Acabei de testar e foi.

Enquanto isso, tem uns sobreviventes lá perguntando se ainda tem alguém.

Code is poetry.

good code is poetry

bad code is vogon poetry

💯 it is certainly an art in its own right 😂🫂

I'm an engineer. While the assignments I get imply that people like my work, pretty much all of it goes in the trash for one reason or another. I'm always fascinated by artists who refer to their creations as their children or the like.

Similar thing being a dev building stuff that nobody uses lol

this man low time preferences

One of the hardest parts of being an artist is realizing that most people out there don’t love what you create the way you love it. Accepting that, letting go of ever expecting it, and creating what you love anyway is one of the most liberating things you can do for yourself, for your art, and for the people who actually do love it.

It seems that it will be very hard for Brazil to identify and enforce the fines on VPN usage for Twitter/X. But it’s a powerful scare tactic.

When the United States banned gold ownership in the1930s (which lasted for four decades all the way into the 1970s btw), they didn’t really enforce it at the household level. They just had large prison terms that were rarely ever applied, which effectively dried up liquidity in the gold market.

Some people have pointed out that Nostr relays could be blocked by Brazilian internet providers if Nostr was big enough to matter. However, more relays could spin up, so they’d have to keep adding to the list.

Brazil’s government could then say it’s illegal to use VPNs for any Nostr app around internet censoring. The defense against that is to make Nostr as ubiquitous as possible. The more apps that tie into Nostr in some way, the harder it is to ever ban it in practice. Some people might not even know their favorite app uses Nostr. Imagine if everyone’s favorite short form app, long form app, podcasting app, reviews app, wallet app, recipes app, picture app, music app, and tons of other stuff are tied into Nostr, and how hard that would be to ban.

If Nostr becomes big enough to really matter, it’s because it’ll be tied into so many different things. That’s super powerful. And the devs keep building rapidly.
