Real life is all-around better. While I think it is vital that we try to build a web of trust to mimic real-life interactions online, I also think we need to development online interactions in such a way that they try to bring people together in real-life as much as possible and otherwise get out of the way.
I was so fucking unprepared for that.
Holy shit.

What did it portend?
Well, that is a good point. There is probably some defense in calling that gold coin an "element" of a particular payment, in the way that any particular set of tags constitute an element of a particular html document. But yeah, you are right. HTML elements are instances.
What is the evidence? Twitter still being available in Brazil?
There should be a hard limit of Dunbar's Number at 150 forcing you to curate your list to focus on quality. Known identities can be unlimited, but actual follows 150.
Not that bizarre. All those other things are called "elements" because the word element just means something like "Essential part" You can have elements of just about anything if they describe the basic building blocks of that thing.
If you're not using https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip you're missing on an absurd amount of speed and smoothness a web app cannot ever deliver.
I looked into the repo and thought it was interesting only to discover that I already built it from source last week and forgot.🤢
This is a problem with canned replies. There isn't going to be an argument that works for everyone. It depends on each person's specific objections and values. I have been catholic since birth and committedly so, yet none of the "proofs of God's existence" have worked for me. They are at best, arguments for God's existence.
I wish I could say that I had the simple accepting faith that so many of my friends and family do. I wish I could say that I'd have found my way to Catholicism if I'd been born elsewhere, but I get to have a daily struggle instead. I'd like to think it is because I am just too smart for a simple faith, but in reality I am just too proud.
What I can do, regardless of the reason, is give a well-reasoned account for why I remain in the faith and fall ever deeper in Love with God and will do so till death. What that won't do is be enough for you.
Luckily nothing I or C.S. Lewis can say needs to be enough for you. If Christ is who He claims to be than He will make himself known in a way that works for you (that is not to say on your terms however) If he isn't.. well now that is a confusing situation of un-falsifiabilty.
Does Amethyst already cache my personal notes?
Your release notes should fit in a single network packet with an MTU of 1500 bytes.
Is #zapathon just a bunch of accounts reusing memes in hopes of coming out a few satoshis ahead and mostly being disappointed?
Those days still exist. I am more likely to get answers on an obscure topic in a irc channel with 20 nicks than I am in a Discord channel with 2,000. The difference is in how easy it is to discover a channel and pop in even if it isn't a main topic of interest.
Discord et al make discovery and joining difficult enough that if you bother to jump through the hoops you will probably just stay joined even if you never check it again.
Then there is the segregation of topics within a server. On irc you never feel like you have to declare. "I say, Reginald old pal, shall we retire to the 'compilation issues' sub-channel? I've some niggling warnings I've been meaning to run by you." You always get the vague feeling you are off-topic and that squashes lively conversation.
I'd love to see a Nostr based irc clone with very simple structure and not even have to join an irc server.
Irc has the most enduring usefulness to me. It has declined with advent of slack and discord as communities move to those platforms. But the Slack clones don't provide the same easy movement between communities that makes irc useful.
I think the relays part of nostr might be a bit of an Achilles heel. It is really hard to do all this without them, but they are a crutch. They should be a fallback only. Hole punch and TURN servers.
That seems to have made me visible again, but I am not sure how to save my profile with relays listed. Alby doesn't have that option that I can tell. I can't post via Coracle, I am guessing that is because it doesn't know where to post without relays listed.
I can find myself if I search dwigton@getalby.com I am checking the npub it is listing.
