotero? If not you may find it interesting to take a look

Thanks for the link. Interesting, but it doesn't explain why Bluesky is not decentralized. Is there a central entity deciding which are the allowed nodes in the network?

A user can be banned from a nostr relay. But nobody can prevent you from running your own relay. Are you banned from the whole bluesky protocol, or from a specific "node" (or whatever the bluesky terminology is)?

Yes

Yes as in yes it's DINO?

Is bluesky decentralized in name only (DINO), or does it have a similar permissionlessness as #nostr? #asknostr

Do you mean that Apple does not have to import an iPhone made in Shenzhen to sell it in the US?

Also, I'm seeing surprisingly little (or no) discussion about how the US exports inflation to all countries. Trade imbalance, ok, but if you print dollars to import stuff and then dollars devalue as a result, the exporter has lost a good chunk (along with all the USD and US treasury holders)

I care because of Metcalfe's law, and I care because I want more/most people to use non-captured networks. That's why I think diagnosing stagnant growth (and identifying bottlenecks) is important. But I'm glad you're satisfied with #nostr as it is.

Getting absolute numbers might be quite difficult in a decentralized network, but I still think it would be good to have estimates of growth. If we are plateauing we should know about it, and investigate the reasons for it. You mention that nostr can't deliver the value of a social network, what do you mean by that?

should I learn rust or zig?
