I hate indies devs bragging about how much optimization they did in their games. Bro, that's something you should work on by default.

Reason #522 to not accept anything for free:

If it sucks, you can’t complain.

I was thinking, considering what happened with Steam in regards to that last game with the malware and similar other stories in the past, how can I have a security review system for games in DEGA, considering its decentralized permissionless and there's the idea that it will still run even if the company and team goes under?

I tried thinking about this in the past, but nothing came up. But now the idea hit me: A decentralized marketplace of security reviews.

This would result in more security reports, higher level of security, less chances of corruption, multiple fail safes, much higher efficiency, no lag time before release (no bureaucracy), and no reliance on the store hub (DEGA) to handle all of this, there would be security reviews for the game build and all updates, and this would create more economic activity for this type of work.

I'll be updating the design (still working on it, slowly but surely) to have this type of system for the game store page and other relevant pages.

I think everyone should take the DSi and the Switch Lite as the standard for portability. I know that with portable PCs you can’t really shrink them much, but I don’t feel comfortable walking around with those huge devices on the street (maybe for travel), I prefer my portability to be small. I’m even thinking about picking up a PS Vita Slim, because it looks great despite the drifting issues and the worse screen. For phones I would only go back to playing on it if I buy a nice controller like the Elo Vagabond, I'm really picky with my controllers lol.

I asked my family about this n apparently it was already known not to take Tylenol during pregnancy, I’m sure they didn’t do it bc of autism scare but interesting how they already knew it was bad..

I want one, kind want to retire my 3DS. The problem of it being too big is very common among modern portables.

I’m sorry for those who liked it, but I’m glad the era of splitting gaming series between portable and console titles is over, and I’m damn glad the era of treating mobiles as an alternative to portables never caught on

Been a long day of DLing/TFing files to my newly acquired Desktop Gaming PC. Though I was able to install one of the 1 TB HDDs it’s still nowhere near enough space for what I want to play now or in the future. I may need to reconsider what stays on/comes off. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #damusgaming

Tried to recreate some customized meme templates with AI, but it keeps showing my left ear even when I tell it not to. Pretty bearish on the AI overlord scenario coming anytime soon.

Anyway, how's your Saturday going?

Starting the PSP version of Legend of Heroes/Eiyuu Densetsu today. I played before, but never finished it. Wish me luck. #estellebright #gamestr #animestr

Nostr will fail to the extent that people can't tell an impersonator from the real thing. The number of reports I get about my impersonator indicates to me that nostr is failing. But it doesn't have to be this way! Web of trust fixes this.

Let's play a game of "spot the impersonator". I created a fresh impersonator account with a valid NIP 05 from nostrplebs and all the same profile data. I didn't bother to clone my notes or create a bunch of sock puppet followers, but that could easily be done, and would improve the resemblance.

Coracle:

Pretty good if I do say so myself. Social trust is shown in two separate ways: web of trust indicator and followers tab (although followers is not complete or sybil resistant).

0xchat:

Exactly the same, other than NIP 05 address, which I don't consider any sort of validation at all. This is a classic phishing maneuver, and recently allowed nostr:nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7am0wsh82arcduhx7mn99uqjzamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwd5xzamw09jkzem9wghxxmmd9a5kucn00qqjqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwd5xzamw09jkzem9wghxxmmd9a3ksct5qy38wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndpshwmnev4skwetj9e3k7mf0da6hgcn00qqjxamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwd5xzamw09jkzem9wghxxmmd9ac8y6tkv96x2qpqclk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrqlg4lcf's impersonator to trick some people.

Yakihonne:

Some social indicators are shown, but are not sybil resistant. They're also down the page a bit, and might not be noticed by users.

Jumble:

No social proof indicated at all — the tabs at the bottom can easily be faked by the impersonator.

Nostter:

No social proof, and failed to validate the NIP 05 for the real user.

Nostrudel:

Nostrudel does something original in showing the public key color. But how often are you going to memorize a user's color? I'd argue this is even worse than nothing because it obscures the NIP 05, which _might_ tip you off.

Iris:

Iris shows wot-vetted "known followers", which is good. In other places, a wot-based check mark is shown next to user avatars. This should probably be added to the profile page too, but still, pretty good.

Amethyst:

Amethyst shows some social proof, but it's hard to tell exactly what those profile pictures mean.

Primal:

Like yakihonne, social proof is visible, but not sybil-resistant.

Let's take a look at search now. Some clients do a much better job at this, some do a MUCH worse job.

Coracle:

WOT indicators, correct sorting, complete results. Arguably, the impersonators should be filtered out entirely, but I personally prefer to have them included.

Jumble:

Same thing, minus WOT indicators. Not bad.

Nostrudel:

It's a pass, but I'm not sure if duplicates are filtered out on purpose or not. The check marks indicate NIP 05 validation, not wot validation.

Yakihonne:

Only shows the legit version, along with a badge (I'm unsure if it's NIP 05 or something else). Pretty good.

Iris:

Very limited results, WOT-based check, pretty good.

Primal:

Eliminates impersonators, show follower count, pretty good (though not sybil resistant in all cases).

The winners are Iris and Coracle for web of trust indicators, and Primal and Yakihonne in the "global view of the network" category. I'd love to see this get better though, and not just because I am now famous enough to have an impersonator. WOT calculations are low-hanging fruit, especially with the vertex DVM by nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyt8wumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpzemhxue69uhk6mr9dd6juun9v9k8jtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uqzpa5rapcrtaadfazwpwvvl0v4xlskg4df9nfcem7yevcaka2h7hhjm9zju5 around. Getting this right is a core value proposition of nostr and is worth the effort.

I wasn't expecting to see this x3

Someone said:

"tldr: kid wanted to meet internet gf. parents said no. he killed them and his 2 year old brother.

like everything in brazil, they searched a videogame to put blame, and they found the kid played this one"

What’s a no-coiner meal? 😂

I bet most people don’t care if their currency is devalued. Most probably don’t even know why money loses value. And the majority of those probably don’t even think about devaluation in those terms - instead, they just see things getting more expensive and don’t understand why.

Cash App looks promising. What’s the minimum age requirement? The gift recipient is about 13 or 14 years old.
