This. Even if Nostr issues are completely solved, there are still tons of other issues with mobile platforms. Complete lack of privacy is probably the biggest issue, but there are also many limitations and controls on what you can and can't do with phones. The fact is, you are paying for a computer+radios that you don't really own and have very little control over. Android + GrapheneOS is a partial solution, but it's difficult and there are still issues with the base hardware. There is no easy solution in the mobile space and it's not clear that anyone really wants one.
The whole concept of the iPhone (and Android) violates the core design principals of discoverability and predictability. The screens are too small to display the necessary info and the input methods are too clumsy to be really good. I only use phones when there isn't a real computer available.
Most people don't know this either. If you ask they will answer 'AT&T ' or the government or some other centralized entity.
For those who don't know: The Internet is a real life functioning anarchy. This doesn't mean it's complete chaos or that there are no rules. There are rules, but not laws for the most part. Rules are enforced by individual Internet companies based on what is best for them and the network. Every router, server, switch and wire is owned by a private company and they interact based on a combination of public protocols (TCP/IP) and private peering agreements. This works mostly because people are free to leave or switch providers/partners at any time. It does rely on being able to fall back on contract law and courts, however, so it's not a pure anarchy. It is completely decentralized, though.
You can do this with many Android phones and a bit of work. There are several projects that completely replace the software the phone comes with, including some that are all open source.
Money is just a tool... and I know how to handle my tool.
Bitcoin CEO: "Apple tried to ban themselves from Bitcoin, too. How's that working out?"
well there's nostr:npub1zpzv0cv30e443rj3aae56d29hmf8staaghn93d08lyfvfdedy88q2vpy3a
It's got a blue check, so it's definately him.
The fact that the fed sets rates at all is bullish for Bitcoin.
That's completely rediculous. Zaps can be smaller than a penny.
What's that, Other Berry? You want to end Fiat? Well okay.
They will figure it out soon enough. Then you will be free to use iNoster and pay the 30% Apple tax yourself.
It's cool. Still useful to know and there are lots of new ppl around today.
By 'naked' I meant links that don't have a description or any kind of hint about where they go or why I might want to see them.
Seems like Apple users should be able to start a class action against Apple for trying to control what they do with their rediculiously overpriced phones. I don't see how Apple can legally prevent people from installing whatever software they want. A judge could force Apple to add some way for people to install software outside of their app store.
