maybe in the pass women were unable to equal men on potential damage by force. Today that's not the case, but that doesn't change their nature to not use violence ?

that made me reflect about a current reality in Argentina.

Violent crime is rising and whenever any TV reporter starts asking people close to a murder scene in general women demand the state to do "something" about it, while men are divided with some saying some form of "We need to kill them all (the criminals)" and some "The state has to protect us"

also most cases of self defense that end with the criminals death come from Older (50+ yo) men

Best explanation with little bias to what the short term and long term consequences of the US tariff

Only problem is that it's only on Spanish.

change deplatforming Trump for "tariff on everything"

the exporter country doesn't even paid a penny.

it causes a cost on them, but not in having to pay the US, but in potential lower exports thus lower income.

if your goal is to hurt a trade channel it works, but it can be a double edge sword

it doesn't even "help" the local production, it just gives them a subsidy by hurting their competitors. But once there's no competitor why wouldn't they just charge more?

it can work, but ppl should be aware that tariff are just an increase in Sale Tax that apply to goods base on where they come from instead of what type of good it's.

it's just sales tax with more steps that only apply to foreign goods

but that on the long run since it removes competition also ends up causing higher local prices for local goods

even more if you tax inputs for local production that cannot be sourced locally

it wouldn't be fair to call it Meta's work

it's open source, so a LOT of ppl worked on it

it was created by Meta, but since they made it open source Pandora's box cannot be turned back.

US centralized attempt at AI failed, hope they review their approach before it burns them even more

The introduction of badges changed Reddit for me. The psychological need to continue using Reddit to continue my daily streak is strong.

I noticed this after the first few badges. 5 days 10, 20, 30, etc. I wanted to keep going because I was getting notifications that I was completing something special.

After earning a couple badges, I found myself forcing myself to use Reddit every day just to keep my streak alive. Then, badges started to become more rare in quality as the streak day count increased. I wanted to collect them all! I wanted to see if I could earn the legendary ones. 365 days? 500 days? Hell yeah!

I don't particularly care about Reddit all that much. Most days I'd be fine just reading. I don't need to upvote or downvote. Or at least I thought I didn't? Badges changed that for me.

I see this with my children, especially my daughter. Her and her friends all use Snapchat to communicate. She cares about keeping her streaks alive with friends. It's a silly little indicator in Snapchat, just like Reddit, that keeps pulling people back in.

I know that we all recognize the issues with legacy social media. I know these tactics are meant to keep bringing us back, so that the algorithms can keep us enraged and engaged, to steal our attention. We can do better!

It's no secret that user retention is horrible across the Nostr ecosystem. Could a Nostr client implement something similar to these streak badges without the negative aspects to keep people coming back? Definitely.

Nostr doesn't have evil algorithms. (Someone could build one though. It's an open protocol!) I believe a developer could implement a similar feature to draw people back into their application. We have a badges spec. The badge could be automatically assigned and displayed on the user profile as their engagement increases.

I guess technically this doesn't even need to be implemented by a specific client. Someone could essentially write a DVM for this, right? This would be a large task though. The DVM could use the nostr.band API or search.nostr.wine API or something similar to do this and assign these streak badges automatically across "all of Nostr" or even just a specific set of relays. Relay operators could implement something such as this too. It's all possible.

Thoughts?

idk i just use reddit daily cause i like some subreddits

if it wasn't for those particular communities i wouldn't use it

similar with nostr i only use it to read some of the communities i like that also exist whiting it.

youtube is almost the same since i stopped using their website and only use Freetube with zero algorithms

i come back for particular ppl or communities

The recipe came from European settlers so it's hard to track down where it all started. Most likely Spanish introduced them in all cities from the colonial era and it spread around all latin america, but each region makes them a bit differently and prefers certain types more than others.

where i'm from the most common is:

-ground beef, onions, garlic, red pepper all cooked on a frying pan with salt. While the empanada is baked or fried.

-ham and cheese, baked or fried.
