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)?
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?
Can somebody tell me what tariffs apply to an iPhone made in Shenzhen and sold in the US, and to an iPhone made in Shenzhen and sold in China?
If you zoom out the yen has been tanking vs the dollar

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)
so firefox is now basically Zen browser with ChatGPT integration? am i getting this right? https://assets.mozilla.net/video/whatsnew/wnp-137-en-high-res-v2.webm
Dunno, I dumped Firefox for Zen/Brave when they started doing shady stuff with user data
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.
"We" is all of #nostr
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?
I don't really have a project in mind, just for learning
should I learn rust or zig?
